For the second day in a row, large protests have erupted in Khan Yunis, Gaza, with Palestinians calling for a ceasefire and expressing their opposition to the ongoing conflict. The protesters, including displaced civilians, are directing their demands at both Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, urging an end to the war and the destruction it has caused with chants of 'ENOUGH WAR!'. These anti-Hamas demonstrations have been growing in size and intensity, with chants of 'Netanyahu and Sinwar, we want a ceasefire!' and the waving of white flags. The protests have also spread to other areas, including Deir al Balah, where calls for the release of hostages have been made. The sentiment against Hamas is also evident outside of Gaza, with protests in New York, Freiburg, Germany, and Ulm, Germany, demanding an end to Israeli aggression and the production of weapons for occupation. In the United States, a significant legal action has been taken as human rights organizations and Palestinians are suing President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin in federal court, accusing them of aiding and abetting genocide through ongoing military aid to Israel. The case has garnered attention with demonstrations outside the federal courthouse in Oakland, where protesters have accused Biden of complicity in genocide. The growing unrest is a sign of frustration among Gazans who, despite fears of repression, are increasingly vocal against Hamas, with some suggesting that polls are inaccurate in reflecting public opinion.

THREAD: Human rights organizations and Palestinians are suing Biden for aiding and abetting genocide in federal court right now. What you need to know:
This is a protest in Deir al Balah, Gaza. They are calling on Hamas to release the hostages so they can return home. Perhaps the Gazan spirit is not as unconquerable as we all thought... https://t.co/9PqQv3pSBi
Another implicitly anti-Hamas protest in southern Gaza called for peace, a ceasefire & the release of hostages. I've said this repeatedly: polls are inaccurate; displaced/hungry/battered & frustrated Gazans are against Hamas but fear retribution & repression. This is significant. https://t.co/JqFWxNUVtV
"We want peace" For the second day, displaced civilians in southern Gaza held a protest in which they demanded a ceasefire & the end of the war. They specifically addressed Hamas's Sinwar & Israel's Netanyahu, demanding an end to the fighting to go home & the release of hostages. https://t.co/YlFdotFJFa

The protest in Khan Yunis is growing. They are chanting, "Netanyahu and Sinwar, we want a ceasefire!" while waving white flags. A very different tune from what we heard in October. Turns out that it's not Israeli compromises that promote peace. It's Israeli resolve. https://t.co/gBwSReAlo0
For the second day in a row, Gazans take to the streets to protest Hamas and call for peace. If Hamas cared about Gazan civilians, it would release the hostages and surrender. https://t.co/iUyV03Tdmp
