I've said repeatedly, time & again: 1. Pro-Hamas sentiments among the Western-based "pro-Palestine" movement are the mainstream, not the exception; 2. Large elements of the "pro-Palestine" movement couldn't care less about Gazans & the evil they endure due to Hamas's terrorism.

Unbelievable: under constant bombardment and Israeli airstrikes, people in Gaza still found the courage to rise up and protest against Hamas. Yet the protests were overwhelmingly ignored by major pro-Palestine voices, accounts, and media outlets that claim to support Palestinians. The bravest act of defiance—dismissed, simply because it didn’t fit their narrative. What’s worse is that many didn’t stop at silence. They went further—smearing these courageous protesters, accusing them of betrayal, and lecturing them that Hamas is “resistance.” You’d think the harshest backlash against anti-Hamas protesters in Gaza came from Palestinians loyal to Hamas—but it didn’t. It came from abroad: pro-Hamas voices in the West and keyboard warriors, thousands of miles away, sitting comfortably as they preach “resistance” while Palestinians bleed. Those who did this aren’t pro-Palestine—they’re pro-Hamas. They’re indifferent—because they’re not the ones paying the price, but Palestinians in Gaza.
