“We hold the Zionist occupation, its fascist government, its Nazi army, President Biden, and the American administration fully responsible for this massacre, and for the escalation of the war of genocide and ethnic cleansing against our people.

“We have mercy on the souls of our people’s martyrs, and we affirm that their sacrifices and blood will not be in vain, and that we will remain loyal to our cause, our land, and our sanctities.”“Press Statement,” Hamas Online Telegram Channel, February 29, 2024.

“We in the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) condemn in the strongest terms the use of the US President Joe Biden’s administration’s veto against the Algerian draft resolution in the Security Council, demanding an immediate ceasefire for humanitarian reasons and rejecting forced displacement. We consider the failure of this resolution to be a disruption of international will in service of the Nazi occupation’s agenda aimed at killing and displacing our Palestinian people.

“President Joe Biden and his administration bear direct responsibility for obstructing the issuance of a decision to stop the aggression against Gaza. The American position is a green light for the occupation to commit more massacres, and to kill our defenseless people through bombing and starvation, and a direct partnership in the war of extermination that it is committing against children and defenseless civilians in the Gaza Strip.”“**Press Statement**|,” Hamas Online Telegram Channel, February 20, 2024.

“These days in between the words of American officials we hear some unnecessary threats. We tell them, you have tested us in the battlefield and we have tested you. We will not leave any threat unanswered.

 “[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.

“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.
