(Gatestone Institute) Amir Taheri - Why did Hamas attack Israel on Oct. 7? The "occupation" claim is out because Israeli occupation of Gaza ended in 2005, and since 2007 Hamas has been in full control of the enclave and its government. The "colonial settlements" claim is equally inapplicable because the last Israeli communities in Gaza were dismantled in 2005 prior to full withdrawal. Between 2005 and the latest Hamas attack, the only "expulsions" that happened in Gaza concerned 20,000 Bedouins kicked out of their villages and grazing areas by Hamas gunmen. The "apartheid" claim is even less credible because there is not a single Israeli living in Gaza to practice it. The claim that Hamas is fighting for a two-state solution is also untrue, as the militant organization has consistently opposed it. Hamas has never hidden its hope for the elimination of Israel in any shape or form. The writer was the executive editor-in-chief of the daily Kayhan in Iran from 1972 to 1979. 2023-10-23 00:00:00Full Article
