Al-Barghouti Exhorts the Believers to Fight

8/Al-Anfal-65:

O Prophet! rouse the Believers to the fight. If there are twenty amongst you, patient and persevering, they will vanquish two hundred: if a hundred, they will vanquish a thousand of the Unbelievers: for these are a people without understanding.

A Palestinian columnist writing in Arabic in a Qatai newspaper declared this week: “We do not want a ceasefire, we want ongoing war. Victory is at hand.”

A Palestinian columnist writing in Arabic in a Qatai newspaper declared this week: “We do not want a ceasefire, we want ongoing war. Victory is at hand.”

Palestinian journalist Samir Al-Barghouti, writing in the Qatari daily Al-Watan, as translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), made the case for war to continue as a means to highlight the Palestinian cause.

More below the fold.

There Should Be No Negotiations with Hamas Because ‘They Should All Be Dead’

Israeli Envoy Stuffs U.N. Charter in Shredder as Palestinian ‘State’ Passes in Non-Binding Vote

The United Nations General Assembly on Friday overwhelmingly passed a resolution asking the U.N. Security Council (UNSC) to reconsider granting full membership to the Palestinians – a move that would constitute de facto U.N. recognition of Palestinian statehood.

The General Assembly resolution, which is non-binding, passed with 143 nations in support, nine against, and 25 abstentions. The United States and Israel were among the nine votes against.

Erdan said the U.N. was trying to allow a “terror state” into its ranks, led by Hamas, the “Hitlers of our time.”

“It is during our sacred week that this shameless body has chosen to reward modern-day Nazis with rights and privileges?” he asked incredulously, referring to Israel’s Holocaust Remembrance observance, Yom HaShoah.

Wonder what took him so long.

Foreign Secretary St David Cameron of Ukraine slams BBC for their reluctance to label Hamas terrorists… terrorists. Because apparently, in BBC Land, kidnapping grandmas and shooting children just doesn’t cut it. Maybe they’re waiting for them to send thank you cards next?

Al-Barghouti argued that the world had forgotten about the Palestinians until the October 7 terror attack, but now — thanks to the spectacular violence, and to protests in the west, the “free world” is united behind the Palestinians:

O heroes of the resistance in Gaza, thank you. You showed the whole world how honor takes precedence to life, how faith stands fast in the face of weapons, how blood triumphs over pain and how the free believer stands tall in the face of the bullet. You proved with your resistance that peoples who surrender have never been safe and have no future, whereas peoples who fight for their freedom and honor will surely achieve their destination someday…

O people of Gaza, history has never seen a people braver than you, more patient than you [in the pursuit of] the truth, or more generous in sacrificing for the sake of Allah. O our people in Gaza, despite the martyrs and wounded, you are the springboard of the hoped-for national future of the Arabs and Muslims… No matter how deep the wound, we will continue to resist, because this enemy understands only the language of force. Even if Palestine sacrifices millions of martyrs and wounded, we will continue to resist. We do not want a ceasefire, we want ongoing war. Victory is at hand…

Hamas has repeatedly broken ceasefires — including the ceasefire that had been in place prior to its unprovoked attack on October 7, and a truce in November for hostage releases.
