Why are the people calling for a ceasefire always calling on only Israel to cease? Hamas has continued fighting, killing, and bombing Israel as well. They are the ones who ended the ceasefire by refusing to continue releasing hostages (including babies) and launching multiple attacks.
Everyone wants this war to end. Hamas could surrender and release the hostages and there’d be peace tomorrow. Instead Hamas has determined to fight to the last one remains alive.
I get that they view Israel as “theirs” (from the river to the sea means all of Israel and Palestine). But do they really think Israel will just be gone one day?
Israel doesn’t have to be gone in order for Palestinians to be free. People are protesting because this isn’t a war, this is resistance fighters standing up against an occupation and apartheid system. A free Palestine does not mean Israel and Zionists wiped off the map. It means Palestinians living with dignity, human rights, and self determination; things they are not given now, and have not been given for 75 years.
Yes, there are those in the fringe that believe Israel needs to be wiped off the map. Any political situation will breed extremists. But in order for peace to be achieved, first and foremost is the dismantling of Israel’s APARTHEID SYSTEM.
this is why we rally. Our governments must understand that we are tasking them with putting pressure on Israel to change its ways. This is how apartheid fell in South Africa.
Free Palestine.
Salam and shalom to all citizens of Palestine.
Edit: forgot to add: those extremists do not represent the movement as a whole
Hamas begs to differ lmao.
