What's In A Name?

Does it matter what the group that resists Israel's unlawful armed occupation of Palestinian land is called?

End the occupation and there will be no need for armed resistance groups of any name.

If the Gaza strip had full access to it's sea ports and land border with Egypt and there was NO interference in Gaza'a internal affairs by the State of Israel and despite that, they (Hamas) attacked Israel, then you would have had the full sympathy of the International community. As it was, the citizens of Gaza had no unfettered access to their land and sea borders before October the 7th and the State of Israel most certainly was meddling in their internal affairs and oppressing civilians. That situation has only got worse, not better since then, with Palestinians living in dire humanitarian circumstances that NO human beings should be forced into. Until the Palestinians get their dignity and their right to self determination under the flag of their own State, the Palestinian problem will never be resolved, except through Genocide and Ethnic cleansing but we (the International community) must NOT allow that.

There lies the problem with ALL Israel's Zionist leaders, ruling or in opposition. They are NOT talking about ending the unlawful occupation but instead only talking about defeating any groups (Hamas Hezbollah etc) that are resisting that unlawful occupation.

Quite frankly, just like it's none of Hamas's business which (mostly Zionist) political parties run Israel, it's none of Israel's business what political parties run a free and sovereign Palestine. If Palestine's political leaders wish to designate Hamas as terrorists, then that's up to them but has NOTHING to do with Israel, they should concentrate on running their own affairs. Yes Israel (like everyone else) has the right to defend itself but only if it's an unprovoked attack from a sovereign State, NOT from an armed resistance group that it is unlawfully occupying and oppressing!
