Resistance Until Victory: A Deeper Look at Hamas' Options Against Israeli Barbarism
The Hamas movement, with its extensive social base, faced criticism from its detractors for continuing to fuel the conflict following Operation Al-Aqsa Storm on October 7, 2023. While opponents of Hamas argue that the movement's steadfast resistance against the Israeli occupation is the primary driver of the atrocities in Gaza, the facts on the ground tell a different story: Despite speculations over an impending truce deal, Israel has committed yet another massacre in Khan Yunis. Observers believe that the latest escalation of violence in Gaza is in fact a direct result of Hamas' diplomatic overtures and readiness to comply with some Israeli conditions during the ceasefire negotiation. This has given Israel the impression that its relentless campaign of slaughter in Gaza is bearing fruit, easing its decision to step up its massacres even further. Thus, the idea of "resistance until victory" is not merely a stirring slogan—it is the only viable strategy for Palestinians against those who understand no language other than brute force and violence.
