He boldly asserts that \u2062the Hamas terrorists who kidnapped Thai nationals during\u2063 their attack on Israel were actually doing so \u2063&#8221;for\u2064 their own protection.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This outrageous statement comes after the\u200c brutal murder of 39 Thai nationals by Hamas terrorists, who also took an unknown number of hostages. Qasem \u2063goes on\u200b to falsely claim that these innocent victims were merely &#8220;detainees&#8221; and that Israel was unjustly &#8220;shelling&#8221; houses \u2062in the \u200bkibbutzes.<\/p>\n<p>Qasem&#8217;s audacious remarks continue, stating that\u2062 &#8220;[Turkey and Hamas] discussed \u2064the\u2062 release of some of the [Thai] detainees.&#8221; He further justifies the kidnappings by asserting that these Thai nationals were \u200cdetained to shield them\u200d from the alleged \u200dIsraeli aggression. According to him, the\u2063 Zionist army was indiscriminately shelling \u2064houses with\u2064 people inside, including \u2063members of the Al-Qassam Brigades, foreign\u200c laborers, and even the \u200dZionist inhabitants of\u2064 those settlements.<\/p>\n<p>The\u2064 Associated Press <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/gaza-hostages-thai-workers-qatar-iran-1e712be6ab4446574128f36a5c6130e8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> last week that Hamas released 10 Thai nationals as part of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/u-s-welcomes-talibans-announcement-of-3-day-ceasefire\/\" title=\"U.S. welcomes Taliban\u2019s announcement of 3-day ceasefire\">temporary ceasefire agreement<\/a>\u200c with Israel.

The kidnapping of innocent Thai nationals has nothing to do with protecting them but is instead a calculated act of terror designed to provoke fear and advance\u200c Hamas&#8217; extremist \u2064agenda.<\/p>\n<p>Hamas, recognized internationally as a terrorist organization,\u2062 has \u2064a long\u200c history of resorting to violence \u2064and undermining peace efforts in the region.

Instead of resorting to violence, Hamas \u2062should work towards peaceful negotiations and accept \u2063the legitimacy of Israel&#8217;s\u2063 right to \u200cexist. The international community must condemn these\u2062 acts\u200c of terrorism and support efforts to combat extremism in\u200d all its\u2063 forms.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, \u200cit is essential to recognize the efforts \u200dmade\u2062 by the Israeli government and security forces in attempting to rescue the hostages\u200d and bring those responsible\u200d to \u200cjustice. The Israeli authorities have been\u2063 working tirelessly, coordinating\u200b with international partners, to \u200densure the \u200csafe return of any remaining hostages and \u2062to provide support to the victims&#8217; families during this challenging time.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/reality-tv-can-serve-a-purpose-but-last-week-it-failed\/\" title=\"Reality TV Can Serve A Purpose, But Last Week, It Failed\">claims made<\/a> by Hamas official Hisham Qasem are not only baseless but also serve to further erode any credibility the\u2062 terrorist group may have\u2063 had. It is clear that Hamas&#8217; actions are driven by a radical and \u2063dangerous ideology that seeks to undermine peace \u2062and stability in\u2063 the region.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, \u200dthe assertion that Hamas kidnapped Thai\u200c nationals for their \u200bown \u200dprotection is an absurd and offensive \u200bpropaganda tactic. These\u200c innocent \u2064individuals lost their lives at the hands of terrorists who are motivated by hatred and an extremist ideology.
