Hamas Defends Muslim Brotherhood, Kills Egyptian Protesters

Print Friendly

Hamas militants hold a poster of Morsi, as they celebrate in Gaza City soon after he won Egypt’s 2012 presidential elections.

A new Arabic report states that at least four Palestinian members of Hamas were involved in and arrested for the recent shooting and killing of eight Egyptians during anti-Morsi protests. The clashes took place around Muslim Brotherhood headquarters in Muqattam.

A video appearing yesterday shows people inside the building — now not just Brotherhood members but apparently Hamas as well — opening gunfire on protesters.

None of this should be surprising: Hamas is the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood — not to mention a recent court ruling confirmed that President Morsi’s 2011 jailbreak was facilitated by Hamas members.

In short, Hamas has a long history of coming to Morsi’s rescue — yet another indicator of the Egyptian president’s terrorist connections.

    Muslim Brotherhood = Hamas; Hamas = Muslim Brotherhood. Same organization, different name.
