Ramadan is a time for self accountability. A time during which every Muslim observes his actions and choices and his path in life. This year, in this Ramadan, Gazans' introspection should be more profound than it ever has been. Because since October 2023, Gaza is not what it once was.
In the span of a few months, Gaza turned into rubble. Tens of thousands of inhabitants paid the price with their lives. Entire neighborhoods, cities- were erased. Hundreds of thousands of people were removed from their houses and found themselves living in tents, fighting daily to find food, water and medicine. Families were shattered, children remained fatherless, and entire societies were gone. This is the reality you're living in. This is the reality that Hamas brought upon you.
And here, since it's Ramadan, you have to ask yourselves: what did you gain from Hamas? Who gets the Iftar meal while the people suffer from hunger? [Really badly worded sentence, translator corrected.] Is this real resistance - or just terrorism for the sake of terrorism? Is it worth all this destruction? [again terribly worded sentence that translator had to change up, if only they learned Arabic instead of sending poorly worded threats to starving people]
How was your life before the war - and how is it now? Could you have imagined a future where your children grow up in a safe environment with education, work and hope? Are Hamas the ones who provide you with this opportunity or the ones who deprive you of it?
And the bigger question: what did you do to get Hamas out of your lives? Are you prepared to carry on living this way?
The future has two choices: staying in the circle of death and destruction, or choosing a new path. A future where the inhabitants of Gaza aren't tools in the hands of Hamas' leaders. A future where you're not deprived of your basic rights to a dignified life, security and a future for your children.
Ramadan is the time of repentance. The time of wisdom. The time has come to face reality and ask - was this necessary? Do you want to carry on this way? And if not - what are you prepared to do to change things?
Since the beginning of the exchange deal between Hamas and Israel, this terrorist movement presents the release of the Israeli captives with ugly and ridiculous shows. Instead of handing them over in a respectful way, Hamas chooses to put the captives on pedestals in front of audiences, mockingly exploiting their difficult state for self promotion.
In one of these displays, female Israeli captives were shown smiling and waving their hands. In another instance, a male Israeli captive was for forced to kiss one of the vandals on stage [Israelis refer to fighters as "vandals" instead of terrorists or soldiers for some reason] all while armed Hamas vandals surrounded him.
Other captives had to watch the release of their colleagues from within a vehicle, as if they were mere spectators of a theater play. And during these scenes, there were chants and anthems glorifying Hamas, this movement that brought you an indescribable catastrophe.
The contrast between the vandals and the Israeli captives is clear as daylight: Hamas vandals look in good health, strong and well fed whereas the captives' appearance reflects severe hunger and continuous mistreatment. The captives looked emaciated, pale and tired, which proves the barbaric conditions there were kept in.
Instead of these spectacles, Hamas could have taken care of you, the strip's inhabitants. Hundreds of people work on organizing these ceremonies that only prove one thing: the strip's inhabitants still allow Hamas to control their fate and humiliate them.
The question poses itself: who are the meek among Gaza's inhabitants who come to cheer for these ridiculous displays with their kids? Does Hamas pay them to participate? Is there a single person in Gaza that still doesn't understand the scope of the loss and the great catastrophe that Hamas brought upon the strip?!
Hamas and Al Jazeera's photographers try to create a false impression that these displays are attended by thousands of people, but drone footage shows the truth: only a few of Gaza's inhabitants care to attend these performances.
It doesn't matter how many posters Hamas puts up in the strip, and how many anthems it will play. It is clear for the entire world that Hamas is done. Has it become clear for you too?
People of Gaza, especially those of who worked with Hamas, supported terror organizations or turned a blind eye as they were were controlling your lives - you know the truth.
For years you allowed Hamas to grow, deepen its control and rule over you with an iron fist. Now, when you look around at the ruin and destruction, can you still lie to yourselves?
Didn't you realize that this would be your fate? Wasn't it clear that the only path Hamas was leading you on it the abyss? After a year and a half of war, the truth cannot be hidden. Gaza no longer exists - a city pulsing with life has transformed [note how the city "transformed" by itself as if it was an act of god] into a pile a of rubble, entire families were exterminated, and the future of the upcoming generation is shrouded in mystery.
Last August, another shocking truth was revealed: Hamas falsified the polls conducted by Khalil Shikaki (https://tinyurl.com/4u7629s3) to maintain the illusion that it still has widespread support. But what does the true data show?
According to uncovered documents, Hamas forced the research center to change the polls' results. Whereas the real data showed a sharp decline in support for Hamas, the data that was imposed upon the center showed a false image of popular legitimacy. Hamas knows its support is eroding, and that is why it's obligated to falsify and peddle falsehoods.
