But you're not really expecting people to take to the streets to protest a terrorist group, are you? Come on now. It doesn't work like that.
What gets me though is that any kind of cease fire means capitulating to terrorists. That's not it. I think Israel bombing a refugee camp yesterday, killing between 50 and 400 innocent people, is what's fueling protests. Some like the black and white of war. Others see the gray. And they're not board with either side. They're on the side of innocent human beings being slaughtered. No matter where they live.

Could you take a moment to explain how it works then?

@flipper1966 People protest governments and laws. Things where their protests might actually move a needle. Protesting a terrorist group thousands of miles away over their twisted strategies doesn't allow for any change. And I think it's pretty safe to say that most every American stands against terrorist organizations. It's sort of a given. And I just don't see Hamas leadership bending for Americans on the streets with signs reading "Stop Hamas.'
@Ynotisay I hear you, but that's partly true though.
After terrorist attacks, people have taken to the streets to reaffirm their values, and they can also put pressure on their governments to save Hamas' hostages.
Only the families of hostages are being vocal here, they had to call WHO to ask for a little message of support, one week after the event.
NGOs say nothing about the terrorist attack and the conditions of sick hostages. So there's more than pragmatism here, there's a political slant.
