Speaking on Channel 1 TV on Thursday 26 Tammuz, Dr. Mordechai Kedar explains that there are too many “experts” who are not embarrassed to speak, lecture and write about Hamas and the ongoing warfare without understanding Hamas on the most elementary level. “If one wishes to understand the British or the American one must know English and one cannot be an expert on Hamas without the capability of understanding its leaders in their native Arabic”.

Kedar explains that in his Wednesday night address, Hamas leader Khalid Meshal devoted 80% to addressing the need to break Israel’s marine blockade on Gaza. Kedar explains this is because “brilliant Iranian engineers” have developed a rocket that can circumvent the Iron Dome system. Kedar explained the Iranians have watched and studied the Iron Dome’s operation and they have succeeded in developing a rocket that can bypass the defense system.

Dr. Kedar explains that Meshal realizes that if ships can come into the Port of Gaza, Hamas can begin importing rockets and prepare them for the next round of warfare. He explained the rockets seem to travel lower and in a different trajectory than rockets used today, making them undetectable to the Iron Dome.

Dr. Kedar stated it is time for all of the so-called experts to remain silent for the information that base their theories and hashkafa on do not represent Hamas’ true position.
