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.

    Religion has a little bit to do with it. Zionism takes full advantage of its “holocaust industry” (as Norm would say) to continue it’s genocide. Jewish people can absolutely separate themselves from Israel and Zionism. But Zionism is absolutely dependent on people believing in Jewish supremacy.

      True, thought they’d have leveraged anything for their settler agenda, and Judaism just happened to be very convenient. In North America we invented “whiteness,” and considered natives to be Christless “heathens.”
