Those who have left include Khaled Jibril, son of Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command (PFLP-GC) founder Ahmad Jibril, as well as Palestinian Popular Struggle Front secretary-general Khaled Abdel Majid and Fatah al-Intifada secretary-general Ziad al-Saghir.
Washington, which considers several Palestinian factions to be “terrorist” organisations, last week announced it was lifting sanctions on Syria after earlier saying Damascus needed to respond to demands including suppressing “terrorism” and preventing “Iran and its proxies from exploiting Syrian territory”.
The factions “did not receive any official request from the authorities to leave Syrian territory” but instead faced restrictions and property confiscations, the first Palestinian factional leader said, noting that some factions “were de facto prohibited from operating” or their members were arrested.
The new authorities have seized property from “private homes, offices, vehicles and military training camps in the Damascus countryside and other provinces”, he said.
Armed resistance is what’s preventing there from being a Palestinian state. If it weren’t for Arafat and then Hamas wanting to continue armed resistance for their own profit there would’ve been a Palestinian state decades ago.
There is no Palestinian state because Israel is an occupying force that is funded by the ideally that it has the right to the whole land. Get the facts straight .
Nobody forced Zionists to come to a land surrounded by people supposedly have an eternal hate to them . Nobody forced Israel to occupy Gaza and the west bank during 76
The first intifada started peacefully until Israelis terrorists suppress the uprising, including live ammunition, rubber bullets, tear gas, beatings, and mass arrests.
The Palestinians authority is in control of the west bank collaborating with Israel, never attacked Israelis since the Oslo accord how Israel is responding it responded by arming illegal settlers and defending their terrorism.
You are just doing colonization apologia
There were negotiations in the 90s that would lead to a Palestinian state. Arafat was a corrupt asshole so that didn’t work out. Then Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza. Palestinians voted for Hamas taking that as a sign of weakness. Hamas has held onto power ever since, refusing to have elections.
You should get your facts straight, there have been multiple opportunities for a Palestinian state, but Palestinians chose violence instead. They want all the lands “from the river to the sea” not just Gaza and the West Bank. What you’re calling a genocide is actually what a war looks like when one side is militarily superior to it’s enemy. And what other genocide in history has there been where the victims were holding hostages?
Palestinians don’t have the capability to defeat Israel through arms, and Hamas is only getting people killed needlessly. Their goal isn’t anything that benefits Palestinians, it’s to create a scenario that allows them to produce propaganda which they can profit from.
A non-violent resistance movement would be successful. Countries around the world would support that. What Hamas did by taking hostages makes world leaders ask themselves what they would do if a terrorist group massacred villages and took hostages? And the answer is that no country would do things significantly different from what Israel is doing in this scenario. Sure there’s a few things that Israel has done wrong, but the overall war against Hamas is something that no one other than some easily manipulated children thinks is wrong. Hamas is holding Israelis in Gaza, that brought war to Gaza.
It may surprise you to learn that many Palestinians are against Hamas and their senseless war. But they tend to get tortured to death by Hamas if they speak out against them. It’s easy for you to root for Hamas when you’re thousands of miles away and it’s not your house being bombed to shit in a war that was started by your government massacring people and taking hostages. You can eat popcorn like a psychopath while people are dying because you can get internet points for acting like a badass and encouraging the war to continue. But this isn’t a movie and people are really dying while Hamas cowardly hides in tunnels and continues to hold people hostages.
Again Israeli leaders admitted that they wanted the whole land for the beginning and pacific protest was responded with Israeli . So stop with your "if Palestinians was using peaceful methods they would have their state " bs
You can’t expect the colonizer dictate the terms, propose bad deals and expect the colonized to accept it. One example is Camp David where Israel’s Foreign Minister and a leading member of the Israeli negotiation team at that time said
