What I find most inspiring about the Palestinian national liberation movement is that they fight for it across multiple generations despite the lack of success or hope. Just look at how Palestinians around the world galvanized for their cause since 10/7: first thousands of Hamas fighters went on a one-way suicide mission to fight their occupiers and then without much coordination, Palestinians around the world rose up in protest movements to support the fight back home. Most movements need a high degree of centralization in order to pull this off on such a vast scale, but here there is no such need because the Palestinian people unanimously support it intensely in their hearts.
“Without much coordination” but backed by a nation state? LOL
Unpopular opinion: Massacring civilians is bad.
Inspiring that the chant is to free Palestine and not to release hostages or stop raping Jews. Truly a masterstroke in brainwashing
The hostages will all be free once Israel releases the 8000+ Palestinians that it holds hostage. Palestinians are not raping Jews. Israel can solve this whole problem by simply allowing Palestinians the right to return to their homes (even without giving them the right to vote) from 1948. I mean if Jews get to reclaim their homes from 70AD then why can't Palestinians get their 1948 homes back?
Palestinian prisoner = arrested for trying to blow up a bus or stab someone in another country. Hostage = 10 month old baby. Seems fair enough of an exchange
"since 10/7: first thousands of Hamas fighters went on a one-way suicide mission to fight their occupiers" I'm appalled that one could glorify the massacre of civilian communities like that. They didn't fight their occupiers, they raped, murdered, filmed and released it on official channels. They set back the Palestinian cause by 20 years.
That's not glorification, it's just the facts. One can debate how effective their operation was. One can indeed criticize some of their actions (killing of foreigners and Israeli children was wrong for example), but it doesn't change what the operation overall was: an act of resisting occupation.
Murdering civilians is not "resistance". It is terrorism.
If you think that's inspiring you should see the history of the Jews. Hell, not even the Holocaust could stop us.
The Jews are indeed inspiring. I recognize Jewish resilience in the face of thousands of years of oppression and expulsion and genocide. But that does not blind me to Jewish crimes against Palestinians. What Zionist Jews did after the Holocaust is not inspiring because it shows that even the victims of genocide are not beneath committing one themselves.
Remind me again what the genocide rate is in Palestine. For reference the Holocaust had a genocide rate of 66%
Truly depressing to see OP’s take on 10/7. Shame people can be this completely brainwashed and wrong but it’s testament to the power of social media.
I think you find my take depressing because you don't want to recognize that the Israel Hamas fought against is an occupier of Palestine.
Ok Abdurr
what a f'd up post. against the occupiers? how about they terrorized civilians.
You find murdering innocent civilians inspiring? Nice.
Innocent civilians have died and suffered on both sides. Acting as if it’s just the Palestinian side that have their hands dirty is just plain ignorant.
In fact Israel has killed 100x civilians overall
