Joint AQIM-JNIM statement praising Hamas and encouraging violence on Israel:

“We congratulate your actions and urge you to continue, biting your teeth with patience on the path of jihad…complete what you began and seek help from God alone for it is He who guarantees victory…we in al-Qaeda are racing against time to obtain the ability to reach you to liberate Jerusalem. Our ranks are stacked together, loud and boastful…Hasten and seek forgiveness from your Lord…and light a fire in the West Bank under the feet of the Jews…so rise up and fight the Jews and those who protect the Jews.” Caleb Weiss, “Al-Qaeda’s North and West African branches respond to the Hamas-led invasion of Israel,” Foundation for Defense of Democracies, October 13, 2023, https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2023/10/13/al-qaedas-north-and-west-african-branches-respond-to-the-hamas-led-invasion-of-israel/.

“For more than seven decades, the world has witnessed the Israeli occupation and its fascist government’s awful attacks against the Palestinian people, children, women, and elderly people.

“The world has seen how the Israeli occupation continues to colonize Palestinian lands, Judaize Palestinian territories, establish settlements, desecrate Muslim and Christian places, kill Palestinians in cold blood, insult Palestinian women, and attack Palestinian detainees in Israeli jails. All of these crimes happened amid international silence, and therefore the occupation escalated its terrorism and aggression until the Israeli occupation crimes became too aggravated.”Hamas Online, Telegram, October 9, 2023.

“Thirty years have passed since the so-called Oslo Accords, which were orchestrated to serve the Israeli occupation and its settler colonial project. These agreements have inflicted nothing but more suffering, agony, and tragedies upon the Palestinian people.

“Given the devastating aftermath of these accords, which have manifested in the loss of Palestinian lives, forced displacements, abductions, the occupation and seizure of our historic lands, and the ongoing efforts to Judaise Muslim and Christian holy sites, and in the midst of the escalating aggression and atrocities perpetrated by the Israeli occupation government against the Palestinian people, the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas states the following:

“First: The Palestinian people's unwavering support for the resistance project conveys a clear message that resistance and struggle are the only way to achieve liberation and the establishment of a Palestinian state.

“Second: We reiterate our firm stance against all agreements that compromise our principles and national rights and call on the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) to recognise the failure of the "Oslo" accords and terminate them.

“Third: We also call on the PLO to withdraw recognition of the Israeli occupation entity and work towards restructuring the Palestinian house and achieving national unity.”“Statement on 30th anniversary of infamous ‘Oslo Accords,’” Hamas, September 13, 2023, https://hamas.ps/en/post/4929/Statement-on-30th-anniversary-of-infamous-Oslo-Accords.

“The Devil is not a theoretical enemy. He has a party that abides by his orders. As will be shown, this party of the Devil is led by the Jews.

“The Jews are the soldiers who serve the Devil – this is the Jewish lobby that controls the decision-making, the media, the economy, the dollar, the weapons trade, and so on. This is no longer a conspiracy theory. This has become clear.”“Iraqi Shi’ite Militia Leader Qais Al-Khazali: The Jews Are The Soldiers Of The Devil, Control Global Affairs; The Jewish Lobby Murdered Prophet Muhammad And Imam Ali,” MEMRI, August 13, 2023, https://www.memri.org/tv/iraqi-shiite-militia-leader-khazali-jews-soldiers-devil-murdered-muhammad.

“It was the Jews – the Jewish lobby – that murdered the fathers and forefathers of the Prophet Muhammad. This point does not require further proof, right? Secondly, it was the Jewish lobby that assassinated the Prophet Muhammad. You can check it out to see that I am right. Thirdly, I say – and Allah willing, I will prove – that it was the Jewish lobby that murdered Ali bin Abu Taleb.

…

“Fourthly, I say – and Allah willing, I will prove – that it was the Jewish lobby who was behind the murder of all the Imams.

“Regardless of who was the actual perpetrator... The Jewish lobby is the reason for the occultation of the Hidden Imam. It is the Jewish lobby that is searching for the Hidden Imam, and they might do anything in order to murder him.”“Iraqi Shi’ite Militia Leader Qais Al-Khazali: The Jews Are The Soldiers Of The Devil, Control Global Affairs; The Jewish Lobby Murdered Prophet Muhammad And Imam Ali,” MEMRI, August 13, 2023, https://www.memri.org/tv/iraqi-shiite-militia-leader-khazali-jews-soldiers-devil-murdered-muhammad.

Speech accusing Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency of complicity in the death of Imam Ali bin Abi Talib in the seventh century:

“Qatam was a prostitute. What had been the modus operandi of the Israeli-Jewish intelligence agency? What do we know about them? How do they get their sources? It is either through money or through women. Right? In this case, it was a woman. There is no doubt that she worked for the Israeli Mossad back then, and through her, they recruited [Imam Ali's killer]. Abd Al-Satan Ibn Criminal [i.e. Abd Al-Rahman Ibn Mujlam].”“Iraqi Shi’ite Militia Leader Qais Al-Khazali: The Israeli Mossad Used A Prostitute To Assassinate Imam Ali In The 7th Century,” MEMRI, May 15, 2023, https://www.memri.org/reports/iraqi-shiite-militia-leader-qais-al-khazali-israeli-mossad-used-prostitute-assassinate-imam.

“The Jewish entity proudly celebrates its brutal occupation and usurpation of the blessed land of Palestine. Another shameful and painful reminder of the brazenness of the Jewish entity whose filth soils the sacred sites of the blessed land of Palestine before the eyes of the neighboring Muslim countries. The rows of flags of the Jewish entity hoisted above for all to see, the occupiers celebrate their holidays all the while desecrating the Muslim prayer sites and all too recently in the holy month of Ramadan – Masjid Al-Aqsa smashing the furniture and beating the worshippers on the blessed nights – as a reminder again for the idle armed forces of the Muslim forces. The settlers also stormed into the Aqsa compound with their flags making their way into Bab Al-Rahma provoking the Palestinians.

“The flags represent the existence of the state that is the enemy to the people of Palestine and its lands and sanctities. Its existence that was founded by the British empire to become and remain a thorn in the heart of the Muslim lands of the Middle East to obstruct their unity as one Islamic Ummah that radiate power and brotherhood to the other Muslim lands in the Asian continent and African continent to unite as one Ummah.”Hizb ut-Tahrir Australia, Facebook post, May 3, 2023, 2:09 p.m., https://www.facebook.com/hizbaust/posts/pfbid02kGsy9F3LMHFqqNB3b6QjKpEoGyub2F7ApXym12moBBSFJKhZxgVYfuaBQh98D9Kl.

“You have millions of Muslims in Europe. Why should they keep silent when they see that the holy places are insulted or stormed by Jews? It means you are creating … a new conflict area in France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and America. Everywhere.

“I have to recall that it is not a conflict between Gaza and Israel – it is a conflict between Palestinians everywhere and Israel. And if it is about the holy places, it means that you are recruiting millions and millions of Muslims to the same conflict.

“And you are converting a political conflict into a religious one, which makes it very, very complicated and much more difficult to solve … There’s no negotiation, compromise or coexistence … because it is all or none.”Eliyahu Freedman, “Before Flag Day, Hamas warns tensions turning more religious,” Al Jazeera, May 17, 2023, https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2023/5/17/before-flag-day-hamas-warns-tensions-turning-more-religious.

“The Hamas movement believes that this day is a chance to unify the efforts of the Ummah and the free peoples of the world that are aimed to support of the Palestinian people’s rights and freedom struggle against the Israeli occupation.

“First: Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque are the core of the Palestinian struggle against the Israeli occupation, which occupies our Palestinian homeland, kills and displaces our Palestinian people and Judaizes their holy sites. They will remain at the heart of Palestine and the Muslim world, which has a collective responsibility to liberate them from the fascist occupation.

“Second: We call on the Arab and Muslim nations to mobilise all efforts at the political, diplomatic, media, and humanitarian levels in order to rally more support for our Palestinian people, who are standing steadfast on their historical homeland, and back Palestinian worshippers at the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

“Third: We hail our Palestinian people at home and in refugee camps abroad who have embraced the option of comprehensive resistance to defend their homeland, Jerusalem, Palestinian detainees, and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. We will continue endorsing such an approach until our Palestinian people restore their legitimate rights and achieve their aspirations for freedom and a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.” “Press release on International Quds Day,” Hamas, April 14, 2023, https://hamas.ps/en/post/4675/Press-release-on-International-Quds-Day.

“Hamas calls on the Palestinian residents of the West Bank and the 1948 occupied territories to participate in tomorrow’s Friday prayers to express solidarity with the Al-Aqsa and protest against continued Israeli crimes and Judaization plans.

“We also salute the steadfast Palestinian people who are prepared to defend the Muslims’ holy compound at any cost.”https://hamas.ps/en/post/4673/Hamas-calls-on-Palestinians-to-mobilise-for-tomorrow-s-Friday-prayers.
