Ghazi Hamad, a senior member of Hamas, has welcomed the large-scale attack on Israel on 7 October, during which civilians were killed en masse, and promised that the Palestinian terrorist group would repeat such attacks many times in the future until it destroyed Israel.
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."
So uh... How about Israel stops bombing the civilians and bomb this guy instead? I'm sure if ask nicely the US will borrow them one of those knife missiles...
Proof that you can't destroy an enemy merely by opressing their people. Only genocide can give you a definitive victory. Israel knows it and appears to have decided accordingly.
