Gaza: Hamas charges three activists for pro-peace video call with Israelis

Sep 27, 2020 8:00 am By Robert Spencer 10 Comments

Yet mainstream analysts in the West still think there will be some way to negotiate a peace agreement with the people who have charged these activists. Find out the truth in The Palestinian Delusion.

“Hamas charges three Gaza activists for pro-peace video call with Israelis,” by Aaron Boxerman, Times of Israel, September 25, 2020 (thanks to Henry):

Hamas military prosecutors on Thursday charged three Palestinian activists in the Gaza Strip with “weakening revolutionary spirit” — a charge that could lead to years in prison — for holding a video conference with Israelis.

Rami Aman, a 38-year-old peace activist and Gaza resident, was detained in early April after holding a public “Skype With Your Enemy” video call in which Israelis participated. He has said his organization seeks to empower young Palestinians and that many in Gaza share his view that speaking to Israelis should not be forbidden.

“If I were to go into the streets and tell people ‘let’s talk with an Israeli,’ thousands of people would be here,” Aman said during the videoconference, which was conducted in English.

According to the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, which is providing legal representation to the defendants, Aman was arrested shortly after the call, along with seven colleagues who also allegedly took part. Five of them were subsequently released.

The activists are members of the Gaza Youth Committee, an organization that sponsors peace-building initiatives. Before Aman’s arrest, the group become a member of the Alliance for Middle East Peace, a coalition of Israeli and Arab nonprofit organizations.

Authorities in Gaza, which is controlled by the Hamas terror group, view “normalizing” with Israelis as a criminal offense. While Hamas does permit merchants and those seeking humanitarian assistance inside Israel to communicate with Israeli authorities, it has cracked down on those who have sought to establish person-to-person ties with Israelis.

“Holding any activity or communication with the Israeli occupation, under any cover, is a crime punishable by law; it is a betrayal of our people and its sacrifices,” Interior Minister Iyad al-Bozm wrote in a Facebook post in April….

      Holy book ?
      I don’t like to sound ignorant but I don’t understand how anyone could follow the teachings of a pedophile dwarf who preached death and destruction or anyone
      with a different view
      It’s the only teaching I know of based on evil

    Hamas doesn’t want peace. They have now made it clear. They want war until extermination of Israel.

    An Israel with even the territory of a phone booth would be too much Israel for them. Any Israel is too much for Hamas.

    Were I a Palestinian barely existing and going hungry most days and then I hear “… it is a betrayal of our people and its sacrifices,” I would think to myself, “our people and its sacrifices.” What sacrifices have you made? You living in your lush apartment or spacious mansion and thousands or maybe millions of dollars in a European bank account, please explain what sacrifice you have endured. Like an incubus mold, you have sucked the vigor from the entire populace that you claim to protect from the evil Jews. I think I would rather be in an Israeli prison than living in this prison ruled by Hamas for at least I would be provided with food and a roof overhead.

      Curious as to the reason a Palestinian has no food in the hamas held area of israel? I thought I saw markets line the street in a video of a visitor.

    The Hamas leadership don’t want to risk anything that might weaken their grip on power and wealth. So they ban anything that might enable the common people from thinking or realizing that the state of Israel is not their enemy.
