The ANC didn't liberate South Africa with a cute hunger strike in prison.
Isn't it weird that I can't find any western media outlets reporting this? Super weird right, I just can't figure out why.
Democracy Now has a good segment on it
I wouldn't say any, but I did find two UK-based.
I'm just wondering if this is really a priority to report on its own.
It's the second most powerful and influential nation in the world saying the Palestinian armed resistance is completely valid.
Yes it's a priority report.

cannot be equated with terrorism
The only terrorists here are the "israeli" militants.
Why is “Israeli” in quotes?
Cuz words like that are usually used for countries, while "israel" is just a western colony in Palestine.

I do not support the current actions of the Israeli government but it is wildely disingenuous to believe that the "only terrorists here" are the Israeli. The Hamas are also terrorists.
They attacked, killed, beat, and in all likelyhood tortured and raped unarmed civilians. They have previously publically stated that their goal is to exterminate all Jews. They are terrorists with genocidal goals.
I don't support the current actions of the Israeli government in Palestine, but every time I see thee posts they are very one sided. Amidst those who oppose Israel and also oppose violence and genocide from both sides, often hide pure anti-semites who are using this opportunity to push for the extermination of all Jews. Neither that nor the current actions of Israel are acceptable.
I can't believe this comment sating that the "only" terrorists are the Israeli has gotten so many upvotes.

BREAKING: HAMAS OFFICIAL STATEMENT
We appreciate the position expressed by the People's Republic of China, during the public hearings held by the International Court of Justice, on the legal consequences of the occupation policies in the Palestinian Territory, and its affirmation of the legality of the occupied peoples' pursuit of self-determination, by various means, including armed resistance, and the necessity not to confuse terrorism with And the armed struggle practiced by the Palestinian people against the Zionist occupation.
We also value the positions of the countries participating in the sessions, which confirmed the widespread violations of international law practiced by the terrorist occupation entity against the Palestinian people and their occupied land, including massacres and genocide in the Gaza Strip, violations, killing, and expansion of settlement in the West Bank and Jerusalem, and work to bring about demographic changes in the Palestinian land. It aims to Judaize her and tamper with her identity.
The terrorist occupation government’s boycott of the court sessions confirms once again its disregard for international institutions, and its policy of turning its back on international resolutions and commitments, which requires a clear position from the international community to end the rogue Zionist occupation, and to stop all its violations and crimes against our Palestinian people.
They're like, hey, China, feel free to use our horribleness to cover your own.
I thought China was on team Israel. Or maybe I'm confused because they're helping Russia, and Russia is on team Israel? International politics is weird sometimes.
Russia joined Iran last season when Iran started helping them in Ukraine, so they're def. Team Hamas.
Who told you that? The only one who is still on Israel's side is the US
