The Palestinian resistance should not have to listen to someone who's been participating in the ethnic cleansing and Genocide against them.

With the stable genius in charge, and no consequences for genocide, just surrendering weapons to criminals who have immediately broken every single ceasefire they ever signed.

People don't realize that any where in the world. As long as oppression exists, so will resistance groups. It's their very creation caused by oppression of the elites or those in power. Then they are labeled as 'terrorists' but I dare ask, how do you think it would go inside the United States? If this were happening to us on a massive scale and our "allies" just ignored our cries for help? You bet we would be gathering together taking matters into our hands to fight back and gain our freedom. It's the same outcome, intention, and end goal on both sides no matter the creed, demographic, or religion. People are people and we all deserve freedom.
