You have refused to take my initial post into consideration. Take what they say in the bigger picture, rather than trying to find keywords. It is like when the west attacks the east for their notion of "martyrdom". Giving one's life for a cause has always been something noble in every society, and people or soldiers who do this are considered heroes in the west, but suddenly in the middle eastern culture, the west shows it to be an immoral act, as if the people involved in it are lovers of death and are doing it because of their love for the 72 virgins after death.
This is the same thing. Hamas is not rounding up children, and firing at IDF from behind them. It is guerrilla warfare, waged by a very weak defense force. They can't send an air force to fire on Tel Aviv, nor can they attack with tanks, or can they attack via navy ships, so the only thing they can do is fight in the streets of Gaza.
The video above is obviously a speaker saying to his supporters, that, we all will stand strong against the attackers, and we all will not be afraid. It is something I can imagine being spoken in any country that is under attack
That's because they've been preoccupied with Israel. If Israel is out of the picture, they'll turn onto other countries.
And why would you say that? What are you basing this on?
