Zahar: Gazans can do 'no less' than rise up like Warsaw Ghetto Jews
By Haaretz Service
Tags: Mahmoud Zahar, Israel, Gaza 

Senior Hamas official Mahmoud Zahar writing in an opinion piece published Thursday in the Washington Post stated that Gazans can do 'no less' than rise up against Israel like Jews in the Warsaw ghetto did against the Nazis.

"Sixty-five years ago, the courageous Jews of the Warsaw ghetto rose in defense of their people. We Gazans, living in the world's largest open-air prison, can do no less," Zahar wrote in the newspaper.

The Gaza-based Hamas leader later decried Judaism as having "corrupted itself in the detour into Zionism, nationalism and apartheid."

In the Washington Post opinion piece, Zahar also denounced Israel as waging a "total war" against the Palestinian people, which he cited as an explanation for last week's attack by Gaza militants on the Nahal Oz fuel depot, declaring that resistance was the only option left to the Palestinians.

Zahar further stated that United States policy in the Middle East had reached a dead end, while praising former U.S. president Jimmy Carter's "sensible plan to visit the Hamas leadership" as bringing honesty and pragmatism.
