Hamas on Saturday said it would not disarm “as long as the occupation exists,” denying reported remarks to the contrary by US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and blasting him for visiting an aid site run by the controversial, US- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.

In a statement, Hamas vowed to continue its violent struggle, saying its right to do so was guaranteed by international law until Palestinians’ “national rights” were realized, “foremost among them… the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with full sovereignty and Jerusalem as its capital.”

And they're 100% right.

International law is very simple and straightforward - land forcibly annexed is not legitimate. Israel has no legal or valid claim to any territory beyond what it was granted in UN Resolution 181 in 1948. Every single inch of land it's taken since then has been taken illegally, and in direct violation of the rights of the inhabitants.

And that's even before getting into the overt evil that Israel has committed along the way - the terrorism and brutality and oppression and murder that it's employed to incrementally steal the rightful territory of the Palestinians.

And yes - the Palestinians have every right to stand against Israel's brutal theft of its territory and murder of its inhabitants. Their resistance is not only morally right, but entirely in keeping with international law.

They should retain arms as long as genocidal sociopaths and other Western-backed terrorists are out of the Levant.

Nobody is dumb enough to drop arms before ending occupation

Even then, a standing military is key to sovereignty

The Zionists should lay down their arms. They are a militaristic colony of genocidal terrorists.

Ah yes, thank you Times of Israel for your unbiased and fair look into the thoughts of the people fighting against complete eradication by the hands of the country you are propagandists for.
