Hamas officials in press remarks:
Hamas official Osama Hamdan in press remarks:
⭕️ “The movement is not willing to discuss any new ideas that do not include ending the Israeli aggression, the withdrawal of the occupation forces from Gaza, and reconstruction”
Comment by Amarynth: This makes perfect sense. Why would you try and communicate with someone that says just after the communication, no matter what is agreed, I’m going to carry on killing you?
⭕️ “We have received promises from the mediators to continue their efforts to push towards the demands we call for”
⭕️ “We cannot rely on the confused Israeli positions, where Israeli officials differ among themselves”
⭕️ “The Israeli response is divided, and there are conflicting statements from their officials themselves”
⭕️ “The Americans are partners in the aggression, not mediators that can be relied upon”
Comment by Amarynth: This is of course accurate. The US wants to keep their influence in West Asia and will allow every Palestinian to be killed to accomplish that.
⭕️ “The ball and the response are now in the court of the mediators and the Israelis”
⭕️ “The occupation does not want to stop the aggression, and there are no guarantees of its response to the mediators’ efforts”
⭕️ “The American administration is a partner in all the massacres and practices by Israel against our people in the Gaza Strip”
Hamas leader Sami Abu Zuhri:
• Hamas agreed to the May 5 document, but “Israel” rejected it by invading Rafah and presenting a new proposal that undermines the previous one.
• Our position is clear: end the aggression, withdraw of the occupation, return the displaced, and lift the blockade, which is not included in the “Israeli” document.
• No agreement has any value if it does not end the aggression against our people.
• There must be retaliation and an expansion of the conflict area in revenge for the insult to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the desecration of Al-Aqsa Mosque.
• The “Israeli” document relied upon by Biden will form the basis of the American project presented to the Security Council.
• There is a misleading attempt by the Americans and Israelis, and everyone should be aware of this.
• Hamas does not hesitate to welcome what was mentioned in Biden’s speech, but the American draft resolution to be presented to the Security Council is based on the “Israeli” document.
This is a little-known fact: Hamas works for the US and Israel, providing justification for their genocide and resource theft. Hamas worked with the US in Syria in the early 2010’s, to destabilize Syria by terrorizing the population. Using terror groups that itself trains, arms, and pays, is the US… Read more »
Hi pdb ..yes, but you are talking about many years ago. Hamas has grown up, they are for their people and there was a meeting of the important surrounding group just a while ago, where they said Hamas is handling this ( the on-again, off-again negotiations which is a red… Read more »
I had a quick look – this one: https://thegrayzone.com/2024/03/06/leaked-israel-lobby-officials-war-gaza-mass-rape/
Take a look at the image there where they compare the language used, and you’ll see something is seriously out of wack with the portrayal of Hamas, and what Hamas actually does and says.
Peter, this is an old story, since superceded. Cursory perusal of history shows most revolutionary forces gladly accept handouts by their arrogant delusional occupiers. Then they went on to destroy the intolerable paradigm. And much of the risible narrative that there was collusion or fake action by Hamas was debunked.… Read more »
There is such a bitter sweet sense to this. If we think of 5 years ago, there was hardly an opportunity to hear a Hamas (or any other) official speaking in a manner that we could hear them and see them. Now they are very much present, and the message… Read more »
Beyond exposed. If we ignore their narratives and hysteria, we can clearly see they are helpless. They can lie and pretend to browbeat “Hamas” (i.e. the many Palestinian resistance factions) into accepting a political surrender, but all sides, including the local zionazis, ignore the raving Empire. It is being settled… Read more »
