Riveting interview, but without nuance, with former Hamas member, whose father was one of the founders.
In this clip from another video he calls his father an idiot man, swayed by factions. In this one, he says how he will always "honour" his father.
I have not heard him, in this nor other interviews or speeches mention the Occupation, Israel's flouting of international law, the appropriation of land, detaining Palestinian children in prison. Why not?
He has zeal of a different kind of extremist. He says he doesn't want a Palestinian State. What kind of world for Palestinians does he envisage, without Hamas?
Hamas makes no secret of its acts nor intentions. Between them, Hamas & Israel have brought hell upon Palestinians. Hamas is known for corruption. Poorer Palestinians dont support it. There have been no elections since 2006. And now Hamas indeed seems willing to sacrifice civilians in its fight.
It looks like both Hamas as a ruling organisation is finished, as, soon, will be Netanyahu. Neither Palestinians nor Israelis are going anywhere. One state, equal treatment, equal rights, proportional representation?
