Palestinian Islamist militant group Hamas has mourned the passing of Pope Francis, voicing thanks for his condemnation of the suffering in the Gaza Strip, which has been devastated by the war since Hamas attacked Israel in October 2023.
“On numerous occasions, he expressed his opposition to aggression and wars around the world, and he was among the prominent religious voices that condemned the war crimes and acts of genocide being committed against our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip,” Hamas said in a statement.

Yep and not a single day before
Exactly. Thank you.
What’s oniony about this?
I thought the headline sounded incredibly oniony.
Hmm, what do you see in it?
Leaders of Islamic terrorist organizations aren’t exactly known for giving praise and/or respect to leaders of different religions…
I would not compare Hamas to ISIS or al-Qaeda at all. For starters, they don’t want a caliphate and don’t do jihad. (Or at least did jihad very very long ago. Fun fact: the biggest part of Israel’s current ruling party used to kill IDF soldiers.)
What is so oniony about this?
Israel: “HAMAS has infiltrated the Vatican and is holding hostages in the Papal apartments.”
At the end of the day there aren’t really winners in a war. Just lots of dead people.
That seems to have gone over the heads of Hamas
