Gazans Prepare More Protests of Hamas Policies

(Al-Monitor) Rasha Abou Jalal - After the drowning deaths of Gazan migrants off the Greek coast on Nov. 6, the "We Want to Live" movement, that began in 2019, has resurfaced to demand a decent life for Gazans. On Nov. 21, the movement announced it would continue to protest. "The increase in prices is emptying our pockets amid illegal and inhumane taxes and tolls that the de facto government is taking by force." Twitter user "Uncle Hassan" tweeted on Nov. 25, "We Gazans want an open country like in the old days to be able to work in the West Bank and Israel. Our youth have become fish food during their emigration from Gaza in search of a decent life." Protest coordinator Azmi al-Shuyukhi told Al-Monitor, "We tell the lords of palaces and hotels and the ruling sultans in Gaza that the revolution of the hungry in Gaza may explode at any moment....This government has starved, humiliated and robbed people of their ability to provide for their children."
