    “So what’s stopping Palestinians from putting pressure on them?”

    What would you do if you were the Palestinian in this question. seriously. Hamas is not held an election since 2006 what would you do to put pressure on Hamas while you lived in the Gaza strip?

    The answer to your question is lots of stuff is stopping the Palestinians from putting pressure on Hamas.

      We are talking about a rally in London. All I expect is to see a few signs calling for the end of Hamas, an end to violence or something along the lines. All I see is “Free Palestine” signs, which is nothing more than an antisemitic dog whistle.

        How is that a dog whistle? Is Palestine not in need of being freed? Israel has been holding people in Gaza down for decades and treating them like they are sub-human. Calling out that behaviour as monstrous is not a “dog whistle”, it’s directly saying out loud what the problem is.
