Aussie Dave notes that the “military wing” of Hamas, the Al-Qassam Brigades, has suffered the indignity of being cashiered by its Russian web host. Al-Qassam’s homepage now features a press release alerting visitors to this latest instance of Zionist usurpation.
But don’t let the hackneyed rhetoric distract you from noticing that the press release says something very important about how Hamas views its campaign against Israel:
Our engineers are working for re-opening Al Qassam website to the World Wide Web soon and we would say that these attacks and harassments will not deter us from continuing our electronic resistance and delivering the voice and the Palestinian resistance, which defends the Palestinian people, and it is striving to recover the usurped rights, because we are aware that the battle media battle is as important as the battle field with the Zionist occupation.
You have to give Hamas credit for understanding this point far better than the Israeli government does.
