Is anyone holding pro-Hamas rallies? I have only heard of Pro-Palestinian. The two are obviously not the same.

>It’s been widely reported to be true afaik Its been widely reported without evidence existing, which should have been a redflag for anyone with brain. It was just "trust me bro" by the prime minister. Everybody has been slowly backtracking on it over the last 2 days. Including Israel itself: https://edition.cnn.com/2023/10/12/middleeast/israel-hamas-b...
And the statement that it would be fabricated should be taken as it is? Doesn't explain the witnesses though.
Yeah it seems stupid to ban them instead of identifying (and probably arresting for support of terrorism) anyone taking part at them. But as it's often the case it's easier to sweep the problems under the rug. There was a demonstration in my city as well tonight, I'm still in shock. But it's obvious that Europe is filled with antisemitic immigrants if you don't even ask them their beliefs before allowing them to stay…

Since we’re off HN topic anyways, can someone ELI5 why Israel blockades / occupies Palestinian territories? I would think given the treatment of Jews during WWII that there would be a special desire among Israelis not to treat a group of people poorly based on immutable facts like ethnicity. I understand the hatred of Hamas but don’t understand depriving Palestinian people of medicine and clean water and free movemen…
In fact, lets not blame the victims. Israel is defending themselves from aggressors and so I don't go far at all to consider their hasty response to the situation.
Next, "what palestinian territory?"
The british through blood, death and gore took that land. They formed Israel who has kept the land through blood, death and gore.
Did the palestianians take the land by force? Were they given land? Nope and Nope.

It's not about ethnicity or religion per se. The land israel occupies was taken by force from palestinians. Gaza specifically is to a large extent simply a refugee camp for those displaced to create the state of israel, and their descendants. Both groups have, from their own perspective, a valid and exclusive claim to the land there. If not prevented from doing so, palestinians would certainly reclaim the homes and f…
Not true. Jews purchased many of the lands during British and Ottoman rule. When Israel was formed the Palestinians were given the majority of the territories. They attacked to get the rest and were defeated in a very bloody war. As a result many fled. Many stayed and are a part of Israel to this day, they vote and have representatives in parliament, supreme court etc. The Gaza strip and occupied territories were hel…
"The Jewish State allocated to the Jews, who constituted a third of the population and owned about 7% of the land, was to receive 56% of Mandatory Palestine, a slightly larger area to accommodate the increasing numbers of Jews who would immigrate there."

Protests are infiltrated all the time, so don’t be so cocksure with the cries of “pro hamas”.
