Debunking the Idea That Palestinians are Oppressed Freedom Fighters

Have you ever heard the following before? Terrorist attacks are only committed by “uneducated, oppressed Palestinians” who are trying to be free from the “Israeli Occupation”. Sorry to bust your bubble, but that’s not actually the case. The level of education received is not the determining factor when it comes to terrorists murdering or attempting to murder innocent Jews in cold blood. In addition, their sheer hate for the Jewish people also blinds them to the point that they even kill their own people. The debunking of this myth will prove that the seething malice these individuals possess for the Jewish people harms not only the Jews, but also results in the senseless deaths of the same people they claim to be fighting for.

Some of These Terrorists Are More Educated Than 85% of Americans.

On January 7th, a terrorist attack took place on the road between Ofra and Psagot, two Jewish villages in Samaria. According to i24 News, after the attack, three individuals were apprehended; two of them were employed as doctors and the other as a nurse. To provide some context, to become a doctor in the United States you must attend a minimum of eleven years of college education, but to contrast this, the number of Americans who possessed a master’s degree (eight years) or higher in 2021 was only 14.4% according to the United States Census Bureau. This means that two of the terrorists involved in the attack, (which, by the way, took the life of an Arab-Israeli citizen), were more educated than 85.6% of Americans aged 25 and older.

As another example, on January 7th, 2023, two Al Jazeera journalists were killed and multiple others injured while riding in the car with a terrorist who was operating a drone that was putting Israeli soldiers at risk. The two journalists killed were known members of Gaza-based terrorist groups. One was a deputy squad commander of Hamas’ Gaza City Brigade and the other a member of the electronic engineering unit of the PIJ (Palestinian Islamic Jihad). These journalists may not have been the operators of this specific drone, but they did possess enough knowledge and a career that gave them the ability to, not only avoid affiliating themselves with terrorists, but also to avoid being terrorists themselves.

Unfortunately, none of this should be new knowledge for the public; it has been proven time and time again that doctors have been implicit in terrorist activities operating within their own hospitals, and teachers have been implicit in terrorist activities that have been taught within the very curriculums that have been propelled into the ears of Arab children whilst terrorists build tunnels underneath the same schools. 

Who Are Some of These Highly “Uneducated” Individuals?

Many of the individuals committing these abhorrent deeds are not mindless, incompetent foot soldiers; they are educated, calculated killers with no reverence for life.

  • Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas, had attended a United Nations run school and then later graduated from Islamic University with a bachelor’s degree in Arabic Literature in 1987. 
  • Khaled Mashal, the former leader of Hamas, graduated with a bachelor’s of science degree in Physics from Kuwait University.
  • Salh al-Arouri, Hamas’ second-in-command prior to his death, graduated from Hebron University with a bachelor’s degree in Islamic Sharia.

These men who hold these positions of power and influence were and are intelligent enough to have used their knowledge to choose peaceful paths. The issue, however, is not that these calculated killers are uneducated; the issue is that it has been instilled in the minds of these individuals to murder the Jewish people and steal the Land of Israel by any and every means necessary: even to the point of causing their own brethren to suffer. They have chosen to use their knowledge to design elaborate plans of violence and evil and, in many cases, only became more radicalized and more vile during their time of higher education. The “Israeli Occupation and oppression that hinders the ability of the Palestinians to receive proper education” does not exist and has never been the reason for them murdering innocent Jewish civilians. The cause is that they have been taught from their youth to steal, kill, and destroy the very essence of Jewish life.

    • The Palistinians don’t fight for any good cause, they fight to kill, all the Jews and they themselves said after the Jews they want to kill all Christians in the world. They are from the devil….

  • I am more and more frustrated at the rampant lies and “bent” of the news media. Even Fox News this morning talked about the ongoing war against the Palestinians, not even mentioning the terrorist attacks against Israel. Sick of our government under the leadership that is pushing us toward self destruction while supporting terrorism all over the globe. I pray for change in November, both for us and for the world.

    • I have no confidence in any change in November. It is all a show. Dont be deceived. God is not mocked. There will be an October surprise just as always. There will be cheating and the chosen person instilled into place. Maybe to urge us into civil war. But he who lives by the sword will die by the sword. The only change will be the coming of Messiah. Do not put your hopes or trust in man. And there are do so many psy ops that we cannot trust any of them. All to draw our attention away from our true King. Draw nearer to Him. Hide in the shelter of His Moedim. That is where we will be safe. God bless and keep you. But our help comes from above.

  • The terrible truth for Jew haters, of whatever race or greed, is that Jews in this century will not submit to pogroms and are able to strike back in full measure. Most frustrating but there you are!

  • We are stronger knowing God is in control. Our God in his perfect timing. will end what has already been decided. His Word is clear. Every Knee shell bow and ever tongue confess.

  • The so called ‘palestinians’ is an epitome for the worst humanity can offer. Er, sorry, they are not humans, sub-human filth. I don’t want to offend any animals.

  • Such a good perspective of the so called Palistinian cause. These people are pure evil. Our foreign minister, who is left wing just went into the so called West Bank and gave them even more of our hard earned money. The only requirement was that they must spend it wisely. (what a joke) we all know where that money will go. It is so frustrating when you don’t vote these people in and you see them doing unbelievable things like that.
