The point still stands, there have been no major demonstrations or particular unrest at all in Gaza, the whole of the middle East, Iran especially, has been riven by unrest, Gaza wasn't then nor has been since, you can argue Hamas isn't a democratic representative of the population but they aren't a hated repressive occupier either, they are pretty representative of Gazans, the average Gazan is about 1/3rd better off than an Egyptian or Jordanian, massively better off than a Syrian or Lebanese, if you live in Gaza you doing ok compared to most in the region and you have about as much freedom
