Hamas leader abroad Khaled Mashal said in his May 18, 2024 address to the Flood of the Free conference hosted by the Muslims Brotherhood in Istanbul, Turkey that the Al-Aqsa Flood war is good for Mankind, for the Muslims, and Arabs, their countries, and their security and stability. He thanked the "great student Flood" emerging from American, European, and Western universities. Mashal called for a "financial Flood" supplying Palestinians with food and other supplies, as well as weapons for the mujahideen. He called for a "media Flood" spreading the Palestinian narrative and a "legal Flood" such as in the international courts in the Hague. Mashal said: "We should prosecute the criminal killers." He added that being far away from Palestine does not absolve Muslims from Jihad and resistance, and he called for a "Jihadi Flood."

Khaled Mashal's address was posted on the Global Coalition for Quds and Palestine on Facebook. At the same conference, Indian Islamic scholar Maulana Salman Hussaini Nadwi called for Muslims worldwide to attack Israel, eliminate "this worm," and destroy Tel Aviv (see MEMRI TV clip 11102).

"We Thank The Great Student Flood Which Emerged From American, European, And Western Universities"

Khaled Mashal: "We thank the great student Flood, which emerged from the American, European, and Western universities, and has reached all the countries of our nation. We are grateful for the spirit that we have witnessed in our nation, and in humanity as a whole. We are grateful to the free people of the world."

[...]

"The world is changing. Gaza has changed the region and the world. Gaza has revealed the nobility of humanity."

[...]

"We Have An Opportunity To Change The World, And To Make Palestine A Blessing To Mankind, By Annihilating The Zionists"

"We have the opportunity to defeat Israel, Allah willing. We have an opportunity to dismantle the Zionist enterprise."

[...]

"We have an opportunity to change the world, and to make Palestine a blessing to Mankind, by annihilating the Zionists and their sinful enterprise."

[...]

We Want A Flood Of The Public, "Millions To Return To The Streets", And A "Siege Of Israeli And American Embassies[;] We Want A Legal Flood, Like In The Hague"

"Three major steps are required from you. The first step is to continue what you started immediately following October 7. The activities and the programs that you have held throughout the past 8 months – you should continue them."

[...]

"Continue your financial Jihad. We want a continuous financial Flood, in support of Gaza, to provide the people shelter, aid, and food, in support of the mujahideen, and in order to buy weapons for them."

[...]
"We want a Flood of the public, we want the millions to return to the streets."

[...]

"We want the masses of our nation to remain in the streets, in support of the war in Gaza, Jerusalem, and the West Bank. They should declare their rage against the Zionists and their supporters.

"We want a flood in the form of a siege of the Israeli and American embassies. We want constant rage that will stop this aggression. We want a media Flood that will deliver its message. We want the truthful Palestinian narrative to reach far and to control all social media platforms and all forums. We want a legal Flood, like in the Hague. We should prosecute the criminal killers. We stand by South Africa and the countries that have now joined it – Turkey, Libya, and Egypt."

[...]

"We Want A Flood Of Jihad And Resistance... The Al-Aqsa Flood War Is Good For All Of You... Because Annihilating The Zionists Is Good For Humanity As A Whole"

"The second step is that we want to become involved in the battle of Jihad and resistance. Today, we have a greater duty to do more than all we have done before. Indeed, on several fronts, there is blessed participation in the Jihad, and we are grateful to the people behind it. We want total integration in the battle on the ground. Today, we want a Flood of Jihad and resistance."

[...]

"Being far way does not absolve us from the duty of Jihad and resistance. This is a great honor. When the Muslims recaptured Palestine, Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque from the Crusaders, this duty was not shouldered only by the people of Palestine or the Levant. The entire nation came under the banner of Saladin. Today, the Islamic nation is obligated to join this blessed Jihadi Flood. When it does, we will see wonders."

[...]

"By Allah, the Al-Aqsa Flood war is good for all of you. It is good for the Arabs, the Muslims, your countries, your security, and stability.

"It is good for Mankind, because annihilating the Zionists is good for humanity as a whole."
