Hamad said that Palestinians are the victims of the occupation, therefore no one should blame them for the events of October 7 or anything else, adding: “Everything we do is justified.”

    While Israel is oppressing Palestinians, there will always be someone like Hamas.

      And if Hamas thinks that Israel does not have a right to exists and they have the right to kill everyone there, the occupation wasn’t necessary. It’s a vicious circle. Hamas is not in position to present themselves as victims. Their agenda is unconditional and the occupation is not the reason they kill people. They simply lie.

        The occupation is the reason they got volunteers and supporters in the first place. What are they gonna do without those who volunteer to fight for them, and the support that they got to take control of the region?

        The occupation gave them everything they needed, and even made them the people’s last hope. Cannot get any more generous than that.

        Do you understand what it means when the British empire declares a land as terra nullius? The British showed up, shot anyone who resisted, and made a fiat declaration that the state of Israel now exists. And they only did it 100 years ago. The reason the Palestinians don’t think Israel has a right to exist is because the entire basis of its existence is violent colonization by Britain.

          It was the UN that decided there should be a jewish state in Palestine. The British even abstained from the vote.

            So why did all the israeli citizens suddenly appear in this area when the UN declared it a country? And why was there a kingdom since 900 BC?

          And we all keep our own little eco chambers. You are not interessted in solving the problem but “virtue” signalling.
