Hamas top dog admits Gaza protesters not “innocent civilians”: “If 62 people were martyred, 50 of them were Hamas”

May 16, 2018 12:04 pm By Robert Spencer

“In the last rounds of confrontations, if 62 people were martyred, 50 of them were Hamas.”

Will the establishment media continue to ignore this and portray Israel as slaughtering innocent and peaceful protesters? Nothing else is more certain.

“Hamas official: 50 of the 62 Gazans killed in border violence were our members,” by Judah Ari Gross, Times of Israel, May 16, 2018:

A Hamas official on Wednesday acknowledged that 50 of the 62 Palestinians reported killed during Gaza border riots on Monday and Tuesday were members of the Islamist terrorist group, bringing the total number of known members of terror groups among the fatalities up to 53.

“In the last rounds of confrontations, if 62 people were martyred, 50 of them were Hamas,” said Hamas official Salah Bardawil in an interview with the Palestinian Baladna news outlet.

The Iran-backed Palestinian Islamic Jihad had said on Tuesday that three members of its Saraya al-Quds military wing were killed by Israeli forces in Khan Younis.

The Israeli military shared a portion of Bardawil’s interview with an Arabic news outlet, accompanied by English captions.

“This proves what so many have tried to ignore: Hamas is behind these riots, and the branding of the riots as ‘peaceful protests’ could not be further from the truth,” said IDF spokesperson Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus.

According to the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry, 62 people in total were killed during border clashes on Monday and Tuesday.

Israel has not put out its own official death toll, but officials have questioned the accuracy of the Hamas-provided figure….

    Seems to me that the HAMAS guy is simply saying “ALL OF GAZA IS HAMAS” —-his
    assertion is actually meaningless——–he will still insist “ALL WERE HELPLESS
    CIVILIANS

      Hamas was voted in in a reasonably free vote.

      People actually VOTED for this.

      So yes, collectively, they’re Hamas.

      Individually, they aren’t.

      It makes for a difficult-to-handle situation.

    Anyone can go on any online discussion on the Gaza conflict, and provide the link.

    Full marks to Israeli intelligence. The Internet is destroying, and will continue to destroy Islam.

      Unfortunately, the Internet is also aiding Muslims worldwide to organize and carry out the Muslim Brotherhood’s decree to take over the entire world before 2082 (as outlined in their Project written in 1982).

      The Internet alone cannot take down their advances. Western Media, world leaders (as in BEBE and TRUMP) and the remaining 80% of the world’s population must rise up to this challenge. This advance must be stopped and reversed. Give Muslims the deserts from which they came and have them advance civilization from there.

        There is an excellent article today’s ( 16th May) Daily Telegraph written by a British Brigadier where he lays out an eye witness account of the extent the IDF went to safeguard the attacking Arabs ( Palestinians).

    The BBC broadcast an interview with a medical person on the Palestinian side . It was all about how innocent women and children were singled out and shot at by IDF forces. Most of them were shot in the legs. The BBC interviewer asked one of the women if they were besieging Israel at the behest of Hamas. She said “ No . We re doing it to reclaim our land/country”. The BBC interviewer obviously does not know the term Taqiyya and Islam are inextricably intertwined.

      either that, Cicero, or the interviewer is a lazy idiot who doesn’t bother with silly things like research, since we all know that Real Journalists Don’t Research Stories before broadcasting them.

      lying leftist traitors.

    MSN ran a headline across the screen claiming “backlash” against i Israel for all of the deaths.

    The way things are, if Israel had not had any armed guards, patrols, soldiers, at the fence and someone attempting to breach it was injured, it would still be the fault of Israel.

    If someone such as this hamas guy tells the truth, one can be sure there is value in it for the hamas guy.
    Bragging that so many are hamas, that even little kids are hamas, etc. Or something else he intends by saying the dead are terrorists.

    That a Hamas chief had acknowledged that the Gaza protesters were not innocent civilians but at most of them are Hamas /jihadists. meaning they were violent jihad minded Muslim of the Hamas terror organization who were activity violent and thus received violence in return.
    The harsh reality is that violent jihadist/Muslim be they of Hamas ,Hezbollah , ISIS and other jihad terror entities are brainwashed men who are extremely violent and murderous and cannot be reasoned with. They will not respond to either reason of logic. Therefore , brute force is the only language that they will understand .

    On the subject of the vicious and violent and even murderous members of Hamas. There is much blame for this jihadist violence to go around. One of the many guilty ones are the imams and other Muslim clerics who mind program Muslims youth into the hard core violent and deadly jihad mind conditioned way of thinking . This does not excuse those violent Hamas “protesters,” nevertheless those manipulative imams who mind program others into acting out in jihad violence and then at the same time site home safe all the while Islamic terrorism is going on are Muslim clerics who are both cowardly and despicable.

      Muslim clerics … are both cowardly and despicable.
      —
      couldn’t agree more, Walter. islam is a gangsta cult, and its members act the same as the members of any other criminal organization. these people have a terminal mind disease, one from which few ever recover. fortunately, civilized, minimally-educated people are highly immune to its spread; unfortunately, a few traitors and large numbers of deluded westerners who don’t understand the danger its victims present to them are controlling most governments, so they are (foolishly, in the case of the latter, and treasonously, in the case of the former) allowing the disease victims into their nations. the obvious result, given the cover that the traitors provide to the diseased, will be the collapse of society. no doubt the traitors intend to build a new society from the ashes of the old; too bad if a few million – or hundred million – people die. the civil war between the hard left and the pious muslims (which attacks from the hard left will ensure are virtually *all* muslims in the west) will make life “interesting” for the rest of us, or at least, for those of us who manage to live through it. for civilization, not so much; in 300 years, remaining humans will have no memory of us.

    The downside of pretending this was a spontaneous peaceful demonstration is that Hamas leaders don’t get the credit they believe they deserve for their planning of this military operation utilizing civilians. I for one appreciate their evil and cynicism.

    President Trump made the right and wise decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and move the US embassy to that important city . For not to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel would be appeasement to the powers of Islam. Appeasement will only be viewed by Muslim as weakness. Therefore, with appeasement, the Muslim arrogance and contempt for America would only grow.
    Furthermore, all this Hamas/Muslim rioting and other forms of Islamic violence and terrorism which violent jihad entities, as Hamas, claim is the result of the US embassy move to Jerusalem. This jihadist /Hamas violence is a somewhat of a reminder on the 1979 move TIME AFTER TIME in which the hero of that movie said “The first man to raise his fist is the man who has run out of ideas.” Therefor it may only be concluded that all the rioting Hamas./Muslims with all their violent mayhem must be men who have run out of idea’s

      Dear Lee,

      What is the difference between death and martyrdom and how would you know? In the Israel/Palestinian conflict I can’t name one, except to suggest that most are probably called Mohammed or variations of the same! What a waste! Long live Israel!
