Multiple Reports: Hamas Warned Israel Prior to Oct. 7 Attack

The scholar Ilan Pappé noted in a recent talk, given after the Oct. 7 attack, that of central importance for all the Palestinians “has been the political prisoners” — with Israel holding many Palestinians without charge while, Pappé notes, the PA was “doing nothing”. He notes, Hamas “warned Israel…we will not sit idle as long as the political prisoners are not going to be released…we will do all we can to abduct Israeli soldiers and citizens so we have something to deal with in order to deal with the most important thing for our society, which are the political prisoners.” Many thanks to Decensored News for video.

The public’s right to know is important, but not when national security is at stake. In such times, the public can suffice with a recorded and supervised message.
