 “[T]he current victories achieved in Palestine have been unable to be achieved by all the Arab armies…all the Arab leaders abandoned the Palestinian cause, and only the Islamic Revolution [referring to Iran] and the resistance factions remain with it…if America intervenes in Palestine, we will be forced to intervene and will not hesitate to target [US personnel].”Joe Truzman, “Other Iraqi groups, figures join the fray warning the United States against support for Israel,” Long War Journal, October 11, 2023, https://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2023/10/other-iraqi-groups-figures-join-the-fray-warning-the-united-states-against-support-for-israel.php.

From Hamas’s “Our Narrative… Operation Al-Aqsa Flood”:

“The US administration and its western allies have always been treating Israel as a state above the law; they provide it with the needed cover to maintain prolonging the occupation and cracking down the Palestinian people, and also allowing “Israel” to exploit such situation to expropriate further Palestinian lands and to Judaize their sanctities and holy sites.”“Our Narrative… Operation Al-Aqsa Flood,” Hamas Online Telegram Channel, January 21, 2024.

“We tell the Americans that your actions against Yemen will be defeated and we will confront you with all of our power. After this aggression, Yemen will turn into the graveyard of the Americans and they will leave the region in humiliation.”“Ansarullah: Yemen to become graveyard of Americans after US aggression,” Islamic Republic News Agency, January 15, 2024, https://en.irna.ir/news/85354714/Ansarullah-Yemen-to-become-graveyard-of-Americans-after-US-aggression.

“The Yemeni armed forces are responding forcefully to the American and British warships in the Red Sea, sparking a fierce war in the Red Sea and targeting American and British military sites and bases...and what is coming is greater.”Alperen Aktas, “Yemen’s response to American, British aggression not delayed: Houthi leader,” Anadolu Agency, January 12, 2024, https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/yemen-s-response-to-american-british-aggression-not-delayed-houthi-leader/3106702.

“The American administration bears political, legal, moral and humanitarian responsibility for the suffering, pain, killing and displacement of more than two million Palestinian citizens in the Gaza Strip.

“The American administration’s failure to issue UN Security Council resolutions to stop the aggression, and challenging the will and positions of 153 countries in the United Nations General Assembly demanding to stop the aggression, makes this administration a pariah and sponsor of Zionist terrorism.

“This administration’s positions and support for the occupation and its crimes will increase its isolation and loss, politically, diplomatically, popularly, and its alleged moral image, and confirm its relationship with and sponsorship of all forms of terrorism in the world.”“Press Statement,” Hamas Online Telegram Channel, January 10, 2024.

Statement entitled, “And Kill Them Wherever You find Them”:

“Lions of Islam: Chase your preys whether Jewish, Christian or their allies, on the streets and roads of America, Europe, and the world. Break into their homes, kill them and steal their peace of mind by any means you can lay hands on. Understand that you are the arm of the Islamic State hitting in the kuffar’s homelands, and are avenging the Muslims in Palestine, Iraq, Sham, and other Muslim countries… Intentionally seek easy targets before hard ones, civilian targets before military one, religious targets like synagogues and churches before others, for this will satisfy the soul and will demonstrate the characteristics of the battle, as our battle with them is a religious one and we kill them wherever we come upon them in response to Allah Almighty’s command.”Abu Ḥudhayfah, “And Kill Them Wherever You find Them,” Halummu, January 4, 2024.

“The American administration’s endorsement of selling high-caliber artillery ammunition to the Zionist occupation entity amid the war of extermination conducted by its terrorist army against civilians in the Gaza Strip, and Secretary Blinken’s affirming the urgent provision of these ammunitions without Congress review, is a clear evidence of the American administration’s full sponsorship of this criminal war.

“The Biden administration conspicuously aligns itself with and actively supports all atrocities perpetrated by the occupation, encompassing the ruthless killing of children and civilians, forced displacement of residents, and the systematic destruction of civilian life in the Gaza Strip.

“We call on all nations across the globe, especially those supported ending the Zionist fascist aggression against the children and defenseless civilians in the United Nations General Assembly, to expose the unjust and criminal policies of the American administration. We implore them to take a resolute stand against these policies and lend their support to our Palestinian people’s pursuit of freedom and self-determination.”“Press Statement,” Hamas Online Telegram Channel, December 30, 2023.
