On Saturday, October 7, the Palestinian Hamas organization launched a profound anti-colonial military offensive against the brutal illegitimate settler state of Israel after 75 years of genocidal colonial occupation of the Palestinian people on their own stolen land. Hamas forces broke through the border fences that kept Arabs in the Gaza strip in a literal open air prison. The illegitimate state of Israel has now locked down the 2.3 million Palestinians in the Gaza strip without electricity, food and water in an attempt to achieve Israeli genocidal aims to wipe the Arab population out.
