The Palestinian armed group Hamas said on Tuesday that it sent a high-level delegation to Russia and held talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
In an interview published on Hamas’ website, Saleh al-Arouri, deputy head of Hamas’ political bureau, said party leaders visited Russia and met Lavrov and that the visit was a reflection of Hamas’ weight among major global powers.
"The leadership of the movement visited Moscow and met Sergey Lavrov. It was an important visit that highlights the role of the movement with many global actors," Arouri said. He added that there might be another international Hamas trip "in the coming weeks." Arouri did not specify when the visit to Moscow took place, saying only that it happened "recently."
Commenting on the increasing Israeli attacks against Palestinians ahead of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, Arouri said the movement’s “patience is running out.”
Israeli-Palestinian tension has been rising in the West Bank as Israeli raids have intensified, leading to US warnings about the security situation. Israel has accused several West Bank groups including the Lion’s Den of being backed and funded by Hamas.
Meanwhile, Russian-Hamas relations have steadily grown. Russia has sought to increase its role in the Palestinian reconciliation dossier, with some Palestinians hoping it will break the US monopoly over the file that has been stalled for more than a decade.
Hamas officials have made several visits to the Russian capital, most recently in September of last year.
Moscow’s public support for Hamas also comes as its relations with Israel soured following its invasion of Ukraine last year. Israel has maintained a cautious stance in the war, but Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen’s February visit to Kyiv marked a small shift as Israel grows more concerned about Moscow-Tehran military cooperation and the use of Iranian drones in Ukraine.
No Arab state recognized UN Res 181.
The British withdrew from their Mandate and declared they wouldn't enforce the UN mandate
BUT, it's all about who can hold it. More settlements, puppet governments that allow sale of land to Israelis, etc.
His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.
Israel is actually in violation of the Geneva Conventions by occupying land "illegally", but really who cares?
Just read that Israel is now relaxing its stringent gun control laws.
I have heard a good point made, the people and locations where Israelis were murdered, they probably aren't coming back.
That is what the Hamas terrorists want.
Yeah we give about the same as in the 1980's, about $3.8 billion annually.
Yep, Israels GDP is about $488 billion. Don't get me wrong, they ain't gonna say no to free money, but it ain;t gonna make or break 'em.
So $3-4B loss would mean a some small mix of spending cuts or tax increases, about 3-4% of the budget, but far from the killing blow that detractors think it will be.
"If only Richard Nixon hadn't held us Pakistanis back in 1971, we Mighty Pakistanis would have been in Delhi in a day!" levels of delusion.

"Harden your Heart, Oh Putin"
Note to skeptics: I got this from a thread full of Arabs, and none contested the translation and were cheering the sentiment.
Also fun fact: If you think the Sufis are the peaceful, mystical version of Islam, guess what many Chechens practice?
It's a PR war, where each side seeks to claim to be the bigger victim, and provokes or allows atrocities for that reason.
It is not solvable. The only certain thing is that saying "Look at these atrocities and not those" is what both sides want.

As for Folke Bernadotte, he was assassinated by Lehi extremists. One of the first acts of Israel after winning Independence was to charge the assassins, who were sentenced to prison with Irgun and Haganah generals testifying that their assassinations and attacks hindered the Cause. They were sentenced to years in prison but then a general amnesty for all political militants was passed. Their party got 1.2% of the vote and that was the end of that.
The best thing about the Internet bypassing the past is harder and harder.
The usual suspects are whinging about Gaza being bombed, but the images of the dead Dancers, kidnapped people, and the house-to-house slaughter is too fresh for people to buy the usual Pallywood Hamasbara.
"b-b-but, a buncha settlers yelled and screamed on the Temple Mount after months of harassment by Arabs back in the summer. Nobody died. That justified gunning down 1000 civilians!"
Nobody gives a fuck, no matter how much Mehta on PMSNBC or George Takei or Labourtards whinge.
Now, was Palestian's land stolen or not?
gaza was outside of the kingdoms of judah and israel
Makes sense to me. I read, just today, that the Palestinian are not only landlocked but all borders are closed to an extent they cannot even leave. I assume that's why so many are calling Palestine an open air prison. Even if they attempt to leave by sea, the Israelis shoot to kill past 3 miles (maybe it's more. maybe less). This sounds really bad. It's no different than provoking someone to attack you imo. Now, was Palestian's land stolen or not?
Oh bullshit. Yitzhak Shamir was one of the triumvirate that ordered the murder of Bernadotte. He was part of Lehi at the time, and the 7th prime minster of Israel.
Once a terrorist, always a terrorist, that's what Israel claims - when it's convenient to them. He was a terrorist.
BSD (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) are literally illegal in many of the states in the US, and any criticism of Israel is called "antisemitism"
adolph hitler and the nazi party at one time were major zionists based on his involvement with the haavara agreement
The Nazis decided to collaborate with the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, a Bosniak Muslim imported by Turkey in the late 19th along with others to try to repopulate the deserted province.
Freedom Fighter.
Nope. It's illegal for the Woke Administrators of State Schools, Departments, etc. to practice BDS. States have a right to forbid their employees from considering which countries they will boycott as Administrators.
You can check this for yourself in Google map.

You can check this for yourself in Google map.
Google maps are updated one every year, 6 months at the most. You won't see the damage until then and Google blurs the images of Gaza, the West Bank and Israel so you cannot see the economic disparity. They've been doing this for over 15 years.
I remember when I could see the difference over the wall, not it's just a smudge.
No they don't!
If I didn't want to buy shit from Russia, or China, that's my right. God, how duplicitous are you?
If I have a problem with, say Georgia, I can boycott them as well. Bunch of left retards did that a few years ago.
Stop having dual standards, and have consistent ones. It doesn't matter if people agree with your opinions, what matters if they are free to do what they want, even if you disagree with them. Tired of you fascist cunts.
