"The current stage does not allow the entrance of everyone into a military conflict, however everyone must be ready for the day in which it might take place, as the Zionist enemy is planning to attack our people and to control our land once again"
About this Quote
The engine here is inevitability. By insisting the "Zionist enemy" is already planning an attack, the quote collapses the moral timeline. If violence is framed as preemptive self-defense against a looming assault, then preparation is not just rational; it is mandatory. The phrase "once again" does heavy historical work, summoning an earlier loss of land and sovereignty and recasting the present as a recurring cycle of dispossession. That repetition turns political conflict into fate, and fate into mobilization.
Context matters: Yassin, as Hamas's founder and a cleric-activist, spoke from within a landscape of occupation, intifada politics, and a movement trying to balance armed resistance with mass social legitimacy. The rhetoric is designed for two audiences at once: internally, it disciplines and recruits; externally, it signals resolve and deterrence. Calling the other side an "enemy" and naming "control our land" narrows the space for compromise. The intent is less to describe reality than to manufacture a shared posture: waiting, watching, preparing - together.
