Hamas Shows Its True Colors
They want what Hitler wanted.
This past weekend, Israel experienced the worst atrocity perpetuated against the Jewish people since the Holocaust. And we should make no mistake what it was about. Hamas, Hezbollah, and their backers in Iran have been very clear. They have told us what they want. They have told us who they are. Those people chanting, “Death to Israel,” “Death to the Jews,” and also, “Death to America,” aren’t being hyperbolic. That is literally their aim.
Murdering women and toddlers wasn’t an “unfortunate price that had to be paid” in order to “decolonize an apartheid state.” It was the end goal. Attacks upon innocent civilians, the raping, the torturing, the murdering—these were always part of the plan. The evil men who carried out these attacks want the same thing that Hitler wanted. They aren’t freedom fighters. They aren’t victims of Israeli or American “imperialism.”
Hamas may play to the sympathies of Westerners concerned with the plight of Palestinians, but make no mistake: Hamas doesn’t care about the Palestinian people. They hide in schools and hospitals. They use their own nieces and nephews as human shields. Their propaganda pretends otherwise, but they celebrate when they force Israel to kill civilians, because they know the anti-Semites of the world will unite in support of their cause. Every time Israel has offered a two-state solution, Hamas has rejected it. They don’t want a two-state solution. They want to kill Jews.
Hamas is evil. Hezbollah is evil. The Iranian regime is evil. Their goal is genocide.
