The Palestinian resistance group Hamas marked 700 days of Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza on Friday, calling it a “stain on humanity” and urging the international community to take decisive action against the ongoing atrocities.

In a statement, Hamas highlighted its efforts to reach a ceasefire and a prisoner exchange agreement, stressing that it had “shown significant flexibility” in negotiations.

The movement blamed the repeated failure of mediators on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and called him “a war criminal committed to undermining diplomatic initiatives, pursuing indefinite plans of extermination and displacement, and placing the lives of captives at risk to serve his government’s agenda.”

Hamas renewed its call to the international community, including Arab and Islamic countries, the UN, and its organs, particularly the UN Security Council, to “fulfill their responsibilities toward the Palestinian people and intervene to halt the crimes of the fascist occupation government.”

The movement emphasized the need for “punitive measures against Israel,” warning that “mere condemnations are insufficient” and that, without substantial consequences, Israel would “continue its crimes without regard for international protests or positions.”

Hamas also praised global grassroots solidarity with the Palestinian people and welcomed the launch of the Global Sumud Flotilla, an initiative to break the blockade on Gaza.

    You didn’t answer a single question i asked in my last response. And from river to the sea palestinians means different thing from different person. The original use was by plo to refer to a one state and many other anti occupation believe the same. Just because some people hijacked the term doesn’t mean we can’t use it. Similar how conservstive hijacked the term woke from black people. You can disagree with the formulation i have no problem with that but please don’t use it to talk about how all antioccupation people want to destroy israel. It is factually false

    Israel isn’t going to stop it, they don’t want to stop it. They want full occupation. Palestine physically can’t stop it.

    Maybe yes maybe not. Other people when was occupied may have thought the same like indian. Indian still got their freedom after 200 years. The longest occupation i believe was 700 years.

    You can’t expect palestinians to do nothing , at some point people are not in mental state to think rationally and to not take revenge legimate or not. That is not an justification but an acknowledge of the context and the issue to try to solve it.

    If you lived in a word where someone can kill your family and your neighborhood and oppress other people you know and the police and the government know about it and let it happen . Not that only but they are protecting the killer. Trust me you would take vengence and cause a massacre

      You misunderstand, I’m not here to answer your questions and have no obligation to answer them.

      I’m explaining to you the situation on the ground over there with all the links necessary to understand it.

      It’s not that the Palestinians need to do more or have been doing the wrong things, it’s that after being blockaded by Israel since the 90s they are physically incapable of doing anything effective. They don’t have the resources.

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockade_of_the_Gaza_Strip

      They can’t do it themselves, Israel won’t allow anything else, it’s going to require an external 3rd party to stop it and the world powers don’t have the will to do it.

      So what we’re going to see is the inevitable back and forth until one side or the other are annihilated. There is no “winning” here.

        Jordan you can’t start of answering in place of a terrible user then use that as an excuse when called out.

        You started this entire thing with something unrelated and now don’t want to continue after showing how wrong you are? You don’t get to keep doing this every fucking time

        Just because they haven’t ever been able to doesn’t mean they don’t WANT to. ;)

        The most prominent example I can think of prior to the October 7th attack would have been the 1972 terrorist attack at the Munich Olympics:

        https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_massacre

        But the continual “you committed an atrocity so we’re going to do another” back and forth back and forth for 6,000 years is only going to ensure everyone there gets killed unless someone forces it to stop.

          I’m not wrong. Both the Palestinians and the Israelis want to wipe the other out. Stated and quoted multiple times. “From the river to the sea.” Both peoples are attempting to claim one land and that gets you generations of bloodshed.

          The only real difference is the Israelis have the capacity to do it and the Palestinians do not. You aren’t going to take over Israel throwing rocks and shooting what may as well be bottle rockets.

          The only solution is for a 3rd party to separate them and make them behave, which nobody has the will to do, certainly not the US which is in the tank for Israel. Definitely not the U.N. which is blocked from acting by the U.S. Europe can’t be bothered.

          Absent that this will all just continue until one of them is killed to the last man. At this point, that’s looking like the Palestinians.

        You misunderstand, I’m not here to answer your questions and have no obligation to answer them. You don’t answer my question because you don’t have any answers. You can’t say a single valid counter argument to prove that there is zero way for Palestinians to stop hating Israeli and claiming that ever if Israel end occupation they would still try to destroy israel. It is factually wrong

        It’s not that the Palestinians need to do more or have been doing the wrong things, it’s that after being blockaded by Israel since the 90s they are physically incapable of doing anything effective. They don’t have the resources.

        Whatever their a chance it happen or not is not the point. No matter how impossible something is people should do the right thing and not dropping arms

        So what we’re going to see is the inevitable back and forth until one side or the other are annihilated. There is no “winning” here.

        How Israel succeeded in their plan means that no one is winning? t It would mean the genocidal state won with the complicity of the major western countries and the Arab leaders traitors . You are even contracting yourself in the same post. You say that Palestinians can’t do nothing about Israel finishing it’s final solution and at the same time claim that Palestinians can destroy Israel

        Instead of both siding the conflict and dropping your arms . You should acknowledge the core issue , you should support never giving up. You should support any action trying to change the situation no matter how futile it is.

        You clearly lack critical thinking and is too naive . This is my last reply to this useless conversation where you ignore every single argument
