It was — is — all about the eradication of Israel, and peaceful coexistence is not part of the plan

/

Hamas is never going to disarm, because its billionaire leaders won’t voluntarily relinquish their power and the opportunity to amass still more wealth, their subjects won’t demand it, and their useful idiots around the world don’t want them to; their existence is entirely dependent on there being war. Oh — they also hate the Jews.

Zohran Mamdani-linked Democratic Socialists of America denounces ‘conditional’ Israel-Gaza cease-fire deal, demands ‘Palestinian liberation’

The Democratic Socialists of America — the organization backing New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani — denounced the “conditional” cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas and called for continued resistance against the Jewish state in a statement released Monday.

The 85,000-member socialist organization said it supports “the end of Israel’s colonization and occupation of all Arab lands,” “equality,” and “the right of all refugees to return to their homes and properties.”

It pledged to “break the gears of the US imperial war machine that enables Israel” and to intensify boycott and divestment campaigns against the Jewish state.

…. Mamdani had called for an end to “occupation and apartheid” in a tardy statement Monday as the living Israeli hostages were returned after two years in Hamas’ captivity. 

“Today’s scenes of Israelis and Palestinians are profoundly moving: Israeli hostages being freed and families reunited after years of fear, uncertainty, and torture; the first days in Gaza without relentless Israeli bombardment of Palestinians as families return to rubble and loved ones freed from detention,” he said. 

… The DSA’s national leadership has also drawn attention for its internal policies on Israel.

At its August convention, the group adopted a resolution threatening to expel members who reject the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign or cooperate with pro-Israel organizations.

The measure reaffirmed the 1977 Palestinian National Council principles known as “al-Thawabit,” which endorse “resistance by any means necessary.”

The DSA said in its statement on Monday that “stability in the region is dependent on Israel and its allies finally being held accountable for their decades-long list of war crimes and imperial aggression.”

It concluded: “Until justice is rendered for all Palestinians, the struggle for liberation continues.”

'Ceasefire Now' People Are Angry at...Ceasefire

David Strom: “There is no angrier group of people in the West right now than the people who have been screaming about Israel committing a "genocide" and about the need for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.”

“,…. The "ceasefire now" crowd never wanted a ceasefire to help Gazans; they wanted it because Israel was winning the war, and they wanted that to stop immediately. They are unhappy because it looks like Israel has won the war for all intents and purposes, and without the fake "genocide narrative," they will lose their leverage. 

With Muslim countries backing the Trump deal, chances are that Hamas is permanently weakened. At least that is their fear. 

Israel will survive, Hamas may not. And that angers them terribly.”
