Unbelievable 🤣. As stated previously it was also reported in The Guardian and on BBC.
Of course they did, as did many other outlets. They though were more objective in their reporting. Both included his statement in full:-
“The Al-Shamie family in the UK and abroad strongly condemns this heinous act, which targeted peaceful, innocent civilians.
We fully distance ourselves from this attack and express our deep shock and sorrow over what has happened. Our hearts and thoughts are with the victims and their families, and we pray for their strength and comfort.
We kindly request that all media outlets respect the family's privacy during this very difficult time and refrain from using this tragic event in any context that does not reflect the truth.
May God have mercy on the innocent victims, and we pray for the swift recovery of the injured."
The BBC went on to report the earlier posts which have been asserted to mean he supports Hamas in this way:-
“A post on Faraj Al-Shamie's Facebook page, which had been verified by the BBC but has since been removed, appeared to praise the 7 October attack by Hamas.
The post read: "The scenes broadcast by the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades showing a group of fighters storming an occupation army camp with simple means, balloons and motorcycles, prove beyond any doubt that Israel is not here to stay.
"Men like these prove that they are Allah's men on earth, regardless of who leads them, they are the true compass for men confident in their victory, even if their resources are few."
Make of that what you will but it suggests to me he wasn’t fully aware of what actually happened (maybe why it was later removed) but confirm he doesn’t believe that Israel has a long term future. In that he isn’t alone.
