Hamas Cracks Down on Protesters With Atrocities While an indifferent world yawns. P. David Hornik

As I noted in a post on Thursday, last week parts of Gaza erupted in bitter anti-Hamas protests. The protesters weren’t friends of Israel or the West, but they were fed up with the misery Hamas has brought upon Gaza by fighting a vastly more powerful foe, Israel, and continuing to fight us.
As of Friday, though, the protests have stopped. Why would that be?
Israel’s Ynetnews reports:
Hamas has begun cracking down on Gazans who participated in recent protests against the group’s rule, executing six people and publicly beating others, according to Palestinian activists and residents. Among those killed was Odai al-Rubai, 22, a resident of Gaza City’s Tel al-Hawa neighborhood. Al-Rubai had called for public demonstrations and spoken out against Hamas on social media. He was abducted by Hamas operatives, tortured for four hours, and then returned to his family as he lay dying, witnesses said.
“He was dragged by a rope around his neck, beaten with clubs and metal rods in front of passersby,” said one resident who asked not to be identified for fear of retribution.
Another resident, Hussam al-Majdalawi, was reportedly kidnapped and beaten in Gaza’s Nuseirat refugee camp. Al-Majdalawi, who had also spoken against Hamas, was shot in the legs and left wounded in a public square, according to eyewitnesses.
The report goes on to detail other Hamas atrocities against protesters. It quotes a Gazan who says: “There isn’t a single journalist in Gaza who can speak about the crimes being committed here. The world has no idea what’s happening.”
It’s not so much that it has no idea, though, as that it doesn’t care.
No Jews, no news. Israel inflicting civilian casualties—at rates lower than other Western armies when fighting terror groups in urban warfare—is, of course, very big news and sets Hague kangaroo courts in action. Palestinians torturing and murdering other Palestinians—that’s cognitive dissonance, doesn’t fit the narrative.
For all of it to stop, for Gaza’s rehabilitation to begin, for the Israeli hostages to be freed from their hell, Hamas just has to surrender. Its leaders are being offered, magnanimously by Israel and the US, safe passage out of Gaza in return for doing so. Hamas is a hub of evil that radiates suffering and hell for all.
