How prevalent is it? I truly don't know. I totally understand the desire to divorce or separate Palestinians from Hamas when criticism of both or either come up, but I wonder if Palestinians, especially those engaged in this "march" are so quick or keen to separate themselves? I had read that the Great March of Return or maybe more accurately, the March to End Israel was largely financed and supported by Hamas, which makes total sense if you take into account Hamas's stated purpose. According to this very anti-Israel (so it should resonate with some) op ed, Hamas is actually just doing what Palestinians are demanding of them.
Israel’s propaganda and its mouthpieces overseas — such as the Board of Deputies of British Jews — are portraying these unarmed marchers as “puppets” or “pawns” of Hamas. This is a lie, and is intended to do nothing less than whitewash multiple acts of murder.
The irony of this lie is that the very opposite is true. The support that the Hamas political leadership in Gaza has afforded this popular protest march for basic human rights is, in fact, the result of popular pressure on the movement to act, not the other way around.The irony of this lie is that the very opposite is true.

(Really, read the whole thing. It's pretty illuminating.)
Is he right?
