An analysis of battlefield videos released by Hamas and interviews with three Hamas members and scores of Israeli soldiers
Using civilian homes and infrastructure — including medical facilities, U.N. offices and mosques — to conceal fighters, tunnel entrances, booby-traps and ammunition stores;
Ambushing Israeli soldiers with small groups of fighters dressed as civilians, as well as using civilians, including children, to act as lookouts;
The video seems to show Hamas fighters, their faces blurred, sitting on patterned mats as they plan the attack. They use pen, paper and a digital tablet to draw simplistic maps detailing where they want to plant a set of roadside mines.
“We ask, O Lord, for the ambush to achieve its goals — let us kill your enemies, the Jews,” the narrator says.
The last 9 months have made it very clear that Hamas is a national liberation movement and Israel is a savage coloniser. As a result Zionist propaganda has gone into overdrive.
Just because Israel is committing horrific crimes in Gaza doesn’t mean that Hamas is good. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” is the a big part of the reason why the US is allied with Israel in the first place.
Hamas was bad for the people Gaza, which is exactly why Netanyahu enabled and supported them in the first place.

Obviously, Israel is far worse for the people of both Gaza and the West Bank, but Israel’s genocide and their apartheid does not make Hamas good and their idea of Palestinian liberation is a theocratic form of “liberation” that should not be supported.
Hamas is objectively the best out of all these parties. By a long shot. Hamas has tried a peaceful march in 2018. Israel is the party that only wants to speak violence.
Condemn resistance fighters against Genocide all you want, it’s just posturing.
Also I winder why why Palestinians don’t want to form a liberal democracy while being Genocided by a liberal democracy with full support of all other liberal democracies.
That’s a different issue entirely. I was responding to the person that claims they are a national liberation movement. They aren’t, because a theocracy is not liberation. Maybe they are Palestine’s only hope right now, but that doesn’t mean they are good, that means that no one who should be fighting for Palestine is doing so.
I assume no one here would be calling ISIS a national liberation movement if they were the only ones fighting Israel. At least I hope not.
Thats not entirely true. Hamas is a theocratic terrorist organization that kills civilians. They don’t care about the people of Gaza.
Israel is a theocratic terrorist organisation that mass murders civilians. They don’t care about the people of Gaza.
Fuck Israel, the terrorist genocide state.
I guess they have articles like this ready for release each time the IDF commits another atrocity.
So guerilla warfare, that’s the only option when facing a vastly superior force.
