Let's see what the Palestinian Authority President has to say about Hamas. Abbas calls Hamas 'sons of dogs' and demands release of Gaza hostages https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4g20pj6epvo Mahmoud Abbas has called Hamas "sons of dogs" in a fiery speech in which he demanded the group release the hostages it is still holding, disarm, and hand over control of Gaza in order to end the war with Israel. The president of the Palestinian Authority told a meeting in the occupied West Bank that Hamas had given Israel "excuses" to continue its attacks on Gaza, and told it to "release the hostages and be done with it". The remarks were the strongest against the group that the president has delivered since the war began 18 months ago. A Hamas official condemned what he called Abbas's "derogatory language" towards "a significant proportion... of his own people". Last week, the group rejected an Israeli proposal for a new ceasefire in Gaza, which included a demand to disarm in return for a six-week pause in hostilities and the release of 10 of the 59 remaining hostages. Hamas reiterated that it would hand over all of the hostages in exchange for an end to the war and a full Israeli withdrawal. It also ruled out giving up its weapons. The PA, which is led by Abbas and dominated by his Fatah movement, has only governed parts of the West Bank since Hamas seized control of Gaza in 2007, a year after it won legislative elections. The PA's leadership has regularly insisted it is ready to take over running post-war Gaza. But it has been criticised by Palestinians for not speaking out enough or taking effective action. Abbas lashed out at Hamas in furious speech to a meeting of the Palestinian Central Council in Ramallah. "Hamas has given the criminal occupation [Israel] excuses to commit its crimes in the Gaza Strip, the most prominent being the holding of hostages," he said. "Sons of dogs, just release whoever you're holding and be done with it. Shut down their excuses and spare us." The president also said Hamas must "hand over" responsibility for Gaza and its weapons to the PA, and transform into a political party. A member of Hamas's political bureau, Bassem Naim, criticised Abbas's decision to "describe a significant and integral part of his own people using derogatory language", according to AFP news agency. "Abbas repeatedly and suspiciously lays the blame for the crimes of the occupation and its ongoing aggression on our people," he added. Hamas and the PA have been bitterly divided for decades, with their rift ensuring that no unified Palestinian leadership in both the West Bank and Gaza has been able to emerge. Abbas, 89, is seen as an irrelevance by many Palestinians. He has remained in power without election for many years, presiding over a PA that is seen by its critics as ineffective at best and corrupt at worst. Hamas has essentially accused it of collaborating with Israel. In a separate development on Wednesday, Hamas's military wing released a video showing the Israel-Hungarian hostage Omri Miran, 48, in an underground tunnel. "On the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day, when we say 'Never Again,' an Israeli citizen cries out for help from Hamas' tunnels. It is a moral failure for the State of Israel," his family said in a statement. Israel started blocking all deliveries of humanitarian aid and commercial supplies to Gaza on 2 March and resumed its offensive two weeks later, saying that the pressure would force Hamas to release the remaining hostages. Since then, at least 1,928 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry. On Tuesday night, 10 people were killed in an Israeli air strike on a school in the north-eastern Tuffah neighbourhood of Gaza City that was being used as a shelter for displaced families, according to the Hamas-run Civil Defence agency. A woman who was living at the school with her husband, children and grandchildren said they were asleep when the attack happened. "We woke up to fire surrounding us from all sides. My daughters suffered burns on their hands and legs. One of the women with us was taken to the hospital, but we still don't know what her condition is," she told BBC Arabic's Gaza Lifeline programme. "Several young people were burned alive." "This war has dragged on for nearly two years now. And what has it brought us? Just more death, more suffering," she added. The Civil Defence said its first responders also recovered another four bodies from attacks on two homes in the same area. The Israeli military said it was checking the reports. The UN meanwhile warned that the 52-day Israeli blockade had deprived Gaza's 2.1 million population of "the basic necessities for human survival". It has reported a rise in malnutrition and severe shortages of medicines at hospitals. On Wednesday, the foreign ministers of the UK, France and Germany called on Israel to end the blockade, saying it was "intolerable". "We urge Israel to immediately restart a rapid and unimpeded flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza in order to meet the needs of all civilians," said a joint statement. They also described as "unacceptable" Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz's "recent comments politicising humanitarian aid and Israeli plans to remain in Gaza after the war", adding that Israel was bound under international law to allow aid deliveries. The Israeli foreign ministry rejected the allegation that aid was being politicised. It also insisted that the country was acting in full accordance with international law and that there was "no shortage of aid in Gaza" because 25,000 aid lorries had entered during the recent two-month ceasefire. "Israel is fighting Hamas, which steals humanitarian aid, uses it to rebuild its war machine, and hides behind civilians," a statement said. "Hamas started this war, and Hamas is responsible for its continuation and for the suffering of both Palestinians and Israelis. The war can end tomorrow if the hostages are released and Hamas lays down its weapons," it added. The Israeli military launched a campaign to destroy Hamas in response to an unprecedented cross-border attack on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage. More than 51,300 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the territory's health ministry.
Yeah, riiiiight that's real logical. Now lets map the world with colonizer Christianity, the religion which pedals Judaism.
Israel faked Gaza tunnel discovery to prevent ceasefire: Gallant https://www.newarab.com/news/israel-faked-gaza-tunnel-discovery-prevent-ceasefire-gallant The New Arab Staff 23 April, 2025 Former Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant has accused the army of faking the discovery of a 'Hamas tunnel' on the Gaza-Egypt border to stall a ceasefire. Former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant was sacked from his post in November 2024 following a rift with Netanyahu [Getty] An investigation has found that an Israeli picture of an alleged Hamas tunnel in the Philadelphi Corridor which separates Gaza and Egypt was fake and used to prevent a ceasefire deal. Israel's public broadcaster Kan reported on Wednesday that the claimed Hamas tunnel was in fact "a canal covered in dirt". The picture was initially published by the Israeli military on the social media platform X on 4 August 2024. It claimed that the tunnel was three meters deep. “In recent operational activity, [Israeli military] troops eliminated dozens of tunnel routes in the area of the Philadelphi Corridor, and continue to locate additional ones. A three-meter-high tunnel was uncovered in the area at the beginning of last week,” the post said. Kan cited former Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, who said in an interview that the trench was only a meter deep and used to prevent a ceasefire deal. "It was not a tunnel, but an attempt to prevent a ceasefire agreement," he said, adding "it was promoted to the public as a deep tunnel to prevent reaching a deal with Hamas". Egypt has denied that there were active tunnels on its border with Gaza throughout the duration of the war. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for war crimes, has said there will be a permanent Israeli military presence in the corridor, which would violate the Camp David Accords signed with Egypt. However, Gallant, who is also wanted by the ICC, has disagreed with Netanyahu over the issue, calling the policy a "moral disgrace" in comments leaked to the Israeli press. Gallant was sacked by Netanyahu as Defence Minister last November. In January, a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas began in Gaza. Israel however broke it and resumed its assault on 18 March, placing the enclave under siege and killing at least 1,928 people since then Gaza’s Ministry of Health has said that Israeli attacks have killed 51,305 people and wounded a further 117,096 since the war began in October 2023. Thousands of uncounted victims are believed to be trapped under the rubble of destroyed buildings.
Every day the anti-Hamas protests in Gaza are growing in size and intensity. Anti-Hamas protests on rise in Gaza as group's iron grip slips https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c175z14r8pro Public criticism of Hamas is rare, with protests violently dispersed and opponents jailed, tortured and killed - this protest took place in Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza on 26 March "Out! Out! Out!" The voice in the Telegram video is insistent. Loud. Sometimes musical. And the message unambiguous. "All of Hamas, out!" On the streets of Gaza, more and more Palestinians are expressing open defiance against the armed group that's ruled the strip for almost 20 years. Many hold Hamas responsible for plunging the tiny, impoverished territory into the worst crisis faced by Palestinians in more than 70 years. "Deliver the message," another crowd chants, as it surges through Gaza's devastated streets: "Hamas is garbage." "The world is deceived by the situation in the Gaza Strip," says Moumen al-Natour, a Gaza lawyer and former political prisoner who's long been a vocal critic of Hamas. Al-Natour spoke to us from the shattered remains of his city, the flimsy canvas side of the tent which now forms part of his house billowing behind him. "The world thinks that Gaza is Hamas and Hamas is Gaza," he said. "We didn't choose Hamas and now Hamas is determined to rule Gaza and tie our fate to its own. Hamas must retreat. " Speaking out is dangerous. Hamas has never tolerated dissent. Al-Natour seems undaunted, writing a furious column for the Washington Post at the end of March. "To support Hamas is to be for Palestinian death," he wrote, "not Palestinian freedom". Wasn't it dangerous to speak out in this way, I asked him. "We need to take a risk and speak out," he replied without hesitation. "I'm 30 years old. When Hamas took over, I was 11. What have I done with my life? My life has been wasted between war and escalating violence for nothing." Moumen al-Natour says Hamas can no longer stay in power in the Gaza Strip Since Hamas took control of Gaza in 2007 by violently ousting political rivals, a year after winning national elections, there have been three major wars with Israel and two smaller conflicts. "Humanity demands that we raise our voices," al-Natour said, "despite suppression by Hamas". Hamas may be busy fighting Israel, but it's not afraid to punish its critics. At the end of March, 22-year old Oday al-Rubai was abducted by armed gunmen from a refugee shelter in Gaza City. Hours later, his body was found covered in horrific wounds. The Palestinian Independent Commission for Human Rights said Oday had been tortured, calling his death "a grave violation of the right to life and an extrajudicial killing". Oday al-Rubai's family blames Hamas for his killing Al-Rubai had participated in recent anti-Hamas protests. His family blamed Hamas for his death and demanded justice. Days earlier, a frightened al-Rubai posted a dark, grainy video on social media in which he expressed his fear that Hamas militants were coming for him. "Gaza has become a city of ghosts," he said, glancing over his shoulder. "I'm stranded in the street, not knowing where to go. I don't know why they're after me. They destroyed us and brought ruin to us." At his funeral, a small crowd demanded revenge and repeated demands for Hamas to get out of Gaza. Amin Abed, a long-term critic of Hamas, was beaten by masked militants in Gaza last year. He now lives in Dubai Last summer, Amin Abed almost suffered the same fate, following his decision to speak out against Hamas. Masked militants beat him senseless, broke bones all over his body and damaged his kidneys. Abed survived but had to seek medical treatment abroad. Now living in Dubai, he's still involved in the protest movement, and believes that Hamas' authority is diminished. "Hamas' power has begun to fade," he told me. "It targets activists and civilians, beats and kills them to scare people. But it's not how it was before." Before the ceasefire collapsed last month, Hamas fighters seemed intent on highly visible displays of power. But now, with Israel once again attacking relentlessly, the same gunmen have retreated underground and Gaza's civilians have been plunged back into the misery of war. Some of the more recent protests suggest that civilians, driven to the edge of madness by a year and a half of Israeli bombardment, are losing their fear of Hamas. Hundreds gathered in Beit Lahiya for last month's protest, with people chanting anti-war and anti-Hamas slogans Beit Lahiya, at the northern end of the Gaza Strip, has seen some of the most vociferous opposition. In a series of voice notes, an eyewitness – who asked not to be named – described several recent incidents in which local residents prevented Hamas fighters from carrying out military actions from inside their community. On 13 April, he said, Hamas gunmen tried to force their way into the house of an elderly man, Jamal al-Maznan. "They wanted to launch rockets and pipes [a derogatory term used for some of Hamas' home-made projectiles] from inside his house," the eyewitness told us. "But he refused." The incident soon escalated, with relatives and neighbours all coming to al-Maznan's defence. The gunmen opened fire, injuring several people, but eventually were driven out. "They were not intimidated by the bullets," the eyewitness said of the protesters. "They advanced and told [the gunmen] to take their things and flee. We don't want you in this place. We don't want your weapons that have brought us destruction, devastation and death." Elsewhere in Gaza, protesters have told militants to stay away from hospitals and schools, to avoid situations in which civilians are caught up in Israeli air strikes. But such defiance is still risky. In Gaza City, Hamas shot one such protester dead. With little to lose and hopes of an end to the war dashed once more, some Gazans direct their fury equally at Israel and Hamas. Asked which side he blamed most for Gaza's catastrophe, Amin Abed said it was "a choice between cholera and the plague". The protest movement of recent weeks is not yet a rebellion, but after almost 20 years of rule Hamas' iron grip on Gaza is slowly slipping.

If you changed the word 'Muslims' for 'Jews' you'd be labeled antisimetic and bigoted and racist and disgusting, but because you are from the Christian west, that type of inflammatory comment about Muslims is acceptable to you.
No, it is just an observable fact. Are you demanding that I join your delusion? Islam has to be called out for what it is and the truth about Islam has to be told. Islam is not and will never be a peaceful religion. Everyone has to stop pretending the Islam is peaceful and it is only extremists. Oh, I forgot one: Muslims living with Thais = Problems Either you are purposefully dumb or completely ignorant of the religion. If is it not an observable fact, prove me wrong. I am open.
Islam is the major religion on earth that has existed for the shortest period of time. However it is the religion that has murdered the most people over time. Over 10x that of all the other religions combined. https://www.thereligionofpeace.com/
