Hamas embeds its men, and hides its weapons, among the civilian population of Gaza. It holds the people hostage as human shields against Israeli attacks, knowing that the IDF will withhold fire if it thinks too many civilians may be killed or injured in an attack about to be launched on Hamas combatants.. And if — as is unavoidable — some civilians are wounded or killed because of their proximity to Hamas’ combatants and weapons storehouses, Hamas knows it can use those casualties for propaganda purposes. It is indifferent to the welfare of the people of Gaza. Hamas members even steal much of the humanitarian aid – food and medicine trucked into Gaza, for the use of themselves and their families, before it can be properly distributed to its intended recipients, the people of Gaza. The food is being sent in by the IDF — more than 40,000 truckloads of humanitarian aid so far — and there is no attempt by Israel to “starve the population,” as Palestinian propagandists claim, but the problem is that once the trucks are inside Gaza, Hamas prevents the equitable distribution of the aid, and instead helps itself to as much of that aid as it wants.
It is a dangerous thing to criticize Hamas, but more and more people in Gaza have been sickened by what the terror group has inflicted on them, using them as human shields, stealing their aid, exploiting their deaths for propaganda purposes. In their despair and fury, these Gazans, and foreign volunteers, too, have chosen to speak out, despite the obvious danger to themselves. More on those in Gaza – including foreign volunteers — now wiling to publicly denounce Hamas, can be found here: “‘Traders in our blood’: Gazan pleads to be saved from Hamas ‘before the Jews,’” Jerusalem Post, August 10, 2024:
Displaced Gazans have begun begging for allies to save them from Hamas amid the ongoing war between Israel and the Hamas terror group ruling the enclave, Saudi media reported on Friday.
“Save us from Hamas before the Jews. I appeal to every living conscience to watch. These are traders in our blood. Every day they trade in our blood,” one Palestinian pled in a video that has gone viral, the Saudi Al Marsd reported.
“Our children and women are in the streets. Oh, conscience of the world, save us from Hamas before the Jews,” he continued.

Anti-Hamas dissidents in Gaza
Some Palestinians have spoken out against Hamas as well as the actions the group has taken to maximize the war’s impact on civilian populations.
Hamas has been accused of stealing humanitarian aid destined for civilians and, in July, was recorded beating hungry Gazans attempting to access resources from a warehouse.
Terrorists were recorded beating a restrained and blindfolded civilian with sticks.
Despite polls showing widespread support for the terror group, Arab media outlets like the Qatari state-owned Al Jazeera network have been caught censoring criticism of the group….
Al Jazeera is owned by the government of Qatar, that is also the main financial supporter of the terror group Hamas. Unsurprisingly, Al Jazeera — the largest Arab media outlet in the world — chooses to censor any criticism of Hamas, especially by the Gazans themselves. In its interviews with civilians resident in Gaza, at the first sign of any disaffection with Hamas, the interview is simply shut down.
It takes a great deal of courage — you are risking your life — for a Gazan or even a foreign volunteer publicly to criticize Hamas. But the group’s indifference to, or even satisfaction with, civilian casualties — because of their usefulness in anti-Israel propaganda and their rapacity in seizing food and other humanitarian aid for themselves and their families — has been too much for some Gazans to bear. It is the doctors working in Gaza who are on the front lines, seeing the suffering that Hamas has caused ordinary Gazans by embedding itself and its weapons in the civilian population, and hearing stories of how both food and medical supplies have been seized by Hamas, who have been most outspoken. And the doctors, some of whom are foreign volunteers, are somewhat protected from retaliation by Hama if they speak out against the terror group, because their services are understood to be so essential to the Gazans’ wellbeing, including of course the care they provide to wounded members of Hamas.
One can understand why Al Jazeera, funded by the same Qatari government that funds Hamas, will not report on anti-Hamas sentiment in Gaza. But what explains the silence of the BBC, CNN, The Guardian, The Washington Post, and The New York Times on those in Gaza who now denounce Hamas as “scum”? Or their failure to report on the Kurdish volunteer doctor, Dr. Baxtiyar Baram, who claims that only 10% of the population in Gaza now supports Hamas? Or the doctor in Gaza, himself wounded in Operation Arnon, who denounced the “rotten leadership” of Hamas? Surely this is a story worth reporting. Go to it, Western media, or are you afraid that by exposing Hamas’ mistreatment of Gazans, you would be helping Israel — and that, of course, would never do?
When truckloads of fond are delivered to Gaza, those who donate the food should be there to see it goes to those it is intended for. BUT I guess that would not be allowed by HAMAS. if the donors are not allowed to oversee the distribution then the donations should cease, but then the accusations that Israel is starving the Gazans would increase. This is a lose-lose situation for Israel – and for those who donate the food because why would anyone help their deadliest enemies?
IS THERE ANYWAY TO GET THIS ON A TV NEWS SHOW ?
I love cute typos. …
Is that “truckloads of food” or “truckloads of fondue” ?
Goldstein. Makes light of a Vile Tragedy. Jokes about typos ? I hope your family isn’t a Hostage
Well they leave land go elsewhere or stay with Hamas who don’t care about people in Gaza which was given for peace deal with yasir Arafat so no peace make them move out to safe Arab country and Hamas won’t have people to kick around no more
The thing is that no Arab country will take them. They all remember too well what happened to Jordan and Lebanon after taking in poor Palestinian refugees.
The MSM are models walking down the runway of the fashion show.
Petro-dollars run the show.
The MSM get rich.
Learn to love what you voted for!
Israeli propaganda including Netanyahu himself has spent the last eight months saying all Palestinian civilians are culpable for Hamas’s actions. Now Israel’s supporters want to acknowledge that there are Palestinians who aren’t pro-Hamas? Fitzgerald gets it the other way around, if it’s acknowledged that not all Palestinians are pro-Hamas (or that a majority are even against them, as one citation in this article claims) would just make Israel’s genocidal massacre all the more contemptible and unjustified. Mass-slaughtering Palestinians does nothing to save anti-Hamas Palestinians.
If anything it’s the *pro-Israel* bias why they those Western outlets don’t report on it, but outlets like the mentioned Saudi one does.
” the IDF will withhold fire if it thinks too many civilians may be killed or injured in an attack about to be launched on Hamas combatants”
Laughably and endlessly proven false. Update your talking points, after so many years it is now the IDF that has been caught using Palestinians as human shields in occupied Gaza.
They have finally decided they would rather live than to die killing Jews. So what?
They shouldn’t have raised Muslim genocidalism on their shoulders in the first place.
you are a sick lying troll of satan
I truly am sick and tired of correcting fellow traveler propagandists of Muslims lies such as the claim of genocide by the Israelis on the Arabs of Gaza! If the IDF goal was truly genocide, it wouldn’t be targeting Hamas, it would just have its military stay within the borders of Israel and just bombard the Gaza Strip night and day via artillery and missiles.
The IDF targets Hamas, you know the cowards that intentionally built their military tunnel system under U.N. buildings, mosques, schools and hospitals! Which means that in order for the IDF to destroy Hamas, it must first go through civilian structures. No – please tell me how the IDF should conduct its military operations, armchair general? If you’ve paid any attention to Hamas, it has explicitly stated that they don’t represent a people called Palestinians and that they are in a Jihad against the infidel. Also the Hamas charter states that any land previously conquered in the name of Allah must be defended and taken back at all costs!
Oh…I’m sorry did I hurt your feelings by telling the truth?
Those Gazans voted for Hamas to rule them. Many of them participated in the Oct 7 mass slaughter, and they cheered wildly as Hamas drove the murdered body of Shani Louk through the streets. From where I sit there are no civilians in Gaza, they are all Hamas, and they teach their children to murder Jews as soon as they can walk. I have no sympathy at all for them. They are all Hamas in my eyes.
I do wonder what % REALLY want to be saved “from hamass”! And “from hamass BEFORE Israel”?? What are they even saying? I guess they don’t want ISRAEL to save them from hamass??
One has to question WHY none of the neighboring Arab Nations will accept the “palestinians”! I guess it’s the same reason why a SANE person would not accept a cancer transfusion!
IF these people were GENUINELY against hamass then they would revolt! There are usually many men wandering around the FEW hamasses with weapons – strength in NUMBERS should provide them an advantage to overpower – grab some weapons (as if the stockpiles in every HOME, SCHOOL, or ‘place of worship’ wouldn’t provide ample opportunity for them to arm themselves) and END the hamass reign of terror! Sure some of them would meet their 72 vegans, but wouldn’t it be worth a try??
Thank you. Thank you. Marvelous piece of journalism. The blanket thrown over Gaza by CNN, BBC, Wapo and the others is so thick. Oh, how I wish these doctors would hold a press conference.
Al Jazeera, all main sleaze media, the UN, the demoncRats all are silent on the plight of the Palestinians who just want to live in peace and raise their families. They all lie and are tools of the devil. And this antisemitism will be sounded loudly at the vile DNC this week of which I will not watch one second to keep satanic spirits from entering my conscience.
Is there any group of people more pathetic than the arabs who call themselves “palestinian”? We are now into the 4th generation of these grifters acting like refugees and sucking of the liberal worlds teat. You would think that the world would catch on after such a long period of time
Release our hostages NOW! AM YISRAEL CHAI!!!!
Not a peep from the M.S. Media Bottom Feeders about the Crimes against Humanity committed by Ham-A**
One or two people here and there speaking out? Please. Wake me up when there’s a huge mass of them chasing Hamas out AND expressing genuine support for Israel.
Hint: It’s never going to happen because (1) they’d be too scared, (2) they’re just feeling desperate now but once things would settle down they’ll go back to supporting Hamas or some variation thereof, and perhaps most importantly, (3) they are raised from birth on teachings that embrace and fuel Jew hatred.
Shush, you don’t want foreign born Muslim hypocrites living in United States and their useful idiot Americans to know the truth about what’s happening in Gaza now – do you? After all, it’s these 2 groups of people protesting in Chicago that wish to erase Israel in favor of replacing it with some sort of half-assed mix of nouveau Marxism and an Islamic caliphate to create an utopia. The last time this mix of diverse political ideologues worked together was to overthrow the Shah of Iran. But things didn’t work out too well for the Marxists when the Shia Twelver cultists refused to share power.
I believe the young man in the video was unalived by the humus ..
The Arabs who call themselves ‘Gazans’ or ‘Palestiinians’ actually came from various Middle East countries after 2005, after Israel decided to show goodwill by abandoning the Gaza strip it had won after the Six-Day War, and settled in for over 35 years. And they settled there with one aim: destroy Israel and kill the Israelis.
“Brothers, there are 1.8 million of us (Arabs) in Gaza… Al Aqsa (The Dome of the Roc) and the land of Palestine represent the spearhead for islam and the muslims. When we seek the help [of our muslim brothers] it is to continue to wage jihad… Allah be praised, we [“Palestinians”] all have Arab roots, and every “Palestinian” in Gaza and throughout “Palestine” can prove his Arab roots, whether from Saudi Arabia, from Yemen, or anywhere… Brothers, half of the “Palestinians” are Egyptians, the other half are Saudis. Who are the “Palestinians”?… They may be from Alexandria, from Cairo, from Dumietta, from the North, from Aswan, from upper Egypt, we are Egyptians, we are Arabs, we are muslims, we are a part of you.” (Fathi Hammad, Hamas Minister of the Interior & National Security representing “the Palestinians”, addressing Egypt in 2012 – he was pleading for more oil supply.)
