I assume, but don't know, that Hamas has a spokesperson that wrote it, and sent it to news agencies.

A. Having credentials does not mean one produces quality work. The academic system is broken.
B. I ignore all 'sources' that skip basic inconvenient facts to support their narrative.
C. The basic facts of the region include brutality and conflict from all sides. The Palestinians are not some holy angels. They were fucked by history, but they are not victims.
D. There is no one consistent definition of Palestinian. Even UNRWA made a mess of the matter. For example, they included Arab job seekers that got stuck in the region.
E. Point D. is important, as a more consists definition is required. For a long term solution. One that is not 'from the river to the sea' or forever war. We are entering into a period of rapid changes (not for the better) due to climate change. If no solution will be found soon, there will never be one. As we are losing our ability to build.
F. If someone feel joy from mass murder (covering it up in terms like resistance dose not change what it is) he is a stain on humanity.
I will read your next reply, but will not reply to it.
Are really going after the words of grade F pseudo historians of the like of Nur Masalha? LOL
What a waste of time
Forgejo is very much fun
I don't trust al mayadeen, as they are Hizzbulah mouthpiece. But they will not spread fake news to support Israel.
Let break it down.
Gaza has never stopped being under Israeli occupation since 1967
False, Israel left Gaza in 2005, the blockade started after Hamas fired rockets into Israel.
Hamas only exists because of the Apartheid Occupation of Israel and the daily violence that has subjected Palestinians to for generations.
False, Hamas is a modern, local, branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. A movement that was already active in the area in 1929 (1929 Palestine riots).
Israel has always been the obstacle for peace, and has been the one preventing a ceasefire.
This is why Israel has peace with Jordan and Egypt. Yes. Also, remind me, who broke the ceasefire on 2006? On 2023? Not Israel.
It is not '99% Muslim because they murdered everyone else' that's an insane racist lie. Palestine has historically been a safe haven for people of every religion seeking asylum from persecution.
Like the Jewish people that lived in Gaza in 1929? Like the Jewish people of Zfat in (1834 looting of Safed as an example, there are more)? The Christian population in most, if not all, Muslim controlled territories has declined due to persecution by Muslims.
The word may will be used for any evidence that is not strong as said UNRWA employees bursting into the OIOS armed with guns, marked with Hamas headband and shouting slogans. Even if they have pay slips from Hamas or video evidence they will use the word may. It's a common usage in formal text. But don't trust me, open scientific papers from high impact journals. You will find the word 'may' being used in a similar fasion.
As for evidence from Israel, it goes down to he-said. As Israel claims they provided evidence[0]. As both sides have interest to lie, I don't believe any of them.
It will take a lot of time for a clearer picture to emerge. But in the meantime you can collect puzzle pieces by your self. For example, Hamas' announcement on the death of head of operations in Lebanon [1] raised a familiar name! The beloved school manager that UNRWA suspended [2]

Thorough investigation takes time.

Till August the UN found that nine had to be fired. By their next report we will see more double dippers.
I would have zero problem with West Bank Palestinians striking back at the local Jewish settlers. I will feel no joy from that, but the local settlers earned that. I would much prefer if the world banking system will block them and they will be all charged with war crimes.
UNRWA should be dismantled completely. They double dipped as Hamas members, made up funny definition for refugees, promoted conflict and lead to no long term solution. UNHCR may be more successful, after all, they are good enough for all other refugees.
The battle of Gaza in 2007 happened after Hamas dried the PA security and opened a war on Israel by kidnapping a soldier from within Israel through a tunnel.
The uselessness of the UN Peacekeeping Force is the reason Israel and HA are at war, again. They failed to enforce 1701.
If to judge by other places in the world, they were probably too busy taking bribes and sexually abusing the locals.
The person above you claimed I work for Netanyahu. Hell no.
Will all the needed binary blobs survive a kernel update? Cus that's a blocker for both long term and distro wide support.
