Pro-Palestinian Activists

They believe they are supporting the struggle to liberate Palestine from the Israeli invaders. In reality, the Palestinians' motivations are essentially religious: according to Hamas, Palestine is a waqf (an Arabic term also used in banking), a trust. Palestinians are not its owners, but merely its custodians. Therefore, just as a bank cannot dispose of the deposits entrusted to it, Palestinians cannot renounce even the smallest portion of that land without committing sacrilege.

Jewish fundamentalists (Haredim) take the same position: they would consider it sacrilegious to give up even the smallest portion of the land that God assigned to the Israelites.

The Haredim are the Jewish equivalent of Hamas and similar groups.
