Chapter 16:

Speaking on November 16, 2018, at a memorial for Nur Baraka, a militant who had died in a confrontation with Israeli forces just few days earlier, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar invoked several religious symbols: Jerusalem, jihad (holy war), martyrdom, and the Islamic heroic heritage. He did so with the aim of preserving Hamas’s national, patriotic image, which had reportedly been damaged by its indirect contacts with Israel. Such contacts were perceived as compromising the martyrs’ blood for dollars and fuel and turning the Palestinian issue from a national to a humanitarian issue.
