Your government claimed yesterday that it stopped the battle, but without our consent and meeting our conditions - and it thought we were rash enough to [agree to a] cease-fire. On the contrary, we hurried to strike anywhere in Israel - from Dimona to Haifa - and we made you hide in shelters like mice. . .See how moderate they are? They recognize Israel!
Again, we warn you - if your government does not agree to all of our conditions, then all of Israel will legally remain open to our weapons fire.
Izz - Eddine al-Qassam Brigades
I searched high and low for the international legal principle of "do what we demand or else we kill you." After much effort, I think I found the source:
Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.Quran 9:29.
Since so many Muslim countries refer to the Sharia as the basis of their judicial systems in their constitutions, that makes it by definition "international" law!
But there is still a problem. That Quranic verse doesn't support killing Israeli Arabs, only Jews. So how can they shoot rockets into Israel that might hurt Arabs?
The answer, of course, is magic rockets that only target "the Hebrews."
Following are excerpts from an interview with Hamas Spokesman Fawzi Barhoum, which aired on Al-Aqsa TV on July 11, 2014:Yes, Hamas is bragging about performing war crimes. NGOs' are responding like they always do.
We say to [Israeli Arabs], living in Haifa, Jaffa, Acre, Lod, Ramla, and the Negev: The rockets fired by the Al-Qassam Brigades will not hit you. We know those parts. We are familiar with the geography and with the history. Not a single Arab Palestinian child will be hit by one of our missiles. Our rockets are aimed at the Hebrews, the murderers, the Israelis, the criminals. Don't be afraid. Go on with your everyday life, and celebrate our victory, just like we will celebrate it here, in Gaza....We say to our people in Haifa: The missiles of Al-Qassam will not hit any Arab home. Rest assured, our missiles accurately target the homes of the Israelis and the Zionists. As Arabs, Muslms and Christians, you must support Gaza in the streets, by demonstrations, with slogans. You must besiege consulates of European countries supporting the occupation.
