Summary: PDP gave a speech in front of US embassy in Seoul and a speech in front of the White House in Washington DC. The speech expressed that only when Palestine is liberated can the conflict be resolved, and that the “US and Israel are one body and it is public knowledge in the whole world that the US aggression forces are behind the indiscriminate bombing and aggression of the Palestinians” and “the imperialist powers led by the United States have turned the world into a powder keg of war” using Zionism in the Middle East, NATO in Europe, Japanese militarism and the formation of an “Asian version of NATO” in Asia, strengthening the war alliance against DPRK and plotting a war in East Asia.
The speech concludes: “the deeper imperialist aggression becomes, the stronger a unity of anti-US independent forces become. The Palestinian people, who seek independence and justice, will defeat the aggressive US imperialist and win their liberation. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!”

We condemn the US imperialist aggression! Free Palestine!
The clash between Hamas and Israel is escalating to all-out war. In the early morning of July 7, Hamas fired thousands of rockets into Israel and its militants infiltrated, reportedly capturing dozens of Israeli soldiers and a number of civilians. In the statement, the Hamas military commander Mohammed Deif said, “Today is the great day to end the occupation. We have decided to put an end to all of the occupation’s crimes. The time is over for them (Israel) to act without accountability,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that “we are embarking on a long and difficult war,” and that “we have begun the offensive, which will continue with neither limitations nor respite until the objectives are achieved.”
Hamas’s armed offensive is fundamentally aimed at freedom and liberation of Palestine. Israel has launched an extensive invasion of Gaza since 2000 to eliminate Hamas, the armed force for Palestinian liberation. Israeli massive air raids in 2008, 2012, and 2014 are just a few examples. More recently, in May 2021, Israel’s violent suppression of Palestinian protesters led to the “11-day war,” in which 242 lives were lost in Gaza, and in 2022, Israel indiscriminately struck Gaza day after day. Israel is also responsible for the routinized pain of the Palestinian people. By blockading all land and sea to Gaza, Israel has turned Gaza into the world’s largest prison. Only when Palestine is liberated can the regional conflict be fundamentally resolved.
The cause of the war is the US imperialist aggression. As soon as the conflict broke out, the US ‘president’ Biden did not hesitate to make most hostile remarks towards Palestine ‘The US stands with Israel’, ‘military to military, intelligence to intelligence, diplomat to diplomatᅳto make sure Israel has what it needs.’ The US and Israel are one body and it is public knowledge in the whole world that the US aggression forces are behind the indiscriminate bombing and aggression of the Palestinians all time. The founding of Israel itself is the result of rob territory by the US and British imperialist after World War II, and the US puts Israel first to invade the Middle East in order to have its hegemony. It’s an undeniable fact that Palestine people are the biggest victims of the US aggressors.
The imperialist powers led by the United States have turned the world into a powder keg of war. The aggressive US imperialist is simultaneously carrying out invasion against anti-US independent states and forces, using Israeli Zionism in the Middle East, NATO in Europe, and Japanese militarism in Asia. In the Middle East, the US aggressors put Israeli Zionists up to murdering the Palestinian people while in Europe, they have been encouraging NATO to expand eastward and trigger war in Ukraine by massacring the Russian people in Ukraine. In East Asia, they are establishing an “Asian version of NATO”, strengthening the war alliance against North Korea and plotting a war in East Asia. Including Iran and Lebanon, Anti-US armed forces’ support for Hamas shows the deeper imperialist aggression becomes, the stronger a unity of anti-US independent forces become. The Palestinian people, who seek independence and justice, will defeat the aggressive US imperialist and win their liberation.
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!
am I the only one not able to see the rest of the comments lol
Apparently, now the entire thread disappears when the initial comment gets removed…? I don’t think it was always like this.
It would be better if it didn’t do that. The inital comment was some liberal denying that the US is the cause of this conflict. Nothing of value is lost by deleting it and banning the user (thanks to afellowkid for taking action, I saw this, but couldn’t properly parse what the liberal was saying at first). But, if I remember correctly, some replies had worthwhile information about exactly how the US causes conflict around the world. It’s unfortunate we lose these, too.
it was a glitch that occurred after federation, it will be fixed soon
For transparency, there were 2 users making comments like this. When I saw the report notifications, I banned one of them but left the other due to the discussion taking place under their comment, intending to keep an eye on whether they would continue to make disrespectful comments or not. The last time I banned and removed some comments the whole threads disappeared too, so I was trying to avoid that, and I thought the discussion might be a beneficial one for others reading if good info was shared. Was planning to ban quickly if the liberal continued being disrespectful. If it wasn’t you who deleted the threads I’m guessing an admin saw additional reports on the posts and took care of it?
Thanks for the correction. I assume it was an admin, then. I hope that they soon fix the issue about entire threads disappearing.
Nope .I can’t see the other 14 comments either
I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Damn I didnt know we were so good at controlling the world and being the source of all conflict that breaks out how neat
You’d be surprised then at how much conflict is the result of, at least in part, US meddling.
I cant deny that, Im just saying that some people have more faith in the abilities of my govenrment than I do one way or another. Its not like I can deny involvement, especially with things like Yemen as a good recent example, but this conflict has been raging for thousands of years so I dont think we can claim a majority of responsibility.
The modern state of Israel and Hamas (funded by that state) have existed for thousands of years?
It feels disingenuous to say “this conflict” has been going on for thousands of years when it was not by any means the same parties 100 years ago.
I don’t think Israel ever funded Hamas though (at least it’s not mentioned), but rather nurtured the conditions for it…
PLO operatives in the occupied territories faced brutal repression at the hands of the Israeli security state.
Meanwhile, the activities of Islamists affiliated with Egypt’s banned Muslim Brotherhood were allowed in the open in Gaza — a radical departure from when the Strip was administered by the secular-nationalist Egyptian government of Gamal Abdel Nasser. Egypt lost control of Gaza to Israel after the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, which saw Israel also seize the West Bank. In 1966, Nasser had executed Sayyid Qutb, one of the Brotherhood’s leading intellectuals. The Israelis saw Qutb’s adherents in the Palestinian territories, including the wheelchair-bound Sheik Ahmed Yassin, as a useful counterweight to Arafat’s PLO.
Israel’s military-led administration in Gaza looked favorably on the paraplegic cleric, who set up a wide network of schools, clinics, a library and kindergartens. Sheikh Yassin formed the Islamist group Mujama al-Islamiya, which was officially recognized by Israel as a charity and then, in 1979, as an association. Israel also endorsed the establishment of the Islamic University of Gaza, which it now regards as a hotbed of militancy. The university was one of the first targets hit by Israeli warplanes in the [2008-9 Operation Cast Lead].
Remind me again of that Global News.cn editorial cartoon about the USA placing terrorists in the city, and flattening it to get rid of their own problem… but with Israel and Hamas…
They straight up admitted to doing it though
https://theintercept.com/2018/02/19/hamas-israel-palestine-conflict/
The thing is, though Avner Cohen may have helped prop up Hamas, but it doesn’t say any details, specifically such as about the amount of budget given to finance and arm it…
And believe I say I checked many of the other sources inside the article that are directly related to it… until then, I can only suspect it might be but not certainly be the case…
Note: all of these sources embedded in the article don’t mention it, including the ones that linked to the Washington Post’s “How Israel helped create Hamas” and the original WSJ article “How Israel helped to spawn Hamas”…
Another guy who can attest to letting Hamas’ influence spread around just said this…
Mr. Harari, the military intelligence officer, says this and other warnings were ignored. But, he says, the reason for this was neglect, not a desire to fortify the Islamists: “Israel never financed Hamas. Israel never armed Hamas.”
Even if they did no direct propping up at all of Hamas, their policies in terms of how they treated Palestinians, the PLO, etc., more than sufficed to make up the difference.
From a Congressional Research Service report:
Israel is the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign assistance since World War II. Successive Administrations, working with Congress, have provided Israel with assistance reflective of robust domestic U.S. support for Israel and its security; shared strategic goals in the Middle East; a mutual avowed commitment to democratic values; and historical ties dating from U.S. support for the creation of Israel in 1948. To date, the United States has provided Israel $158 billion (current, or noninflation-adjusted, dollars) in bilateral assistance and missile defense funding. At present, almost all U.S. bilateral aid to Israel is in the form of military assistance; from 1971 to 2007, Israel also received significant economic assistance.
Almost all current U.S. aid to Israel is military assistance. U.S. military aid has helped transform Israel’s armed forces into one of the most technologically sophisticated militaries in the world (see “Qualitative Military Edge (QME)”). U.S. military aid also has helped Israel build its domestic defense industry, which now ranks as one of the top global arms exporters.
This was not thousands of years ago:
On November 29, 1947, the United Nations voted to partition the British colony of Palestine: 55% for a Jewish state, 44% for an Arab state, and 1% for an international zone. In true colonialist fashion, there was no consultation with the Palestinians before the vote.
Most of the two million residents of Gaza are refugees and their descendants (who also have refugee status), driven from other parts of Palestine in 1948. Altogether, more than 750,000 Palestinians were expelled in 1948-49 to make way for the creation of the Israeli state. Another 300,000 were driven out after the Six Day War in 1967. Today, there are seven million registered Palestinians refugees, many still living in 59 refugee camps in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, the West Bank and Gaza. None have ever been allowed to return to their stolen homes, farms and shops, in blatant violation of their rights.
Plan Dalet escalated the level of violence directed against the Palestinian civilian population to an extreme. A typical operation carried out by Zionist military units would involve planting explosives around Palestinian houses in the middle of the night, drenching them with gasoline and then opening fire.
The US’s extensive backing of Israel is described in this article:
The United States financially supported Israel from as early as the 1950s. The 1967 Arab-Israeli war was a watershed event in the region’s history when Israel captured massive amounts of Palestinian territory and expanded into Syria.
More than 35,000 Arabs were killed, many of them burned to death by Pentagon-supplied napalm bombs. Ninety thousand Syrians and Palestinians were driven out of the Golan region of Syria. This war revealed to U.S. leaders that Israel could be a highly-effective weapon against Arab and Palestinian liberation struggles.
Israel receives $3.8 billion in military aid from the United States every year — a sum that is also a subsidy for the U.S. weapons industry, which Israel is required to purchase the weapons from. While more and more countries around the world join the consensus that Israel is an apartheid state, U.S. diplomatic support remains a vital lifeline. Put simply, Israel could not and would not exist without unilateral U.S. economic, political and military support.
I suggest watching this documentary to understand more about Gaza in particular.
Here’s a new post countering this if you want more:
Hey quick question what’s the origin story of the country in the headline of this article?
Classic lib tactic:
If someone says the US is behind a certain conflict, just pretend they said the US is behind every conflict. Now no one can disagree when you cleverly tell them off! Foolproof!
How could you have missed that? Have you been living under a rock?
Be the America Asia thinks we are
Pretty disgusting of you to make light of the numerous atrocities committed and backed by the US throughout Asia
