Statement condemning a planned Israeli gay pride parade in Jerusalem:

“We, the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, strongly condemn the fascist occupation authorities for allowing the organization of a provocative march for ‘perverts,’ which is scheduled to roam the streets of occupied Jerusalem on Thursday. We call on the masses of our stationed Palestinian people to confront these measures in defense of the Arabism of Jerusalem and the Islamism of Al-Aqsa Mosque. We also call on the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to condemn these violations and put pressure on the occupation in international forums to stop them, and to strengthen the boycott of the occupation at all levels.” “Hamas condemns Jerusalem Pride march, calls for confrontation,” Jerusalem Post, May 31, 2023, https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-744752.

“The theory of gender [fluidity and homosexuality] is like ISIS, because it threatens society and is an attack on our identity. In a difficult moment we should reinstate the true values, while the gay propaganda boosts the already worrisome decrease of the Italian demographic.”Micol Sarfatti, “Roberto Fiore (Forza Nuova) in Regione Lombardia: ‘La teoria gender è come l’Isis,’” Huffington Post Italy, March 17, 2015, http://www.huffingtonpost.it/2015/03/17/fiore-regione-lombardia_n_6883470.html.

“The U.S. is an empire of vain desires, one which under the guise of liberty permits and spreads every crime, sin, and deviation from proper human nature. The U.S. and the West permit freedom of expression about all forms of apostasy and corruption; they permit everything, except telling a truth that brings shame upon them. The U.S.'s open corruption takes place at the highest level – that is, [at the level of] the president of the U.S. himself, who has approved a law permitting homosexuals to join the military, a matter that demonstrates the level of degeneration to which this people has sunk… Steven Stalinsky, “American-Yemeni Al-Qaeda Cleric Anwar Al-Awlaki Highlights the Role and Importance of Media Jihad, Praises Al-Jazeera TV Journalists and WikiLeaks,” Middle East Media Research Institute, March 15, 2011, http://www.memri.org/report/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/5096.htm.

Extremists: Their Words. Their Actions.

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. In the biggest attack on Jewish life in a single day since the Holocaust, 1,200 were killed, and 251 were taken hostage into Gaza—where 101 remain. One year on, antisemitic incidents have increased by record numbers.
