Part of the problem is that these guys seem to think that the rest of us are idiots.

He clarifies what he means by a ceasefire is that Israel should stop attacking Hamas while Hamas continues attacking Israel.

[mangakey]

Hamas official: "We want ceasefire!"
Reporter " So you will stop attacking Israel right?"
Hamas Official " I didn't say that."
Reporter: So basically you want Israel to agree to a ceasefire so you can attack them without fear or retaliation is that right?"
Hamas Offical " YES!"

[oanna]

No excuse for what they did to infants babies unborn and children!!!

[DeeWeber]

He doesn’t just say Hamas has a right, he believes Israel should not exist. That’s the problem.

He says one thing to Western interviewers and spews hate the rest of the time, all while living in luxury in Qatar. I hope the IDF catches this guy.

Hamas logic:
1. We can do bad things because God will forgive us.
2. Others are not allowed to do bad things because it's wrong. Even if we did it to them first.

"17 years 17 years 17 years" isn't that exactly how long Hamas has been in control of Gaza

[clydelaya]

Imagine how sick the world is letting the criminal roam freely

[visoroverwatch]

That guy can literally play any bad guy on a movie lol.

[demetriusmaximus]

This man has the heart of a beast, sitting comfortably in a Qatar five star hotel and issuing statements that the gaza civilians are expendable while his minions commit heinous atrocities. Unreal.

[AlbertMark-nbzo]

The fact that he speaks out of both sides of his mouth, speaks volumes about what he ultimately wants. The fact that he's fine with the results, that it got coverage, is the attitude of a terrorist.

[hefnasty]

They really think the rest of us are idiots.

[Tjd]

Hiding in Lebanon instead of dying with his people, what a great man.

[hassanbeydoun]

Say what you will about the guy, he was pretty honest with the part he said about "if we stop do you want us to return to the miserable life we had before during occupation"

[KR-wzsn]

In short he says that they are going to continue with their savagery and brutality.

[arlest]

So its clear.., Hamas Leader dont care about Civilian Humanity of the Palestinian People...😢😢

[em]

Seems no one wants to talk about october 7th...like it never happened?

[SkyActives]

He sacrificed his own people, evil man

[ngkaimin]

Time and again we can see what a terrorist logic is.
