Disclaimer: We denounce violence and terrorism of any kind, anything shared is purely for journalistic purposes.

This includes Hamas, Hezbollah or any group that is recognized as a terrorist organization by the EU and the United States.

We denounce all of them strongly and without reservation. I am NOT just saying this to prevent getting banned by them.

Really, it's true.
