There was no ceasefire between the people of Gaza and the Zionist entity on October 7th, and the attack carried out that day represented the only logical outcome of Israel’s policy. Israel has shown that it has no desire for a peaceful solution to it’s conflict with the people of Gaza and the resistance that they elected to lead them. In 2018, the people of Gaza organized mass demonstrations at the border with Israel to demand that they be allowed to return to the homes they were expelled from in 1948. This is a fair and just demand that is recognized as a right by the UN in Resolution 194. These protests were lead by civil society groups, and only later coopted by Hamas.
The idea for the protest movement began in the early 2011 during the Arab Spring when a Gazan journalist asked in a Facebook post; “What if 200,000 Palestinians headed peacefully to cross the border [into their ancestral home, now called Israel], while raising a poster that says they only want to go back to their land? What would happen?” The idea was slowly developed over the decade by the journalist and his friends, until one brave activist named Muthana al-Najjar set up a tent near the border. His family was originally from Salamah just east of Jaffa, but they were pushed into captivity in Gaza by the Zionist entity.
The Zionist’s response to this peaceful protest was to issue threats up to and including lethal force against the protesters. Over the coming months, the Zionists would be as good as their word. Over 200 Palestinians were killed, with hostile estimates putting the number of militants in those ranks at 40. However, the Zionists primarily used other methods to repress the protesters.
Zionist Snipers armed with live rounds were instructed to cripple Palestinians who approached the border, and they did with a total disregard for the humanity of the people they were maiming. One sniper bragged about shooting 42 knees in one day. This shows that the Zionist terrorists had complete control of the situation, and chose to respond to the protests with violence. They had imposed a no go area near the border, and were shooting anyone who approached. This violence proves that Gaza is an open air prison, and that the Gazan’s are prisoners of “Israel.” This further proves that no truce existed, and that October 7th was a lawful and legitimate military action by a people who had exhausted all peaceful means of settling their dispute with the colonial occupying power.
If the Zionists had admitted to the error of their ways and begun a policy of return for Palestinian refugees; then October 7th could have been avoided. When the demon Hillary Clinton, or any other Zionist pig, says that there was a ceasefire on October 7th; remind them of 2018. As Robert F. Kennedy said “those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.” The only way to stop more October 7ths from happening is through a revolution that overthrows the Zionist entity and establishes one Democratic socialist Republic in it’s place with equal rights for all nationalities. No more Oslo’s, no more compromises! FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA, PALESTINE IS BEING FREED!
