The Palestinian resistance group Hamas marked 700 days of Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza on Friday, calling it a “stain on humanity” and urging the international community to take decisive action against the ongoing atrocities.
In a statement, Hamas highlighted its efforts to reach a ceasefire and a prisoner exchange agreement, stressing that it had “shown significant flexibility” in negotiations.
The movement blamed the repeated failure of mediators on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and called him “a war criminal committed to undermining diplomatic initiatives, pursuing indefinite plans of extermination and displacement, and placing the lives of captives at risk to serve his government’s agenda.”
Hamas renewed its call to the international community, including Arab and Islamic countries, the UN, and its organs, particularly the UN Security Council, to “fulfill their responsibilities toward the Palestinian people and intervene to halt the crimes of the fascist occupation government.”
The movement emphasized the need for “punitive measures against Israel,” warning that “mere condemnations are insufficient” and that, without substantial consequences, Israel would “continue its crimes without regard for international protests or positions.”
Hamas also praised global grassroots solidarity with the Palestinian people and welcomed the launch of the Global Sumud Flotilla, an initiative to break the blockade on Gaza.
Benjamin Netanyahu deserves to be flayed alive for his crimes against humanity.
So many innocent Palestinians and Isralis killed just to keep one man out of prison for corruption.
Every single israeli former prime that is still alive
100 years of genocidal terrorism, a stain on Palestine: also Hamas
Happy to see more people are mentioning Hamas as a resistance group! Hamas is NOT a terrorist organization. It’s an answer to 75 years of genocide and illegal occupation. 100% of the murders in Gaza are civilian.

There would’ve been no Hamas without the apartheid terrorist state.
Not to side with Hamas… But yeah, that’s a good way to put it. It is indeed a stain on humanity.
Pot meet kettle
Is it surprising that this source, which is likely financed by Qatar’s government, might be pro-Hamas? It’s a popular POV there
Popular POV for anyone who has Israel next to them it appears.
Source they are Qatar?
Edit thiis is the direct link to wikipedia’s 15th citation that dataproject provided
“Understood to support” source absolutely nothing.
Sources 14 and 15.
Holy NATOpedia that is straight written by the IDF
Lol, no it wasn’t. Why is this controversial or problematic for you at all? Hamas is supported by Qatar. The Middle East Monitor has always been more supportive of Hamas than many sources.
Im not saying that there’s anything wrong with Qatar supporting this perspective only that they have it.
The page has no valid sources. It is literally an IDF propaganda page.
Do you have any proof of that completely unsubstantial claim?

You are mistaken as to when the Palestinian war started in their eyes. The war started in when they/their families were forced from their homes with only what they could carry so that Jewish people could have Israel. It never stopped because from their POV Israel never stopped murdering them and stealing their land.
If you understand the above you should be able to grasp why they see Hamas as a resistance force. We now look at the French resistance to the German occupation as “the good guys” in that conflict. Had Germany won WWII we might look at the French resistance as “the bad guys”.
Your perspective on who is and isn’t right in this conflict isn’t as black and white as you are making it out to be.
Islamic militias have repeatedly removed/genocided Jewish people from that same disputed land for centuries. Arguably the land was stolen prior to and subsequently returned to Israeli people after WWII. What the people of Israel are doing to Palestinians now is egregious and tragic, but there has been a prolonged effort to rid the Middle East of other Religions/ethnicities by the majority Muslim population of the Middle East — Hamas is and has been founded on principles that support that effort. Otherwise they would have agreed to and abided by the treatises and two-state solutions proposals of the past.
Hamas is not a resistance force, they oppress and use the Palestinian people as it suits them in their pursuit of conquest. The people of Palestine suffer both at Hamas’s hands and the hands of Israel’s excessive and careless attempts at wiping out Hamas.
I encourage you to read about Hamas, even Wikipedia will do, and educate yourself about how they formed, who they split off from, and what their founding and current principles are.
I’m aware that the situation isn’t black and white, it’s certainly grey, and I have more than identified exactly how it is grey. I think once you educate yourself a bit more you will understand. Have a good one.
Name one single instance of ‘Islamic militias’ genociding Jews in Palesine.
Just because they haven’t ever been able to doesn’t mean they don’t WANT to. ;)
The most prominent example I can think of prior to the October 7th attack would have been the 1972 terrorist attack at the Munich Olympics:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_massacre
But the continual “you committed an atrocity so we’re going to do another” back and forth back and forth for 6,000 years is only going to ensure everyone there gets killed unless someone forces it to stop.
Palestine was occupied in 72. Yes , palestinians killing innocent israelis is wrong and should be condemned but we need to acknowledge the root of the problem otherwise you eon’t stop the violence
Name one single instance of ‘Islamic militias’ genociding Jews in Palesine.
Names targeted killing of Israelis outside o Palestine
I didn’t say back and forth. I said name one.
The only party continually massacaring Jews were Europeans. There wasn’t a genocide of Palestinian Jews in the Caliphate. In fact the Jews living in Palestine before colonialism detested their violent colonialist counterparts.
“Just because they haven’r been ABLE to doesn’t mean they don’t WANT to.”
The genocidal language thrown by both sides has been going on for thousands of years.
The thing is, you can’t engage in a genocide unless you’re in a position of power first and if you’re continually disenfranchised, you literally cannot engage in genocide.
The will is there, the ability is not.
The group who did it was not an islamic militia and example of act of vengence which is still a crime is not a proof of genocide
And posted here by a tankie from lemmy.ml lol.
And commented here by a hasbara Zionazi.
Israel and Qatar do not have formal diplomatic ties but have maintained discreet economic and political interactions for decades. Security cooperation began in the 1990s and has included intelligence-sharing between agencies.
Thanks for bringing that up. I did before and my comment got deleted.
“resistance group”
Freedom fighters.
