The jazeera journalist asks him how come you don’t build tunnels for Palestinian civilians and he deflected it into 75% of Gaza are refugees, it’s the UN’s job to protect them and also Israel according to the Geneva convention (which is true an occupier still has duties) . My fucking God. r/worldnews went nuts with titles like “Hamas says not it’s job to protect civilians” “Hamas leader says tunnels for militants only”.

I think he doesn’t understand the Western narrative that they put children in line of fire on purpose, and are otherwise living normal lives in a singapore-like country that attacks Israel for no reason / because they just hate the jews.

Qatar is an ally of Hamas for god’s sake and it owns al jazeera, how do you bomb an interview with them? What a dumb mfer. I can’t believe these guys are the last significant armed faction and Pals are stuck with them.

    yeah this is just a stupid argument from westerners grasping at any reason to vilify hamas

    also the guy should have responded that that would be using the civilians as human shields, the thing zionists constantly claim

      He should’ve just said that. So many obvious answers and this guy goes with “not our job really”. lol Zionists immediately came to gloat about it on r/Palestine
