From the New York Times (sorry) on the Centanni-Wiig hostage video:

Still, Palestinian factions have long insisted that their battle is only with Israel, and it is highly unusual that the statement singles out the United States for denunciation.
The statement condemned the American military presence in Iraq and Afghanistan, saying, “The powers of evil are united in waging wars against Islam and their people.”

It’s almost as if it were the same war or something. How strange.
