As protests in cities across the country — supposedly to show support for the people of Gaza — continue amid terrorists' bloody war against Israel, visible elements at the demonstrations continue to suggest a sentiment antithetical to the "peace" they supposedly stand for.
Over the weekend in Minnesota's Twin Cities, a "Stand Up for Palestine" demonstration in Minneapolis quickly revealed that "for Palestine" is more often than not analogous with "pro-Hamas" as two men on an all-terrain vehicle tore down a roadway that had been shut down by protestors carrying out a "die-in" to supposedly show solidarity with Gazans.
The ATV passenger, wearing a ski mask, proudly held the Hamas flag as the vehicle paraded past onlookers.

In the video, no shows of disapproval were seen or heard from those gathered along the street.
Instead, the only ire from the demonstrators during the display was apparently reserved for uninvolved motorists who sought to travel through the area of the protest, as captured by multiple individuals covering the event:

Notably, if demonstrators wishing to stand up for the people in Gaza who are not supporting the Hamas terrorist government wanted to find a side to support, that would be the side of Israel.
As long as Hamas remains in power in Gaza, the quality of life will continue to degrade. In addition, as long as Hamas is able to launch strikes against innocent Israelis, the lives of Gaza residents will continue to be endangered.
Not only does Hamas purposefully launch rocket attacks in close proximity to schools, hospitals, and United Nations buildings, but between 30 and 40 percent of Hamas rockets misfire or otherwise fail and land on buildings and residents in Gaza. With Hamas, there is no peace and no hope for a better life for those who don't support their aims, namely the eradication of the State of Israel.
For those in Gaza who seek a better life, the only way to do so is for Hamas to be eliminated. In order to "Stand Up for Palestine,' demonstrators should be standing with Israel, not Hamas.
