Israel will kill all Palestinians to destroy Hamas - Tun M

SHAH ALAM - Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad says that the Israeli forces will kill all Palestinians to achieve its objective which is to destroy Hamas completely.

In a Facebook post today, the former prime minister said Israel will not stop its war against Gaza until they defeated Hamas.

"Since the bombs and rockets cannot identify Hamas, all Palestinians must be killed because among them there would be Hamas.

"When Palestinians in Gaza are killed, then Hamas personnel hiding among them will (also) be killed.

"The Palestinian babies and children who would also be killed are just collaterals.

"Besides, they are likely to become members of Hamas when they grow up. So killing them is a part of the war for the security of Israel," he wrote.

Dr Mahathir added that due to the United States (US) National Security Council's refusal to approve the resolution that calls for a ceasefire, 200 Palestinians were killed in the war in Gaza.

"Had the US agreed to the ceasefire, the 200 Palestinians would be still alive. The US is therefore guilty of killing the 200 Palestinians," he said.

He added that Israel will only stop the war, when Hamas no longer existed.

"Since this can only happen when all the people in Gaza are killed, are no more, genocide has to be carried out.

"Only when there are no Palestinians in the world will Israel be secure.

"So, America must uphold the right of Israel to continue the war and to kill all Palestinians," he said.
