In response to communication from CAMERA\u2019s Israel office, Times of Israel has deleted a June 28 Instagram post<\/a> which misidentified footage of a pro-Hamas gathering as a demonstration protesting the designated terror organization which rules the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In the now deleted footage, residents appeared carrying the green Hamas flags. Contrary to a common social media practice for news organizations, Times of Israel did not publish a post noting the deletion and its reason.<\/p>\n

The Jerusalem Post reported that turnout for planned June 26 anti-Hamas demonstrations in the Gaza Strip was low (\u201cProtests, revolution in Strip cannot succeed while Hamas remains in control, Gazans tell \u2018Post,<\/a>\u2018\u201d):<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one can imagine the level of fear and intimidation Hamas has instilled in people\u2019s hearts since its foundation in 1987,\u201d said one Palestinian from Gaza City.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are simply too afraid to protest, even now after all what they\u2019ve been through,\u201d he told\u00a0The Jerusalem Post. \u201cThis is because Hamas is still here, controlling people\u2019s lives, and nobody can say a word,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

There was widespread anticipation about whether the demonstrations, set for 4 p.m., would attract local residents, but it soon became clear that the June 26 protest failed, as almost no one showed up.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt ended in failure because there was a lot of pressure on people to keep silent,\u201d said the\u00a0Gaza<\/a>\u00a0resident, speaking anonymously, out of fear of reprisal. \u201cAnyone who even considered joining the rallies refrained from doing so, as participants were labeled traitors and agents of anarchy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hamas totalitarian repression of opposing voices is a contributing factor to skewed media coverage of the conflict, which largely exonerates the terrorist organization which carried out the Oct. 7 atrocities of responsibility for the ensuing devastation of the coastal territory which it rules.<\/p>\n
