Indigenous Friends of Israel founders Norman and Barbara Miller refuted the claims of Brother Ismael recently at the Al Madina Dawah Centre, southwest Sydney that Hamas is not a terrorist organisation. He also called for Jihad.

It is impossible to understand Hamas without engaging with the concepts of “Palestine” and “Palestinians”. The meaning of “Palestine” is complicated. It has changed over the years, and it is disputed and controversial.
