(Ha'aretz) Amira Hass - Basel, 30, who remained in northern Gaza, refuses to absolve Hamas from responsibility for the catastrophe that has befallen the Gazans. "People are constantly cursing Sinwar, but this isn't reflected in the journalists' reports. I'm one of the millions whose lives Hamas is gambling with for crazy slogans with no basis in reality." "There's enormous anger and bitterness everywhere against Hamas," says Amal, a woman in her 60s. She has also heard about people "who were threatened after they expressed their opinion in public." Nura, in her 60s, tells how someone proposed that they demonstrate, but others were afraid that Hamas would shoot at them. As Basel puts it, "Hamas' military power in Gaza has been almost totally destroyed, but not its power to oppress us."
