Israel is an oppressor not a victim

Hamas will survive the 60 years colonialist occupation by the Zionist state of Israel. Israel is terrorising the Palestinian people, killing their leaders and killing women and children by targeting their heads and chests.

Hamas will survive the 60 years colonialist occupation by the Zionist state of Israel. Israel is terrorising the Palestinian people, killing their leaders and killing women and children by targeting their heads and chests.

Hamas' crime is not to recognise Israel. The people of Gaza's crime is to have elected Hamas.

For this, Israel has unleashed its terror more than ever before with American F16 and helicopter gunships, violating the agreement that they will not use the arms against Palestinians.

Under international law - the Geneva Convention - an occupied people resisting occupation may use any means at their disposal to fight an occupying power. Hamas is using the only means at its disposal.

Israel violated the truce in November. Since the Annapolis Conference, hundreds of Palestinians have been killed. Hamas rockets are no comparison to the world's fourth most powerful army.

Israel has always portrayed itself as victims. Victims of whom, what? It is the occupier and victimiser of defenseless people by occupation of their land, subjugating them to an open-air prison in Gaza, starving them by controlling their sea route and border crossings.

Ronnie Kasrils said even the brutal apartheid regime never used helicopter gunships in the townships.
