A community for everything related to Palestine and the occupation currently underway by the occupying force known as Israel.

Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Existence is resistance for Palestinians.

Please refer to Israel as Occupied Palestine, or occupied territories. The IDF is a fascist and ethnonationalist occupying force. Israelis are settlers. We understand however that the imperial narrative (which tries to legitimise Israel) is internalised in the imperial core and slip-ups are naturally expected.

We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose "defence force"'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care.

About the Hamas manifesto (1980s) (lemmygrad.ml)

Here in Brazil the media keeps talking about the manifesto that Hamas released upon its founding in the 1980s, where they basically call for genocide against Israel. Knowing that Hamas avoided harming civilians during the october attacks, it seems that their aims have changed and that they do not wish for that anymore. As such, is there any public statement from Hamas where they address the allegations of them wanting genocide?

edit: and the media accuses left-wingers of supporting "real terrorists", while leftists call the people who tried a coup in january 8th terrorists.

I feel like the current Hamas charter, from 2017, makes it clear that their aims have changed and what their aims are, as do some statements in around 2005/2006 IIRC. Idk about them addressing 'allegations' per se.

I did not know they had a more recent charter. Thank you.

Seems like the brazilian media really doesn't care about the truth, since they only show us the older charter.
