>Kill 1000 Israeli civilians
>Demand an apology from Israel
NEW TV interview with Khaled Mashal, Hamas’s external leader.
Mashal is based in Qatar.
Summary of interview:
Says Hamas’s terrorism is “legitimate resistance”
Says sacrifices have to be made by nations when trying to liberate themselves. Points to 30 million Russians dying during World War II. The Vietnamese “sacrificing” 3.5 million people.
The TV anchor says that Israel gained sympthy because Hamas killed innocent civilians.
Mashal says they focus their “resistance” (terrorism) on soldiers but that in some wars there are innocent victims.
(Just 13 percent of those killed were military)
Mashal says Hamas will not apologize to Israel and that Israel owes Hamas an apology.
Mashal said no one has the right to ask Hamas why they launched this terror attack.
He says that he wants a more powerful position from Egypt on this war, on Hamas’s side.
When asked about the Islamic Republic and its involvement that Hamas’s job is to make requests and remind people of their promises.
Mashal refuses to refer to Israeli hostages as “hostages.” He calls them “prisoners.”
(A reminder that there are elderly people and children as part of the hostages.)
He says that Hamas will only agree to a prisoner swap. That Israel now holds 10,000 prisoners they want back .
