"To understand Hamas is to first understand Palestine, not through the lens of mainstream media, geopolitical spin, or whitewashed diplomacy, but through the ancestral memory of land, loss, and liberation. Palestine is not a crisis zone. It is a colonized homeland. It is not simply a “conflict”, it is a continuum of structural violence dating back over a century, masked by euphemisms and moral fog. The Western narrative insists on describing what is happening between Israel and Palestine as a “conflict,” a word that implies symmetry, equal footing, and mutual aggression. This framing is a lie. It erases the fact that one side holds:

A nuclear-armed military

Total control over borders, airspace, water, and movement

Back-to-back U.S. aid packages totaling over $150 billion

Advanced surveillance infrastructure tested on Palestinian civilians

While the other side, Palestinians, live under siege, expulsion, occupation, or apartheid.Gaza, in particular, has been rendered an open-air prison, where over two million people, half of them children, are denied access to clean water, consistent electricity, or the right to leave. West Bank Palestinians face daily military checkpoints, land seizures, settler violence, and judicial apartheid under dual legal systems. Within ‘48 territories, even Palestinian citizens of Israel experience second-class status.

This is not a “clash.” This is a settler-colonial occupation sustained by racial capitalism and backed by global white supremacist infrastructure. And like all settler projects, from South Africa to Australia to the U.S., it is rooted in a core logic: eliminate the native, normalize the settler."
