No reader on these pages will condemn them either. These readers know that this Israeli purge on the now stolen land of Palestine has been going on since the end of World War II. That's a long time ago.
The Judeo-Nazis have now taken to calling this a “war”, conveniently calling the Hamas Palestinian protection soldiers “terrorists”, all with the help of the corrupted Western media. They are not fighting Hamas but every Palestinian, man, woman and child. But Hamas is represented by the Western media as Israel's challenger in this “war”.
Challenger for what?
Their own land and a peaceful existence? They used to have such a thing but not since the first Jews were given occupancy after WWII by Balfour and his band of Jewish friends operating out of the UK at that time, then recognised as the world's #1 Empire, a role now taken over in no uncertain way by the USA as Israel applies pressure to America's once decent administrators to make them obey the new rules. And how. 'Yes sir, Mr. Netanyahu. Just whistle and we'll keep supporting you in all your crimes’ ...said Biden and now Trump and all the MAGA apprentices..
This could be called a war if Hamas was armed with fighter and bomber planes, attacking night and day; it they had an equal number of tanks; missile systems; hundreds of snipers killing Israeli children; if every hospital was a target, every school bombed to rubble and thousands of military personnel (mercenaries) called a "Defence Force" on duty seven days a week with the sole task of killing a whole race of people who are legally occupying their own land and who, thanks to a dismally failed United Nations, have no protection at all from an evil marauder engaged in ethic cleansing.
Of course supported day and night by this new Empire called the USA, a country with 750 military operations throughout the world, with a government bribed and corrupted by their Zionists citizens who represent themselves as loyal Americans while they twist and turn to control the very country that gave them occupancy after WWII. These are the same people who today form such a large part of the IDF forces as paid killers, mercenaries by the thousands, all able to return home to America after their rape and sniping duties are done, welcomed by their own families, the ADL and the management of AIPAC and 86% of elected politicians………...in the so-called United States of America.
Come on once again, MAGA Yankees, Trump’s little apprentices. Netanyahu needs 60,000 more killers to finish the job. Good money, too. Your government says it's OK.
The rest of the world however, knows it is a disgraceful crime, overshadowing any other crime in living history.
Chris Hedges said right after October 7th “Hamas spoke to Israel in a language it understood — violence.”
No one will ever be able to convince me that a man shooting a child in the head is not personally responsible for murder. The first hysterical lie that went out was the one about Hamas beheading 40 babies which tells me they understand the horror of killing children. I understand propaganda and indoctrination from an early age has a profound effect but, ultimately, it’s no excuse.
I support Hamas. I support Yemen. I support Palestine Action. I support burning the American and Israeli flag at the same time. I support pitchforks . I support "This Is Not A Drill". Free Gaza
No matter what the Palestinians do or don't do, Israel has plans to exterminate them. No matter who the authorities are, Israel wants the land. Anything Israel says is a lie and will not change its chosen course of action. Resistance is the only path. It is an innate human right to defend in the face of violent and deadly oppression.
"it’s about the system. The unjust system upon which the Zionist state is based" And when that system is combined with the system of capitalism we have a super toxic mix. People who are brainwashed from birth with Zionist ideology to believe they are supreme beings and people who are also taught that having money is being successful. Those two systems seem to be feeding each other and growing right now. Maybe they will bloat each other up until they both explode.

Thank you for that Susan T. More people need to make the connection that it is the SYSTEM OF CAPITALISM that creates many of the incentives and behaviors (including settler-colonialism and imperialism in Palestine) that is responsible for much of this! Religion, etc. are convenient narratives that are hijacked to provide cover for the many evils of Capitalism.
One simple example: how is it that NONE of these arms-exporting countries ever talk about the BILLIONS they make in weapons sales?
Most of the time, Israeli policy was to treat the Palestinian Authority as a burden and Hamas as an asset. Far-right MK Bezalel Smotrich, now the finance minister in the hardline government and leader of the Religious Zionism party, said so himself in 2015.
According to various reports, Netanyahu made a similar point at a Likud faction meeting in early 2019, when he was quoted as saying that those who oppose a Palestinian state should support the transfer of funds to Gaza, because maintaining the separation between the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza would prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Any sane human being with even a tiny shred of dignity, if treated in the way that the Palestinians have been treated by israhell for the past 80 years would react in the exact same way as Hamas has. Hamas are real men fighting for their rights and their families. If our government ever treats us in that manner we will all be Hamas.
"...It’s not about the individuals, it’s about the system. The unjust system upon which the Zionist state is based has proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that it can never exist without nonstop violence and abuse, so that system needs to be dismantled and replaced with something radically different..."
And the unjust system is worldwide. It thrives on violence and endless war, profits over people. It's time to dismantle capitalism and replace it with a people-first system, or else we'll see more genocides and man-made famines.
Having grown up in apartheid South Africa as a privileged white person, I wholeheartedly agree with your analysis Caitlin. Your article also nails on the head why the same woman appears with her 'Hamas are terrorists' sign at every free Palestine rally in Auckland, while telling me she understands 'Israel have also done bad things, but Hamas kills civilians'. Weirdly she is not religious at all, but seems to have supped at the Hasbara table and drunk the Zionist coolaid.
Citing Hamas is justifying the eradication of an entire population is a matter of ignorance. Netanyahu gave a wink and a nod and hands off to the preparation Hamas receiving suitcases full of cash from Qatar. The preparation of tunnels and heavy equipment was noticed more than a year before the attack and reported by Israeli soldiers. Their reports were intentionally ignored. On the well-known date all the security was removed from Gaza so that they entered Israel without resistance. None of this was accidental. It was orchestrated to demonstrate to the world that Israel lives in a threatening environment which justifies their “right to defend themselves.“ The truth is from before 1948. Israel has created all of its enemies. None of them had problems with the endemic Mizrahi Jews for generations until the fascist motivated and declared Ashkenazi terrorist arrived to steal plunder and eradicate the Arab population which included the native Arab Jews. That is the truth and admitted by Israeli officers.
Yes, for 25 years I have argued that the most logical solution to the Jewish-Palestinian question is a single binational state with equal rights and duties for all its citizens. And, in truth, by the end of 2002, this idea had been embraced by all Palestinian political and religious authorities. But a phone call from abroad blocked this solution. Because there were those with other interests. It's a story that repeated itself with Ukraine, when in Istanbul, in April 2022, an agreement had already been signed, but a British politician went to Kiev and convinced Zelensky to blow it up. And so, weapons of all kinds have been sold and are being sold, both military and civilian casualties are inflicted, structures are destroyed with three objectives: profit from the military industry, profit from reconstruction, and keep the world in fear as the main instrument of domination. The only way to reverse this situation is to open the eyes of the populations involved. After all, if it is true that a lie repeated a thousand times can be considered a truth, a truth repeated a thousand times can conquer that lie.
"Since when does a militarily occupied people have the responsibility for a peace movement?"

Palestinians tried nonviolent protests and got slaughtered anyway! Hamas has every right to resist occupation. I will never, ever condemn them.
Occupied Teens throw rocks and get sniped in the head.

I hope some outside forces will step in and stop Israel soon. This just can't continue.
And, I agree, empathy is needed more than ever right now.

Do I condemn Hamas? Absolutely not. If I had been born in Palestine after 1948, I would be exactly where I am today — supporting the resistance.

One State Palestine.
When you (insert Israel) treat people like shit, expect (insert Hamas and Hezbollah) shit to get thrown back at you.
I hope Iran throwing shit at the Terrorists does not harm Palestinians and that peaceful Israeli's deport themselves from Palestine for safety..
