Hamas: ‘Palestinians Must Resort to Resistance No Matter How costly It Is, Until Palestine Is Free and Israel Is Destroyed’


“Hamas leader Khaled Meshal told an international conference in Iran on Saturday that ‘resistance’ was the only option left for the Palestinians.

Meshal was addressing the ‘5th International Conference in Support of the Palestinian Intifada’ in Iran’s capital Tehran.

‘Palestinians must resort to resistance no matter how costly it is, until Palestine is free and Israel is destroyed,’ Meshal said.

Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who also spoke at the conference on Saturday, assailed a two state solution for Israel and the Palestinians, saying the Palestinian bid for statehood at the United Nations is doomed to fail.

Khamenei told the conference, which was attended by other by senior Palestinian militant leaders as well as Mashaal, that the Palestinians should not limit themselves to seeking a country based on the pre-1967 borders because ‘all land belongs to Palestinians.’

‘Our claim is freedom of Palestine, not part of Palestine. Any plan that partitions Palestine is totally rejected,’ Khamenei told the conference.” Read more.

    The spark is Israel, period. No matter what they do, its going to cause an explosion at some point, unless they could somehow magically disappear. Then everything would be “peaceful and safe.”

    But yes, definitely poking at the beast with a sharp stick.
