What do you think of the western image of Hamas as religiously conservative islamists who wants to oppress women, LGBTQ people etc.?
Is there any internal opposition to the resistance inside Gaza? Is there people who wants to align themselves with the west and believe that some sort of deal can be worked out with the zionists?
Throughout its life, Hamas has not oppressed women, and there are no gay people in Gaza , and everything that is said by the Zionist Western media is a lie. None of the Palestinians are against the resistance
no gay people in Gaza
I know of at least one, Bashar Murad, who performed with satirical anti-capitalist band Hatari when the Zionist entity hosted Eurovision. He has not spoken of any oppression by his fellow Palestinians and the Zionists of course make no distinction between individual Palestinians. I remember seeing Zionist misinformation that he would have been safer in Tel Aviv than Gaza, which seems a cruel joke after the Al-Aqsa flood and the Zionist aggression after.
The band Hatari were under a lot of pressure to boycott the contest, but they decided tried to use the opportunity to bring focus on the Palestinian people.

just say thank you for your support ❤❤
there are no gay people in Gaza
Could you explain this further?
the number of gay people in Gaza is very small because most of the Palestinian people in Gaza are religious
In religious communities in America, there are few openly gay people.
I mean, I guess religion needs to be some glimmer of hope, from the ravages of (Zionist) destruction
Pessimism of the mind, optimism of the will…
thank you for your support ❤❤
so true bestie
What kind of food do you eat day to day?
I like to break my fast with thyme and Palestinian olive oil, one of the best types of oil in the world, and also with hummus and falafel. Most Palestinian people break their fast like this.
I made falafel for the first time a few weeks ago, all my friends loved it. I used chickpeas, parsley, a yellow onion, garlic paste, cumin, coriander, black pepper, and some harissa. Is there a certain style or recipe that your neighbors in Gaza would commonly use?
The videos of settlers bulldozing centuries-old olive trees in the West Bank made my blood boil.
Yes, this is our way in Gaza. This is how we make falafel, and it is wonderful that you and your friends like it. The Zionists want to destroy everything trees, humans, animals, anything. They do not have a heart.
When Palestine is free
what do you want to do in the first five years?I want to go to Jerusalem. I want to go everywhere in Palestine, and I really hope that it will be liberated as soon as possible.
How do you feel about the Palestinian Authority?
They are traitors, they do not represent the Palestinian people, they are the dogs of Israel
I am so sorry that they are the ones tasked with representing you in the international stage.
Do you think things would have slowly gotten even worse than they are now if the PA had won the elections instead of Hamas?
Yes, of course, and the Palestinian issue will end.Hamas is the one Which showed the Palestinian issue to the world and our suffering in the ongoing siege and killing since 1948
Exactly, thank you. I wish you a lot of strength, I hope this genocide ends as soon as possible and your people can be free. Solidarity forever.
I hope so، It will be a liberation day great joy for the Palestinian people and for all the free and honorable people in the world
Stay safe Palestinian from Gaza. I pray there is a day you and your love ones don’t have to worry about this insanity and can just live your lives fully.
I hope we get that
As an American I just want to say how sorry I am that the US keeps helping Israel. I wish there was more we could do to stop it, but honestly the US is basically an occupied country at this point and most people don’t even realize it. Which brings me to my question, do most Palestinians at this point realize that they are being genocided, and that Israel intends to eradicate you all? Or are some still deluding themselves into believing that if they’re really good boys and girls then Israel will stop one day?
The American-Zionist government is the reason for the death of every child in Gaza. Yes, Palestinians know that

just commenting my support
I feel dumb for not connecting the supposed desire to protect LGBT to the old excuse of bringing civilization to the colonized. It’s the same thing with the same outcome.
Yes, I know this singer. He was one of the first people to support the Palestinian cause. I want to thank him for all that support, Also, thank you, my friend, for your support
Leslie Feinbergs pronouns are she/her or zie/hir, I understand you’re still learning English though. Wish you the best

What are some of your favorite animals? and what are some of the things you like to do?
My favorite animal is cats, and I like to play video games, especially FC, and I like to play soccer with my friends. A year ago, we did not play together, and many of them died
Cats are very beautiful creatures. Since you like soccer, do you have a favorite soccer team? and what other video games have you played? I’m not familiar with FC. And I’m sorry for your loss, the zionists will pay for every death and pain they have caused
Of course, Real Madrid, Spain, and I also love Juventus, Italy, since childhood. FC is a football game whose former name was FIFA. I also love the game Gall of Duty
Nice and doesn’t Real Madrid have a match soon? And oh, I heard of FIFA! And I hope you and others you care for stay safe
Yes, Real Madrid’s match against Barcelona today will be a difficult and very beautiful match. Thank you for your support ❤
not much to ask just here to say the +20k people here are with you, and if, instead of protesting in the streets we could fight with you, we wouldnt hesitate.

The problem is if you want to fight and go to Gaza, the Egyptian government will prevent you. My friend, the people closest to us have sold us out.
i dont speak a lick of arab and have zero training so id be useless anyway and fuck the egyptian ruling elite, theyll get what they deserve soon enough
If you knew everything, you would not be able to go to Gaza. Did you know that we have been under siege for 18 years
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood
Your thoughts about the Hamas and the operation Al-Aqsa Flood?
Hamas is a Palestinian resistance and we must love them because they sacrificed themselves and their children for the sake of Palestine. I believe that the Al-Aqsa flood should have happened a long time ago because we have been living under a severe siege for 18 years and we were prohibited from operating an airport and port, and traveling through Egypt was difficult. Very, very humiliating that they are no different from Israel
Does Gaza have a network of tunnels?
Here are some details in a previous AMA. The answer was “they are only permitted for al-muqawamin, not for the general public”.
Yes, there are tunnels in Gaza
But why do you ask??
I wanted a confirmation from local resident.
Thanks and stay safe.
Welcome my friend, I will always try Thank you for your support and humanity
How is your safety and comfort now? Are you OK?
I’m fine now, but I’m not okay, honestly, because the massacres don’t stop. Death is everywhere. Yesterday, they bombed 16 houses in Jabalia, in northern Gaza, and more than 200 people were killed.
How accessible is the internet in Gaza?
At the beginning of the war, it was very difficult to provide the Internet and it was only available in specific places, but now Internet companies have been able to provide the Internet in most places.
That’s good. The fact that people can see what’s happening there due to videos and images from Palestinians is having a huge effect in overcoming the pro-Israel media narratives in the West. Incidentally I saw Israel claim the other day that they bombed a hospital because Hamas was ‘using it for internet access’ which is so absurd even by their standards.
They lie in order to cover up the massacres and crimes they commit. They always say that in order to exclude schools, hospitals, mosques and churches. They do not want us to actually live ,it is ethnic cleansing
Are people rebuilding infrastructure that is destroyed by the IOF? I would think that it is disheartening to put all that time and effort into maintaining utilities that are at at such high risk of getting bombed again. How is your access to clean water these days?
No, no one is doing the restoration because there is no equipment and no building materials. However, we have restored some hospitals, but during the previous days they were destroyed again. Obtaining drinking water is very difficult and expensive.
