      To their defense, it’s not exactly a safe idea to hold an anti-Hamas rally. Polling, as unreliable as it is in areas like Gaza, generally shows majority, but not absolute, support for Hamas, and it’s of course a completely different picture in the West Bank.

        Rock and a hard place, it’s very similar to the situation the people of Afghanistan find themselves in, if you are living in Kabul, yeah the Taliban aren’t sunshine and rainbows, but you are pretty happy to see them swoop in when ISIS shows up. (I’m not equating ISIS and the IDF directly for the record, but you can see how from a Gazans perspective the IDF poses a similar threat at times)
