One suggested that it would be a good idea for Israel, rather than Hamas or the Palestinian Authority, to take control of Gaza and that unarmed civilians should be allowed to leave for their own safety until the takeover is completed.

“Every day a Hamas leader is killed,” another said. “How long can Hamas hold the people hostage? Just how high a price is Hamas willing to pay on our behalf?” Later in the interview, he said that while in Gaza, he saw a Hamas terrorist assembling a rocket launcher in front of his apartment building and told him to move, saying that he was putting 95 human beings at risk. The man moved the rocket launcher, but that night the Gazan was visited by Hamas thugs, who beat him for interfering with the “resistance.”

When another Gazan was asked how he viewed Hamas, he said, “I view Hamas as an entity holding two million human beings hostage alive in Gaza. Any of them who dare to speak their mind or say anything at all will lose their lives immediately.”
