Hamas leader: Nations are recognizing Palestinian state due to ‘fruits of October 7’

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Ghazi Hamad, a senior member of the Hamas politburo, told Al Jazeera over the weekend that the wave of Western nations moving to recognize a Palestinian state is the result of “the fruits” of Hamas’ October 7, 2023, massacre.

In a clip of his interview with the outlet yesterday, Hamad asked the interviewer: “Why are all the countries recognizing a Palestinian state today? Before October 7, did any country dare recognize a Palestinian state?”

He continues: “The fruits of October 7 are what caused the entire world to open its eyes to the Palestinian issue — and they are moving toward it with force. That is, that the Palestinian people are a people who deserve a country.”

Dozens of countries had recognized Palestinian statehood prior to the October 7 attack, though in recent weeks, many more have taken steps in that direction, including a number of major Israeli allies, citing the need to bring an end to the war in Gaza.

Responding to Hamad’s remarks, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar — who has argued that unilateral recognition at this time “rewards terror” — called out France, the United Kingdom, and Canada for announcing plans to recognize a Palestinian state in September, asking rhetorically in a post on X: “If this [is] who applauds you — what does it say about you?”

Britain, France, Canada and Hamas apparently all think alike.

In a way, he is right. Hanas does not value human life. Every Gazan death is a blessing to them. They are evil death cult who used the citizens of Gaza as cannon fodder. Unfortunately, they had a rabid, willing religious nutter opponent that was happy to come slaughter Gazans.

So that's all you are able to make out about what's going on? That this is all about Israel/Netanyahu likes killing Gazans? Clearly you're the nutter.

 

[rosends]

You guys have been at this for 80 years now. When does "Victory" get declared?

In Gaza? I think the terms have been laid out many times. Hamas' disarmament, guarantees of mutual recognition etc.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

That this is all about Israel/Netanyahu likes killing Gazans?

No, my first point was that the Hamas death cult LOVES seeing Gazans get killed.

And I don't think Netanyahu dances on the graves of Gazan citizens, the way Hamas dances on the graves of Israeli citizens. I don't think it brings him joy. But I think what Netanyahu has done has crossed into the immoral.

So you think it is immoral for Israel to seek to protect its people by destroying the Palestinians' ability to commit atrocities against Israel? You think the moral thing for Israel to do is to allow Hamas to remain in control in Gaza so it can rearm and launch further attacks on Israel?

Hamas and the other terrorist gangs in Gaza must go if there is ever to be any peace in the region, and this war is the only way to get rid of them. Before you get all self righteous about the poor Gaza "civilians" all the information we have indicates virtually all of them support continuing war against Israel. This is the war they wanted but this is not the outcome they wanted.

No. I just don't think the atrocities committed on Israel justify what Israel has visited on Gaza. You aren't going to put words in my mouth. I have shilled for Israel's right to defend itself since day one, as well as stating that Hamas is an evil death cult.

If you think they DO justify that (and apparently more), then so be it. That's where we differ.

No, where we differ is you think this war is just about "getting even" with Hamas for the Oct 7 massacre when it is clearly about Israel trying to defend itself by preventing Hamas and the other Gaza terrorists from being able to attack Israel again. Why do you continue to iignore the purpose of the war?

You should read up on the 1956 Suez War. The one were the Zionist Shitstains attacked Egypt while conspiring with the UK and France to seize control of the Canal.

The British and French attacked Egypt, Israel provided minor assistance. Mostly responding to Egypt using Palestinian guerrillas to attack Israeli civilians in cross border raids. Sound familiar? It’s what Syria, Jordan and Iran have been doing for the past several decades.

If Canada was constantly sending suicide bombers and knife attackers across the border as well as launching rocket barrages at short intervals aimed at killing American civilians for twenty five years, we would invade Canada and attempt to destroy the Canadian military and government.

 

[Shusha]

You are looking in the wrong place for the justification. Looking backward instead of forward. The point of the war is not to address what happened on October 7. The point of the war is to address all the promised (!) future attacks. One and done-ing this is what is going to save Israeli and Palestinian lives in the future.

 

[bambu.]

If the Palestinians think October 7 was a success, they will repeat it.

Not if Israel is wise.
Israel's intelligence is said to have failed re 'Oct 7'...or didn't fail but the intelligence was dismissed as "impossible", some allegations stated.
Palestinians obviously just don't seem to understand. Hamas certainly doesn't.
Israel is "the Jews' last stand" [my words, having watched movies about the Holocaust and WW2.]
'DEFIANCE" being one such movie.

Hamas/Palestinians don't seem to have received the "Never Again"/"Never Again is Now" message.
They'd only have to look around Gaza to see that Israel means business, "no more Mr Nice Guy".

 

[ShahdagMountains]

Yoseph Janowski says, no more Mr Nice Guy.


Israel offered land at the Oslo Accords.

Israel withdrew from Lebanon.

Israel gave away Gaza.

Iran got billions of dollars, as the world tried to appease them.

Intifadas, missiles, terrorism have resulted.

After October 7, the world kept screaming at Israel to stop fighting.

It’s time to tell everyone that enough is enough.

It’s time to tell everyone that Israel has learned its lesson.

Because there comes a time, when we need to look ourselves in the eye, and tell ourselves, that we’re not stupid.

We need to tell ourselves, that there are fanatics out there who really and truly want to kills us.

And we need to tell ourselves, that it’s time to defend the land and destroy the enemy.

No more living in la la land. No more trying to convince ourselves that, if we only tried harder, gave away more land, talked more peace — even as our enemies talked about destroying us, if we only did a bit more, then surely, surely Hamas and Hezbollah will come to love us.

You can only live in a dreamworld for so long. And then you finally wake up, look around, and realize that the greatest fool, is the one who fools oneself.

It’s time to wake up. It really is time to wake up.

It’s time to defend our land, our people, our children. It’s time to tell ourselves, that we need to accept reality.

Sometimes you don’t need to be a military expert; you just need some common sense.

It’s time.

 

[bambu.]

So, Hamas leader is a "whatever it takes" guy?

He and his supporters in Palestine can hardly complain if Israel's leadership is the same?

"Never again...whatever it takes"...could be Israel's new motto.
Seems fair.

Yes, we know the LIE of Zionism, that they made the desert bloom in a land without a people.

The reality, the people there were just fine until Europe started dumping their Jews there.

So you keep on saying.

Wow, that's a generous interpretation.

Here's a real one. The British, French, and Zionists were attempting to seize control of the Canal because Nassir's brand of Arab Nationalism scared the hell out of them.

You want to see this conflict as one of Judeo-Christianity vs. Islam, because Islam scares you.

They see it as it actually is. A fight of Arab peoples against European Colonialism, with the Zionist Entity being the last vestige of the Colonial Empires.

If Canada was constantly sending suicide bombers and knife attackers across the border as well as launching rocket barrages at short intervals aimed at killing American civilians for twenty five years, we would invade Canada and attempt to destroy the Canadian military and government.

Um, okay. Are we holding land that Canada rightfully thinks is theirs? Are we routinely abusing Canada? The problem is you want to pretend the Zionists were just minding their own business before Oct 7th, and ignoring all the shit they've pulled since 1947.

You are looking in the wrong place for the justification. Looking backward instead of forward. The point of the war is not to address what happened on October 7. The point of the war is to address all the promised (!) future attacks. One and done-ing this is what is going to save Israeli and Palestinian lives in the future.

Naw, the war will go on because the minute it stops, the opposition will ask questions like, "How did we get caught with our pants down?" and "Why did Bibi promote Hamas as a foil to Fatah for decades?"

It wasn't many people there nor was there ever a functioning country there... When the Jews came back the Arabs came because even that was better than their Arab Muslim s*** holes

 

[JoeB131]

In 1900, Muslims outnumbered Jews there 10-1.

Arabs didn't "Move" there, they were born there.

275,000 Arabs were there in 1900 now there's over 6 million how do you explain that? Genocide?... dumbass most of the Arabs came there if you build it they will come

COGAT @cogatonline:
WATCH: 5 Armed terrorists operated under the cover of a fake emblem of
@WCKitchen placed on a vehicle in Gaza - and were eliminated from the air.

The terrorists deliberately affixed the emblem and wore yellow vests in an attempt to conceal their activity and avoid being targeted, cynically exploiting the status and trust afforded to aid organizations.

Representatives from #GazaCLA verified the information with the WCK organization, which confirmed that the vehicle seen in the Gaza Strip bearing the organization’s emblem had no connection to its operations.
