Israel actively arming illegal settlers while condemning Hezbollah and Hamas

Israel’s Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir has authorised residents of Jewish neighbourhoods in Jerusalem (Al-Quds) and Kfar Saba (Kafr Saba) to carry firearms. Meanwhile, the illegal terrorist state is calling for the disarmament of Hezbollah and Hamas. The hypocrisy is astounding.

Israel is making it easier for Israeli Jews to kill Palestinians and any non-Jewish person they want to. A nation of bigoted sociopaths. https://t.co/UcmOtTHA1J

Israel furthering apartheid

Residents of 41 Jewish neighbourhoods in the city can now apply for a licence to carry a gun.

Of course, Muslim residents of Jerusalem are not able to carry guns. There’s a word for that.

If you live in a Jewish neighborhood of Jerusalem, you are now eligible to receive a gun permit.

If you live in a Palestinian neighborhood of Jerusalem, you are not eligible.

Not so complicated after all, it’s called apartheid https://t.co/hK4WXLvz0h pic.twitter.com/mln6JNpZM7

Terrorist Ben Gvir claimed that during the war and Ramadan, Jerusalem residents have a “basic right to defend themselves”

But the existing gun holders already cannot tell the difference between a legitimate military target and a toddler.

300,000 extra guns in the hands of genocidal maniacs (who dont know how to shoot) …. The existing gun holders cant tell the difference between a baby and a uniform https://t.co/AwMGWJflwz

Previously, Israeli police investigated Ben Gvir’s office for illegally approving gun licenses.

Effectively, 300,000 illegal Israeli settlers will now be walking around armed. Obviously, the announcement is raising concerns about safety and domestic violence.

But importantly, Israel has regularly called for the disarmament of Hamas, Iran, and Hezbollah.

But why should they, when Israel is actively arming its illegal settlers?

In recent weeks, Israeli settlers backed by the IDF have terrorised Palestinians in the West Bank. This included settlers murdering a Palestinian-American man.

You can have a gun in Jerusalem.

But you have to be Jewish.

Read that again.

Yep – guns based on religion. And this is as Jewish terrorist gangs are murdering families every day.

Blatant and sickening apartheid.

We must not play Israel in football and normalise this. https://t.co/xWWimntnwy

In total, Israeli settlers have murdered six Palestinians across the West Bank over the past 11 days, according to the United Nations.

But even before Israel’s unprovoked attacks on Iran, settlers were already terrorising Palestinians. In 2025, illegal settlers injured more than 830 Palestinians.

You know why they weren’t allowed guns before, because they’d just loot and shoot each other too. He knew his people are lunatics, but now he wants to unleash that hell onto already suffering Palestinians https://t.co/jcDesm4MSV

One rule for them…

But all of this is incredibly two-faced – seeing as though Palestinians, Iranians, and Lebanese people are not allowed to defend themselves. And, if they dare do so, the West labels them as terrorists.

Most of the West has labelled Hamas and Hezbollah as “terrorists”. And Israel has repeatedly called for both to disarm and disband.

But both literally only exist because of Israel’s repeated invasions of sovereign nations.

Hezbollah was formed in 1982 after Israel illegally invaded Lebanon. 

Hezbollah’s main foundational goal was to fight the Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon. The group’s resistance to Israeli occupation was instrumental in the IDF leaving Lebanon in 2000, after 18 years.

Similarly, Hamas’s goal is to:

liberate Palestine and confront the Zionist project.

Hamas was founded in Gaza in 1987 shortly after the start of the first Intifada, an uprising against Israel’s occupation of Palestine.

The group holds armed resistance to occupation as one of its founding principles, with its 2017 Document stating:

Resisting the occupation with all means and methods is a legitimate right guaranteed by divine laws and by international norms and laws.

And Hamas is correct in its interpretation of international law.

Armed resistance is not illegal under international law. A United Nations General Assembly resolution states:

The General Assembly,

Reaffirms the legitimacy of the struggle of peoples for independence, territorial integrity, national unity and liberation from colonial domination, apartheid and foreign occupation by all available means, including armed struggle;

Israel and the West have labelled both Hezbollah and Hamas as ‘terrorist groups’ and called for their disarmament – when they’re only defending the land they are native to.

Meanwhile, the same entities don’t question Israeli settlers carrying guns to terrorise indigenous people. The same people who have no historical ties to the land are mainly allergic to olive tree pollen, and whose government has banned them from taking DNA tests to prove their ancestry.
