Fatah Spokesman: Gaza Was ‘Paradise’ Before Oct. 7, and Massacre Wasn’t a Problem — Only Its Scale

Summary:
Fatah spokesman Mundhir Al-Hayek stated in a radio interview that the Gaza Strip was "a paradise" with a very good situation before October 7, contradicting claims of unlivable conditions or siege. He said Hamas exploited Gaza’s economy and led to the uncalculated October 7 attack, which he considers politically mishandled rather than morally wrong. Al-Hayek implied that the terror attack itself was not condemned, only its scale, suggesting that a smaller attack would have sufficed to convey a message. This reflects the Palestinian Authority and Fatah’s ideological stance that terror is acceptable and judged only by its political usefulness, not by moral considerations.

Scripture: Isaiah 5:20-21 (NASB 1977)
"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes,
And clever in their own sight!"
Commentary:
When leaders talk as if terror is acceptable so long as it “works,” Isaiah’s warning lands with force. Words matter. People in Gaza and Israel hear these justifications and know fire can follow. This is happening on and beside land God gave to Israel, giving these events a prophetic weight Scripture treats as unique. The moral flipping of evil into “message” is a familiar end‑time pattern of hardened hearts and lawlessness. Stay clear-eyed, refuse propaganda, and stand with God’s covenant purposes.
Prophetic Trend:
As moral lines are blurred to justify violence in God’s land, rhetoric hardens hearts and feeds the instability Scripture associates with latter-day lawlessness.

Rockets are launched by Palestinian into Israel, amid Israeli-Palestinian fighting in Gaza, August 7, 2022. Photo: Reuters/Mohammed Salem While the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Hamas may argue among themselves over tactics, timing, and optics, they are united on the core issue — the legitimacy of terror. In a single radio interview, the Fatah spokesman in the Gaza Strip — representing the ruling party of the PA, which is now positioning itself as a future governing authority in Gaza — revealed three truths that Palestinian leaders usually avoid stating so openly: that Gaza was not an unlivable hell before October 7, that the mass murder of Israelis is not rejected in principle, and that the internal Palestinian debate is about how much terror is useful, not whether terror is acceptable at all. Fatah Spokesman in the Gaza Strip Mundhir Al-Hayek: ” … The Gaza Strip before Oct. 7 was a paradise. The situation was very good. But Hamas exploited this and took over all the economic areas and collected taxes, and unfortunately, the result was moving towards the uncalculated October 7. We needed 10% of Oct. 7 to convey a message to the world that the Palestinian people is persecuted and ...
