Short answer
The events after the October 2025 ceasefire expose the hypocrisy of the so-called “pro-Palestinian” camp. If they truly cared about Gazans, they’d be outraged right now, because Hamas is once again hunting, torturing, and executing anyone who dares to oppose them, criticize them, protest against them, or is seen as a threat to their control.
Right after the ceasefire, Hamas launched a “security campaign” — a violent purge disguised as law enforcement, and much of the media quietly echoed it instead of condemning it. Dozens of Palestinians, including children from families labeled “disloyal,” were killed. Some were executed in town squares in broad daylight, not by Israel, but by Hamas.
Yet the “Free Palestine” activists are silent: no outrage, no hashtags, no marches. Because it probably was never about protecting Palestinians, it’s always been about attacking Israel.
Long answer
The so-called “pro-Palestinian” movement claims to care about the people of Gaza, but their silence after the October 2025 ceasefire exposes the truth. If they truly cared, they’d be outraged that Hamas is once again hunting, torturing, and executing anyone who dares to oppose them, criticize them, protest against them, or is seen as a threat to their control. Instead, they look away.
After the October 11 ceasefire, Hamas launched what it cynically called a “security campaign” — a violent purge to reassert control over Gaza. Verified footage shows masked Hamas gunmen carrying out public executions in the Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City — victims forced to kneel in the street before being shot in front of crowds. Local sources say innocent civilians, including children, were among those killed “without any justification and under flimsy pretexts.” Hamas defended these acts as “exceptional measures” and boasted it had no intention of disarming or ending its “resistance.” It even posted videos of the killings online — a deliberate message of terror meant to intimidate anyone who might dare to oppose it.
None of this is new. For years, groups like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have documented Hamas’s brutality against its own people — abductions, torture, and executions of anyone accused of disloyalty or seen as a threat to its rule. During the 2014 war alone, Amnesty reported that Hamas carried out a “brutal campaign of abductions, torture, and unlawful killings” of Palestinians it accused of collaborating with Israel.
And yet, those who claim to stand for “Palestinian lives” remain silent. When Hamas massacres fellow Palestinians, there are no protests in Western capitals, no hashtags, no celebrity outrage. The same activists who flood the streets when Israel defends itself suddenly have nothing to say when Palestinians are executed in public squares by Hamas — entire families, including children, erased from the narrative by those who once pretended to care.
Their hypocrisy is on full display. It was never about protecting Gazans. The same voices that chant “Free Palestine” go silent when Palestinians need to be freed from Hamas. Their activism was never about justice — only about attacking Israel.
