Israel is the only terrorist, nobody else is.
I just need to get my thoughts organized because, honestly, it’s infuriating to see how things have unfolded. Let’s break this down so we see the bigger picture.
Two Different Roads Ahead
On one hand, you’ve got the peaceful path. Remember the Oslo Accords in 1993? When Yasser Arafat and the PLO basically threw in the towel and decided to negotiate with Israel. And what did the Palestinians get out of it? A sovereign state? Nope. Dignity for the people in the West Bank and the territories occupied since 1967? Again, no.
Instead, Arafat and the PLO got humiliation. Palestinians in the West Bank are living under occupation, with hundreds of checkpoints slicing through the land. The Palestinian Authority, set up after the humiliating Oslo accords, is now merely this powerless, complicit entity that does Israel’s dirty work, even killing its own people to protect settlers. That’s not sovereignty, that’s submission.
And speaking of the settlements. Before the “peace” process in 1993, there were approximately 130 settlements. Now? Over 444. The settler population exploded from 238,000 in 1993 to nearly a million. So, while Arafat tried the diplomatic route, Israel just kept taking more lands and building more settlements. That’s what the so-called peaceful solution gave the Palestinians, submission, land theft, and no dignity, just colonial occupation.
Enter Hamas and Armed Resistance
Now let’s talk about the other path: Hamas. Back in 1987, Hamas wasn’t even a military group. They were more of a social movement in Gaza, providing services and education to the Palestinians. But after years of terrorism against them, like the Ibrahimi Mosque massacre in 1994 when Benjamin Carl Goldstein killed 29 Palestinians praying in a mosque, and even in their funerals more Palestinians got killed on the hands of the Israeli forces -the moral army jokingly- things changed.
Hamas eventually shifted to armed resistance.
If Israel had actually given the Palestinians a real sovereign state instead of the humiliating Oslo Accords, Hamas wouldn’t even be a thing. If the Israelis didn't start terrorism, segregation and land theft. Hamas wouldn't even be there as a military group.
Why would people dig tunnels and resist if their dignity, honor, and rights were being respected? But no, the Israeli side doesn’t want peace, -they propagandize that they offered it but the Palestinians refused while it as mere nominal solution with no real sovereign state- they don’t even want to recognize Palestinians as human beings with a right to exist in their own land
To the point Yitzhak Rabin, the Israeli Prime Minister, was assassinated on November 4, 1995, by Yigal Amir, a Zionist extremist. The extremists opposed Rabin's peace initiatives which is even not providing a real sovereign state to the Palestinians but merely the idea of providing territorial concessions to the Palestinians and recognizing them got him murdered.
Israel Only Responds to Force
Look at the pattern. Israel doesn’t back down and give you your lands back until they’re forced to. They withdrew from Sinai after the Egyptians fought them. They occupied southern Lebanon for 18 years, and it wasn’t until Hezbollah kicked them out that they left. Negotiations didn’t work; armed resistance did.
The same thing happened in Gaza. Israel withdrew in 2005, not because of some peaceful agreement, but because Hamas made the cost of occupation too high. Israel left Gaza after years of armed resistance, not because they suddenly decided to respect Palestinian rights.
This is the only language Israel understands unfortunately. They don’t care about diplomacy or negotiations. They’ll only give you something when you force their hand. And if you don’t resist? You get the West Bank treatment. a land cut up by settlements, checkpoints everywhere, and a bunch of settlers armed to the teeth, ready to steal your home to expand their backyard!
The Hypocrisy is Mind-Blowing
Here’s what really gets me: When Palestinians resist this theft, it’s called "terrorism". But when a settler flies in from New York or Brooklyn to take over Palestinian land (as the so-called right of return) that’s just FINE. They’re seen as innocent civilians, even though they’re actively expanding illegal settlements. How does that make sense?
Steal some land and place civilians there and when the indigenous fight to get their land back they're labeled terrorists who target civilians!
I wonder if that's not the definition of using civilians as human shields what is this??
Palestinians in Gaza are besieged for +17 years, with Israel literally controlling how many calories of food can enter. But sure, let’s label them terrorists when they resist being imprisoned in a concentration camp. What’s more dehumanizing than that?
Alleged rape cases are retracted but brainless zionists keep saying it to defame the resistance and portray them as destroyers and further referring to them as "human animals" to more justify their genocide and create a justification for killing children and more indigenous Palestinians.
Hundreds of Palestinians rot in Israeli prisons, labeled as terrorists, while settlers who steal land and kill the Palestinian people are treated as "very innocent civilians". It’s absolutely insane how the Israeli mind thinks of the Palestinians as dulls or stuffies that will be oppressed and make no noise, and be well-behaved good little boys and die in silence!
Peaceful Solutions Don’t Work that's what Israel Has Shown Through The 75 Years Of Its Existence
In the end, the so-called peaceful solution has only brought more settlements, more occupation, and less dignity for Palestinians. The Israelis act like they can lock up 2.3 million people in Gaza, cut them off from the world, and expect them to stay quiet, how do they fathom such an idea?
If history tells us anything, it’s that Israel only withdraws when it’s hit where it hurts. If you don’t resist, you get more occupation, more checkpoints, more settlers. That’s just the reality. Denounce terrorism all you want, but peaceful solutions have failed the Palestinian people.
This cycle of violence will keep going as long as Israel’s mentality can't fathom anything but oppression and bombing and segregation and dehumanization and think they can get away with anything.
And it’s on the oppressor, not the oppressed, to stop it, killing Ahmed Yassin in 2004 didn't end up the armed Resistance but it strengthed it and it will never end ..
