THE TRUTH ABOUT GAZA NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR
Let's talk about what nobody wants to talk about.
Hamas is not a liberation movement. Hamas is a terrorist organization in the same family as ISIS and Al-Qaeda. The same ideology of holy war and the same hatred of Jews and of everything the West stands for.
The difference is that Hamas has a territory, a government, and millions of people under its control. That doesn't make them less dangerous. It makes them more dangerous.
Israel pulled out of Gaza completely in 2005. Every soldier and every settler was removed. The answer wasn't a state. The answer was Hamas. In 2007 they seized power by force and threw political opponents off rooftops. There hasn't been an election since. The blockade came after, not before. So to those who say "context"…That's the context.
Half of Gaza's population wasn't even born when Hamas took power. They've never been allowed to choose anything else. That's exactly why it's not Palestinians you're defending when you celebrate "the resistance." It's their jailers.
For years, Israel let millions of dollars from Qatar flow into Gaza every month. The money was meant to pay public salaries, help poor families, and keep the power on. Meanwhile, cement and aid meant to rebuild Gaza became hundreds of miles of tunnels, rockets, and weapons depots. It was a mistake to believe the money went where it was supposed to. But that mistake proves one thing…Whatever Gaza gets goes to war first.
And the tunnels aren't placed at random. Hamas built them under hospitals, schools, and UN buildings. Under Al-Shifa, Gaza's largest hospital. Under the headquarters of the UN aid agency. One of their leaders said openly that the tunnels are for the fighters and that protecting civilians is the UN's job. When Israel warns with leaflets, text messages, phone calls, and evacuation routes, Hamas has told people to stay put. When one army says "leave" and the other says "stay," who is it that needs dead civilians?
Because the dead get used. The Hamas-run health ministry counts them without distinguishing between terrorists and children, and the world's media repeats the numbers. When a hospital in Gaza was hit in October 2023, it went around the world within hours that Israel had killed hundreds. Several intelligence agencies later concluded it was most likely a misfired rocket from Islamic Jihad. The correction never reached the same screens.
And it starts early. At Hamas summer camps, kids learn to carry weapons and march in uniform. On Hamas children's TV, the youngest have been taught that Jews are enemies to be fought and that the greatest thing you can become is a martyr. Schoolbooks celebrate terrorists as heroes. That's not how you raise children for peace. That's how you raise the next generation of Hamas.
Their 1988 charter calls for killing Jews. Not Israelis. Jews. On October 7 they did it, and they filmed it themselves because they were proud. Afterward, one of their leaders said publicly they would do it again and again.
So when someone says "I defend Gaza," the question is: Which Gaza? Because Gaza as a political cause has been Hamas's cause for almost twenty years. Hamas defined what "resistance" means, and it's their slogans being chanted in the streets of Western cities.
You can't celebrate "the resistance" and claim to reject the people who make it up. You can't call it genocide when Israel defends itself and call it context when Hamas slaughters young people at a music festival.
If you truly wanted good things for ‘Palestinians’, you'd demand they be freed from Hamas. That's the only liberation that counts.
Anything else is defending terror.
