Now that Israel has militarily reduced Hamas, the jihad group has reverted to making a show of being peaceful, in line with the practice of its stealth operatives who are living inside Western borders. Hamas is now reaching out to the international community as it brazenly presents its “resistance” as justified, in full taqiyya style. “From Jihad to Justice: Hamas’s Outreach to the International Arena,” Institute for National Security Studies, February 2, 2026:
Rebranding as “freedom fighters,” shifting responsibility and blame, and appropriating the language of international law: examining Hamas’s appeal to the Western world through war-summary document.
This article examines the document that Hamas published in December 2025 summarizing the war and, in particular, the intensifying battle of narratives between Hamas and Israel. Hamas addresses three target audiences: the Palestinian and Arab public, Israel, and the international community. The article focuses especially on Hamas’s appeal to Western audiences, primarily in English, and its use of Western concepts, such as referring to Hamas terrorists as “freedom fighters.” Hamas also employs gaslighting tactics and makes sophisticated use of journalists and social media influencers to shift blame from the organization to Israel and to fuel human rights–based discourse against it. The objective of these efforts is to frame the Israeli–Palestinian conflict as a moral issue that requires taking a stand in support of the Palestinians. According to public opinion surveys, protests, and solidarity events held during the war, this objective has been achieved to some extent.
Since its founding in 1987, Hamas has crafted its messaging for three principal audiences: the Palestinian and broader Arab public, Israel and its citizens, and the international arena. For Palestinians, Hamas aims to project resilience and ideological steadfastness to build internal legitimacy and mobilize support for violence against Israel. For Arab audiences, it seeks political and ideological backing. Toward Israelis, it aims for deterrence while sowing fear, confusion, and demoralization…
The Western world is being used, manipulated and exploited by Hamas stealth jihadist operatives — offshoots of the Muslim Brotherhood who will readily escalate to the use of violence on a dime. Hamas revealed its true face on October 7, 2023. And it continued to use its own citizens as human shields, with the intention of racking up Palestinian casualties and “martyrs” in order to gain propaganda talking points it could use to pressure the world into treating Israel as an international pariah.
Palestinians have historically sought to wipe Israel off the map, as is emphasized in the Palestinian National Charter, so it is not surprising that Gazans elected Hamas (the Islamic Resistance Movement) to do the job, even as they continue to present this jihad to the world as a justified resistance.
This document “Jihad is the Way” explains exactly what the Muslim Brotherhood’s goals are. In short: pursuing conquest and bloody jihad as a Muslim duty.

Jihadists and idiotic Leftists already buy that charade of not just Hamas, but other “Palestinians” being “freedom-fighters”, whether it’s Fatah, PLFP or islamic jihad. Wonder which new audience Hamas hopes to win over?

The anti-ICE demonstrators who for a price will demonstrate against sliced bread.

This is more Muslim deceit. Muslims under Islam’s system of deceit are more easily controlled because there is no foundation for truth in Islam. Allah in Qur’an 3:54 says, “And they deceived, and Allah deceived. And Allah is the best deceiver.” Allah in Qur’an 8:30 says, “…And Allah is the best deceiver.” Allah in Qur’an 13:42 says, “And indeed, those before them deceived, so to Allah all the deception…”

A little OT….it’s in Texas, it’s scuzzy, it’s **illegal** and not cair this time
“Muslim org passed out ‘Shariah’ flyers in public Texas high school, district confirms”
“Members of the Islamic organization Why Islam distributed religious content at a public high school in Wylie, Texas on Monday, a district official confirmed to the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Members of the organization distributed brochures titled “Understanding Shariah,” Qurans and hijabs, according to a viral video posted to X featuring the president of the school’s High School Republicans. A district official confirmed the individuals passed out candy as well.
“Outside organizations are not permitted to distribute materials to students without prior approval from campus and district administration,” the district official wrote. “Guests may speak only with official student clubs with prior approval and may address only students who have signed parent permission forms on file. In this case, the organization did not have permission to distribute materials, did not receive approval to speak with students outside of the club, and the club did not submit the required guest speaker request form.”
““These protocols exist to protect the learning environment and to give families confidence in what their children are exposed to during the school day,” the official wrote. “This situation is not about religion, politics, ideology, or any personal belief system. It is about a procedural breakdown. If proper protocols had been followed, this incident would not have occurred. We take that very seriously.”
““Mistakes were made, and we take full responsibility,” the official continued. “We are actively addressing the lapses and reviewing our internal procedures and staff oversight related to student clubs and guest approvals to ensure incidents like this do not happen again.””

Hamas being rebranded as “freedom fighters”?
True, if it means that they “fight freedom”.
