Palestine Page
Palestine is one of the most severely oppressed nations in the entire world. The oppression is done primarily by the Israeli Zionists who occupy the entire country of Palestine, much of which has been formally stolen and incorporated into the Zionist settler nation of Israel. The rest of Palestine is under either direct military control by Israel, or else under periodic and repeated military attack by Israel.
The Zionists have only been able to seize Palestine in this way with the constant and sustained military and economic support of the capitalist-imperialist powers. Firstly, and beginning in the World War I era, this was primarily with the support of British imperialism. However, since World War II and the official establishment of Israel in 1948, this has been under the primary direction and support of United States imperialism.
Although our sympathies are of course with the Palestinians, who have been the victims of ethnic cleansing and genocide for a great many decades now, BannedThought.net does not take a stand in support of any particular Palestinian party, organization, or any specific Palestinian strategy or program. This is something for the Palestinians themselves to determine. Instead, our goal is simply to bring to light the views and activities of these various organizations, for both the Palestinians and the rest of the world to judge.
Another very good website with lots of regularly updated information about the struggles of the Palestinian people against Zionism is: “The Left Side of the Road” at: https://michaelharrison.org.uk/palestine/. A number of our documents on this website are copied from there.

The Hamas-led Rebellion in Gaza and the Horrendous Israeli Genocide and Utter Destruction of Gaza (2023-2024)
- October 7 [2023] — Al Jazeera Investigations, March 20, 2024, one hour long video now available on YouTube. This is a serious investigation by the Al Jazeera News Agency, which is funded by the Qatari government, and is widely respected around the world for its efforts to uncover the truth about events in the Middle East and elsewhere. In this investigation, it attempts to factually report the events of October 7, 2023, including the focus in the uprising by Hamas against Israeli military installations, but also about the killing by Hamas or its co-participants of hundreds of civilian Israelis and the capture of many civilian hostages. At the same time it seeks to demonstrate that a great many claims about the Hamas-led uprising against the Israeli Zionist oppressors are essentially baseless, including what has turned out to be Israeli government and military lies that those involved in the Hamas rebellion decapitated the heads of babies and committed mass rapes of Israeli women. This report carefully investigates such wild claims and demonstrates that they are Israel propaganda and lies. Even many liberals and people on the left tended to originally believe many of the outrageous lies by the Israeli government about the actions of Hamas and its supporters, and this video is an important effort to rebut and disprove those lies and distortions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0atzea-mPY&ab_channel=AlJazeeraEnglish
