Palestinians Have a Legal Right to Armed Resistance against Israeli Colonialism
International law clearly shows that the Palestinian people have a legal right to armed struggle against Israeli colonialism, just as South Africans did against apartheid.

Did Hamas Just Give Israel a Dose of its Own Medicine?
In a surprise move Hamas launched a massive rocket attack on 6 October on various Israeli targets in the illegally blockaded Gaza Strip and made incursions through the border wire into nearby Israeli communities such as Sderot.

Peace Comes with Justice, not War
