In a series of posts on Telegram,\u200c King voiced his support \u2064for Hamas&#8217;s violent resistance against what he referred to as &#8220;Zionist war criminals.&#8221; He asserted that Haniyeh&#8217;s death would not \u200bweaken Hamas but instead \u200dstrengthen it. King also alleged that the U.S. was involved\u2063 in Haniyeh&#8217;s assassination, despite a military official indicating otherwise, stating that the U.S. had no role in the \u200daction. King invoked the beliefs of Nelson Mandela, arguing that Palestinians have the right to armed resistance against Israeli\u2062 actions he equates to apartheid. The article highlights the ongoing cycle of \u2062violence and the\u200c contentious views surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">BLM activist &lsquo;furious&rsquo; after &lsquo;dear brother&rsquo; Hamas leader killed<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1714756\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Left-wing <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/activism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>activist<\/a> Shaun King is &ldquo;furious&rdquo; after his &ldquo;dear brother&rdquo; Ismail Haniyeh, the political head of <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/hamas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Hamas<\/a>, was killed on Tuesday night after 12 children were killed by Hezbollah while playing soccer on Saturday in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights.<\/p>\n<p>King voiced his outrage in a series of posts on <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/s\/ShaunKingChannel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Telegram<\/a> on Wednesday and further proclaimed his support for Hamas&rsquo;s violent &ldquo;resistance to the Zionist war criminals&rdquo; in response to the assassination of Haniyeh.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;These genocidal monsters think that this weakens Hamas, or weakens the resistance, but it does neither,&rdquo; King said. &ldquo;It will only strengthen both.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>He also accused the United States of being involved in the assassination.

This incident came after 12 children were reportedly killed by Hezbollah while playing soccer in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights on Saturday. In a series of posts on Telegram, King declared his support for Hamas&#8217;s violent &#8220;resistance to the Zionist war criminals,&#8221; asserting that Haniyeh&#8217;s assassination would not weaken Hamas or its resistance efforts but rather strengthen them. He also accused the United States of being complicit in Haniyeh&#8217;s death, although a military official stated that there was no U.S. involvement. When asked about Israel\u2019s potential role in the strike against Haniyeh, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin did not confirm it and noted that the U.S. had not been informed beforehand.<\/p>\n<p>King referenced Nelson Mandela\u2019s views to argue that Palestinians have a right to armed resistance against what he describes as Israeli &#8220;apartheid.&#8221; He suggested that when nonviolent means fail, violence is justified for liberation\u2014&#8221;as all free people do.&#8221; The term &#8220;armed resistance,&#8221; or &#8220;intifada,&#8221; associated with Hamas has involved numerous attacks on civilians over decades, including a particularly deadly assault on October 7, 2023, where over 1,200 Jewish and Israeli individuals were killed or taken hostage.<\/p>\n<p>Hamas was established during the first intifada in 1987 and its charter calls for Israel&#8217;s destruction and genocide against Jews. King gained prominence as an activist within Black Lives Matter; despite being listed as white on his birth certificate due to his mother&#8217;s background and her partner at that time being white, he claims his biological father is a light-skinned black man. Additionally, King shared responses from Hamas regarding Haniyeh\u2019s assassination along with statements from other anti-Israel groups on his Telegram channel.
