[0:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EbG9k2JsjmHH/en/is-hamas-motivated-by-politics-or-religion?t=3) I understand the bigger point you made. I, but like I said, y- you definitely say- Yeah. It's the only point I'm making ... you definitely, you definitely said in passing that they seem more like a political organization.

[0:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EbG9k2JsjmHH/en/is-hamas-motivated-by-politics-or-religion?t=12) So do you wanna clarify what you meant by that bit? You sure?

[0:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EbG9k2JsjmHH/en/is-hamas-motivated-by-politics-or-religion?t=15) Hamas was funded by Israel to some extent.

[0:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EbG9k2JsjmHH/en/is-hamas-motivated-by-politics-or-religion?t=18) It's not a controversial statement. It's not a conspiracy theory.

[0:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EbG9k2JsjmHH/en/is-hamas-motivated-by-politics-or-religion?t=22) It's an established fact by the current prime minister, took money, gave it to Hamas.

[0:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EbG9k2JsjmHH/en/is-hamas-motivated-by-politics-or-religion?t=27) Sh- I, I meant what I said, which is they are either...

[0:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EbG9k2JsjmHH/en/is-hamas-motivated-by-politics-or-religion?t=32) I'm not questioning whether they've committed violence. They have.

[0:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EbG9k2JsjmHH/en/is-hamas-motivated-by-politics-or-religion?t=35) I'm opposed to that. I'm opposed to all violence, period.

[0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EbG9k2JsjmHH/en/is-hamas-motivated-by-politics-or-religion?t=38) And I'm opposed to Hamas violence. I'm opposed to killing people.

[0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EbG9k2JsjmHH/en/is-hamas-motivated-by-politics-or-religion?t=42) The question is, if you are telling me that they are inspired to kill because of their religious ideology, that is a different thing from people who are inspired to kill by their political ideology.

[0:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EbG9k2JsjmHH/en/is-hamas-motivated-by-politics-or-religion?t=55) Because if it's political, you can imagine an alliance with Christians.

[0:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EbG9k2JsjmHH/en/is-hamas-motivated-by-politics-or-religion?t=59) If it is a religious motivation, it is impossible to imagine, as I said in that clip, Christian accomplices.

[1:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EbG9k2JsjmHH/en/is-hamas-motivated-by-politics-or-religion?t=67) There weren't a lot of Christians supporting Al-Qaeda because Al-Qaeda was explicitly anti-Christian.

[1:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EbG9k2JsjmHH/en/is-hamas-motivated-by-politics-or-religion?t=72) So was ISIS. Fatah, which was again a radical or violence-prone Palestinian political organization, had Christian support.

[1:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/EbG9k2JsjmHH/en/is-hamas-motivated-by-politics-or-religion?t=83) So which is it? That's my point. Mm. I was calling into question their lack of a coherent explanation for why Christians are being killed in a conflict that, from my perspective, doesn't seem to have anything to do with them. But do, do you view- So why are you desecrating churches?
