Hams interior minister Fathi Hammad spoke to the Student Council at Islamic University in Gaza yesterday.

He told them that "the Zionist occupation practices a hidden, invisible war against our young people, using drugs and pornography to destroy them."

He also told them to keep on learning science and engineering to close the gap with the West and go on the path of jihad, in order for there to be a "rebirth of the nation."

It is unclear exactly what nation he is referring to. Hamas wants to see a pan-Islamic nation, with "Palestine" a mere tactical step to get there.

The Zionist invasion is a vicious invasion. It does not refrain from resorting to all methods, using all evil and contemptible ways to achieve its end. It relies greatly in its infiltration and espionage operations on the secret organizations it gave rise to, such as the Freemasons, The Rotary and Lions clubs, and other sabotage groups. All these organizations, whether secret or open, work in the interest of Zionism and according to its instructions. They aim at undermining societies, destroying values, corrupting consciences, deteriorating character and annihilating Islam. It is behind the drug trade and alcoholism in all its kinds so as to facilitate its control and expansion.
