Palestinian terror group Hamas condemns the attack Wednesday by jihadist brothers at the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris, killing 12 people.
There is no word from the terror group on the kosher market attack in Paris yesterday in which four hostages were killed by a third jihadist claiming to be from the Islamic State.
In a statement sent out the press, Hamas says it “condemns the aggression against the magazine Charlie Hebdo and insists that differences of opinions of views do not justify murder.”
The group also rejects Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s comments, in which he compared the Paris attack to Hamas firing rockets from the Gaza Strip at civilians in Israel.
“Hamas condemns the desperate attempts by… Netanyahu to make a connection between our movement and the resistance of our people on the one hand and global terrorism on the other,” the statement reads.
