A Hamas leader warned Friday that if Israel doesn’t lift its “siege” on the Gaza Strip within a week, Palestinians worldwide will “explode in the faces” of their enemies.
“They think that we are rational people. Well, we aren’t,” said Fathi Hammad, a member of the Hamas political bureau.
He was speaking at a “March of Return” rally on Hamas’ Al-Aqsa television, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute.
Hammad said the 7 million Palestinians who live abroad have been “warming up” and “preparing” to attack.
“Enough warming up. … We must attack every Jew on planet Earth and slaughter and kill them,” he said.
“We say to the Zionist enemy that it has exactly one week – until next Friday. If it does not lift the siege by then, and if it does not implement the understandings [with Hamas] … we have many methods and means up our sleeves, and they are just waiting for the green light to powerfully explode in the face of the enemy, Allah willing.”
Hammad said Israel must lift the siege by Friday.
“They think that we are rational people. Well, we aren’t. The people of Gaza are not rational. For 70 years in Gaza, the Zionist enemy tried to change our genes. [Our genes] have not changed. On the contrary, they have progressed even more, and they are ready to blow up in the face of the enemies, Allah willing. You have one week, oh Zionist enemy! If you do not lift the siege… Well, we will not die standing [idly by]. We will not die of starvation. If we die, it will be while we are killing you and cutting off your heads, Allah willing.”
He said the uprising will be global.
“If you don’t lift the siege, we will explode in the faces of our enemies, Allah willing. And the explosion won’t just be in Gaza – it will also be in the West Bank and abroad, Allah willing. Our brothers abroad are still preparing. They are warming up… They have been warming up for a year and a half… Oh, you seven million Palestinians abroad, enough warming up! There are Jews everywhere! We must attack every Jew on planet Earth – we must slaughter and kill them, with Allah’s help. Enough warming up!”
Hammad urged residents of the West Bank, the larger area under the Palestinian Authority, to attack.
“And I say to those in the West Bank: How long will you sit in silence? You can buy knives for five shekels! How much is the neck of a Jew worth to us – isn’t it worth five shekels, or even less?
“By Allah, [the Jews] will be killed by our [explosive] belts, Allah willing! There are new factories for [explosive] belts and they are up and running. Anybody who wants one can wait his turn… you can have one, and you, and you. … Go!” he said.
“If we die, we die – but we will die with honor, while attacking, and not while retreating! We will die while exploding and cutting the necks and legs of the Jews! We will lacerate them and tear them to pieces, Allah willing.”
