WORLD WORLDWIDE FRANCE News Journal Update - (en) France, CNT-AIT, #184 - The nationalists will not have our hatred (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 

Ilan Shalif is a fellow anarchist living in Israel. Aged 86, he is the
veteran of the anarchist movement in the region, having evolved from a
Marxist-Leninist Zionist position in his youth to an anarchist position
in 1966, after having understood and concretely seen the impasse of
colonialism. A tireless propagandist of organized anarchism (he
translated Archinov's Platform into Hebrew), actively engaged in the
fight against colonization, he actively participated in the movement of
anarchists against the wall and in the peaceful marches in the village
of Bil'in (see for example: http://cnt-ait.info/2020/02/12/bilin/).

Here is a message that he published on his Facebook page to put things
in their place, beyond all nationalist propaganda, whether from the
Israeli government or Hamas:

"WHAT DO PALESTINIANS REALLY THINK ABOUT HAMAS?

No matter how hard the Zionist propaganda machine tries to blacken all
the people of Gaza, it will not succeed.
The Israeli government fed Hamas - letting it organize, carry out its
humanitarian activities and obtain money from all sources. Moreover, he
probably knew about the coming attack: he allowed Hamas to take the Gaza
Strip, he allowed it to stay in power and to train its fighters. The
Israeli government is therefore also responsible for the October 7 massacre.

Some interesting data on public opinion in Gaza on the eve of the
outbreak of war, taken from an article published on October 25 by the
leading international journal "FOREIGN AFFAIRS".
(https://www.foreignaffairs.com/israel/what-palestinians-really-think-hamas).
It is worth noting two things first:

1. The Gaza poll was conducted on October 6.
2. In the past, sympathy for Hamas has increased as clashes with Israeli
forces have intensified, so if the past is an indicator of the present
and future, it is likely that these numbers have changed a bit. little,
but still interesting.
Here is a summary of some interesting data from this article:

- 73% of Gazans said they preferred peace with Israel to continued
conflict and that they did not share Hamas' ideology aimed at destroying
the State of Israel. The majority (54%) would choose a two-state
solution, 10% would choose an Israeli-Palestinian federation model,
where each side would be independent, but close ties would be maintained
between the parties, and 9% would prefer a common state for the Arabs
and the Jews.

- The day before the war broke out, only 29% of Gazans expressed
confidence in the Hamas government; 72% of Gazans believed that the
Hamas regime was corrupt and did not meet their basic needs.

20% of Gaza residents preferred a military solution, the overwhelming
majority of them supporters of Hamas, or around 15% of the population.
