The jazeera journalist asks him how come you don’t build tunnels for Palestinian civilians and he deflected it into 75% of Gaza are refugees, it’s the UN’s job to protect them and also Israel according to the Geneva convention (which is true an occupier still has duties) . My fucking God. r/worldnews went nuts with titles like “Hamas says not it’s job to protect civilians” “Hamas leader says tunnels for militants only”.

I think he doesn’t understand the Western narrative that they put children in line of fire on purpose, and are otherwise living normal lives in a singapore-like country that attacks Israel for no reason / because they just hate the jews.

Qatar is an ally of Hamas for god’s sake and it owns al jazeera, how do you bomb an interview with them? What a dumb mfer. I can’t believe these guys are the last significant armed faction and Pals are stuck with them.

    I recognize that seen as facts only it’s true. Gaza is a concentration camp surviving on aid so it’s true it’s the UN’s job to look after the refugees and also true that Israel has duties towards them as an occupier but said in this particular way in response to this particular question makes it sound like they’re unconcerned with human life

    Normally Western media ignores what Hamas has to say about allegations against it but this time they talk all over about this interview because its such propaganda fuel.
