Hamas is currently abiding by the one-sided ceasefire in Gaza. During the "ceasefire" period, more than 500 Palestinians have been killed. But as far as I am aware Hamas has not hit back.
Meanwhile Israeli troops continue to occupy more than half of the Gaza strip and restrict the inflow of aid. Why does Hamas accept such a one-sided "ceasefire"? I assume they realise they can't militarily defeat the Israeli armed forces, which are backed by US imperialism. Similarly, Venezuela can not militarily defeat the US navy, which is blockading its ports. Hence it is offering concessions to foreign capital, presumably hoping that this will lead to the easing of the blockade. The only solution is increased international solidarity, particularly in the US, leading to the cessation of US aid to Israel and the ending of the blockade on Venezuela.
