Why would anyone care about people who claim to love death more than westerners love life? Except for misguided empathy?
Notable Instances:
• Ismail Haniyeh, former Hamas Prime Minister, declared:
“We love death like our enemies love life! We love Martyrdom, the way in which [Hamas] leaders died.”
• Muhammad Deif, commander of Hamas’s military wing, stated:
“Today you [Israelis] are fighting divine soldiers, who love death for Allah like you love life, and who compete among themselves for Martyrdom like you flee from death.”
• Fathi Hammad, a Hamas official, remarked:
“We desire death as you desire life.”
