(Jerusalem Post) Ohad Merlin - A conference commending Hamas's Oct. 7 massacre, named "the Al-Aqsa Flood," convened in Istanbul this week. The event was organized by the Center for Islam and Global Affairs (CIGA), headed by Sami Al-Arian, who was deported from the U.S. for providing services to Palestinian Islamic Jihad. The opening speaker was Hamas official Osama Hamdan, who lauded the massacre and predicted a future in which Israel does not appear on the map. Another main speaker was former Prime Minister of Malaysia Mahathir Mohamad, who stressed that Israelis and Zionists control the world. Other speakers included Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief of staff of the U.S. State Department under Colin Powell, who argued that the war was initiated by Israel and prophesied that Israel as a Jewish state will soon cease to exist. Former U.S. Marines intelligence officer Scott Ritter claimed that the entire world owes Hamas gratitude for the attack.
