The Gaza Blogger Who Is Furious at the Arab World's Indifference
A Gaza resident's emotional video plea has gone viral on social media, offering a rare glimpse into Palestinian frustration not with Israel, but with Arab and Muslim leaders who they feel have abandoned them during two years of war.

A powerful and emotional video from a Gaza resident is going viral, revealing a significant shift in Palestinian frustration. Instead of directing his anger at Israel, the man is passionately condemning Arab and Muslim leaders for what he views as their abandonment of the Palestinian people during two years of war.
In the clip, an unidentified blogger addresses the leaders directly, asking, "I ask you in the name of Allah, do you have a heart? You don't know Allah or Islam. You have no connection to Islam, nor to humanity, nor to Arabism."
The resident’s fury appears to stem from a perceived inaction from neighboring Arab nations and the wider Muslim world. "We will not forgive you before our Lord," he says, adding, "You are not human, not Arabs, not Muslims."
This raw display of resentment signals a notable change in rhetoric. For decades, Palestinian anger has traditionally focused on Israeli policies and military actions. However, the video's viral spread suggests that a growing number of Palestinians feel betrayed by the very regional allies from whom they expected support and intervention.
The video’s timing is critical, as international attention has waned and as Israel prepares for "Operation Gideon Chariots B" in Gaza City.
