M.i. interessante analyse waarom Hamas besloot om de aanval van 7 oktober 2023 uit te voeren, vereenvoudigd in mijn woorden uit https://israelpalestinenews.org/why-hamas-believed-the-status-quo-was-more-dangerous-than-its-7-october-gamble/ 1️⃣ Gaza was al meer dan 16 jaar een concentratiekamp waar je niet zomaar in of uit kon, met zeer hoge werkloosheidscijfers en waarbij meer dan de helft van de 2,2 miljoen tellende bevolking afhankelijk was van voedselhulp. Raketten vanuit Gaza uit protest tegen de gevangenisbewaarders werden steevast beantwoord met disproportioneel geweld - met telkens véél meer Palestijnse doden en gewonden dan Israëliërs. 2️⃣ Een stijging van het geweld tegen Palestijnen op de Westbank en hen steeds meer isoleren middels muren en wegblokkades - alles in toenemende mate gesteund door politici, met name Itamar Ben Gvir en Bezalel Smotrich. 3️⃣ Het steeds verder "opslokken" van oost-Jerusalem en frequenter onteren van de Al Aqsa moskee. 4️⃣ Meer dan 5000 Palestijnen, waaronder vrouwen en kinderen, in Israëlische detentie onder toenemend onmenselijke omstandigheden (inclusief martelingen). Van die 5000+ meer dan 1200 vastgehouden zonder vorm van proces (administratieve detentie). 5️⃣ Normalisatie van de huidige situatie met steeds minder zicht op een twee-staten oplossing (waarvan westerse landen claimen dat te eisen maar waar niemand naar handelt). Economisch gedreven deals tussen Moslimlanden (die eerder de Palestijnen steunden) zoals Saoudi-Arabië met Israël verergerden de situatie. Op 22 sept. 2023 toonde Netanyahu een landkaart van Israël waarop de Palestijnse gebieden verdwenen waren op een VN-vergadering. Het doel van de leiding van Hamas was waarschijnlijk zoveel als mogelijk Israëliërs gijzelen om de wereld wakker te schudden, Palestijnse gevangenen vrij te krijgen en te voorkómen dat een Palestijnse staat onmogelijk werd. Naar verluidt was Hamas niet op de hoogte van het Nova muziekfestival en had niet gerekend op de "Hannibal doctrine" (waarbij de IDF Israëliërs heeft gedood om te voorkómen dat zij gegijzeld zouden worden). Kortom, westerse landen en Israël hebben de wanhoopsdaad van Hamas uitgelokt. Israël deed dat bewust om westerse landen ervan te overtuigen dat Palestijnen terroristen zijn en het "altijd Joden zijn die worden bedreigd", daarbij rekenend op de onvoorwaardelijke steun vanuit de VS (zowel Republikeinen als Democraten).

Quoting
Analysis: "Why Hamas believed the status quo was more dangerous than its 7 October gamble". "Hamas’s internal discussions in the years preceding 7 October reveal a leadership increasingly convinced that the status quo itself had become a strategic threat." Oct 7 was a decision driven by siege, settlement expansion, assaults on Al-Aqsa, Israeli abuse of Palestinian prisoners & normalisation. https://israelpalestinenews.org/why-hamas-believed-the-status-quo-was-more-dangerous-than-its-7-october-gamble/#USPol #EUPol #Oct7 #Gaza #GazaGenocide #palestine #news #GazaSiege .

Edward Said, and the Palestine that was never an empty desert [from FB post by We Stand With Francesca Albanese] #EdwardSaid was born on November 1, 1935, in Jerusalem, Palestine. He dedicated his work to dismantling the false historiography used to justify the founding of the State of Israel. Before the first Aliyot, Jews made up barely 3% of the population. #Palestine was not an empty desert. It was a prosperous territory of the Ottoman Empire, with banks, industry, and agricultural exports that rivaled those of Italy. Its population grew endogenously precisely because it was a thriving place. Much of the population living today in #Gaza and the #WestBank descends from the families expelled from the lands that now make up #Israel. #FreePalestine #SanctionIsrael #AntiZionismIsNotAntisemitism #BDS #DivestFromIsrael #SolidarityWithPalestineIsNotAntisemitism #EqualRightsForAllFromTheRiverToTheSeaIsNotAntisemitic #JewHatredHurtsPalestine #news #politics @palestine

"كيف يمكن ألا يستطيع الإنسان أن يسير إلى ملكه الخاص؟ أن يزور قبر زوجته؟ أن يأكل ثمار أربعين جيلاً من كدح أسلافه من دون أن يعاقب بالموت رمياً بالرصاص؟ على نحو ما، لم يكن هذا السؤال الفجّ القاسي قد نفذ سابقاً إلي وعي اللاجئين الذين شوشتهم أبدية الانتظار، معلقين آمالهم على قرارات دولية نظرية" "How can a person not be able to walk to their own realm? To visit the spouse's grave? To eat the fruits of forty generations of the ancestors' toil without being punished by death by firing squad? In a way, this harsh, blunt question had not previously penetrated the consciousness of the refugees, who were bewildered by the eternity of waiting, pinning their hopes on hypothetical international decisions." ― Susan Abulhawa, in "Mornings in Jenin" (2006) poke @palestine@fedibird.com#exile #refugees #israelPalestine #PalestinianLivesMatter #OPT #WestBank #ethnicCleansing #RightToReturn #quotes #bookStodon #book

“The West wants Netanyahu gone - so Palestinians can be killed more quietly again” by Jonathan Cook on Substack @palestine@fedibird.com @Palestine@masto.ai@palestine@lemmy.ml @iran@iraq@mastodon.social@palestinenews@gts.liberated.press “As Israel’s #Haaretz newspaper observed: ‘#Trump is well aware of the consistent, dizzying decline in support for Israel among Americans.’ Which is why he and other western politicians are desperate to reframe the conversation. Singling out #Netanyahu over Israeli atrocities in Gaza does not get them off the hook because they so obviously partnered with him every step of the way. Instead western leaders want to switch focus to the #WestBank, where their role is more easily obscured and Netahyahu’s law-breaking is unmistakable.” https://jonathancook.substack.com/p/the-west-wants-netanyahu-gone-so #Press #SocialMedia #Journalism #Gaza #PalestinianGenocide #Zionism #SettlerColonialism #Resistance #EradicateZionism #DecolonizePalestine #GlobaliseTheIntifada #Iran #War #Trump #Israel #Lebanon #Hezbollah

Der defacto Gouverneur der besetzten WestBank Smotrich verordnet nun mit Verweis auf die aktuellen Feiertage eine einwöchige vollständige militärische Abriegelung für die komplette WestBank. Gleichzeitig kündigt einen Krieg für die Westbank an - so will er nun dort genauso Verfahren wie in Gaza, die PA genauso zerstören wie die Hamas. »Israeli minister Bezalel Smotrich calls for war in occupied West Bank« https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/9/27/israeli-minister-bezalel-smotrich-calls-for-war-in-occupied-west-bank #israel #Westbank #Genocide
