In an incredible and rare admission, Fatah has corroborated what Israel has been saying all along: that Hamas is responsible for turmoil connected to distribution of the humanitarian aid sent into Gaza. A Fatah TV anchor reported that throughout the war, Hamas has been committing what is essentially a triple crime—it has attacked and killed aid workers in order to control aid distribution, stolen the food and water for itself, and caused food prices to skyrocket.

The west bank is defacto run by Fatah, who are a secular party not closely affiliated with Hamas at all, and haven't been carrying out armed attacks for 20 years (since the Oslo accords).
Nothing that is happening in Gaza right now is justified on any level and the genocide happening there is horrendous.
But Israeli violence in the West Bank is totally unprovoked and just shows that Israel intends to use this as a land grab and a chance to effectively destroy Palestine altogether.

An anti-zionist Jew is like a Black Republican.
They're advocating against their own interests, their voices have been disproportionately amplified by people who agree with them and want to be convinced that they're not bigots, and they are a small minority of their people.

Been seeing a lot of pushback about the arrests at pro-Palestine protests. And I'd get it if they were actually peaceful and had a track record that didn't involve violence.
I feel like a lot more people would be accepting of these protests if the protesters were supporting Fatah (a secular democratic faction) rather than Hamas (a fundamentalist theocrat faction). Now, obviously Fatah has problems, and I don't personally support them outright, largely due to a lack of information on them, but I'd at least get supporting them.
Maybe with that in mind, some pro-pals might like to look into them.

In 1977, Zahir Muhsein, a member of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and a military commander of the PLO, in an interview with the Dutch newspaper, TROUW, declared the Palestinian people to be a propaganda invention. His exact words:
“The Palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct ‘Palestinian people’ to oppose Zionism.
“For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we claim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan”.
“It is common knowledge that Palestine is nothing more than southern Syria” — Ahmed Shukeiry, head of the PLO, to UN Security Council, May 31, 1956
“… Palestine is not only a part of our Arab homeland, but a basic part of southern Syria.” — Syrian President Hafez Assad, Radio Damascus, March 8. 1974
“Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity serves only practical purposes. The founding of a Palestinian state is a new tool in the continuing battle against Israel …” — Zuheir Muhsin, Head of the Military Department and Executive Council, PLO, Trouw, March 1977
In the Quran, there are 10 passages which state that Allah bequeathed the land to the Jewish people. In all of these instances, it is written that there is not only the right but the obligation placed on the Sons of Israel to inherit the land. On the other hand, there is no mention in the Quran of bequeathing the land to Muslims, Arabs, Palestinians, or any other nation not called the Jewish people.
