Hamas Leader: We Need the Blood of Women, Children, Elderly. Hamas Official: Protecting Gaza Civilians Responsibility of the U.N. and Israel.
If one ever needed proof that leaders with this mentality should never be in control of a state, this is it.
Hamas leader Isamil Haniyeh on October 26, 2023 delivered an address to all the “free people of the world” to stop the bombing of Gaza, which he referred to as the “new holocaust.” He said: “The blood of the women, children and elderly […] we are the ones who need this blood, so it awakens within us the revolutionary spirit, so it awakens within us resolve.”
The address was aired on Mayadeen Network (Lebanon), and other TV networks:
Hamas official Mousa Abu Marzouk was asked in a recent interview why Hamas did not build bomb shelters for civilians. His answer was to explain that tunnels in Gaza were built to protect Hamas fighters, not civilians; protecting Gaza civilians is the responsibility of the U.N. and Israel (referred to as “the occupier”).
Hamas spokesman Amad Rwaidy explained to RT that while Israelis love life, it is our dream to die for the cause.
