Asked in an Al Arabiya interview about comparisons between Hamas and ISIS after Hamas’s October 7 attack:

“This accusation is fabricated by Netanyahu and unfortunately, the West is complicit. Nations, my dear sister, are not easily liberated. The Russians sacrificed 30 million people in World War II, in order to be free of Hitler’s attack. The Vietnamese sacrificed 3.5 million people until they defeated the Americans. Afghanistan sacrificed millions of martyrs to defeat the USSR and then the U.S. The Algerian people sacrificed six million martyrs over 130 years. The Palestinian people are just like any other nation. No nation is liberated without sacrifices.”“Exclusive: ‘Israel will kill us, whether we resist or not,’ says former Hamas chief,” Al Arabiya, last updated October 21, 2023, https://english.alarabiya.net/News/middle-east/2023/10/19/-Israel-is-killing-us-whether-we-resist-or-not-says-former-Hamas-chief.
