Dear Palestinian Resistance Fighters, I hope you let the world know what you are, by taking off your face coverings and letting your hearts tell people why you fight. Perhaps this would save what is left of your people and Palestine. Let the world know you are not what Israel and USA officials say. You do not seem to have the resources to defeat the whole Israel and USA militaries, but you can have the heart to show the truth to the world. ❤❤❤❤

@@sandrad9695 If they were actually attacked, certainly. But the majority of the violence is due to Israeli aggression and attacks. The Palestinians have the same right to defend themselves, their families, communities and homes.

[@sandrad9695]

@@m.r.jarrell3725 O.K. Thanks for answering. Based on your reply, do you consider it as aggression and an attack when these armed Palestinian Arabs going out of their own town and go kill unarmed Israeli civilians? Like the Dee family who were driving home and some of these Palestinian Arab armed “resistance” fighters drove up beside their car and opened fire on the unarmed Israeli women, a mother and her two teenage daughters. All women died. Would you consider that an aggressive and violent attack? I think you probably would. Not being snarky at all. I ask because these are the types of suspects that the IDF is going after when they enter Jenin or other PA-ruled area. The Oslo Accords call for the PA to assist Israel with stamping out terrorism and helping to catch terror suspects. When the PA doesn’t do that, like right now with Abbas being so ill, it makes it harder for Israel to arrest terror suspects and they have to go in with more force. When the PA assists in catching terror suspects as they agreed to in the Oslo Accords, the IDF doesn’t have to use as much force to catch the terror suspects.
