Arab Spring Coming to Gaza?

An anonymous Palestinian youth group calling themselves “The rebellion against tyranny in Gaza” has been established in the Strip deriving inspiration from Egypt’s Tamarod movement. The group is calling on the public to bring down the Hamas government in the Gaza Strip. 

November 11: Arab Spring in the Gaza Strip

The following is the translations of the first public video calling for the overthrow of Hamas in the Gaza Strip…But, I want to first note that this new group is still anti-Israel…However, it doesn’t hurt Israel when the Arabs are warring among themselves, even if the Jews get blamed.

“The Tarramud Movement in the Gaza Strip…on the shining day of November 11, we will shake off the tyranny and oppression of the Muslim Brotherhood (i.e., Hamas) in Gaza. They are no brothers of ours. They have deceived us in the name of religion and “resistance.” They have labeled themselves as believers and us as infidels. Allah alone has the authority to deem someone an infidel or a traitor. But they do.

Our people have never known bloodshed for the sake of bloodshed alone, except at the hands of the gang of Hamas. Our people have never suffered daily humiliation, torture, trumped-up charges, denial of people’s rights, and the triumph of the oppressor over the oppressed except at the hands of the gang of Hamas in Gaza.

The time has come to refuse to die oppressed under the rod of the security (agencies) of Hamas. The Tamarrud Movement against Oppression in Gaza is a Palestinian youth movement, which encompasses all (political) hues and orientations. Is anyone safe from the autocratic rule of Hamas in Gaza?

Our people, of all national inclinations and ideologies – even the Islamic ones – have been targets for the crimes of this heretic gang, which carried out killings, torture, and sabotage, and acted like thugs, taking bribes and smuggling, just like a gang from the Middle Ages.

What is so shameful and disgraceful is that they are doing all this in the name of Islam, the homeland, and resistance.

The only thing we desire is to shake off the yoke of oppression, and to seal the abyss (in Palestinian society), dug by the Hamas gang – those traffickers in tunnels and hypocrisy. We want to restore the national standing of Gaza, so that it can regain its role in the war for freedom and independence from the Zionist occupation.

For the sake of the future of our homeland and the coming generations, we must all make November a purely Palestinian national day.”
