Iran says it has right to defend itself after Israeli strike kills soldiers
Israel's military says it completed "precise strikes on military targets", weeks after Iran's ballistic missile attack on Israel.
You're viewing part of a thread.
Destroying Israel refers to the end of the Settler Colonialist Regime, which includes the Apartheid and Occupations. And instead a Regime Change in Palestine that has equal rights for both Israelis and Palestinians. It does not refer to the ethnic cleansing of all Israelis, that kind of mentality of 'Transfer' is central to Zionism, not Anti-zionism.
Did you really just link a verse from the Quran and attribute that to the entirety of Hamas and Hezbollah simply because they are Muslim? That is an incredibly racist thing to do.
I'm going to be charitable and assume you mean to reference the 1988 Charter of Hamas, which while unreasonable for wanting Sharia Law and belief in the antisemitic conspiracy theory of the Elder Protocols of Zion, does not call for the extermination of all Jewish People.
Hamas wants an end to Israel as an Apartheid State, not an extermination of all Israelis. Under Ahmed Yassin in the 1990's, truces were offered in exchange for Israeli to withdrawal from Gaza and the West Bank to the 1967 borders. The 2017 Charter explicitly accepts a Two-State Solution of the 1967 Borders. Check Article 7 and 13 of the 1988 Charter to see yourself, compare it to Article 20 and 24-26 in the revised charter.
Any kind of conflation of Judaism and Zionism needs to be called out, regardless of who says it. That includes any members of Hamas, any other resistance group, or any Israelis who conflate them, intentional or not.
Trying to attribute a quote like that to an entire people, as an attempt to contextualize the Settler Colonialist violence of Israel towards Palestinians, is a terrible and disingenuous thing to do. It's attempting to imply that Palestinians are fighting back out of some inherent Antisemitism, which is completely untrue, instead of fighting back against ethnic cleansing for their livelyhood.
It's important to recognize where this conflation is coming from. Israel intentionally does this conflation to deflect any criticism as simply antisemitism, which comes at the expense of a rise of genuine antisemitism as they then point to the actions of Israel as representing all Jewish people. Which is obviously untrue. When the IDF destroys your house and kills your family, and then says it's in the name of all Jewish people, it becomes harder for those people to got their house destroyed to make that distinction between Judaism and Zionism. So it is equally important to condemn the conflation and understand the context behind it.
Yes, I attributed that verse to Hamas, because Hamas believed in it when they put it in their charter. Evidently, they still hate Jews enough to kill their civilians throughout that time period. Regardless of their reforms, October 7th still happened, as have numerous other killings of Israeli civilians. That's pretty clear evidence Hamas militants still hold the belief. Do all Muslims believe Jews should be killed this way? No, and I doubt even a majority of them want that. But Hamas encoded it into their charter. That's indisputable history.
Not only does it explicitly reference that the issue is Zionism in the 1988 charter,
The Islamic Resistance Movement is one of the links in the chain of the struggle against the Zionist invaders. It goes back to 1939, to the emergence of the martyr Izz al-Din al Kissam and his brethren the fighters, members of Moslem Brotherhood. It goes on to reach out and become one with another chain that includes the struggle of the Palestinians and Moslem Brotherhood in the 1948 war and the Jihad operations of the Moslem Brotherhood in 1968 and after.
You're made-up idea that it's about Jews and not Zionism also goes against the actions and remarks of the founder of Hamas, as well as the clarification in the 2017 charter.
Hamas only exists because of the Apartheid Occupation of Israel and the daily violence that has subjected Palestinians to for generations. Israel has always been the obstacle for peace and targeted civilians.

They're the ones that included a quote encouraging the killing of Jews - not Zionists - in the original charter. They're also the ones who went on to commit, among numerous other attacks, October 7th. Do you not see the connection here? If there were any reforms, they've obviously failed.
De-development via the Gaza Occupation
Even today, Hamas is misusing humanitarian aid, and they've been known to do this for years.
Peace Process and Solution
At least two analyses have concluded that Hamas only wants ceasefires as a means to destroying Israel in the long term. An organization that genuinely wants a two-state solution doesn't provoke its neighbors by killing over a thousand people and taking over 200 hostages.
