Palestinian National Initiative's
@MustafaBarghou1
"Hamas mainly attacked military establishments, military installations. And most of the people they have arrested & taken as war prisoners are military people. I do not accept [they are] attacking any civilian."

...but this is one of the most outrageous lies told since Baghdad Bob's time.
