Leading Islamic authority in Gaza slams Hamas for using civilians as shields

A former dean of Sharia and Law at the Islamic University of Gaza publishes a post online criticizing Hamas for sacrificing Gazan lives to fight Israel.

“You have no right to use the people of Gaza as a shield for your own interests — especially after God has shown you that the resistance is incapable of achieving the goals it declared,” writes Salman Al-Daya, an important religious authority in Gaza. “The convoys of martyrs, the wounded, the displaced, the hungry, and the sick who are facing death… What miracle are you waiting for?!”

Al-Daya has previously condemned Hamas during the war. In November 2024, he issued an Islamic legal opinion, or fatwa, denouncing the October 7 massacre, saying it violated Islamic principles.

now if we could only add another couple hundred thousand ...

In the face of immense suffering of the people - a crushing and humiliating military defeat - and the complete unraveling of any social or institutional authority .... Hamas still persists (after being crushed both militarily and ideological) in seeing themselves as the leaders and the 'future' of the Palestinian people. The very height of delusion - and an ongoing tragedy for the people they (ostensibly) represent. The sooner gone ....

the backhanded compliment to the "courage that has no equal, except"... causing "starvation, killing, disparage, destruction, and abandonment" looks too sarcastic to be an unintended slip of tongue.
