“This is the day of the greatest battle to end the last occupation on earth,” Mohammed Deif, the Hamas military commander said, adding that 5,000 rockets were launched.
What the fuck. Last occupation?
Is that a deliberate anti-Ukraine statement or are they just completely clueless what's happening outside their borders?

Current ongoing occupations include, but are not limited to:
The Israeli occupation of Palestine
The US occupation of Hawaii
The US occupation of Guam
The US occupation of Korea
The US occupation of Turtle Island
The Canadian occupation of Turtle Island
The British occupation of Ireland
The Japanese occupation of Okinawa

I can not find it anywhere in the life blog. Are you sure it wasn't translated/transcribed wrongly?
-
I also cannot find it anymore. Weird that Al Jazeera would bother removing it. You can find the quote elsewhere in that site, though, and in many other sources.

Sometimes quotes get mistranslated and the only people that catch it are the ones for whom Arabic is their mother tongue. AFAIK the Palestinian Arabic dialect has some differences with what journalists at Al Jazeera might be used to.

Maybe it is a similar but different thing for Deif.
Israel has occupied The Gaza strip for decades while Russia is invading Ukraine. Is kind of discounted by the occupation of Crimea but since that is in contest right now, maybe that's not so much an occupation anymore but a war.

You're definitely from reddit if your being pedantic about what a military Commander is saying to rally his cause. "Actshually there are other occupations going on". Also are you really trying to make this about Ukraine??
