Indonesians were also called 'terrorists' by the Dutch. Let that sink in

Why Hamas is NOT a terrorist group

The framework of international law:

The United Nations (UN) has never declared Hamas a terrorist group. Only certain countries are doing this (USA, EU, Canada and some others), but not international law.

Why? Because Israel is recognized as an occupying power: since 1967 it has occupied Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem by military force. According to International Humanitarian Law, peoples under occupation have the legitimate right to resist, even with weapons, against the occupier.

This is supported by:

- UN resolutions, which recognize the right of all peoples to fight against colonial and foreign occupation.

- Geneva Conventions and the practice of the International Criminal Court (CPI), which do not criminalize armed resistance, provided that the laws of war are respected.

In this frame, Hamas is a political and resistance actor, not a terrorist group.

Judith Butler (American philosopher, Berkeley University): affirmed that “armed resistance under occupation cannot be reduced to terrorism,” and that the debate must include the roots of violence: occupation and colonialism.

Hamas could be criticized for certain acts, but that does not nullify its political legitimacy nor its character as a liberation movement.

Israel has imposed the label of "terrorism" as a propaganda tool to:

1) Prevent the world from talking about occupation and apartheid.

2) Justify massive bombing of civilian population in Gaza.

3) Criminalize any form of Palestinian resistance, whether armed or even peaceful (NGOs, students, journalists).

Calling Hamas a “terrorist” is not a legal fact, it’s a political and media strategy.

Israel, on the other hand, has murdered resistance leaders without trial, demonstrating its contempt for international law.

Palestinian resistance groups are comparable to other anti-colonial movements in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

Hamas is a Palestinian actor with real representation in society, as it won elections in 2006.

The UN has never declared Hamas a terrorist. Israel is an occupying power. And according to international law, resistance against occupation is legitimate. That is not terrorism, it is a people's right to liberate themselves.

We need to end the war now.

Get our troops out of the region, restrain Israel, and focus on economic negotiations to open the SOH—and now the Bab Al Mandeb—or we will face a major energy crisis.

Keep in mind that we could not militarily defeat the Houthis in 2025. We know we can’t militarily defeat Iran now.

We will certainly not be able to defeat both of them simultaneously.

The reality is that we will end up cutting deals at some point. We always do—remember how we exited Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria.

At this point, we know how this plays out. Let’s skip the decades of carnage & cut the deals now.

Tune out the neocons & the Israeli lobby’s tired talking points about WMD—that was bait to get us into this mess. It worked, and look where we’re at: disastrous quagmire, no military solution, our troops in harm’s way all across the region.

Iran currently controls two key energy chokepoints—SOH & BAM. We are better off accepting this and adapting strategically than we are fighting it and losing more. Pulling our troops out tips the scales of leverage in our favor.

Withdraw and reengage diplomatically to resolve the issue in the region that directly impacts Americans: restoring the flow of oil.

President Trump can still declare victory and restore trust with the American people if he has the courage to leave now, before a mass casualty event happens or an economic crisis hits.

That’s why now is the best time to leave & quietly negotiate.

There's been a lot of controversy this World Cup. But no one's been shafted quite like the Iranian team. Here's what folks in Tehran told us.

🚨JUST IN: This is how Argentina fans left Times Square after their team lost the World Cup

[Telegraph Football @TeleFootball]

'Enzo Fernández became only the sixth player to be sent off in a World Cup final (and the third Argentine) and truly, nobody deserved it more.

'This is the man who, in 2024, was mired in a racism controversy when he broadcast a video on Instagram Live showing himself and Argentina team-mates singing a discriminatory chant about France’s players, mocking their African heritage and throwing in a few homophobic slurs.

'The Chelsea co-captain further endeared himself to his adopted land before the final, insisting that he had respect for the English “because everybody who cleans and cooks in our house is English”.'

But in a profoundly chastening final for Argentina, where they were not so much outplayed as emasculated, @oliverbrown_tel says he received his comeuppance at last 👇
