The recent protests in Gaza against Hamas have caught the world’s attention. For years, Hamas has ruled Gaza with an iron fist, but now Palestinians are daring to speak out. Small crowds have taken to the streets, chanting “Hamas out” and holding signs demanding an end to the war. This isn’t the first time Gazans have protested Hamas, but the timing is telling. After Israel resumed military operations, desperate civilians blamed Hamas for prolonging their suffering. Some protesters even called for foreign countries to help them escape the chaos. Hamas responded brutally, beating and killing demonstrators to crush dissent.
These protests show cracks in Hamas’s grip, but experts warn it’s too early to celebrate. Hamas still controls weapons and smuggling networks, and many Gazans fear retaliation. Israel’s military pressure has weakened Hamas, but the terrorist group thrives on chaos. Without a clear alternative leadership, Gaza’s future remains uncertain.
Meanwhile, in America, President Trump is taking bold action to protect national security. His administration is deporting green card holders and students who support Hamas. Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist at Columbia University, was arrested by ICE for allegedly spreading Hamas propaganda. Another student, Rumeysa Ozturk from Tufts, faced similar charges. Critics claim this targets free speech, but Trump insists it’s about keeping terrorists out.
The connection is clear: Hamas’s influence isn’t limited to Gaza. Radical sympathizers in U.S. universities are pushing pro-Hamas rhetoric, endangering Jewish students and undermining American values. Trump’s policies send a strong message—America won’t tolerate terrorism apologists. While the left cries “overreach,” law-abiding citizens know safety comes first.
Gaza’s protests might fade, but the lesson remains. Strong leadership, like Israel’s fight against Hamas and Trump’s deportation crackdown, is essential to defeat terrorism. Weakness only emboldens tyrants. The road to peace is long, but flushing out Hamas—both abroad and at home—is a critical first step.
