There is no such thing as Palestine or a Palestinian. It is a propaganda war intended to destroy the Jews.

Senior leader of Hamas Mahmoud al-Zahhar said all options are available to confront the Israeli “occupation”, including armed and popular resistance and resistance of boycott.

Armed resistance is not a political issue that may be negotiated, said al-Zahhar in a meeting organized by Hamas and the Islamic Jihad in Khan Younis City on Sunday to commemorate the day Jerusalem was occupied.

“It is neither a controversial, nor a negotiable issue; it is, rather, dogmatic fundamental cause in struggle with Israel,” said al-Zahhar, referring to armed resistance, pointing out that Israel has long sought to “erase the Palestinian constants”, concerning the Palestinian lands, Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Al-Zahhar stressed that the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) refuses a Palestinian state within the 1967 or 1948 territories, saying “Our policy is Palestine, all of Palestine” [that means all of Israel]. He explained that [so-called] “Palestine” as a whole is a part of the Islamic dogma that is derived from the “Holy Qura’an”.

Speaking of relations with the Islamic Jihad, al-Zahhar confirmed that both movements cooperate at political, security, military, and syndicate levels. Political leaders meet continuously, said al-Zahhar. At military level, there is a full coordination between Hamas and the Islamic Jihad, he added.

Al-Zahhar expressed his aspirations that both movements would unit, alongside with other Palestinian parties, to confront the “Israeli occupier”.
