Genocide denial and denial of state atrocities are illegal in some jurisdictions. Are you sure this is a risk you're willing to take?

At October 7th the Gaza strip was under occupation, with the population on the verge of starvation. That is not peaceful. It was also the deadliest year in a long time for palestinians in the occupied West Bank. An openly genocidal, kahanist-likudnik government had taken power in Israel.

Whatever "luxuries" got into the Gaza strip came through the smuggling network. And either way, armed resistance to occupation is a right. I'd argue it should be under apartheid as well.

again, there is documented video footage of good life, better than in most arab countries in the region. the fact you refuse to believe reality goes well with everything that you spew out.

and defense is a real right, unlike terrorism, if you pick violence, the other side will defend itself - so you are just glorifying more death, and are blind to your bloodlust, which is disgusting.

The occupier is the aggressor. ICJ published an advisory opinion last summer. Palestinian armed resistance is legitimate, within the limits of international law.

most basic thing the international law requires is for combatants to wear a uniform (a major reason why hamas is to blame for deaths of palestinian civilians), not to mention indiscriminate targeting of civilians, hostage taking, rape and torture, use of religious, medical and educational facilities for war purposes and more or less anything that is called armed resistance represents.

Right, if you believe that, start holding the IDF to that standard.

As a victim of occupation it's not illegal to form militias and use other irregular means of warfare.

Even if Abu Obeida dressed in babies it would not be allowed to kill them to kill him. The IDF murders civilians systematically and does not try to avoid civilian casualties. Much of israeli society and the IDF considers palestinian children to be "terrorists" in the making and hence legitimate targets, but international and humanitarian law does not support this position. But this is likely why doctors and surgeons commonly see sniper wounds in the head and torso on small kids in the Gaza strip, and it's why it's not uncommon to see video from the West Bank where some unarmed teenager is left bleeding out in the street while the ambulance is held up by the IDF some distance away.

It was illegal to take hostages, sure, but I'm under the impression that most that were taken on 7th were soldiers and that's another thing entirely. You also don't have any evidence of rape perpetrated by palestinians, while there is quite a bit of evidence for use of rape and sexual abuse against palestinians by israelis. Last summer riots erupted in Israel because some soldiers that raped one of their hostages to death were arrested over it, and a couple of the perpetrators were paraded on evening television as heroes.

your impressions don’t interest anyone, the fact is that rocket attacks and the 7th october as well as most of what you call resistance is targeted at civilians and you are a monster to try to find excuses for that.
