Worse Than Nazis
American Thinker ^ | August 10, 2014 | Gene Schwimmer

By now, the third week of Israel’s Operation Projective Edge, surely there can be no one unaware of the tunnels Hamas spent five years – and millions of dollars of aid money – building to serve as underground bunkers for Hamas’s leadership and as infiltration routes into Israel. Here are photographs of two such tunnels:

Actually, I just lied. For while the top photo is indeed a Hamas “terror tunnel,” the bottom photo, however much it might resemble a tunnel, is in fact a bomb shelter, circa World War II.

Comparing the two photos, it would seem obvious that the tunnels Hamas built to attack Jews in Israel could serve just as well to protect Arabs in Gaza – not just in their solid construction, but in their proximity to Gaza’s civilian population. Recall that these tunnels constitute a vast network, directly beneath the streets of Gaza, often with entrances located within Gazan dwellings.

So why, given the proximity of these tunnels, and the generous advance warnings given by the Israeli military – far more generous than the 15-second warnings Israelis get to seek shelter from Hamas’s rockets – does Hamas not allow their civilian population to use these tunnels as bomb shelters?...................................

Sometimes, a picture really is worth a thousand words:

I hadn’t thought o it that way, but the author is correct. With Obama and with Muslim terrorists, I consistently underestimate their level of evil.

Thanks Cincinatus’ Wife.

> it would seem obvious that the tunnels Hamas built to attack Jews in Israel could serve just as well to protect Arabs in Gaza... given the proximity of these tunnels, and the generous advance warnings given by the Israeli military – far more generous than the 15-second warnings Israelis get to seek shelter from Hamas’s rockets – does Hamas not allow their civilian population to use these tunnels as bomb shelters?

“Yes, Hamas is every bit as evil as the Nazis were in their desire to exterminate Jews from the face of the Earth.”

This is a little pet peeve of mine - I find it so very misleading. Neither the Nazi’s nor Islam insist on the extermination of Jews...only. That truth is, proven to the public, in exactly who they actually attempt to exterminate.

When we fail to acknowledge their true intent, we fail to acknowledge what our enemy is.

We will fail to stop our enemy, when we deceive for our enemy. Deception is always of our enemy and never of our ally.

Just what enemy is it that commands to take the world’s population of man away from God? That is only Satan.

Just what enemy is it that executes the command to take man’s free will to choose to look to God as the Almighty - above man and state - away from man? It is only mankind colluding with Satan and his evil minions...this the enemy we battle and it demands the whole world’s population to submit or die!

Any ideological basis that has so little faith that their so-called secular or religious “god” is the eternal or ephemeral true good, that they must exterminate all opposition, is worshiping “the” false god the father of death.

This why we see the atheistic secularist world align with the Islamists, in both the Nazi era and the current era and neither ideologies have the intents to only exterminate Jews, that is simply a ridiculous lie.

At cost of great magnitude and with God’s grace man can achieve an inner integrity. Without it - death. When we raise our children in atheistic secularism we fail them and we bring on wickedness and death and we enable those who, like our children, will seek to destroy the truth and who will seek to execute all of those who believe the truth.

Who believes the truth? Judeo-Christian religious do, mostly and only. Who will mankind, colluding with Satan and his minions, kill? They attempt to kill everyone, because they are of the dead. They despise all those that are living eternal life and they despise those that are afforded the opportunity to live eternal life.

Oh how I love a story with a happy ending! An Hamas terrorist had been killed and was being carried above a large moving crowd. These geniuses forgot to remove his suicide vest. During the parade, as the crowds cheered the “hero”, something happened and the vest detonated, leaving many more dead ​Arabs on the parade route. http://www.nowtheendbegins.com/blog/?p=23590

Allahu Ahkbar indeed.

I'm not sure the description is accurate though - you see the stretcher with the corpse intact near the end of the film. Are you sure this wasn't a muslim on muslim suicide bombing argeting a funeral procession?
