“You son of a dog” – Gaza resident curses Hamas leaders for “destroying us”
It seems Gazan residents may have had it with Hamas’ leadership, if the resident in the video above represents a growing sentiment in the Strip. In an interview with Hebron radio station Al-Alam reporter in the Gaza Strip Muhammad Mansour, a man damned Hamas leaders Yahya Al-Sinwar and Muhammad Deif for “destroying us.” He also cursed Al-Sinwar as a “son of a dog,” calling on Allah to “take revenge” on him:
Gaza Strip resident: “I want to convey my message to the Hamas government. May Allah take revenge on you, [and] curse your forefathers… May Allah curse you, O Al-Sinwar (i.e., Hamas terror leader), you son of a dog, may Allah take revenge on you, you’ve destroyed us… We migrated from Gaza [City] to Khan Yunis, and from Khan Yunis to Rafah. We were scattered, us and our family, our wives, our children. Give the [Israeli] prisoners [back to Israel], these dogs who are in your possession… Al-Sinwar is underground, hiding together with Deif (i.e., Hamas terror leader) and all the disgusting ones like him.”

Palestinian Media Watch has exposed additional criticism of Hamas leaders by Gazan citizens who are fed up with their leaders sitting comfortably abroad or underground, while they are being used as human shields.
This little girl told the truth: Hamas is “underneath, in tunnels, and we – the victims who are dying – are civilians”:
This unfortunate truth has been corroborated openly by Hamas leaders, saying they “need the blood of the children” to make Palestinians willing to fight Israel.
