The Collins English Dictionary defines Resistance as a "movement fighting for freedom, often secretly or illegally, against an invader in an occupied country or against the country's government" [1]
Palestine is the region that spans from the Mediterranean sea to the Jordan river. It was under British mandate until 1948. Before that pivotal year, Jews, Muslims and Christians lived together and all of them held a Palestinian passport.
Now that we are clear about the aforementioned, let’s pick it up where the Brits left it, shall we?
1948
World War 2 is over. Palestine, under British mandate, is given to holocaust survivors. The US, UK and France stole Palestinian land to create the state of Israel, in order to gain a foothold in the middle east.
CONSEQUENCES: The Nakba (Arabic: النكبة an-Nakbah): the violent displacement and dispossession of more than 750,000 Palestinians along with the destruction of their society, culture, identity and political rights by Zionist militias first followed by the Israeli army.
1967
The Six-day war: Israel fights a coalition of Arab states (mostly Jordan, Egypt and Lebanon) and seizes the remaining Palestinian territories of the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza Strip.
Despite the war being between Arab countries and Israel, those who have lost the most are Palestinians. This war marks the beginning of the longest occupation in modern history (over 50 years) with heavy Israeli military control, separation wall (in Gaza) and an ever growing number of illegal settlements all over Palestinian territories of West Bank and Gaza.
1987
Palestinian imam and activist Ahmed Yassin, after the outbreak of the First Intifada (translates: uprising) against Israeli occupation, founds Hamas, an acronym of its official name: the Islamic Resistance Movement.
This acronym, HMS, was later glossed in the 1988 Hamas Covenant by the Arabic word ḥamās (حماس) which itself means strength, bravery.
2005
Israeli disengagement from Gaza: 21 illegal settlements in the Gaza Strip were dismantled. Israeli settlers and military evacuated from inside the Gaza Strip.
2006
Hamas wins the Palestinian legislative election
2007
Israel start imposing a blockade on Gaza and its population making the strip the largest and most populated open air prison on earth.
Under international law, a blockade is an act of war(regulated by the 1856 Paris Declaration and by Articles 1–22 of the 1909 London Declaration) [2].
CONSEQUENCES: Gaza has been declared war by Israeli occupiers long before October 7th 2023… Based on International law, Gaza armed groups are resistance forces
Following the beginning of the blockade, IDF ( Israel ‘Defense’ Forces) waged several wars on Gaza: 2008–09, 2012, 2014 and 2021… not counting the ongoing 2023 collective punishment.
FACTS:
5,200 Palestinians in Israeli jail before October 7th [3].
Over 5,500 Palestinians were killed from 2005 to OCTOBER 6TH 2023.
The next day, the resistance rose against their occupiers.

OPINION:
I believe Hamas is an ideology, you can't kill an idea. The "tunnel war" hasn't started yet and the resistance forces are fighting behind enemy lines (and still able to fire barrages of rockets to Southern Israel at the moment I'm writing this article ). HAMAS' military infrastructure is nearly intact. The Israeli propaganda machine keeps gaslighting to the world while conducting illegal raids in The West Bank who has become a pressure cooker where a third intifada is looming.
