In case you were still a little unclear on Hamas meaning to wipe out Israel altogether, a Hamas official went on television to announce that his terrorist organization will commit horrific atrocities like those of Oct. 7 over and over until it achieves the “annihilation” of Israel.
“Israel is a country that has no place in our land,” Hamas official Ghazi Hamad declared on the Middle East's LBC International news network Oct. 31. “We must remove that country.” By which he means Hamas will continue to be an evil terrorist organization. The Hamas terrorist attacks Oct. 7 included the decapitating, mutilating, raping, and burning alive of innocent Israeli men, women, and children, even babies. “We will do this again and again,” Hamad went on. “The Al-Aqsa flood is just the first time and there will be a second, a third, a fourth because we have the resolve and the capabilities to fight.”
The “Palestinians” are an invented “people” with no right to claim Israeli land, the Arabs have rejected their own state for decades in favor of trying to destroy Israel completely, and the Palestinians are controlled by terrorists, particularly Hamas. The Arabs, who started calling themselves Palestinians for the express purpose of undermining Israel, have never intended to have peace with Israel. Jihad, especially against Jews, is endorsed by Islamic scripture. The Palestinian Authority (PA) also financially incentivizes terrorism and the overwhelming majority of Gazan civilians supported war against Israel. There will be no peace for Israel OR Gaza until Hamas is wiped out and Israel is once again in control of the Gaza Strip, which they should never have given to the “Palestinians” to begin with.
And if you think this issue doesn’t affect you, think again. Senior Hamas official Mahmoud Al-Zahar declared last year that “we are not talking about liberating our land alone… the entire 510 million square kilometers of Planet Earth will come under [a system] where there is no injustice, no oppression, no treachery, no Zionism, no treacherous Christianity.” We know that Hamas and Hezbollah operatives and terrorist cells have been in the U.S. for years. Thousands of young men from Muslim countries are pouring into the U.S. through the open southern border on a daily basis. Hamas and its backers like Iran want global jihad.
From PJ Media (you can see the TV clip of Hamad there):
"Will we have to pay a price?" [Hamad] rhetorically asked. "Yes, and we are ready to pay it. We are called a nation of martyrs, and we are proud to sacrifice martyrs."
It wasn't clear from the clip MEMRI posted, but I presume that Hamad was speaking from the relative safety of Doha or Beirut…"The occupation must come to an end," Hamad insisted.
"Occupation where? In the Gaza strip?" the anchor asked.
"No, I am talking about all the Palestinian lands."
"Does that mean the annihilation of Israel?"
Hamad's answer followed without hesitation. "Yes. Of course."
"Nobody should blame us for the things we do."
Hamad tried to claim Hamas didn’t mean to kill civilians, which is utter nonsense. Hamas not only regularly attacks Israeli civilians, but constantly uses its own Palestinian civilians as human shields. Furthermore, Israel has the audio evidence of a Hamas terrorist excitedly relating his exploits in brutally killing Israeli civilians, and another terrorist confessing the kidnapping of women and kids is for the purpose of rape. That’s if the MANY videos Hamas proudly took themselves while committing the atrocities weren’t enough proof for you.
Hamad said what Hamas terrorists have always avowed—they want the “annihilation” of Israel. Cultural imperialists in the West need to start believing terrorists when they openly state their goals.
