In the name of Allah the most Gracious the most Merciful
“So lose not heart, nor fall into despair: for ye must gain mastery if ye are true in Faith.”
Our Palestinian, Arab and Islamic peoples:
We, in the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, in face of recent developments on the land of Palestine in general and in the Balata and Jenin refugee camps in particular would like to affirm the following:
1-We urge the Palestinian Authority to shoulder its role towards our people and to provide arms to Mujahideen instead of prosecuting them by certain apparatuses. We also call on them to end the farce of security meetings. Our people are wondering about what was taking place in those meetings and about feasibility of its continuation in the light of the continued repression against our people.
2-We invite the PA to benefit from the field unity lessons that boosted our people’s resoluteness in face of aggression for the sake of building national unity on the basis of resistance, steadfastness and confrontation against occupation.
3-We denounce Arab and Islamic silence towards the terrorism and repression against our people and wonder what is our Ummah waiting for? Will the response to such aggression remain silence as if the Ummah is not concerned with the matter? Our Arab and Islamic governments are called upon to immediately and urgently act to stop what was taking place through backing resistance and the Palestinian people’s steadfastness along with that people’s stand that sticks to national rights and rejects all forms of settlements with that usurping enemy.
4-We call on the Arab and Islamic parties and movements in addition to the Ummah’s scholars, intellectuals and politicians to shoulder their responsibilities towards what was going on in Palestine before, God forbid, the Sabra and Chatilla massacres are repeated on the land of Palestine.
5-The international community that continues to yell about peace and about halting the bloodletting is facing a test today over its credibility and over truthfulness of its principles and values. The community’s behavior reveals that its values were not real but rather hollow slogans aimed at protecting the occupation’s aggression on our people. It is high time that this community restored its awareness and checked the occupation’s crimes against our people.
6-We affirm that our Mujahideen in the Qassam Brigades along with all armed resistance brigades would continue to live up to the pledge and the enemy would soon suffer and its terrorism would never influence our determination Insha’allah.
“And Allah hath full power and control over His affairs; but most among mankind know it not.”
And it is a Jihad until either victory of martyrdom
