'Hamas is an organization for liberation of its people'

Tehran, IRNA – In an interview with the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), Sa'ad Nimer, the renowned professor of political science at Birzeit University in Palestine, explained why the accusation of terrorism against Hamas is absurd.

"Well, first of all, Israel is always trying to demonize the Palestinians or to describe the Palestinian resistance in general as terrorists and weekly after the seventh of October, they tried even to portray Hamas and the Palestinian Resistance as Daesh which is something absolutely unbelievable because you know by the end of the day when we talk about Hamas, it is an organization of liberation for its own people," Nimer said.

"First of all, does Hamas have any actions outside Palestine against other people like Daesh or other terrorist groups? Definitely not. It is concerned only with the liberation of Palestine and ending the occupation of Palestine, so it is definitely not a terrorist group in this respect."

"Secondly, they can’t eliminate easily it because Hamas is not an American or only a small group that you can you know get rid of. It is an integral part of the Palestinian society and an integral part of the Palestinian people and if you eliminate Hamas in Gaza what about Hamas in the West Bank?"

Regarding the idea of elimination of Hamad, he said, "It is absolutely absurd to talk about eliminating Hamas."

"The other thing is that Hamas is a grass-root-oriented organization so you can find it in the hearts of all Palestinian more or less because most of the Palestinians are in support of the Palestinian Resistance against this occupation."

"This occupation which continued for the last 75 years and had an atrocity against the Palestinian people in so many ways would bring the Palestinian Resistance. The Palestinian resistance started in 1967 after the occupation and even after 1948 there was also Palestinian resistance. All the years, since the beginning of this colonialist state was created in our area, the Palestinian people have been continuously fighting and struggling and resisting this colonialist state and this colonial occupation."

He also said that there is no need for Hamas to carry weapons because "(Hamas) is not Daesh, it is not al Qaeda, it is not any other organization that they can eliminate as easily as they think or as they described it."

Reminding the fact that even in the second Intifada, during Sharon and after 9/11, the Zionists "tried to describe the Palestinian Resistance to the Israeli occupation", he also said that "Nelson Mandela was also described as a terrorist at some stage and later he became a freedom fighter and the person that everyone is proud of because he carried a struggle against the apartheid regime in South Africa and he won by the end of the day."
