Condemnation as Twitter closes anti-occupation account

Twitter has closed the account of the anti-occupation group, Qassam Brigades that was operating in English and Arabic.

The Hamas’s armed wing slammed the move in a statement issued Thursday, calling it a clear bias to Israel, according to PIC.

"At a time when Twitter opens its platform to Israeli occupation figures and institutions teaming with racism, extremism and terrorism, the company closes, for the third consecutive time in two weeks, the official accounts of the Qassam Brigades in English and Arabic in flagrant violation of our right according to the commitment it made in front of the world, and in a clear bias to Israel. It should demonstrate neutral position toward both sides," the statement said.

“Military Information Department of al-Qassam Brigades condemn this action by Twitter, and call on the company to comply with its declared principles, especially (To give everyone the power to create and share ideas and information instantly, without barriers).”

"We also call on the company to reconsider the decision and reopen the closed accounts", according to the statement.

Al-Qassam Brigades affirmed that it has a clear message of freedom and anti Israeli racism, and it will continue struggle to deliver its message to the world, which now distinguishes between the victim and the executioner.
