San Francisco Bay area Islamic scholar Dr. Yousef Al-Shehabi, the president and founder of Alqarawiyyeen University discussed the Jews in two sermons posted on his YouTube channel. In a video posted on January 2, 2024 Dr. Al-Shehabi said that October 7 was a "big lie," intended to bring people's hearts towards the Jews. He said that the Jews are experiencing punishment from Allah. Al-Shehabi said that according to the Quran, the Jews killed the prophets, tried to kill Jesus and the Prophet Muhammad, so Allah humiliated them. In a sermon posted on February 19, he said that there is a "distinction" between the Jews and the Children of Israel, that the Jews in Israel today are mostly descendent from Khazars who converted to Judaism in the 19th century.
Since the start of the war between Israel and the Palestinian factions in Gaza, Israel has also been facing attacks from South Lebanon. In addition to attacks by Hizbullah (whose presence in South Lebanon violates UN Security Council Resolution 1701, banning the presence of armed militias south of the Litani river), and by other Lebanese organizations,[1] Palestinian factions like Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) have been active as well. Their attacks, which include attempts to infiltrate Israeli territory and the firing of long-range missiles, indicate the existence of a Palestinian military infrastructure in Lebanon.
Hamas and the PIJ have essentially established branches of their military wings in the country, and built a military infrastructure both inside and outside the Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon. They have thereby turned South Lebanon, or the country as a whole, into another arena for Palestinian military action, waged not only by Palestinian and Lebanese operatives, but by fighters from other countries as well. In fact, Hamas recently announced the establishment of an official new affiliate in Lebanon, the Vanguards of the Al-Aqsa Flood organization. Shortly before the October 7 attack, the PIJ likewise announced the establishment of a military branch in Lebanon.
In an article in the London-based Qatari daily Al-Arabi Al-Jadid, Jordanian journalist Hilmi Al-Asmar writes that Hamas' October 7 attack, in which some 1,200 people were murdered and 241 were taken hostage, was not an act of terror but a legitimate act of resistance to the Israeli occupation that is sanctioned by international law. The taking of the Israeli hostages is likewise legitimate resistance according to international law and international conventions, he says. Al-Asmar explains that the Gaza Envelope area – which, it must be stressed, is not part of the territories occupied by Israel in 1967 – is occupied land that belongs to the refugees who were expelled to the Gaza Strip. Therefore, these refugees are not only entitled but obligated by law to resist the occupation. He also comes out against the Western countries and the Arab regimes that regard Hamas and other Palestinian organizations as terrorist and deny their right to resist the occupation.
Brussels-based Palestinian activist Amjad AbuKoush posted a video on his Facebook page on March 7, 2024, in which he voiced severe criticism of Hamas, Al-Jazeera, and Qatar. He said that Palestinians are paying the price for Hamas's policies throughout the past 17 years. AbuKoush said that Hams has declared that this is a "victorious" war for the liberation of Jerusalem, but its maximal demands in its negotiations are that Israel withdraws from Gaza and the Strip is rebuilt, while Israel was not in Gaza prior to the war and the Strip did not need rebuilding then. He added that Hamas gave the "filthiest and lowest occupation in history" a pretext because of their "stupidity."
AbuKoush continued to say that both Netanyahu and Hamas have no incentive to reach an agreement. He slammed Hamas for creating a "chasm" with Arab countries, such as Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, which cannot be expected to support Hamas now after they were treated poorly by Hamas. AbuKoush said that it seems as though Al-Jazeera does not want the bloodshed to stop. He added that Qatar is a small county that gains its role in the world by appropriating Palestinian decision-making and that the only way to sustain its role is with more Palestinian blood. AbuKoush said: "As Palestinians, we have the right to reject this, we have the right to say: Stop it, you bastards!"
In a poem he published in the Qatari daily Al-Watan, Palestinian columnist Samir Al-Barghouti calls on the Palestinians to "cause the outbreak of an April 7 [attack] in Tel Aviv" (i.e., an attack similar to Hamas' October 7 massacre) in response to the U.S. initiatives of parachuting food into Gaza and of building a temporary port there for the delivery of aid. In the poem Barghouti writes that "nobody dies of hunger" and that the Palestinians must "blow up anything within reach," " fill the crossings with fire," and "set the waters of the Mediterranean ablaze, from Rafah [in the south] to Ras Nakura [in the north]." They must also teach their children to "carry gear even as they learn to speak," he writes.
The publication of this poem is part of Qatar's ongoing support for Hamas and of the incitement to violence and terror against Israel in the Qatari media.[1] It is also an expression of Qatar's displeasure with America's Gaza port initiative.
...Husam Badran: "The responsibility for all the martyrs and victims rests only with Israel. Occupation is the main cause of all these; and this occupation is the cause of all chaos and injustice in our region... In the last 20 years, 25,000 of our people have been martyred... Therefore, the whole case should be clear to the entire Afghan nation and the world that the Israeli occupation is the cause of all the troubles, and Israel is responsible for all the blood that has been or will be shed."
