“Free Palestine from Hamas – The Real Solidarity with the People of Palestine” is a bold, unflinching, and deeply human exploration of one of the world’s most enduring conflicts — and a prophetic call for a new kind of solidarity that goes beyond slogans, hashtags, and headlines.
Drawing from historical evidence, biblical insight, political analysis, and on-the-ground realities, Thabo Mahlobo takes readers on a transformative journey through the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict — exposing the truth about Hamas’s rise, its ideology, and its devastating impact on the very people it claims to defend.
 
Far from being a simple tale of oppression and resistance, this book dismantles the myths surrounding Gaza and reveals how Hamas has weaponised suffering, hijacked the Palestinian cause, and turned one of the most legitimate struggles for self-determination into a perpetual cycle of violence and despair. Mahlobo argues passionately that true solidarity with the Palestinian people means standing against tyranny — both external and internal — and working toward a future defined not by terrorism or hatred, but by dignity, democracy, and peace.
 
Through deeply researched chapters, the book uncovers:
The historical roots of the land called Palestine and the evolution of the modern Palestinian identity.
How Hamas’s ideology, propaganda, and violent methods undermine peace, human rights, and the Palestinian dream.
The global and regional dynamics — from the UN and ICJ to Arab states and Western powers — that shape the conflict.
Repeated offers of statehood that Palestinian leadership rejected — and what this means for the two-state solution.
A vision for a “Free Palestine” that liberates both the land and the people from violence, extremism, and manipulation.
 
But this is more than a geopolitical analysis — it’s also a deeply personal story. Written after Thabo Mahlobo’s own journey through the Middle East, it is a prophetic reflection on what peace could look like when we choose to become peacemakers — as the Beatitudes command — rather than passive observers. It is a heartfelt appeal to Christians, Muslims, Jews, and people of all nations to build bridges instead of barriers and to stand with both Israelis and Palestinians in their shared humanity.
 
Powerful, challenging, and hopeful, Free Palestine from Hamas is not a book about taking sides. It is about taking a stand — for truth over propaganda, peace over terror, and a future where Gaza is no longer a prison, but a place of possibility. It is a call to dream of a Middle East beyond war, where a free Palestine and a secure Israel coexist, and where both peoples can finally flourish side by side.
