The demonizing of Israeli actions is sustained by a wide range of individuals and organizations, all purporting to be concerned about the welfare of Palestinians. However, they ignore the anti-Hamas actions by Gazans.  

When ceasefire talks broke down at the end of March, there were two days of widespread demonstrations against Hamas. The New York Times reported that prominent Palestinian clans and families in southern Gaza who oppose Hamas issued a joint statement calling on Palestinians in the territory to “launch a popular uprising against injustice,” and protest against Hamas.
