UN Relief Chief Martin Griffiths told a representative from Sky News on Wednesday that he did not consider Hamas to be a terrorist group.

Asked about the feasibility of Israel’s military goal to eliminate Hamas and disallow the terrorist group from having any governing say in Gaza, Griffiths responded “Hamas is not a terrorist group for us, as you know, it is a political movement. But, I think it is very very difficult to dislodge these groups without a negotiated solution; which includes their aspirations.

“I cannot think of an example offhand of a place where a victory through warfare has succeeded against a well-entrenched group, terrorist or otherwise.”

      Do explain the word “fundamentalist” for Hamas if you know your linguistics so well.

        Seriously, do you read anyone’s comments or do you just reply to people at random and just say random shit?

          You used the word fundamentalist in your comment to describe Hamas. Explain the word and how it applies to Hamas as you clearly have no idea what Hamas even is.

            Please read what I wrote, because you clearly did not read it. Either that or you’re just lying. But I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and say it’s the former.
