Hamas statement, February 29, 2024
Body
“We hold the Zionist occupation, its fascist government, its Nazi army, President Biden, and the American administration fully responsible for this massacre, and for the escalation of the war of genocide and ethnic cleansing against our people.
“We have mercy on the souls of our people’s martyrs, and we affirm that their sacrifices and blood will not be in vain, and that we will remain loyal to our cause, our land, and our sanctities.”
Fact:
On October 7, 2023, Hamas invaded southern Israel where, in the space of eight hours, hundreds of armed terrorists perpetrated mass crimes of brutality, rape, and torture against men, women and children.

One year on, antisemitic incidents have increased by record numbers.
