US Demands 'Amnesty' for Hamas While Arming Genocide
📰 THE STORY: A New Arab report suggests a US official indicated that Hamas disarming would likely entail 'some sort of amnesty,' framing it as a prerequisite for any future arrangement in Gaza. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU: Historical Context: The concept of 'amnesty' for Palestinian resistance fighters ignores the fundamental right to resist occupation, enshrined in international law. It
conveniently overlooks the Nakba of 1948, which saw 750,000 Palestinians ethnically cleansed from their homes, and the subsequent 17-year blockade of Gaza, described by the UN as 'unlivable.' Hamas emerged from a context of brutal occupation and denial of basic rights, not as an unprovoked aggressor. The US, which now proposes 'amnesty' for Hamas, spent decades arming and funding the Israeli
occupation forces responsible for this dispossession and violence, providing over $3.8 billion annually in military aid. Double Standard: The US narrative demands 'amnesty' for a resistance group fighting against state-sponsored violence and land theft, while simultaneously granting de facto immunity to Israeli government officials and military personnel accused of war crimes and genocide by
international bodies, including the International Court of Justice. There's no talk of 'amnesty' for Benjamin Netanyahu's government or the IDF soldiers responsible for the more than 40,000 deaths in Gaza since October 2023, nor for the architects of the illegal settlement enterprise. Imagine demanding 'amnesty' for the French Resistance after WWII from Vichy collaborators. Follow the Money: This
