#Politics #Israel #Hamas #Gaza
I've tried to avoid any commentary on what is obviously a sensitive topic right now ...
But the political consultant "spin doctor" in me has been musing that Israel, the U.S., and other allies should be spinning the IDF invasion of Gaza not just as a rescue mission for the hostages, but for all Palestinians under the thumb of Hamas.
"Join us in the streets! Help us bring down your oppressors!"
Especially now that Hamas is firing on its own refugees. (1/2)

I've no idea if it would work, and it should have been tried weeks ago before Israel took their PR hits.
But clearly the majority of Gaza residents have no love for Hamas and have been terrorized by them.
Maybe they would have turned out and created enough chaos that Hamas couldn't have mounted an effective defense.
Just my idle speculation. Not looking for a fight with anyone. 😊 (2/2)
Gaza Palestinians are being forced at gunpoint by Hamas to stay and be used as human shields and are shot if they try to evacuate.
also are forced to pay a huge tax to Hamas for basic necessities like food and water
they are hostages in the war.
