What Hamas is and what it stands for | Explainer 

Have some pork chops and bacon

I prefer TRUTHFUL reporting. Wikipedia: In 2008 while serving a prison sentence in Israel, Yahya Sinwar (the current Hamas leader) was operated in Israeli hospital to remove a tumor in his brain to save his life. You see, Israel saved his life... and what he did he do in return? Arranged a massacre of thousands of Israelis, which by the international law is considered a crime against humanity and a genocide.

Because you’re a terrorist? That’s what Al-Jazeera is. Hamas Qatari funded terrorist news. They’re not independent.

And both the Palestinians and Israelis did that. So this destruction of Gaza is partially the fault of Palestinians.

CNN and BBC have 15M. But yeah, Aljazeera will probably close that gap soon. We are sick of the manufactured lies of other outlets.

HAMAS = ISIS

You are very stupid and naive

Very objective, not to mention the rapes of children, the torture and mutiliation of babies in front of their parents...That is what Hamas stands for.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Hamas leadership lives in mansions in Qatar, the country that literally owns Al Jazeera. But you think this is objective news?

@liadx2672: Puerile comment. Dehumanising the Palestinians for 75 years is what has led to the current situation.

U won't understand this with your little gold fish brain.. because u are just ordinary fish in the ocean

People who have a good conscience and a good heart will probably not "condemn Hamas," but will condemn the violence. People should not be "condemning" each other. Even the most wounded and lost people deserve compassion. In fact if they had enough compassion, and less of the opposite, they would behave much better.

God himself will defend Israel. No one can wipe out Israel. Hitler tried it but he failed

Music is Haram brother

You don’t need to be a Muslim to stand with “Palestine”. It’s enough to be ignorant and violent.

and what about if supporting Hamas?

❤🇵🇸

I am human,I don't support hamas

I do not support terrorists.

They did, but in a way, that they still wouldn't recognise Israel. Interesting idea, some say that there is still a debate about the '67 borders within Hamas.

They didn't. They are still a genocidal terrorist organization, the rest is deception.

May be you did not listen to the end Hamas cant be trusted they kept rocketing Israel after every peace agreement it's a vicious circle I don't think hamas can speak for Palestine read about the brotherhood .

Israel had taken lead in getting a two state solution done many times. Ask the Saudis. Recent talks in Saudi Arabia got paused by the terrorism on Oct 7th. Besides if you read the Hamas manifesto, the first statement about Israel is bizarre. Hamas is also working with Iran other than PLO . Iran wants to wipe out Jews and Israel. PLO in the west bank recently on their official website stated it clearly: Hamas isn't a representative for all Palestinians

*I just looked at the Hamas charter. It said these things: "Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it" "Initiatives, and so-called peaceful solutions and international conferences, are in contradiction to the principles of the Islamic Resistance Movement." and "There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad." And it calls for Israel's destruction."*

YOU MEAN SACRIFICING THEIR LIVES FOR THEIR FAKE ALLAH AND TERRORIST HAMAS?

Yes many kings live in Gaza living on charity and begging

Move your mosque to mecca. Don't steal someone's holiest site to be your third holy site.

@@lovyrituraj ... Except of course the men right at the top of Hamas, top 3 have in excess of 8 BILLION in private wealth !!!! Not a care in the world about their beloved Gazans though ... they're quite happy to sacrifice the Gazans lives for their own comfy Qatar lifestyle !!

@@user-tl7rj4wc8m Indian Hindutva Paid Troll..

ISRAEL HAS PROVIDED ELECTRICITY, WATER, AND FOOD TO BE OUTSOURCED TO PALESTINE. IT ALOWED PALESTINIANS TO WORK THERE. WHAT HAMAS DID IN RETURN WAS TO CONTINUE THEIR HATE AND MISSILE ATTACKS TO ISRAEL, YOU CANNOT BLAME ISRAEL FOR THEIR ACTIONS WHEN THEY HAVE BEEN CONSTANTLY DEALING WITH TERRORISTS. UNFORNUTELY FOR HAMAS AND PALESTINIANS, ISRAEL SOLDIERS ARE BRAVER AND STRONGER COMPARED TO HAMAS TERRRORISTS WHO ARE ALL COWARDS WHO USE HUMANS AS THEIR SHIELDS. SHAME ON YOU SUPPORTING THET ERRORISTS. ISRAEL USED THEIR TAX MONEY FOR IMPROVEMENT OF THEIR SOCIETY WHILE HAMAS USE IT TO BUILD MORE TUNNELS, BUY WEAPONRY, ETC. SHAME.

The human parts human trafficking criminals are Zionists from free Palestinian prisoners.

First of all, the true story still hasn't come out yet. There were survivors who said that the IDF killed the hostages. Secondly, worse was and is being done by the occupation. Thirdly, it's an occupation. Even you wouldn't tolerate it if someone kicked you out right now, killed, kidnapped your family.. But Palestinians are treated differently

But it's okay for the Zionist regime to do the same to Palestinians for 75 years right basically kidnapping them and putting them in jail with no trial no nothing you support that right? you have such double standards that is sad get your facts straight and then post true facts you just going off on the western media lies. Did you know that the Zionist regime has a campaign called the lab where they test their Arsenal add new weapons on innocent Palestinian civilians but yet you're complaining about Israelis at a rave getting killed which in reality they're pretty much Israelis soldiers that served in their military and they're running away from combat come on do your research stop with your double standards research the truth

Appreciate for your understanding.... Isreal was attacking and Humiliating Palestine every single day very before Hasam attack.... taking their home and land....

I appreciate the fact that you see the both sides and not like most of the ipocrates comments here that are very sad about the poor palestinian and ignore the fact that hamas starts this war

Hamas paraglided out and wanted hostages ALIVE to exchange for theirs they didn't bomb civilian houses or used tanks THAT is what israel did to kill those rave folk n tbh its tone deaf to party out side of an extermination camp and blame the victims inside for resisting whilst their ILLEGAL colonisers invaders are PARTYING outside of their extermination camp. I will NEVER feel bad for the perpetrators and accuse and blame the victims for resisting its like blaming an abused wife , its IMMORAL and you should look into what happened on Oct 7 cause they LIED hamas don't have bombs and hand grenades don't demolish houses and burn people. THEY LIED , used tanks and shot the people at the rave hamas took them to treat them and exchange them for prisoners they needed Israelis ALIVE and israel was gunning their own down by any means necessary for as long as hamas was around them colonisers.

Sadly, you're right.

I’m responding 3 months later. Hamas did target IDF on October 7. Israel fired and killed their own at kibbutz neighbourhoods. More then 1/2 October 7 were IDF personal. Other killed in crossfire mainly by IDF. Hostages were treated like humans and their was a purpose for it. Even some of the hostages are Female IDF soldiers still being held right now.

@avishevin1976: Quotation dated ....???

@@vivicohen199 Why does it need to be dated? It's from Hamas's own charter.

Exactly but don’t say it too loudly.. to me they are cowards and are just as bad as Israel they know their people are dying so why aren’t they fighting..

If it’s Hamas fault for Israel attacking Palestinians then why was Israel and ITS army killing and expelling since the creation if Israel before Hamas even existed?

@pd4002: When Palestinians are driven out and become refugees, they have no right of return.

Exactly, the Quran teaches us to strive against injustice. But not everyone likes justice

Then they should hold in high regard Quran 5:20-21 where Allah says THE LAND BELONGS TO ISRAEL !! But obviously the Gazans dont hold Allah or their own Quran in high regard !!

@@belindamostert1125 Mention the verses pathological liars. These and many verses are rebuking the jews for their disobedience to God. This disobedience is deeply embedded in the xionist. Secondly, How do you know that Gazans, or palestenians arent the from the progeny of the children of Israel. Where does the commanded you to rape, pillage, decimate entire population? When did the God you gave the permission to enter the this land? You guys are atheist, and your goals are secular. Here are the verses: 'And when Musa said to his people, "0 my people, re-member the blessing of Allah upon you when He made prophets from among you, made you kings and gave you what He did not give to anyone in the worlds. O my people, enter the Holy Land which Allah has des-tined for you, and do not turn back, for then you will turn losers." They said, "0 Musa, there is a nation of tyrants over there and we shall never go in there until they get out of it. If they do get out of it, we are ready to go in." Said two men from among the God-fearing, on whom Allah had bestowed His favour, "Enter the gate (charging) upon them. And once you have entered it, you are the ones to overcome. And in Allah you must place your trust, if you are believers." They said, "0 Musa, we shall never enter it, in any case, so long as they are there. So go, you and your Lord, and fight. As for us, we are sitting right here." He said, "0 my Lord, I have no control except over my-self and my brother. So, make a separation between us and the sinning people." He (Allah) said, "This (land) is prohibited to them for forty years. They shall be wandering around the earth. So, do not grieve for the sinning people." ' 5:20-5:26

​@@user-vg8kp6dt6l If that's true, We are witnessing why that would be necessary..

@@covertpuppytwo3857 When are you going to grow up? If you would read history you would know that Zionism, which is not Judaism was created by a secular Jew named Theodor Herzl 150 years ago. His followers convinced the British government, with the help of the UN, created the state of Israel. All three groups of Arab, Jews and Christians lived in peace with each other and then the Zionist came being colonial settlers doing what the US did in the past. Manifest Destiny was the US policy of violently removing Native Americans from their ancestral land. On top of that, Christian Dominion Theology gave it the religious justification in carrying it out. There are orthodox Jews who will tell you that Zionism is not Judaism. The call for the abolishment of the apartheid state of Israel and to return farms and homes to the Palestinians. They further state that Israel was not to return until AFTER their messiah comes and world peace established. You can see a few interviews of these orthodox Jews here on Al Jazeera.
