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.

    because they want to be seen as a legitimate resistance movement rather than terrorists presumably, and they want to delegitimize the Israeli narrative on the world scene.
