A Facebook page – it came up when we googled “Hamas Free” – there were many other sites. You can see that those holding the signs are Muslim. The presence of these sites demonstrates that this war is not about “land” or “Israel v.s. the Palestinians/Gazans”. It is Israel and the Palestinians/Gazans against Hamas!
