Hamas was the reason for the destruction of Gaza. If it weren't for Hamas, the Israeli army wouldn't have destroyed Gaza, nor would thousands of its residents have been killed or injured. Hamas provoked the peaceful Israeli army, leading to the Nakba. When push came to shove, Hamas forces disappeared, leaving the people as fodder for the Israeli air force, tanks, and deadly weapons. The greatest crime of Hamas is that it pushed Israel into a war for which Hamas was not prepared. Hamas leaders abroad live in luxury, making decisions from afar, far from the battlefront. Khaled Meshaal's daughter's wedding cost one and a half million dollars. Iran deceived Hamas, making them believe it was with them, only to abandon them, and so on.
These are samples of headlines published by falsely named national newspapers. I will not respond to all these slanders because they represent the mentality of a group of mercenary journalists who belong to what I have previously called the “swamp school.”
These journalists have forgotten the following undeniable facts:
- No Palestinian faction has sacrificed as many martyrs as Hamas. Among its martyr leaders are Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, Abdul Aziz al-Rantisi, Mahmoud al-Zahar’s two sons, Said Siyam, Nizar Rayan, along with thirteen of his relatives and grandchildren, and others.
- Israel is inherently an aggressive state and does not need provocation or signals from anyone to carry out its brutal acts. It has conducted widespread assassinations without being provoked. It is a cancerous state founded on aggression that has lived and continues to live on aggression. It would take too long to list all the treacherous and assassination acts committed by its agents.
- Its historical crimes began even before the Palestinian land knew Hamas:
– Their killing of 250 unarmed Egyptian soldiers after the June 1967 war, which was documented in a documentary film that no one can deny.
– The massacre of “Al-Sheikh” Village, committed by the “Haganah” gang on the evening of December 31, 1947, resulted in 60 martyrs from the village. Most of their bodies were found inside their homes, and the village was incorporated into Israel under the new Hebrew name “Tel Ganan.”
– The massacre of “Sa'sa'” Village, committed by Zionists who blew up 20 houses over the heads of their inhabitants.
– The massacre of “Abu Kabir” Village, committed by the “Haganah” gang on March 31, 1948, in which everyone who tried to escape from the village was killed.
– The “Deir Yassin” massacre, committed by the “Irgun” and “Haganah” gangs on April 9, 1948. Located on the outskirts of Jerusalem, it resulted in the slaughter of 250 Arabs and the injury of a similar number, mostly children, women, and the elderly. Those who were not killed were taken in trucks to Jewish neighborhoods in Jerusalem, where they were paraded in front of the Zionist public, who threw stones at them. This massacre was led by Menachem Begin, who later became Prime Minister of Israel starting in June 1977.
– The massacre of “Abu Shusha” Village on May 14, 1948, carried out by soldiers of a regular army brigade, resulting in the martyrdom of 50 civilians by gunfire and head bashing with axes.
– The massacre of “Lydda” on July 11, 1948, committed by an Israeli commando unit led by Moshe Dayan. When some civilians tried to take refuge in the mosque, they were pursued by Jews, who killed 176 people. The final death toll was 426 martyrs.
– The remaining survivors of “Lydda” were gathered by the Zionists in the city stadium and ordered to leave the town immediately on foot, leading to many deaths from hunger, thirst, terror, and exhaustion.
– The massacre of “Eilabun” Village on October 29, 1948, where the Israeli army stormed the village, gathered civilians in the town square, and fired at them from all directions.
– The massacre of “Qalqilya” on October 10, 1948, where airplanes and artillery were used to bombard the village, resulting in 70 martyrs.
– The massacre of “Sharafat” Village on February 7, 1951, attacked by a division of the Israeli army, which planted a large number of mines in the village, killing many of the villagers, especially women and children.
– The massacre of “Nilla” Village on February 9, 1951, where a Jew infiltrated the village and killed a man, a child, and a girl in one house. The Jews returned for a second attack, killing and injuring many of its residents.
– The massacre of “Qibya” Village, where 67 civilians were martyred, and the village mosque, water tank, and 56 houses were destroyed.
– The massacre of “Kafr Qasim,” resulting in 57 martyrs and 27 injuries, including a child and 17 women among the martyrs.
– The massacres of refugee camps committed by the Israeli army against Palestinian refugees in the main camp in Khan Younis city on November 3, 1956, resulting in 250 Palestinian martyrs.
– The massacre was repeated on November 12, 1956, resulting in 275 Palestinian martyrs.
– On the same day, after the previous massacre, Israelis marched to the Rafah refugee camp and killed more than a hundred refugees.
– The “Sabra and Shatila” massacre, on September 18-19, 1982, resulted in the deaths of over 3,500 Palestinian civilians, most of whom were women, children, and the elderly. This massacre was planned and supervised by former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
It is fair for the reader to ask: Is Hamas responsible for these Zionist crimes?
It is worth noting that all these massacres were committed by Israel before the existence of Hamas, which is known to have been established on December 15, 1987.
Another observation is that the number of martyrs from these massacres far exceeds the number of martyrs in Gaza.
It is astonishing that officials and journalists from the “swamp school” assert that Hamas has suffered an irrecoverable defeat and deny that Hamas achieved a certain victory, which even many Israelis acknowledged. They stood heroically for nearly four weeks without surrendering and continued fighting, forcing the Zionists with their devilish weapons to withdraw, failing to achieve their goal of eradicating Hamas forever.
It is also worth noting that some Arab rulers hoped and perhaps worked to help Israel achieve its objectives, calling for the support of Mahmoud Abbas as the legitimate ruler of the Palestinian government despite his term having ended, thus nullifying his legitimacy. Moreover, he and his men are aligned with the Zionists, Americans, and their allies.
Finally, I say: God bless you, O mujahideen. Palestine will remain proud and strong because of you.
