Imagine saying no one protested Hamas when according to Egyptian intelligence they shared with Israel before October 7, the protests and riots in Gaza could force militants groups Hamas and associates out.
Why do you think Hamas did october 7 this particular year? Randomly? They wanted to spark a conflict because attacks from Israel are the only way for them to stay in power.
And I am not saying that Netanyahou let the attack happen, but moving soldiers from Gaza to the West Bank, not reacting to multiple foreign government warning you an attack was imminent would also be a good way to stay in power. Who, in 2023, would have thought Netanyahou would still be Israeli's PM?
If people widely protest(ed) Hamas the pertinent question to ask is why the western media did not report on this in anything resembling the fervour they reserve for repeating anti-Israel agitprop produced by that same Hamas. If you use a self-hosted news aggregator like I do it becomes shockingly clear just how much the legacy media parrot whatever comes out of the Hamas communications department. The people running the latter deserve credit for hoodwinkling a large fraction of the 'decent' media in the West.
The saying goes fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Tell me, 'decent' media in the West, how does it feel to have so much shame on you that your establishments are collapsing under the sheer weight of it?
Fortunately there are other channels besides the legacy ones, unfortunately many of those are just as unreliable as the legacy ones because they are heavily biased towards either of the combatants in this war.
