"Osama Hamadan, senior spokesperson of Hamas, has told Al Jazeera that they are not attacking civilians.
“You have to differentiate between settlers and civilians; settlers attacked Palestinians,” Hamdan said.
“We are not targeting civilians on purpose. We have declared settlers are part of the occupation and part of the armed Israeli force. They are not civilians,” Hamadan added.
His remarks came after a number of Western-backed rights groups, including Amnesty International, accused the resistance movement of killing “Israeli civilians” in their retaliatory strikes.
Asked whether civilians in southern Israel were considered settlers, the Hamas spokesman said “Everyone knows there are settlements there.”"
Illegal settlers contribute in equal part to the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians as their armed forces do. The military oppresses and kills the indigenous people and the settlers come in to replace them, to steal their homes and their land. The armed occupation forces cannot be disentangled from the settler population, they are two sides of the same coin.
Armed resistance to apartheid, oppression, occupation and genocide is a fundamental and inalienable human right. The oppressed are not obligated to obey your rules of conduct or your morality in their fight against their oppressor. Palestinian civilians are killed and kidnapped every day by the occupier, where is the international outrage and condemnation for that which has been happening for decades to the Palestinians?
And how can they call the same settlers who just days prior were busy storming the holiest places of the Palestinians innocent bystanders? When settlers themselves often pick up arms against Palestinians when they want to evict them from their homes, and form up in lynch mobs to go and terrorize Palestinian neighborhoods and smash their shops.
And with compulsory military service to the “IDF” is it not these very same “civilians” who have been - and with call-ups of reservists will in the future again be - soldiers for the occupation army?

Ah well that makes sense.

Most Israeli “civilians” are fascists. Kill the fuckers.

settlers should die
the only ones scared of it are settlers themselves
Settlers can bite the dust for all I care, but pissing off would suffice.
The annoying thing is they’ll probably try to ‘settle’ somewhere else, especially since many are flying to the USA
We all know that is a lie.
