"We, the people of Gaza, are also living like hostages of Hamas."
Ein Interview mit
Sami Obeid (polit. Kommentator in israel. Medien, Journalist sowie Rundfunksprecher für einen Gaza-Radiosender )Bewohner des Gazastreifens mit
The Times of Israel. Sami Obeid lebte acht Jahre in Tel Aviv und spricht fließendes Hebräisch.
Er beschreibt (vor allem die letzten 6 Monate) die Lage aus seiner Perspektive über all die Strapazen des Alltags / Lebens im umkämpften Gaza-Gebiet, wie die Gazabewohner die Hamas wahrnehmen und was sie sich für
die Zukunft erhoffen.

So they did October 7 out of revenge against us, in the expectation that Netanyahu would retaliate and devastate Gaza. What do Hamas leaders care anyway, they are all abroad,” he said.....
(Auszug übersetzt):
...„Es wird sowieso nie zwei Staaten geben. Also lasst uns ein Land schaffen, und wir [Palästinenser] werden mit euch zusammenleben“, forderte Obeid. „Es gibt keine andere Lösung. Die Alternative ist ein endloser Krieg, ein Muslim tötet einen Juden, ein Jude tötet einen Muslim.“....
Most of the people I see in Rafah are living off money coming from outside of Gaza, from family and friends abroad. Nobody is working, and everything has become very expensive.
Of course, there are Hamas people, they moved down here from Gaza City with the rest of the population. The few police forces are from Hamas. They are also patrolling the Rafah border crossing, receiving the goods that come in, checking who goes in and out.
Those who leave Gaza need to pass by the Ministry of Interior, which is run by Hamas. But of course, each person needs to pay at least $5,000 to leave.
[According to multiple reports, Gazans who do not hold a foreign passport must pay between $5,000 and $10,000 to an Egyptian broker to be allowed to cross the border into Sinai.]
Those who have the money can go on “a trip” to Egypt for two or three months, until the war ends.
The Times of Israel:
So you think Israelis and Palestinians can live together?
What do you remember from your eight years living among Israelis in Tel Aviv?
Obeid:
I knew many Jews, and never had a problem with them, I hung out with them all the time, boys and girls together. I always respected them.
It was a mistake that Hebrew was not taught in Gaza to every single person. When Hamas rose to power and started brainwashing people about its divine mission to fight the Jews and liberate Palestine, I started wondering “Where will they lead these poor people, with their lies and their wars? I don’t want to die for their cause, let them go to die.”
