In discussions about the Israel–Gaza conflict, we often hear from political leaders, activists, and analysts. But what about the everyday voices of Palestinians themselves? Not all Palestinians agree with or support Hamas, and many have openly criticized the group for its actions, leadership, and priorities.
The video below captures Palestinians speaking candidly about their frustration and anger toward Hamas. They share concerns about corruption, misuse of aid, and policies that they feel have harmed ordinary people rather than helped them. Some accuse Hamas of prioritizing political power over the well-being of Gaza’s residents. Others speak about the lack of freedoms, economic hardship, and the dangers they face for speaking out.
It’s important to recognize that these voices do not represent every Palestinian perspective. There are many different viewpoints, shaped by personal experience, political beliefs, and the realities of living in Gaza. But videos like this give us a rare opportunity to hear directly from individuals who live under Hamas rule and are willing to speak openly about their dissatisfaction—even at personal risk.
Watch the video and hear these perspectives for yourself.
