Those who have left include Khaled Jibril, son of Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command (PFLP-GC) founder Ahmad Jibril, as well as Palestinian Popular Struggle Front secretary-general Khaled Abdel Majid and Fatah al-Intifada secretary-general Ziad al-Saghir.
Washington, which considers several Palestinian factions to be “terrorist” organisations, last week announced it was lifting sanctions on Syria after earlier saying Damascus needed to respond to demands including suppressing “terrorism” and preventing “Iran and its proxies from exploiting Syrian territory”.
The factions “did not receive any official request from the authorities to leave Syrian territory” but instead faced restrictions and property confiscations, the first Palestinian factional leader said, noting that some factions “were de facto prohibited from operating” or their members were arrested.
The new authorities have seized property from “private homes, offices, vehicles and military training camps in the Damascus countryside and other provinces”, he said.
Lebanon seems like a lost cause. Hezbollah straight rolled over without doing anything when Israel escalated. It was pretty pathetic honestly.
Yemen has filled their role and is stepping up bigtime.
When did Israel ever respected peace deals they didn’t after Arab surrendered they continued to destoy Palestinians villages , they didn’t during Lebanese civil war , they didn’t after 2006 war.
I don’t think Hezbollah is done, i think they could recover after a decade or so . Let’s see how they will perform during this election. The really pathetic side was the Lebanese army , when Israel strike the hurt of the capital it’s no longer about Hezbollah vs Israel
You are right Yemen is the new face of the armed resistance
Israel is still bombing Lebanon and Hezbollah is not retaliating.
Hezbollah had many missiles which they could have aimed at Israel. They did not. They took it and they keep taking it without retaliating.
It is strategically beneficial for Hezbollah to go incognito so it can recover.
Hezbollah and Iran were very calm and calculated with their responses initially, but when Israel started mass bombing the capital there should have been a massive response from Hezbollah, which did not come. Israel had free game to do whatever they wanted and they did.
Israel called the bluff and they massively won. They kept shooting and shooting and nothing came back.
I have to disagree. I thin israel won because they was well prepared inteligence wise. There ia no way for major leadera to be assasinated without spies and traitors
Still with assassinations of their leaders there should have been a retaliation protocol in place. Hezbollah had no red line for retaliation. After Israel realized this they had free game bombing every Lebanese city.
Didn’t israel destoyed most of their stock pile and arm manifacturing facilities. Israel is continuing to murder leaders. I am not an expert but i would expect any defence organization to deal with potential traitors and spies within them, reorganizing themselves secretly so they can recover
Allegedly Hezbollah had thousands of underground missiles ready to fire at Israel.
The problem is that America assigned a new Lebanese president which works together with Israel and the PA to dismantle Hezbollah.
Usually when a certain red line is crossed there should be massive retaliation. When Israel committed their beeper terror attack Hezbollah should have organized a massive counter attack. Instead they allowed Israel to invade Lebanon and basically did nothing to counter Israel.
Even now Israel is bombing Hezbollah during the ‘ceasefire’ and Hezbollah is not retaliating.
I think that Hezbollah is not allowed a big retaliation by Iran. Iran wants to stall as long as possible so they can build up their nuclear arsenal. A large scale escalation which would give America a reason to intervene could ruin their plan. Hezbollah was probably told to not fire back. Though that’s just my assumption.
Uhhh… these assholes are terrorists.
Yeah Italy just rolled over in WWII while Germany fought to the bitter end. Do you think it was better that Germany continued fighting when it was obvious they’d lost because some authoritarian asshole convinced them they should own all of the land they wanted with no more Jews?
Look at the photos of German cities at the end of WWII and look at Gaza. This kind of senseless hatred doesn’t accomplish anything other than getting a lot of people killed.
Palestinians are dying because of the hatred of Hamas and it will accomplish exactly nothing.
They definitely are doing many terrorism acts in fact even groups on old colonial countries did like the Mau Mau and Nana Sahib’s forces in India. So yeah a terrorist group can still be a resistance group.
Do you seriously believe that Israel is not an occupying force from it’s foundation till today and still believe in the whole land belonging to jews? 100 millions died in India to get independence. Don’t tell Palestinians what the do against an occupying force
Yes Israel is occupying Palestine, no disagreement there. But the reason why there’s no end to that in sight is because there’s no Palestinian leadership that will negotiate in good faith.
Many Palestinians have been indoctrinated into a fascist mentality where they’re obsessed over a perceived historical humiliation, believe they deserve the land the history books tell them their ancestors used to have, and are trapped in the vicious cycle of a hate movement which results in them supporting authoritarian psychopaths. Look at what it took to break Germans out of this mentality. I believe Palestinians are people and like the German people, they are capable of getting out of this.
But the hateful rhetoric people in the west are now spewing and the fact that nut-jobs are now joining in on the cycle of violence isn’t helping the Palestinian people. They aren’t gaining anything through terrorism (or violent resistance as you want to excuse it as). Look at the photos of Gaza right now. Do you honestly think “violent resistance” is gaining the Palestinian people anything? Gaza looks exactly like German cities did by the end of WWII. Hatred makes people feel like it’s making them stronger, but in reality it just makes them stupid. The Germans were stupid in WWII just as Palestinians are being stupid right now. But like the German people, they are capable of realizing their hatred makes them stupid and building a peaceful and prosperous society.
