A former Hamas leader is calling for pro-Palestinian protests on Friday, prompting Rep. Matt Gaetz and others to point out that Americans are "armed" and ready.
Khaled Mashal, who now heads the militant group’s diaspora office in Qatar, told Reuters on Wednesday that Muslims should “head to the squares and streets of the Arab and Islamic world on Friday” and hold mass protests in support of Palestinians as the conflict with Israel intensifies.
In a video posted on YouTube, but since removed, he also called for Muslims “to show anger” on Friday and “send a message of rage to Zionists and to America,” according to a transcript posted on X, formerly Twitter.
LOL so he is just calling for protests
Jihad in Islam means both military intervention and normal efforts unarmed civilians can take in their own countries (such as protesting, giving medical care to the affected, even posting online, etc).
Sometimes I truly wonder if people read stuff before they post it and if they inspect it with a critical eye at all.
Seriously stop posting overtly propaganda pieces…
I mean if a US official was calling for a crusade we’d be looking sideways as well.
Calling for Jihad in this situation is definitely yelling fire in a theater. You could call it out as yelling fire can mean you’re just having a BBQ, but the world is burning.

Context matters.

The goal definitely was to spread terror.
God forbid people learn one trivia fact about the Arabic language and Islamic lore
you mean genocide of entire subcontinent?
Yeah not sure what the colonization of the new world has to do with this.
Where exactly are you going with this?
