Yesterday saw a potential breakthrough in the conflict in Gaza. It wasn’t the result of diplomacy. Or thanks to the renewed Israeli offensive there, although it surely was a contributing factor.

Rather, for the first time since the war began when Hamas and not a few Gazan civilians murderously invaded Israel on October 7, 2023, Gaza saw large public demonstrations against – wait for it – HAMAS! 

Protesters waving white flags and denouncing the terrorists who have long oppressed, brainwashed and weaponized them and relentlessly used them as human shields, causing thousands of needless casualties and destruction of hospitals, schools, mosques and other infrastructure.

Unless Hamas kills more of its own people, they just might be able to terminate the jihadists’ reign of terror – and create conditions for finally ending the war in Gaza and allowing them to live far better lives elsewhere.
