This conversation offers a rare, unfiltered look at how Hamas supporters inside Gaza justify violence, reject peaceful solutions, and deny the basic facts of the conflict. Rather than acknowledge Hamas’ role in triggering wars, using civilians as shields, or holding innocent hostages, Motasem Dalloul doubles down on the same narratives that have kept Gaza trapped for decades. The interview lays bare the central obstacle to peace: a worldview that frames terror as “resistance,” dismisses Israeli attempts at coexistence, and insists that liberation can only come through violence. For anyone trying to understand why the conflict persists, this is a revealing—and deeply troubling—glimpse into the ideological machinery that sustains Hamas’ grip on Gaza.
