“We came and turned the native Arabs into tragic refugees. And still we have to slander and malign them, to besmirch their name. Instead of being deeply ashamed of what we did and trying to undo some of the evil we committed…we justify our terrible acts and even attempt to glorify them” Nathan Chofshi, Jewish Newsletter, New York, 9 February 1959, cited in Erskine Childers, ‘The Other Exodus’ in Spectator, London, 12 May 1961.
A correspondent sent a video criticising Hamas for not wearing army fatigues … the video claims HAMAS by not wearing army uniforms is not playing fair and thereby makes it necessary for Israel to kill so many civilians!?!#!
HAMAS biggest protection of civilians in Gaza is having Israeli captives.
HAMAS stands for Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiya (Islamic Resistance Movement). It is the main political party in Gaza.
Since when during al Nakba did the Israeli militia (Haganah, Irgun, the Stern gang) wear uniforms? Nor did Israeli settlers wear uniforms on 7 October when they shot at the Palestinian resistance.
The Palestinian resistance fighters challenge superior forces of the occupation by ‘all means necessary’.
This is called asymmetric warfare where one side (Israel) has F-35s, 10,000lb Bunker Buster bombs, Tanks, Cruise Missiles, every conceivable canon and automatic weapon and even nuclear weapons. The other side (Palestine) has home made rockets, rifles, cheap motor bikes, kites, parachutes and AK47s.
