Hamas Leader: Bad News On Us ‘Fabricated,’ We’re Not Liable For Dead Civilians; Israel Must Apologize | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Hamas leader abroad Khaled Mashal said during an interview this week that Hamas was not responsible for killing innocent civilians in Israel and that Israel is the one that must apologize for what happened.

    Mashal made the remarks during a Thursday interview on Saudi Arabia's Al-Arabiya Network with host Rasha Nabil following the unprecedented terrorist attacks on October 7 where more than 1,400 Israeli's were murdered.

    He said that the manner in which Hamas conducted the attacks - which included raping young girls, burning people alive, taking Holocaust survivors hostage, beheading babies, and more - were forms of "legitimate resistance that our people have agreed upon."

    Nabil noted that Western media coverage has largely focused on the heinous crimes against humanity that the terrorists committed, to which Mashal replied all those accusations were "fabricated" by Israel, even though there are photos, videos, and witness testimony about what they did.

    He argued that it was okay for Palestinians to be sacrificed because "no nation is liberated without sacrifices."

    When asked about slaughtering civilians - and the overwhelming majority of those killed during the attacks were civilians - he said that is what happens in war and that "we are not responsible for them."

    "Will you apologize for what was done to the Israeli civilians on October 7?" Nabil asked.

    "With all due respect, your question... Forgive me for saying this... Apologies should be demanded from Israel," he responded. "You asked me a question and I am answering it with clarity. Hamas does not kill civilians on purpose. It focuses on the soldiers. Period."

    He also called on Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed terrorist group based in Lebanon, to begin launching terror attacks against Israel.

    Toward the end of the interview, he suggested that what Hamas wants in exchange for the hostages to be released was for Israel to release roughly 10,000 Palestinian terrorists and criminals who are currently locked up.

In the minds of many, since January 20, 2021, the World has become far less safe in every theater of conflict, beginning with the attack of Israel by Iran /Hamas, so the question becomes: What caused this Worldwide calamity of extreme geopolitical dysfunction, and what will correct it?

  Joe Biden is the cause of this frightening Worldwide situation, and it will end when a Republican is elected president.

  This delayed Worldwide dysfunction and constant conflict is all Donald Trump's fault, as it is with everything that occurs going forward, and long before the man ever became the 45th president..

  Joe Biden is the "root cause" of this frightening Worldwide situation, and it will end when former President Donald John Trump is elected president.

  In the imitable words of Alfred E. Newman: "What, me worry?"

26 days after the October 7th Terror attacks on Israel, where over 1400 Jewish men, women and children were gruesomely murdered, and hundreds more made hostage: Should the Biden /Harris administration finally state that the administration's primary Middle East negotiating partner, Iran, is behind the funding and strategy of the aggressors, the Hamas Terrorists, or continue to take the more moderate position of "Don't," which is clearly not working?

  Yes, name Iran as the funding /strategy culprit, and begin to enforce the President Trump era sanctions to END Iran's ability to prosecute this war against Israel and the United States.

  No, Iran is a valuable partner in the motives of the Biden / Harris administration, and must not be named as the culprit and our enemy.

  I have larger concerns just to survive in this economy.
