Senior Hamas official Moussa Abu Marzouk has submitted a lengthy witness statement to a British court, arguing that London should end its proscription of Hamas as a terror group.
The Palestinian group claims to be “a Palestinian Islamic liberation and resistance movement whose goal is to liberate Palestine and confront the Zionist project,” in a filing reported by the Drop Site News outlet.
Hamas openly seeks to destroy Israel, regularly attempts to kill Israeli civilians, and, on October 7, 2023, led an invasion by thousands of terrorists who systematically killed and kidnapped Israelis of all ages, including civilians at their homes and at a music festival, as well as British nationals.
In his statement, submitted on Wednesday, Abu Marzouk claimed the onslaught was solely directed at military targets, falsely asserting that the targeting of civilians that day was marginal or done mainly by non-Hamas members.
He accused Britain of complicity in the Israeli “genocide” against Palestinians by arming Israel, and claimed the group poses no threat to the United Kingdom.
Marzouk also stressed that “Hamas rejects any alternative to the full and complete liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea” — a demand that necessitates the eradication of Israel.
A legal team from Riverway Law representing Hamas pro bono — since it would be illegal to receive money from the group — argued that since Britain has a duty to prevent genocide and crimes against humanity, and since Hamas “is the only effective military force resisting – and seeking to end and prevent – the ongoing acts of genocide and crimes against humanity being committed by the Zionist State against the Palestinians in Gaza,” it should drop Hamas from the terrorism list, Drop Site reported.

Hamas urges UK court to remove terror label, claims it is fighting to promote the only justifiable genocide - first Israel, then the USA and all Christians.
There, fixed it.
didn’t they mean COMMITTING genocide? we all know how easily things get mixed up in translation.
AND—BEARS DO NOT CRAP IN THE WOODS....
Charge them with perjury and toss them in jail .
Right - battling to kill Jews.
As ridiculous and flawed as the reasoning is, I would not be surprised if the Great Britain of year 2025 quickly folds, and removes the ‘Terror Nation’ designation from Hamas.
Too many of England’s present leaders do not have a sense of patriotism, or the compulsion to protect the interests and the people of their nation.
Hamas tried to commit genocide on Oct 23rd 2023. But now it claims it was only fighting genocide. What chutzpah. Of course, the British will probably side with them — they are that far gone.
And the Jews and Christians are battling extinction being delivered by the Hamas jihadists. Yeah, leave it up to the UK to protect the Jihadies by making it illegal to defend yourself against their barbarism.
That G slur which genocidal Gaza regime uses. Ironically.
One side retaliates against terrorism. One side is accused of genocide, but doesn’t do it. The other side [Arab-Pakestine] actually would love to do it

If the Palies ain’t facing the IDF using tank mounted flamethrowers & towing guillotines then the Palies ain’t facing genocide.

What Hamas committed on October 7 and subsequently, satisfies the international criteria for a "rape genocide". I will try to find the background information supporting this.
In Allen’s book on Rape Warfare the author starts with a definition of genocidal rape and mentions how this was occurring during the Serbian-Bosnian wars of the 1990s. The author follows up with a definition of rape/death camps.
Many of the criteria mentioned also applies to the current Hamas conflict. It can thus be understood that Hamas is committing a rape genocide against the Israeli people, towns and kibbutzim in southern Israel.
Especially the third form of rape/genocide is being applied by Hamas currently. Namely, targeted women are imprisoned in rape/death camps, and are raped systematically for an extended period of time. Evidence comes from the statement of Trevor Noah that “the girls are alright but they are being horribly sexually exploited”. Images and videos of Hamas rape victims are available on the open internet.
Evidence of rape is implicit in Islamic Law for females captured during raids or war. See Ali Sina on the Hadith of Bukhari. It is expected that all females in this situation will be raped.
The rape/death camps in this case are the hospitals, other above ground structures and with the addition of below ground tunnel system. This satisfies the criteria that the rape/death camps are “buildings or other enclosures where ... girls and women are kept and systematically raped for weeks or months at a time.
