Hamas is the main armed resistance to genocide. The reason the genocide started in the first place is because “Israel” is a settler-colony that needs more land and settlers to continue existing.
This is interesting. Can you point me to some resources on this?
Quote from the prole wiki, it does seam like this attack sparked the war. Had hamas not existed there would be no war.
Sure, had resistance factions not existed it would have just been an unopposed slaughter instead of a war.
It would have been much more difficult for the US and Israel to manufacture public consent without a reason like hummas. And a decent portion of public consent is very important.
Israel and the usa do not give a damn about manufacturing consent, it is just a plus rather than a necessity . A war on iran was always unpopular yet still did it. Israel is a settler colonial power they would still genocide palestinians
I’ve since changed my opinion about this (it’s been 9 months) I agree with you.
I didn’t realize it was 8 month old.Sorry about that
Yeah don’t worry, if it wasn’t an actual resistance they could point to to justify their genocide they would have found or invented another reason, like saddam’s totally real WMD.
This strikes me as similar to the “don’t fight back against ICE violence because they want you to be violent to justify what they’re already doing” line of thinking. They have all the power in the world to invent a justification, they don’t need one from you.
Al-Aqsa Flood was a response to ongoing genocide and settler-colonialism by the Zionists, the genocide stretches far before then.
