I've Been Thinking:

It’s becoming apparent that more and more people in Gaza are just fed up with Hamas and their leadership in Gaza.

#TheyKidnappedGaza is a campaign on social media that is making headway among Gazans.

In a tweet about Hamas leadership, Sad Abdalah tweeted: “Thieves can’t build a state that takes care of the interests of its people, just as they can’t liberate an occupied homeland.”

On his Facebook page Amin Abed of Gaza posted: “…Gaza is the only place in the world where, when you go forward, you go backward thanks to its rulers.”

He explained that the campaign is intended “to make the ruler [Hamas] aware of its responsibilities after reaching an unbearable level of injustice and deterioration in all aspects of life.”

Gazans who tweet and post about Hamas in unflattering and critical language are putting their lives and the lives of their families at risk. They may be arrested or even murdered for speaking against Hamas.

But they’re willing to take the risk. Because that’s how very much they want change.
