29 Apr 2026 – <\/em>I asked myself a simple question:\u00a0Who is trying to protect the Palestinians whose lands and homes are being stolen and destroyed by means of Israeli overwhelming military force?\u00a0Since the Nakba catastrophe in 1948, in year after year it is Israel who is the primary guilty party using violent force to exterminate the Palestinians while the Palestinians try to fight back.<\/p>\n

WHO ARE THE FREEDOM FIGHTERS? Beside Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah and Yemen’s Houthis, who else fights for the Palestinians’ right to their homes, land, life and freedom?\u00a0(See AI’s response to my question via Co-pilot at the end of this article.)<\/p>\n

Israel is guilty of genocide in Gaza, yet is using the same crushing blows to take over the West Bank, while also attacking Lebanon and Iran. (The US government is helping in this international criminal undertaking with financing, military intelligence and weaponry.)<\/p>\n

From the Palestinian victims’ viewpoint I keep seeing Israel as a terrorist, rogue state with the Israel Defense Force (IDF) as its terrorist army along with the Mossad as its terrorist gestapo, — all supported generously by USA politicians (bought by AIPAC) and fundamentalist American Christians yearning for Armageddon.<\/p>\n

So I ask myself what my friends and I would do if outsiders came and stole our lands, forced us out of our homes, and took over our neighborhood just like the Israeli settlers are doing violently in the West Bank.\u00a0(Just like our ancestors did with the American Indians.)<\/p>\n

My answer, if my neighborhood was invaded, is that there is a likelihood that we would fight back, just like the Palestinian fighters Hamas and Hezbollah do. While Israel and western Media call them “terrorists”, my hunch is that Palestinians consider them to be heroic “freedom fighters.”<\/p>\n

So why does the mainstream media routinely treat Israel like it is the “good guy,” and treat Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah as the bad guys? It appears to be the case that the reason can be found in<\/p>\n

powerful Zionist forces who “own” the US government, control much of American media, and are in control of much of Big Money including many international banks and corporations.<\/p>\n

How is this control accomplished? Through a wealthy and cunning Israeli lobby able to buy politicians (eg, via AIPAC), or blackmail them via the Epstein\/Maxwell Mossad honey pot sex operation — which could explain why Donald Trump went to war against Iran, likely ordered to do so by his Israeli handlers.<\/p>\n

I ASKED\u00a0AI COPILOT<\/u> FOR SOME NAMES OF THOSE SUPPORTING PALESTINE. BELOW IS COPILOT’S ANSWER:\u00a0 ( Copilot for an unknown reason did not list IRAN or Yemen’s Houtis in the primary list of supporters.)<\/p>\n

“Roger, here\u2019s the clearest, structured picture of who actually acts \u2014 in different ways \u2014 to defend, support, or advocate for Palestinians, beyond the armed groups you named. I\u2019ll keep this focused on state actors, armed actors, and non\u2011military defenders, because ‘freedom fighters’ can mean very different things depending on whether we\u2019re talking about military force, diplomacy, or legal action.”<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Armed or quasi\u2011armed actors claiming to defend Palestinians<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These groups frame themselves as protectors of Gaza or Palestine, though their roles, legitimacy, and international recognition vary widely.<\/p>\n
