Izzat al-Rishq’s remarks came shortly after the Israeli army announced that it had discovered the bodies of six hostages in Gaza, asserting that they had been killed by Hamas.
“The ones who kill our people daily are the Israeli colonizers with American weapons. The hostages found in Gaza were not killed by us but by the relentless Zionist bombardment,” Rishq said in a statement.
He further criticized the U.S., saying, “If President [Joe] Biden truly cares about the lives of Israeli hostages, he should cease his support for this enemy with money and weapons and pressure Israel to end its aggression immediately.”

How many more children have to die before you reconsider your support of Israel?

How many children have been taken hostage by the IDF from the West Bank without trial or judicial process, but instead by a military tribunal without a right to representation and the only testimony that matters is that of the soldiers that kidnapped them in the first place?
Is it in the thousands? I think it is.
They have children too.
Would you be okay with me moving into your garden and building a hut there and threatening you when you protest ? And when you silently let me live in your garden I bring all my family and friends and build more and start taking your rooms because you know, I need the place and some ancestor of mine told me God promised me your garden. Would you maybe wanna hit me if I don’t stop?
I wouldnt be ok. I would go to court and sue you. I wouldnt send suicide bombers to your child’s school for that. I wouldnt fire rockets to your entire neighborhood and I wouldnt take 5000 of my friends - invade your original home and kidnap 250 of your family memebers and put them in tunnels and say I would give you 25 of them back alive only if you stop searching for them.
The court doesn’t give a shit, though. Look at what’s happening with the international court.
Oh, and also, the police is supporting me with weapons to fuck you up if you try to chase me from your lawn.
Anyway whatever hammas did is not justified by the Israeli occupation/ illegal settlements / jewish terroristic settlers

At least you’re consistent with your opinions.
Oh I am sorry. I thought I was talking to someone sharing the consensus we formed as an international community after world war 2 to keep a status quo regarding borders (except for some peaceful special cases) represented by the UN and to stop all the useless expansionist fighting all through history.
This fighting you apparently approve and are completely fine with stronger countries just invading others for expansion of their territory. That is a very shitty world you want to live in.
Just some examples of what you are apparently super fine with:
Russia completely conquering Ukraine and that being accepted by everyone. China annexing Taiwan and while we are at it why not just most of SEA as well. The Republicans just fighting their way to control of the US if they happen to lose the election. I mean people fight and who wins is right, right?
In my example above I shouldn’t even bother slowly creeping onto your land but just fight you for it and if I win I got a free new home. Sounds like a utopia, doesn’t it?
Just for the record. I am not even primarily for a Palestinian state. But it is a way better alternative than to just kill an entire population because you can’t live in peace with them. And I am aware that it’s not just Jewish peoples fault that this apparently doesn’t work. But annihilation is never a solution.
When thousands of other kids were getting killed? When hostages are dying anyway, including by being shot at by the IDF while emerging unarmed, shirtless and waving a white flag? I sure as fuck would. In fact, I’d be telling the world that Israel was doing nothing but make my child’s life worth nothing.
Maybe ask israel to stop killing the hostages then.

Israel could stop bombing at any time.

This war has terrorists on both sides. The Gaza population are caught in the middle and it’s entirely unfair. In retaliation of an awful terrorist event, Israel have flattened an entire country.
In comparison Israel is state terrorism supported, armed and funded from West.
According to international law, Palestinians, including Hamas cannot be terrorists because they have an inherent human right to self -determination and resistance:
That inherent right does not extend to using any means to achieve it; just like a state’s right to self defence does not grant it the right to use any means to achieve it.
Correct

False, it’s considered a sovereign state (aka a country) by 75% of the UN members.

Palestine had a proper government, which split into effectively a civil war after an attempted coup, backed by the US. See Wikipedia:
“In an April 2008 article in Vanity Fair magazine, the journalist David Rose published confidential documents, apparently originating from the US State Department, which would prove that the United States collaborated with the PNA and Israel to attempt the violent overthrow of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, and that Hamas pre-empted the coup.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Gaza_(2007)#:~:text=In an April,empted the coup
The split happened after plans were drawn up to undemocratically remove Hamas from power.

Hamas prefers armed resistance, yes. Nonetheless, they were elected and in power in a democratic fashion (before it all went to shit).
Live is easy when it’s only black and white eh?
Are we at the point where we’re believing the word of random people from Hamas? Of course they blamed it on Israel. What kind of a new source repeats these claims without any factual checks?
You’re getting downvoted, but you’re right.
