Quote: “We must teach Israel a lesson, and we will do it again and again. The Al-Aqsa Deluge [the name Hamas gave its 7 October onslaught - ed.] is just the first time, and there will be a second, a third, a fourth. Will we have to pay a price? Yes, and we are ready to pay it. We are called a nation of martyrs, and we are proud to sacrifice martyrs.”
MEMRI may have an agenda, but they literally just translate public statements from Arabic to English. If you think there’s an inaccuracy in the translation, please let me know.
Edit: Someone here is implying that Hamas official Ghazi Hamad didn’t say what he said, so let me also share these additional links:
Link to the original unedited broadcast
Link to the source article (Dated Yesterday)
Link to the Reporter’s bio
Link to an English Interview with Ghazi Hamad on NBC in which he defended his words and reiterated, “What do you want us to do? To stop? No, I am talking about we want to continue (fighting) against the occupation.”

If you claim that protesting an ongoing genocide is “anti-semitic”, you’re the actual antisemite. Stop throwing shit on Jewish people.
It’s pretty wild here now, that’s for sure. I think it wasn’t that bad even on reddit
