Hamas Movement slammed the Lebanese TV channel LBC over a report the channel aired on Monday night equaling the Palestinian resistance operations with terrorism attacks.
The Movement said in a statement on Tuesday that resisting the Israeli occupation is a legitimate right of the Palestinian people and is endorsed by the international laws and human rights conventions.
In a message sent by Hamas to LBC regarding the report it broadcasted about terrorism attacks on nightclubs around the world and included resistance operations carried out by the Qassam Brigades the armed wing of Hamas against Israeli targets in 2001 and 2002 the Movement said “The Palestinian people are fighting for freedom and ending the occupation.”
Hamas emphasized that the motives and aims of terrorism are completely different from the motives and aims of resistance pointing out that the Palestinian people are the most affected by terrorist attacks and are defending themselves and their lands.
