The coordinator of the Left Bloc, Mariana Mortágua, condemned this Wednesday, October 15, the reports of violence perpetrated by Hamas in the Gaza Strip and argued that Palestine can only be a free state without the Islamist movement.
“This is a decision that belongs to the Palestinians and not to me, if the choice were mine, no, but countries are what they allow them to be and I think that ideally I can only condemn executions in the public square like the ones we have heard about, that is very clear”stated Mariana Mortágua when asked whether the Islamist group could be part of the future of Palestine.
“There is no justice in one’s own hands, whether by Hamas or by Israel”continued on the sidelines of a conversation taking place in Lisbon, with Portuguese activists Miguel Duarte and Sofia Aparício who were on the Global Sumud Flotilla.
The Spanish news agency EFE reported that videos are circulating on social media showing Hamas members executing handcuffed people in the streets, claiming that they were collaborating with Israel.
