The world should stop siding with Hamas terrorists

Defenders of Hamas will be forever remembered as terrorist-enablers.

Countless protesters, academics, and street thugs are attacking Jews worldwide — beating, harassing, and in some cases murdering them — in defense of pure evil. They blame Israel, and by extension Jews, including Jews with no connection to Israel, for the deaths of Hamas fighters and Gazan civilians.

It must be made clear that 100 percent of those killed in the war between Israel and Hamas are the direct responsibility of Hamas. Hamas caused each and every death. If Hamas-supporters can’t wrap their heads around that, they have no sense of right and wrong.

On October 7, Hamas and civilians who joined the massacre stormed into Israel. They targeted women, children, babies, and festival-goers. They murdered 1,200 people with a level of sadism that would make Satan flinch, and they dragged 250 hostages — including infants — into Gaza. That is how this war began.

When Israel struck back, Hamas fired from behind its own people, from tunnels under hospitals and mosques. Hamas built no shelters for civilians while their fighters hid underground. No army in modern urban warfare has faced an enemy that so deliberately manipulated its own women and children as human shields — and still managed to fight with the restraint Israel has shown. Animals protect their young. Hamas does the opposite.

Hamas placed its own civilians in the line of fire and then exploited the resulting carnage to generate international outrage against Israel.

That strategy strangely worked.

What kind of leaders do this to their own people as a tactic to gain world attention and support? Worse, who would fall for it? The sad reality is that many fell for it and still do. It would be a better question to ask the gullible why

The gullible would fall for it because they are leftists and have upside down morals.

Hamas brutally attacked Israel on October 7th with warnings ignored including young women of the Israel Defense Forces watching the cameras on the border prior to the attack

After the attack more than 70,000 killed almost 175.000 wounded with many parts of Gaza looking like Berlin in 1945.

Too far, too over the top and saying it does not make me either a Hamas terrorist or a terrorist sympathizer much less a Jew hater or Antisemite

[Libloather]

The DNC’s Hamas wing does not want to hear this...

[wny]

Hamas is responsible for what’s happening in gaza

[TigersEye]

People who support terrorist are themselves terrorists.

Never negotiate with terrorists.

[Nextrush]

The bloody nature of what is happening is not denied.

As for Hamas their sudden appearance out of nowhere overthrowing the Leftist Arafat Palestinian rule of Mahmoud Abbas’s faction in Gaza back in 2007 very convenient for Israel.

It split rule over Palestinian territories into two factions.

Do foreign intelligence agencies astroturf terrorists they sure did with Syrian and Libyan civil wars CIA-MI 6 ops probably learned something from the Mossad folks.

========================================================

Rabid animals have to be put down for the safety of every other living thing.

These monsters wearing human skin? Thorough burning after extermination to spare the environment further contamination.

I notice that those fervently believing Israel wants genocide when the total opposite is true have almost all received higher education, thus should know to investigate wild claims before taking them for granted. It's almost as if they're under some sort of contagious evil spell.

Could it be...SATAN!?

Maybe not, but it does show your utter ignorance of the nature of urban warfare. And of the motivation of Hamas to increase its own civilian casualties for political benefit. You, and countless others, have been manipulated by a hostile, deceitful media and Islamic ideology. The "Next Rush" should do better.

[Uncle Miltie]

Every single death is Hamas’ fault.

They started it.

They can still today surrender themselves and their weapons and end this.

They don’t.

Make the rubble bounce.

[Uncle Miltie]

Blame the victims.

Nice.

You mean like NextRush (sic)?

1. I would not trust stats from the Gaza Health Ministry or from liberal sources.

2. Palestinia was never a state, and residents and were essentally squatters on land given to Israel by God, and the Hebrews lost it as warneds, due to persistent disobefences. Thru a succession of conquerers, the Hebrews were given a prtion of their lansd back, which from the outset Islam/ Palestians.Islam, would not tolerate.
Which is in contrast to the the 1.85 million Muslims living in Israel, representing about 18.6% do those who live in Israel, as part of the 2.1 million Arabs making up roughly 21 percent of the country's total population.

3. The war with its deaths is due to decades of militant Islam - meaning following Muhammad's example who attacked Jews and engaged in wars of conquest - refusing peaceful co-existence with Israel, who has sacrficed much in seeking the peaceful co-existence - with "historical records documenting tens of thousands of separate attacks by Palestinians spanning decades."

Scale of Attacks

• Rocket Fire: Palestinian militant groups have fired more than 20,000 rockets and mortars from the Gaza Strip into Israeli civilian areas since 2001. 
  Wikipedia
• Suicide Bombings & Shootings: During peak periods of conflict, such as the Second Intifada (2000–2005), hundreds of suicide bombings, stabbings, and shooting attacks killed over 1,000 Israelis. 
  American Jewish Committee (AJC)
• Major Assaults: The October 7, 2023, cross-border assault led by Hamas—a group designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, European Union, and other nations—resulted in the deaths of over 1,200 people in Israel in a single day.

Responsible Groups

Multiple factions engage in these tactics, many of which are internationally designated as terrorist organizations: 

Wikipedia

• Hamas: Controls the Gaza Strip and has led numerous rocket campaigns, suicide bombings, and the October 7 massacres.
• Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ): Frequently launches independent and coordinated rocket strikes and bombings against Israeli cities.
• Other Factions: Groups such as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades have historically conducted armed attacks, hijackings, and shootings. 
  Congress.gov +4

Because the conflict involves decentralized micro-tactics (such as individual stabbings, vehicular rammings, and localized clashes) alongside large-scale military campaigns, international databases track casualties and major incidents rather than a cumulative count of individual operations. 

[Nextrush]

Blame victims nonsense blame leaders who choose to fan the flames of terrorism to create the victims.

The members of law enforcement domestically and intelligence agencies internationally who use informants and undercover agents to influence incite ‘extremists, terrorists’ etc. etc.

[Kudsman]

Hamas makes size 6 month old suicide vests.

Hamas brutally attacked Israel on October 7th with warnings ignored including young women of the Israel Defense Forces watching the cameras on the border prior to the attack

And just why would (a complacent) Israel need to be watching cameras for an attack? If HAMAS and its predecessors actually wanted peace they easily could had peaceful coexistence (of course, if the Jews had not persistently backslid, despite the warnings of God's chastisement and impending expulsion spanning roughly 300 years then they would not have lost their land and suffer chastisement from the wicked, which is God's "sword" [Psalms 17:13], and today only a minority of Israel are devout Jews, while most still reject their Messiah).

Since its founding, Israel has entered into several diplomatic negotiations, territorial withdrawals, and peace treaties with its neighbors. Primary diplomatic efforts, treaties, and territorial actions taken by Israel since 1947 include the following:

 

1. Acceptance of the 1947 UN Partition Plan

• The Action: The Jewish leadership accepted United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181, which proposed dividing Mandatory Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states. 
  American Jewish Committee (AJC) +1
• The Context: The plan allocated a fragmented territory to the Jewish state, which included the Negev desert. The Arab Higher Committee and neighboring Arab states rejected the partition plan, leading to the 1948 Arab-Israeli War following Israel's declaration of independence.

2. The 1979 Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty & Sinai Withdrawal

• The Action: Israel signed a historic peace treaty with Egypt, orchestrated through the Camp David Accords.
• The Concession: To achieve normalized relations, Israel returned the entire Sinai Peninsula—a landmass three times the size of Israel itself—which it had captured during the 1967 Six-Day War. This required dismantling strategic military bases, relinquishing oil fields, and forcibly evacuating thousands of Israeli citizens from settlements like Yamit.

3. The 1993 and 1995 Oslo Accords

• The Action: Israel signed the Oslo Accords with the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
• The Concession: For the first time, Israel recognized the PLO as the representative of the Palestinian people and yielded territorial administration. Israel withdrew its military forces from major Palestinian population centers and created the Palestinian Authority (PA), granting it civil and security control over designated parts of the West Bank and Gaza Strip (Areas A and B).

4. The 1994 Treaty with Jordan

• The Action: Israel negotiated and signed a formal peace treaty with Jordan.
• The Concession: The treaty settled long-standing land and water disputes, with Israel adjusting border lines and agreeing to share vital water resources from the Jordan and Yarmouk rivers. Israel also formally recognized the special role of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in administering Muslim holy shrines in Jerusalem.

5. The 2000 Camp David Summit Offer

• The Action: Prime Minister Ehud Barak participated in final-status peace talks mediated by U.S. President Bill Clinton at Camp David.
• The Concession: Israel proposed the establishment of an independent Palestinian state encompassing roughly 91% to 95% of the West Bank and the entire Gaza Strip, along with a capital in East Jerusalem. The proposal also included a mechanism for land swaps to compensate for retained settlement blocs. Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat rejected the offer without a counter-proposal, and the summit collapsed, followed by the Second Intifada.

6. The 2005 Unilateral Disengagement from Gaza

• The Action: Under Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, Israel carried out a complete, unilateral withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and four isolated settlements in the northern West Bank. 
  EBSCO +1
• The Concession: Israel dismantled all 21 Jewish settlements in Gaza, evacuated approximately 9,000 Israeli residents, and withdrew all military personnel to the pre-1967 green line, yielding full internal control of the territory to the PA. (In 2007, Hamas subsequently seized control of the strip from the PA). 
  American Jewish Committee (AJC) +2

7. The 2008 Olmert Peace Offer

• The Action: Prime Minister Ehud Olmert extended a comprehensive peace proposal to PA President Mahmoud Abbas.
• The Concession: Olmert’s plan offered a near-total withdrawal from the West Bank, suggesting that Israel retain roughly 6.3% of the territory to account for major settlement blocs while compensating the Palestinians with a 5.8% land swap from Israeli territory. The plan also proposed international governance for Jerusalem’s Holy Basin. Abbas did not formally accept the offer, and negotiations stalled as Olmert faced legal challenges at home.

8. The 2009-2010 Settlement Freeze

• The Action: Prompted by the U.S. administration, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu enacted a 10-month moratorium on new residential construction starts in West Bank settlements.
• The Concession: This temporary freeze was intended as a gesture to bring Palestinian leadership back to the negotiating table, though the gesture did not result in a breakthrough or sustained direct negotiations. 
  American Jewish Committee (AJC)

9. The 2020 Abraham Accords

• The Action: Israel signed normalization agreements with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan.
• The Concession: To achieve these diplomatic breakthroughs, Israel agreed to suspend its proposed plans to annex portions of the West Bank (the Jordan Valley and major settlement blocs), a move that had been part of the contemporary Israeli political

Oh I see: according to your sect, its all part of a conspiracy, with Israel planning 911 and Oct. 7, thus your remark about women watching cameras, while ‘extremists, terrorists’ are in quotes as victims. Just spell it out.
