“Settler colonialism” is a misnomer
It implies just a migration of some people to settle somewhere else
It sound normal, harmless and benign
It sounds soft, peaceful and inclusive
It sounds permanent, “here to stay”
What we have in Palestine, is not “settler colonialism”, what we have is no less than a Supremacist Genocidal Barbaric Belligerent Occupation of Historic Palestine which has to be terminated.
Labeling it mere “settler colonialism” is an an attempt to whitewashing a Supremacist Genocidal Barbaric Belligerent Occupation.
In accordance with International Court of Justice 2004
1) Belligerent Occupation (military or otherwise) with which the occupied people don’t agree, i.e they resist, is a Grave Breach of International Law, which constitutes a War Crime
a) Since 1948, Palestinians have resisted the occupation of their land, hence under International law there is a Belligerent Occupation of Palestine.
b) This Belligerent Occupation of Palestine does not protect the rights the needs nor provides for them, to the contrary it has been oppressing, maiming, imprisoning, torturing, dispossessing, ethnically cleansing, killing them en mass them without a respite, ever since.
This is a Grave Breach of International Law, which constitutes a War Crime.
Belligerent Occupation of Palestine is a Grave Breach of International Law, which constitutes a War Crime
2) Settlements in occupied lands are Grave Breaches of International Law. Jewish Settlements in Palestine is a Grave breach of International Law, which constitutes a War Crime.
This is before even talking about the numerous massacres of Palestinians and the attempt to destroy their geography, history, culture and ancient civilization through the 75 years of belligerent occupation.
Since 1948 “israel” has been murdering, ethnically cleansing Palestinians, and since 7th October, 2023 it has been committing Barbaric Genocide in real time, and now being legally prosecuted for it in ICJ.
War Crimes engender the Right to Armed Resistance.
War Crimes engender legally protected right to armed resistance.
Hamas is a Resistance Movement, along with other Palestinian resistance movements, who are engaged in legally resisting the occupation and usurpation of their land, which is granted to them by International Law.
Hamas has been unlawfully and illegally labeled as “terrorist” by “israel” and its allies and even by some “anti-Zionists”.
Conclusion:
“israel” is not “settler colonialism”, but a Supremacist Genocidal Barbaric Belligerent Occupation of Historic Palestine which has to be terminated.
Hamas is not a “terrorist” organization but a legitimate Resistance Movement
