Were protests in Gaza 'anti-Hamas'?

Publisher’s rating: In conclusion, it's difficult to state with certainty that the protests in Gaza this week were exclusively aimed against Hamas, nor can they be said to represent a general uprising against the group. Rather they reflect a broad range of opinions held among Palestinians in Gaza, including some explicitly anti-Hamas voices, but most of all, a feeling of desperation and war weariness after over a yearof an Israeli military campaign directed against the enclave and yet another breakdown in a ceasefire. They also reveal the nuanced and dangerous situation in which Palestinians in Gaza find themselves.
