Hamas political leader Khalid Mashaal
Hamas political leader Khalid Mashaal says Palestinians have been the
subject of a holocaust since Israel came into being in 1948.
"Israel is using the Holocaust as a cover to do what it wants," Mashaal said
on Saturday.
He said that the Zionist regime is 'using the Holocaust' as a pretext to
justify its atrocities against the Palestinians.
The Hamas political leader condemned Israel's air and overland raids which
killed 49 Palestinians in the coastal strip and injured more than 150 people
only on Saturday.
A majority of those killed are civilians, according to Palestinian Health
Ministry officials.
He also took a swipe at the international community for their failure in
putting an end to the Israeli cruelties, describing 'those who keep quite as
accomplices to Israeli crimes'.
"If the world cannot end the occupation... then it is our right to defend
ourselves," he said. "When the battle is imposed on us, the only thing left
is resistance," he said.
Mashaal also said Palestinian Authority Chief Mahmoud Abbas provides the
Israeli regime with 'a cover, voluntarily or involuntarily', to carry out
its assault on Gaza.
