Hamas has called on Palestinians to stay in their homes after Israel issued sweeping evacuation orders for almost half of Gaza’s more than 2.3 million people ahead of an expected ground offensive.

The Hamas authority for refugee affairs today told residents in the north of the territory to “remain steadfast in your homes and to stand firm in the face of this disgusting psychological war waged by the occupation”.

    I know we’re all fighting but I think this guy has a point.

    I’m pretty sure Israel and Palestine were closer to peace in 94 than they ever have been but then Zionists assassinated Rabin.

    After that Actually kinda the whole time the US and UK refused to work with Hamas and in 97 they declared Hamas a terrorist organization.

      I mean Hamas clearly is a terrorist organization. How many raped corpses do they have to drag through the streets to prove it?

        With the way people are salivating about Hamas slaughtering Jews, about 6 million I’d guess.

        I feel bad for the Palestinians and the Israelis that have gotten sandwiched between two extremes. I wish I could do something for them but quite honestly, I doubt anything I could do would help.

        Motherfucker, look at the maps. Hamas is the resistance. Israel is the attacking force that just said “this is my land now and if you don’t like it I’m bombing you”. You think that’s right?

        What would you do if someone entered your home, raped and killed your family, claimed it’s their home now and then shot you when you tried to stop them? Would you still talk some shit about how trying to take your home back is terrorism?

        Sheltered fuck.

          Look at the map yourself you ignorant prick. Gaza has the 1967 borders. All of Palestine could have the 1967 borders; but Hamas has decided they’re going to be absolutely horrible essentially all of the time.

          “Resistance” isn’t a justification for war crimes.
