Yes it’s true the Palestinian people have been horribly abused after the war began Oct 7th 2023 when Hamas invaded southern Israel that was funded by Iran. The abuse was partly because of the military tactics by Hamas, elected by the Palestinians to office in 2007 by defeating the PA the Palestinian Authority and took power in Gaza.
When Hamas went to war against Israel on Oct 7th 2023 they used a defensive military strategy where the Hamas army hides their war machines, stores their arms, ammunition and builds their offices below ground under schools, hospitals, playgrounds and other civilian locations knowing that Israel soldiers are ordered to minimize civilian casualties and collateral damage.
Another abusive tactic by the government of Hamas is when convoys of medicine, food and water enter Gaza, Hamas hijacks the convoys and takes what it wants keeps some and sells the rest for arms. Often if a civilian does not cooperate with a Hamas command they are shot wherever the disagreement occurs even in the middle of a busy street.
Hamas does not value life like we do or Israel does. They believe if you kill a Jew you are a martyr, held up as a national hero, your family will receive a pension and you will be greeted in heaven by 72 virgins.
The IDF is trained that if a Hamas soldier is hiding behind a civilian and firing at you with their weapons they are ordered to fire back in self defense. That is one of the tactics Hamas uses to protect themselves by hiding behind civilians as a shield and also storing their war tools and munitions under civilian facilities such as a hospital, playground, school or any neutral property that should not be a military target.
Hamas does not value Palestinians civilian’s lives like the IDF who are trained to protect all civilians if possible. But when push comes to shove and a Hamas militant is hiding behind a civilian and shooting to kill you the IDF soldier’s lives always come first.
The IDF doesn’t deliberately kill civilians. When they are about to bomb a Hamas target they send out flyers and leaflets by airplane over Gaza, send texts, emails and yes make thousands of phone calls always to warn civilians that their area is a target and to leave. They even tell them where there is a safe area to go to. On Oct 7th 2026 Hamas did not warn Israeli civilians to take cover. They intentionally targeted infants, children woman, pregnant woman, the elderly in wheel chairs who were immobile and viciously and sadistically cut them up, tortured them and slowly killed them. And they were so proud they videotaped their sadism to show their families and the world.
When Israel, The Red Cross, the United Nations and foreign countries send tons of goods in hundreds of truck loads of medicine, food, water and supplies for the people of Gaza, Hamas hijacks the convoy and takes what it wants to resell to pay for guns and ammo and profiteer. The remainder is not well organized and not distributed equally and many don’t get their fail share. Hamas is supposed to be the government to protect and create some semblance of order when it comes to food and medicine distribution but they don’t and its every man and woman for themselves.
Hamas does not give Israelis warnings to leave when they are about to attack. As a matter of fact they want them to stay and kill them.”From the river to the sea”. Death to the little Satan and the big Satan has been chanted for 47 years.
The United Nations gave land to Israel and the Palestinians in 1948 but the Palestinians rejected it while the Jews embraced it and today are thriving while the Palestinians decided under the PLO, Hamas and with the support of Iran to reject the offer and take back everything including the partition for Israel for themselves .That was 78 years ago and they have not gained anything but lost everything. And behind every terrorist attack is Iran financing the terror groups.
When Hamas invaded the southern border of Israel on Oct 7, 2023 they did not target military sites. They invaded Israeli villages, the homes of Jewish civilians. Hamas did not warn the Jewish civilians that they should leave. They wanted to kill civilians because it was easy and sent a message to Jews to get out for good.
Thousands of Hamas un-uniformed armed militants invaded civilian villages, gouged out the eyes of infants, decapitated them, cut off their body parts in front of their parents, put them in ovens, cut open pregnant woman, raped them, and murdered the elderly in a sadistic manor and its all on video.
Hamas was so proud of their brutality that they videotaped it. And in addition Hamas with Iran funding some of which came from the Obama Administration and the additional funding by the elimination of sanctions by the Biden administration invaded a Israeli concert attended by young Israeli mend woman and families and murdered Jews , people out to listen to music and enjoy the day.
Hamas targets civilians because there is little or no resistance. Oct 78th 2023 the worst crime against Jews since the Holocaust. There is no equivalency between Hamas and the IDF. If you had lost family or friends in the holocaust including infants, babies, teenagers, young men and woman, only because they were Jewish, this brought back horrible memories and perhaps brought out the worst in Jews for revenge who always said “Never Again”. And so began the retaliation and retribution to keep Israelis, including Muslims, Arabs, Christian also live in Israel free from invasion and elimination.
Who Came First to the Promised Land, the Jews or the Palestinians?
AI Overview
The name and historical identity of Israel are significantly older than those of Palestine, though their modern sovereign definitions have different timelines.
The concept and name of Israel date back over 3,000 years to the ancient kingdoms of Israel and Judah in the ancient Levant.
The name Palestine originated much later. In the 2nd century CE (around 135 CE), the Roman Empire defeated the Jews in the Bar Kokhba revolt. To punish the rebelling Jews and sever their historical ties to the land, the Romans renamed the region of Judea to “Syria Palaestina” (derived from the Philistines), which later evolved into “Palestine”.
Regarding modern states: The State of Israel was re-established in its modern form in 1948. The State of Palestine was declared in 1988 and is recognized by a majority of United Nations member states, though its borders and full sovereignty remain heavily contested.
