“one only has to read…”
One has only to listen to Muslims to see how they view themselves.
“is it true that…”
No.
On the other hand, In both Gaza and Lebanon the possibility exists
of a normalization of relations with Israel, leading in all probability
to an economic upturn.
So why do Hezbollah and Hamas prioritize weapons and war
rather than peace and welfare?
Why are they spurred on in doing so by Iran,
a country that has neither a territorial dispute with Israel
nor a Palestinian refugee problem?
This is the answer given by Hezbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah:
“Israel is a cancer in the region and when a tumour is discovered,
it must be cut out.”
And here is what Khaled Mash’al, leader of Hamas, said:
“Before Israel dies, it must be humiliated and degraded. …
We will make them lose their eyesight,
we will make them lose their brains.”
