Quote: “We must teach Israel a lesson, and we will do it again and again. The Al-Aqsa Deluge [the name Hamas gave its 7 October onslaught - ed.] is just the first time, and there will be a second, a third, a fourth. Will we have to pay a price? Yes, and we are ready to pay it. We are called a nation of martyrs, and we are proud to sacrifice martyrs.”
We are called a nation of martys, and we are proud to sacrifice martyrs.
“Some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I’m willing to make.”
Meanwhile this guy lives it up in Qatar
the tunnels are only for Hamas btw
Memri is a literal Israeli intelligence disinformation outlet. Everything from Memri should be considered non-credible https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_East_Media_Research_Institute
MEMRI may have an agenda, but they literally just translate public statements from Arabic to English. If you think there’s an inaccuracy in the translation, please let me know.
Edit: Someone here is implying that Hamas official Ghazi Hamad didn’t say what he said, so let me also share these additional links:
Link to the original unedited broadcast
Link to the source article (Dated Yesterday)
Link to an English Interview with Ghazi Hamad on NBC in which he defended his words and reiterated, “What do you want us to do? To stop? No, I am talking about we want to continue (fighting) against the occupation.”
Go to the Wikipedia, click on Reception, load the archived sources 40 thru 45 and then ask yourself how credible MEMRI is.
How Memri translates is here in the debate on source 45:
In your Special Dispatch 151, for instance, you translated an interview given by the mufti of Jerusalem to al-Ahram al-Arabi, shortly after the start of the Palestinian uprising.
One question the interviewer asked was: “How do you deal with the Jews who are besieging al-Aqsa and are scattered around it?” Memri translated this as: “How do you feel about the Jews?” - which is a different question. That left you with a reply in Arabic which didn’t fit your newly-concocted question. So you cut out the first part of the mufti’s reply and combined what was left with part of his answer to another question.
We are the victims of the occupation. Period. Therefore, nobody should blame us for the things we do.
That’s one seriously suspect “therefore”.
Yeesh, this is gonna get a looot uglier.
