John Aziz is a British Palestinian who made a few very interesting points regardin #Israel #Palestine and #Hamas:
In Israel there’s plenty of vocal supporters of two-state solution, including one of the largest mainstream newspapers. In Palestine, as seen from outside, there’s zero.
But it’s not because there isn’t any, but because freedom of speech in Palestine is non-existent. Aziz himself is a vocal supporter of two-state solution and he says he gets massive positive feedback from Palestine and Palestinian diaspora.
Palestine supporters worldwide need to recognise that “Hamas is an Islamic supremacist organisation” and Aziz says many Western leftists have no clue what that means, and “don’t realise what Hamas does to the LGBT community and non-muslims”.
Hamas definition of “free Palestine” is drastically different from people outside believe. Their goal is not a sovereign, modern and pluralist state of Palestine, but a religious country run by medieval laws and custom,** with no place for any other religions, ethnicit groups or political views.
Aziz further says “Hamas has signed their death warrant on 7th October. You can’t go to any country in the world and start massacring their civilians” and expect anything else than Israel did in response.
Aziz says “Hamas has put us into the stone age”. People say Palestinians just want to work and live in peace, but because of Hamas they don’t even have houses now. Hamas places launchers on people’s houses to fire rockets on Israel, it’s absolutely obvious that Israel will fire back to destroy these launchers.
Aziz comments on some Palestine supporters envisioning it as “the Singapore of Mediterranean” and he says “it’s entirely possible, but only if we have a peace!” He also says that while Fatah is less extreme than Hamas, there has been no elections in Palestine for the last 15 years and none of the existing Palestinian political elites have any democratic mandate, and should be replaced by young people.
