Here is a very strange thing. For years, western media outlets and politicians have been recklessly indifferent to the fact that Hamas is not a jihadist movement, like al-Qaeda or Islamic State, but a specifically Palestinian national resistance movement โ€“ if one underpinned by an Islamist ideology that distinguishes it from secular Palestinian national movements like Fatah

 

But Hamas, unlike al-Qaeda and Islamic State, is not seeking to recreate a caliphate embracing all Muslims wherever they live, indifferent to national borders. It wants to create a Palestinian state in Palestine. Israel is determined to stop any Palestinian state emerging, even it means committing genocide.

 

Hamas does not demand strict adherence to religious law, and it does not prioritise Islam over Palestinian national identity.

 

It is not, as Israel and its apologists in the West try to persuade us, part of some Islamic crusade, waging a global war against the values of a supposed Judeo-Christian โ€œcivilisationโ€.
