I hope Israel publicly states: "The agreed upon time to release the next batch of hostages is in 4 hours. If by 8 hours there is no release, then we start attacking".

There are those in the Republic who directly or indirectly have long memories of the former relationship, a "brother-ship in arms" if I may, between the Sinn Fein/IRA and PL0/Hamas. The examples are endless.

In answer to questions as to whether ordinary Gazans actually support Hamas...

I expect the consequences facing Gazans who don't support Hamas would be fairly severe.

Like most totalitarian regimes, the basic philosophy of their expectations can be summed up as , " Love us ,serve us mind body and soul...or die . And maybe die anyway."

It's interesting to see that various Irish traditions, apart from the Happy Go Lucky versions, have been adopted by other cultures:
Extrajudicial Executions and Torture in Gaza
In its decade in power, Hamas operatives have routinely engaged in extrajudicial executions and torture as a means of punishment or intimidation. The majority of individuals executed by Hamas have been alleged collaborators with Israel or political opponents who have voiced opposition to Hamas’ rule. Many of these political opponents have in fact been executed under the guise of accusations of collaboration. Significant rises in Hamas’ summary executions can be seen during conflicts with Israel, but are not limited to these times.Simultaneously, Hamas embarked on a campaign to suppress political dissent. Many political opponents were branded as traitors, when in reality they simply identified with Hamas' rivals. In January 2009, Fatah officials reported that Hamas had executed at least 19 of its members and shot more than 60 in the legs. Shooting in the legs, or "kneecapping," is a signature punishment used by Hamas against political opponents.
Hamas continued to suppress dissent in the months following Operation Cast Lead. In one example from January 27, 2009, Hamas Internal Security Force members arrested Osama Atallah and tortured him until he was delivered to the hospital in critical condition, where he died of his wounds. Osama was an open supporter of Fatah, who sources claimed was killed "because of his public and continued criticism of the performance of the Hamas militias in Gaza." On January 24, 2009, Zahar Al-Za'anin died of torture wounds. He was accused of collaboration and did not stand trial, but this accusation was met with massive uproar by many who claimed he was innocent. On July 27, 2009, Munir Bargasoresh A'ah, a Palestinian in his 20's, was found dead with signs of torture on his body. A former high-ranking member of Hamas, he had been accused of collaboration but did not stand trial. Also in July 2009, Hamas executed six accused collaborators, including three brothers, without a trial.
