Hamas has called on Israel to allow an impartial international investigation into its attack on 7 October 2023 and has rejected that it killed civilians or committed atrocities.
“The resistance did not target any hospital, school, or house of worship; it did not kill a single journalist or any member of ambulance crews. We challenge [Israel] to prove otherwise,” it said.
In the new document, Hamas said that “Western media and Zionist lobby groups” had launched a disinformation campaign about the events of the attack.
“The Israeli entity promoted a series of lies and fallacies about killing children and raping women, paving the way to proceed with an all-out genocide project that was pre-planned and aimed to erase Gaza from existence,” it said.
They’re fundamentally different from Hamas because, despite the claims of Zionist atrocity propaganda, Hamas is a legitimate resistance movement fighting against foreign occupation while Zionist settlers seek to not only impose such an occupation but also drive the natives out (even Hamas doesn’t seek to eradicate all the Jews despite Zionist claims, colonizers have always feared that the people they seek to exterminate will try to exterminate them).
