Planned anti-Hamas protests never happened

For months, an organization called Tamarod Gaza has promised a massive anti-Hamas rally for November 11. It gathered media attention and Hamas was nervous with some arrests of some of the leaders ahead of time.

November 11 came and went, and nothing happened.

A regular weekly women's protest calling for the end to the division between Hamas and Fatah in a square in Gaza was broken up by Hamas which didn't allow people or vehicles to enter the area.

That was it.

Tamarod Gaza's Facebook page pretends that its non-protest was a success, saying "read between the lines" and it is better to bounce back after a fall  than to lie there and be trampled.

Hamas is weaker than it has been at any time since it took over power in Gaza. It no longer has sponsorship from the Egyptian government. People are upset not only at the continued  division but also at the inability to travel to Egypt and Hamas' holding Gazans hostage to get a better deal on fuel for the power plant. This was the perfect time to kick off a popular anti-Hamas movement  and to put real pressure on the terror movement - and from all appearances, they chickened out.
