Hamas bracht ongeveer een week geleden een rapport uit waarin ze hun uitleg geven over het waarom van 7 oktober 2023:
The battle of the Palestinian people against occupation
and colonialism did not start on Oct. 7, but started 105
years ago, including 30 years of British colonialism and 75
years of Zionist occupation. In 1918, the Palestinian people
owned 98.5% of the Palestine land and represented 92% of
the population on the land of Palestine. While the Jews, who
were brought to Palestine in mass immigration campaigns
in coordination between the British colonial authorities
and the Zionist Movement, managed to seize control of
not more than 6% of the lands in Palestine and to be 31%
of the population prior to 1948 when the Zionist Entity was
announced on the historic land of Palestine. At that time,
the Palestinian people were denied from the right to
selfdetermination and the Zionist gangs engaged in an ethnic
cleansing campaign against the Palestinian people aimed
at expelling them from their lands and areas. As a result,
the Zionist gangs seized control by force of 77% of the
land of Palestine where they expelled 57% of the people
of Palestine and destroyed over 500 Palestinian villages
and towns, and committed dozens of massacres against
the Palestinians which all culminated in the establishment
of the Zionist Entity in 1948. Moreover, in continuation of
the aggression, the Israeli forces in 1967 occupied the rest
of Palestine including the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and
Jerusalem in addition to Arab territories around Palestine.
2. 2-Over these long decades, the Palestinian people
suffered all forms of oppression, injustice, expropriation
of their fundamental rights and the apartheid policies.
The Gaza Strip, for example, suffered as of 2007 from a

suffocating blockade over 17 years which turned it to be the largest open-air prison in the world. The Palestinian people in Gaza also suffered from five destructive wars\aggressions all of which “Israel” was the offending party.
The people in Gaza in 2018
also initiated the Great March of Return demonstrations to peacefully protest the Israeli blockade, their misery humanitarian conditions and to demand their right-to-return. However, the Israeli occupation forces responded to these protests with brutal force by which 360 Palestinians were killed and 19,000 others were injured including over 5,000
children in a matter of few months.
3. According official figures, in the period between (January 2000 and September 2023), the Israeli occupation killed 11,299 Palestinians and injured 156,768 others, the great majority
of them were civilians. Unfortunately, the US administration and its allies did not pay attention to the suffering of the Palestinian people over the past years but provided cover to the Israeli aggression. They only lamented the Israeli soldiers who were killed on Oct. 7 even without seeking the truth of what happened, and wrongfully walked behind the Israeli
narrative in condemning an alleged targeting of Israeli civilians. The US administration provided the financial and military support to the Israeli occupation massacres against the Palestinian civilians and the brutal aggression on the Gaza Strip, and still the US officials
continue to ignore what the Israeli occupation forces commit in Gaza of mass killing.
