Al Qaeda in Iraq tortured and killed any Sunni suspected of cooperating with the new Iraqi government or coalition forces. That didn’t stop the Sunnis from turning on AQI and ending the Sunni-Shia civil war there that raged from ‘06-‘08 though. Palestinian men face that same choice: turn on Hamas—regardless of the risk factor, or condemn your children and grandchildren to more years of the violence cycle.
There was originally resistance but Hamas killed anyone who opposed them; Hamas threw people off the roof of buildings.
