Palestinian Islamist militant group Hamas has mourned the passing of Pope Francis, voicing thanks for his condemnation of the suffering in the Gaza Strip, which has been devastated by the war since Hamas attacked Israel in October 2023.
“On numerous occasions, he expressed his opposition to aggression and wars around the world, and he was among the prominent religious voices that condemned the war crimes and acts of genocide being committed against our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip,” Hamas said in a statement.
Hamas got a lot of power because Palestinians wanted to be protected from Israel.
I’m not saying terrorist attacks are good, but almost every terrorist attack in history has been a reaction to oppression.
