    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.

        The Icelandic People stand with you. The Iceland-Palestine association has been doing great work since 1987 in combating Zionist lies and was instrumental in Iceland recognizing Palestinian independence in 2011

    Do the Palestinian people actually care if Harris or Trump is the American president?

    Also I give my complete love and respect to the Palestinian people in their struggle against Israel. I have such deep admiration for Palestine and hope for liberation soon.

        Do you think things would have slowly gotten even worse than they are now if the PA had won the elections instead of Hamas?

    How do buildings get built? Most of the buildings I have seen pictures of are reinforced concrete; are you entirely reliant on shipments of concrete and steel rebar for buildings? Or is it possible to get wood and bricks?

    In Cuba, under the years of the embargo and especially during the “Special Period” in the 1990s after the Soviet Union fell, people everywhere became handymen and tinkerers, to the point where they keep repairing their own cars for decades, and they assemble their own electronics from scavenged parts. Has something similar been going on in Gaza since 2006? And did this change at all after October 2023?

      It is true that most of the buildings are made of concrete, because the population density in Gaza is so large that we cannot build wooden houses. It is true that most of the things we manufacture in Gaza know manufacturing better and more than manufacturing in Egypt. And most Arab countries because most of them depend on exports

      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

          It is when you come into a 2 day old thread with over 150 comments where it is very clear the OP is legit and pull this JAQing off shit.

          You are not from this instance, you do not know us. No investigation, no right to speak.

          Also take for just one moment the time to think about how someone currently fleeing genocide might not want to provide “proof” of their identity in an online space designed for anonymity.

    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?

    I don’t have much money but I try to donate whatever I can to organizations that help Palestinians, usually UNRWA and the Palestine Childrens Relief Fund. Do know of any other organizations that do good work or that have helped out you and others?

      It is better to help people direct , better than charitable organizations, In order to provide their basic needs, there are other priorities that charitable organizations cannot provide. Also aid from charitable organizations most of the aid is similar

      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.
