Who or What Will Finally End Hamas?
American Greatness ^ | 20 Oct, 2025 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 10/20/2025 5:23:10 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Hamas is an irredeemable terrorist cartel that subverts Gaza, uses civilians as shields, and must be dismantled and barred from power before any genuine peace can begin.

Hamas was born and exists to kill Jews, seek the destruction of Israel, and, to some extent, overthrow or subvert pro-Western Arab governments. Period.

For those ends, it diverted billions of dollars from the people of Gaza to build a vast subterranean labyrinth of military headquarters and arsenals. It expropriated hospitals, mosques, and schools for use as tunnel entries and exits, using expendable civilian shields to protect its rich terrorist hierarchy. Hamas always counted on plenty of collateral damage to sway the Western left to become active enablers of its murderous causes—in a way, it is also stone silent on other “occupied land” and “refugees,” from the recent ethnic cleansing in Azerbaijan and Nigeria to the long-standing illegal occupations of Northern Cyprus and swaths of the Congo.

Hamas was willing to execute its Palestinian Authority rivals, cancel all elections after its first and only victory, hold kangaroo death courts to murder dissidents, and steal hundreds of billions of dollars in Western and international relief. It has already violated the ceasefire, attacking and killing Israelis, and now claims it has “lost” the remains of Israeli hostages, whom it likely murdered (and thus does not want more physical evidence of their barbarity).

Hamas will never give up power, despite the fact that its ruling elite is all but wiped out, thousands of its foot soldiers are dead, and it is now loathed by most nations of the Middle East. The subtext of every negotiation over the future of Gaza is that almost every Arab regime privately wants the U.S. or Israel to eliminate Hamas. It is likely more popular at American college campuses

Nuking Mecca & Medina will do the trick of ending Hamas. Until the Islamic centers are wasted, it will continue in one form or another, as it has for the past 1400 odd years.

In 1943, FDR decided that unconditional surrender was essential to bring the Germans and Japanese into line.

Was just gonna say that in different words, Muzziedom is the problem and has been since the 7th century when Big Mo sat on a rock and had the koran beamed in head. Hamas is just a symptom of this plague.

I like what President Trump has done in the ME but these animals are still murdering every day since the agreement. Britain is gone and NYC in a matter of weeks.

2 Peter 3

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.

You confuse Islam with radical Islam. Mecca is in Saudi Arabia and is not radical Islam

The largest population Islamic nation is Indonesia and is not radical. The population of the Indonesian island of Java, is greater than the whole failing nation of Russia

If you want to bomb, rebomb Iran. Destroy Qum and palaces in or around Tehran. That is where the shrines and bad guys are.

The IDF will destroy the armed Hamas. The Abraham Accords coalition will see to it that Hamas is never able to reconstitute.

So if Hamas is destroyed, some democratic entity will rise up to take its place? Or will another militant wing replace it?

Palestinian Authority(Fatah) ran Gaza until Hamas took over in 2007.

While Fatah leadership pursues a diplomatic path, its armed wing, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, has engaged in armed attacks against Israeli military and civilian targets. The Brigades participated in the October 7, 2023 attacks on Israel and continue to be active in the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

When you have an implacable enemy there is only one solution. It’s the furthest thing in the world from rocket science.

So Hamas and other groups like them, they are the only people actually PRACTICING the religion of Islam. ONLY the antichrist will stop them, for a time.

The King of Kings.

You have the right answer. Indeed, every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord.

History shows that the Lord allows empires and believe system to rise and to fall. There was a time when the empires and belief systems of Egypt, Greece, Rome, Israel, Mongols, Nazi Germany, Japan seemed unassailable. They all fell and the Lord used other nations and belief systems to accomplish their fall. A billion or 10 billion Muslims - the Lord will bring them to their knees - either through other men or when the Lord returns with thousands of His Saints and Angels.

The various nations of the Abraham Accords coalition will together take over what was Palestine. From many hints given, they will create a new country that will be an asset rather than a huge liability to the region.

The precise way this will be accomplished has not been revealed. The thing known for sure is that Saudi Arabia and the UAE will provide money. Others will provide stable guidance and security.

The method has been in the bag so to speak for years but was interrupted by Iran/Hamas when the relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel became to close publicly for Iran to tolerate.

“ You confuse Islam with radical Islam. “

Interesting.

Is that comparable to:

“ Don’t confuse Christians with Bible-believing Christians” ?

IOW - Is it a matter of whether one labels themself as a certain “faith” vs. one who knows what their faith actually teaches?

Radical Muslims try to kill us. Moderate Muslims support the radical Muslims.

When are our literati going to realize that Hamas is simply true to what the Quran actually says?

The actual difference being Zero. The only possible hair-spiting difference is the so-called radical muslims what to kill you now, while the so-called moderate muslims want to kill you tomorrow.

There is no radical or moderate Islam; there is only Islam.

Ishmael is regarded as an ancestor of the Prophet Muhammad, linking him to the Arab nations.

“He shall be a wild donkey of a man,
his hand against everyone
and everyone’s hand against him,
and he shall dwell over against all his kinsmen.”

(Gen 16)

God, when HE is ready. Solution, do not go there, do not let your citizens go there and NEVER let them come here. Any Palestinians here MUST be deported back to Palestime STAT, no matter what. Due to their mentality, they are a SERIOUS threat being here.

The brains and money of Hamas are sheltered in Qatar, far from the combat zone. As long as they are safe and sound, there will always be young men in theatre growing up to become the next wave.

You confuse Islam with radical Islam.


Then you do not understand Islam at all. THERE IS ONLY ISLAM - there are no varieties, except in the taqiyah they tell you so you will turn your back, making it easier for them to kill you.

Please read the sunnahs and hadiths: Talibari, Muslim, Isaq and Bukhari. The Suras in the “holy” koran only mean anything when read in context of the above “holy” books - Islam, unlike Christianity or Judaism, has 5 “holy” books.

Qom is the second “holy” city in Iran. Mashhad is the most “holy” city for all of the Shia sect.

If Indonesia is so filled with peaceful muslims, explain their wholesale slaughter of Christians.

“Bad guys” are found wherever muslims are found. Being bad is what they have done for the past 1400 years and nearly 300,000,000 estimated murders.

You probably imagine jihad is a spiritual journey as well. I don’t have the quotes at hand any longer, but it is specifically stated that jihad is killing infidels and every muslim is so obligated in order to enter the Islamic Paradise.

Sherman, Nagasaki, Hiroshima, Dresden, Hamburg, Tokyo. Philippine - American War.

Hamas will quit when every soldier that wants to fight is dead. Or maybe when we quit giving the PA money they use to fund “Pay for Kill”.
