Anti-Hamas protests erupt in Gaza. Where are our pro-Palestine 'allies' now? Opinion

1. Good question.

Fact is, this is all on Hamas. They started this conflict, continued the conflict and let their own people die. They used them as shields in the hospitals, their homes and in their safe places. They starved them, stole from them and denied them a right to life. They made them targets.

Shame on the Palestinian protesters for having gone silent now but sadly it just didn't fit their scenario.

Some observers ask: Why now? Where are the women?

Imagine being a woman in Gaza, trying to make your voice heard in a Hamas-controlled, male-dominated society while simultaneously struggling to secure food and shelter for your family.

Even then, the young men, the elderly and all those brave souls who have risked their lives to defy Hamas in the streets are carrying a message much greater than themselves. They are the voice of countless others who share their sentiment but fear the repercussions and consequences of speaking out.
