'We have the Israelis where we want them': Sinwar's words revealed
JERUSALEM POST ^ | JUNE 11, 2024 | JERUSALEM POST STAFF

According to a Wall Street Journal report, Yahya Sinwar has been in direct contact with Hamas leaders in Qatar, saying civilian casualties are "necessary sacrifices."

A Wall Street Journal report has revealed messages penned by Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip, Yahya Sinwar, to various Hamas officials and hostage deal mediators.

According to the report, referring to the war, Sinwar recently wrote to Hamas officials negotiating a hostage deal, “We have the Israelis right where we want them.”

In a message to Hamas leaders in Qatar, Sinwar presented as an example the civilian casualties during the Algerian war, affirming such casualties “are necessary sacrifices."

In a similar vein, when the three sons of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh were killed in an Israel Air Force (IAF) strike in Gaza in April, Sinwar affirmed both their deaths and that of other Palestinians would “infuse life into the veins of this nation, prompting it to rise to its glory and honor.”

Regarding civilian women and children being taken hostages by Palestinian mobs on October 7, the WSJ report cites his messages to negotiators as saying, “Things went out of control.” “People got caught up in this, and that shouldn't have happened,” he claimed.

No reconciliation

Sinwar was also reportedly discontent with Hamas officials meeting with other factions in December to debate reconciliation after the war, which he labeled “shameful and outrageous.”

He reportedly added, “As long as fighters are still standing and we have not lost the war, such contacts should be immediately terminated.” He further stated, “We have the capabilities to continue fighting for months.”

Referring to a ground operation in Rafah, Sinwar wrote to Hamas leaders in Qatar that “Israel’s journey in Rafah won’t be a walk in the park.”

The WSJ report also noted that Sinwar’s recent messages to Hamas allies illustrate an inclination to die while fighting. He equated the Gaza war to the battle of Karbala in Iraq, which occurred in the 7th century and in which the grandson of the prophet Muhammed was killed. “We have to move forward on the same path we started,” Sinwar said. “Or let it be a new Karbala.”

I believe what he means is that the blowback on Israel is part of Hamas' plan.

Happens every time. Hamas does something bad to Israel, world just tsk, tsks. Israel retaliates, world goes into a lather.

Every time. Glad Israel is not kowtowing to the US or UN this time. Well, not as much.

It appears that Sinwar doesn’t consider the dead Palestinians to be collateral losses but calculated casualties for the benefit of the cause. That’s a serious distinction. He considers them to be expendable.

When he’s captured, Israel should consider applying the Eichmann exemption to his punishment.

I'd say he qualifies for 3 of the 4 exemptions, treason, genocide, crimes against humanity, and crimes against the Jewish people during wartime

Now it’s clear that one should not judge hamas until having the opportunity to behold how inspiring their seal with the m16 wielding terrorist is lolz

>> ,Yahya Sinwar ...[sez] civilian casualties are “necessary sacrifices.”

OMG! I actually AGREE with ol’ Yahya!

Butcher as many Palis as required to thoroughly annhilate Hamas with minimal Israeli inconvenience and casualty.

And when they’re done laying waste to Hamas, run over a few more to grease the tank treads for the trip home. 👍🏻😆

I think that is what Sennacherib said to Israel just before he left with his tail between his legs.

Find him and kill him. If he can be photographed, he can be found. If he can be found, he can be killed. A necessary sacrifice.

One of my favorite quotes ever. Begin was that rare man that let the entire world know that he didn’t give a damn what the thought of him, his country or his people. In him, you had an example of the courage of Joshua and King David.
