Controversy has erupted over the classification of Hamas by various international and national entities. Martin Griffiths, the UN's Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, stated, "Hamas is a political movement for us," and clarified that Hamas is not considered a terrorist group by the United Nations Security Council. This statement sparked widespread criticism, especially in light of the acts of terror on October 7, where Hamas terrorists were accused of brutal sexual violence as a weapon of war and the murder of 1,200 people. White House National Security Council spokesman, John Kirby, strongly countered Griffiths' remarks, labeling Hamas unequivocally as a terrorist organization, citing their manifesto and actions on October 7 as clear evidence. Griffiths also expressed fears of a "slaughter of people in Gaza" amid Israel's planned ground offensive in Rafah, where more than one million Palestinians are seeking refuge, describing it as the "worst humanitarian crisis he has ever seen in his entire career." The European Union expressed concern over the potential for a ground operation in Rafah, Gaza, where over a million Palestinians are sheltering, highlighting the dire humanitarian situation. Amidst this, Israel is preparing for a possible ground assault in Rafah, raising alarms over the potential increase in civilian casualties.
Even if NO Hostages were taken, ISRAEL like any country would have the right to eliminate HAMAS for the Murder,Arson,Rapes amongst other Crimes committed on 10/7. That alone was enough for a brutal response from ISRAEL. Day 134 @BringThemHome23 https://t.co/f7alPokjRy
On October 7, Hamas militants attacked the kibbutz of Kfar Aza and slaughtered over 60 innocent Israelis, including children. Being there and meeting with survivors of those truly wicked acts was a devastating reminder that true evil exists in the world. We should stand… https://t.co/Chx70bzEbz
UN Relief chief makes startling claim about what his organization really thinks about Hamas https://t.co/4cdjKPrAP9
The mass slaughter of Gaza - armed and backed by Western governments, justified by Western media outlets - could prove the biggest mass radicalisation event in history. https://t.co/bPEMj2ZLrZ
Responsibility for the bloodbath in Rafah, Gaza, won’t belong to just Israel — this is the West’s genocide too. https://t.co/MAy7UZEfsK
'UN'BELIEVEABLE! Kirby Blasts Hamas After UN Under-Secretary Calls Them a 'Political Movement' KIRBY: “Hamas is a terrorist organization. And you don’t have to look any further than what they did on the 7th of October to see it in stark terms." https://t.co/iT5bI6GOoW
Israel is preparing to launch a ground assault against the Palestinian town of Rafah, where one million refugees are sheltered. It will likely mean a surge in civilians deaths — for which the US and other Western governments also will be culpable. https://t.co/MAy7UZEfsK
On October 7th, Iran-backed Hamas massacred more than 1,200 Israelis and took hundreds of people hostage. It's critical that Israel has the resources needed to defeat Hamas and free the hostages, and that we provide humanitarian aid to innocent Palestinians in Gaza.
Today marks 133 days since the Oct. 7th massacre, and Iran-backed Hamas terrorists are still holding hostages, killing courageous IDF members and targeting innocent Israelis. Hamas must pay for this evil. We can’t stop fighting to destroy Hamas and #BringThemAllHome.
The West is never going to recover from its complicity in Israel's genocidal war against Gaza. The crime is too great, the complicity too grotesque, the consequences too profound. This will be properly understood only when it's far, far too late. https://t.co/v4TzyngvXK

On October 7, the world watched Hamas terrorists invade Israel and brutally kidnap, torture, rape, burn alive, and murder innocent people, including Americans. There should be no equivocation about Hamas. They're terrorists, even if the @UN won’t accept it. https://t.co/HqfBQeMywA
Heartbreaking from Owen Jones, but important to witness the utter moral turpitude of Western powers in complicity with Israel's rampaging war crimes: will this be the end of the West's hegemony?https://t.co/L5WrALfaj0
I increasingly believe the massacre of Gaza may prove fatal for Western power. Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya hugely damaged the West. But the scale of this crime is something else. New video 👇 https://t.co/08N6zM2R4r https://t.co/mgmh79bT8t

The @UN does not recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization. Still. In fact, they never have. Enough said. Fuck the United Nations.
John Kirby: “Hamas is a terrorist organization...There’s no doubt that they just want to wipe out Israel off the face of the map. This is a terrorist organization. Pure and simple. Period.” https://t.co/rmovaZxYul
On October 7th, Hamas terrorists used brutal sexual violence as a weapon of war. This weaponized sexual violence should shock the conscience of the entire world. I spoke out yesterday and will continue to use my voice to stand up for the survivors of these attacks. https://t.co/K5i1K7askM

Just to clarify: Hamas is not on the list of groups designated as terrorist organizations by the United Nations Security Council. This doesn't make their acts of terror on 7 October any less horrific and reprehensible, as I've been saying all along.
