Hamas has called on Israel to allow an impartial international investigation into its attack on 7 October 2023 and has rejected that it killed civilians or committed atrocities.

“The resistance did not target any hospital, school, or house of worship; it did not kill a single journalist or any member of ambulance crews. We challenge [Israel] to prove otherwise,” it said.

In the new document, Hamas said that “Western media and Zionist lobby groups” had launched a disinformation campaign about the events of the attack.

“The Israeli entity promoted a series of lies and fallacies about killing children and raping women, paving the way to proceed with an all-out genocide project that was pre-planned and aimed to erase Gaza from existence,” it said.

      You can’t ‘both sides’ 76 years of Apartheid and genocide. It’s as ridiculous as ‘both sides’-ing the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

      No, Israel invoked the “Hannibal Directive” and killed its own people on Oct. 7th. And then they blamed Hamas for those deaths, which Western media parroted.

      7 October was based and a rightful act of resistance against Nazi occupation. Israel needs to be dissolved as a country.
