Israel has been calling Palestinian fighters “terrorists” to justify its slaughter of Gaza.
Breakthrough News journalist, Eugene Puryear, rips this narrative apart, explaining the long history of oppressed and colonized people being demonized and called terrorists and savage to justify the continued occupation of those people.
No different than the Native resistance to American colonization, slave rebellions in the Americas, the Haitian Revolution, Palestinians are resisting Israeli colonialism, not out of bloodlust as the media has portrayed it, but because of decades of land thefts, massacres, second-class citizenship and the denial of the right to return that has persisted for decades.

If you read the Bible, you will note God requested the land of Canaan to be totally cleansed of all people, even their stock, so He could place the Hebrews into that land. So originally it was their land. Only at the time of David or somewhat before, do we hear of the Philistines that David slew the giant.
Also if you follow God’s word you will see that ALL countries who went against Israel whether verbally or physically, have lost. Not in the fight, but back at home where their country suffered along with the people.
A lot you say may well be true, but becareful you do not condemn Israel too much or you and your country will feel the wrath of the Almighty.
He gave that land to HIS people, that has not changed.
