“Fact. Over these months Israel has dropped more bombs on Gaza than the allied forces on Germany during a two-year period of WWII. It’s fired some 30,000 air-to-ground munitions, 50 per cent of them unguided and launched more than 15,000 tank shells into our residences,…

“Fact. Half a million Gazans are starving. Denied food, water, medicine and medical support, hundreds of thousands of our people are sick with the likelihood of out-of-control infectious diseases to claim countless numbers of other civilian lives in the days to come.”

For years we have been vilified and criminalized from afar by various Western governments, political leaders and movements and their hired agents. Hamas is this… Hamas is that … Hamas did this … Hamas did that. For decades, we have been subject to non-stop verbal attacks, lies and disinformation which has sought to recraft us from a national liberation movement and the elected representative of the people of Gaza into “terrorists” who care not for Palestine and its needs and independence, but the chase of personal fame and benefit.
Once again in the recently concluded two-day hearing brought by South Africa before the International Court of Justice, not on our behalf, but that of international law and justice, Israel spent its entire defense relying on rampant hearsay, a fabric of lies and an obvious strategy of deflection. Before responding to this symphony of distortion let us make clear certain fundamental undeniable points:
Hamas was elected by Palestinians in Gaza more than fifteen years ago in a process described by then international monitor former President Jimmy Carter as the fullest and fairest he had ever observed. All these years later we still serve in that capacity not because we have refused or prevented our Palestinian families and community from holding new elections, but because Israel has done everything in its power to ensure that full and free elections will not happen, fearing that Hamas would not only once again win in Gaza, but throughout the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem. Our candidates have been detained, essentially indefinitely, without formal charge or trial in a military system; universities have been raided and closed and students arrested whenever they dared to hold political rallies or debates let alone elections to see who would speak on their behalf; and, finally, our political leaders, activists and candidates have often been executed by Israeli military and security forces, or by so-called settlers. So please, spare us the indictment that we are a despotic movement interested in maintaining power at all costs rather than one which seeks to participate in full, fair and free elections across all of Palestine and which will abide by those results whatever they may be.
