Khaled Mashaal

Khaled Mashaal, head of the Hamas political bureau, gave a speech at a Hamas rally in Damascus marking the anniversary of Operation Cast Lead. He promised that “the Zionist entity will be destroyed” and that the “resistance” (i.e., terrorism) would continue:

  • Hamas will never give up the option of resistance, no matter how long it takes.” He said only “liberating” the (Palestinian) land, “restoring” Jerusalem and gaining the “right of return” would be the proper response to Hamas’ demands. Hamas, he said, would continue to “oppose the occupation” and refuse to recognize the legitimacy of the “Zionist entity.”
  • He said that “the Zionist entity will be destroyed the way the Khaybar tribe was destroyed” (Note: The Khaybar was a Jewish tribe living in the Arabian peninsula. They were conquered by Muhammad in 628 A.D.)
  • He praised the foreign aid brought by the convoys and ships to the Gaza Strip, especially George Galloway1 (Al-Jazeera TV, January 22, 2010).

Khalil al-Hayeh, a member of the Hamas political bureau, said during a visit to Iran that the country gave Hamas financial, moral and political support.2 He also claimed that the support was unconditional, and said that Hamas “welcomes and is proud of all types of Islamic and Arabic strategic ties which support the Palestinian people and its uprising” (Asr Iran, January 20, 2010).


Notes:

1. A pro-Hamas member of the British Parliament who led the Lifeline convoy to the Gaza Strip, met with Ismail Haniya and was declared persona non grata by Egypt.

2. Iran give Hamas several hundred million dollars a year. For further information see the January 12, 2009 bulletin, “Iranian Support for Hamas” at Iran-e004.pdf.

Quotes and Sayings

About the Region, Islam and cultural totalitarianism...

    Despite our small numbers and lack of preparedness, we have not yet lost a single settlement…In contrast, about one hundred Arab towns and villages have been abandoned, and more than 150,000 Arabs have moved to the interior of the country or to neighboring Arab countries … To date, not one Jewish settlement, however remote, weak or isolated, has been abandoned. On the other hand, entire cities have been deserted by the Arabs. Tiberias and Haifa were simply evacuated after the first defeat, although the Arabs were not threatened with destruction or slaughter … We hope that there will soon be a free parliament in the State of Israel, based on democratic elections by all its Jewish citizens and those Arab citizens who choose to stay here.

    — David Ben-Gurion, Knesset debates, 4 may 1948
