Statement to Agence France-Presse after Twitter bans the account of the Qassam Brigades:

“This is proof of the moral bankruptcy of the (Israeli) occupation in fighting any vocal resistance to it, and is an attempt to wipe out the truth and hide the crimes of the Zionist occupation against Palestinian civilians. Twitter’s administration are exercising double standards. They’re giving credibility to the Zionist (Israeli) army, allowing it to practice its terrorism against the innocent and use its Twitter account to wage threats. But they’re censoring the Qassam Brigades account, which exposes the hostilities of the terrorist Zionist army and shows the truth. This is a clear violation of Twitter’s rules and regulations.”Agence France-Presse, “Hamas armed wing’s Twitter account shelved,” Times of Israel, January 23, 2014, https://www.timesofisrael.com/hamas-armed-wings-twitter-account-shelved/.
