Hamas' most potent weapon is not its tunnels, arms, manpower or its use of human shields. It has mastered the art of deceiving, cheating, and manipulating to achieve its objectives.

For years, I have closely observed Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist groups, which had led me to a significant conclusion that I feel compelled to share.

Hamas' most potent weapon is not its tunnels, arms, manpower or its use of human shields. It has mastered the art of deceiving, cheating, and manipulating to achieve its objectives.

What I have observed is disturbing: Hamas has skillfully convinced Westerners and the international community that acts of terrorism are a legitimate means of self-defense, all while portraying Israel as the aggressor. This calculated tactic has led many to perceive Hamas as a victim rather than the perpetrator of violence.

Furthermore, my work (look at my extensive timeline) has uncovered instances where members of Hamas' self-proclaimed "political wing" have actively participated in or supported acts of terrorism. This also extends to Hamas government employees, members of NGOs, journalists, police, and ordinary civilians.

For instance, earlier today, I identified with a high degree or certainty that a judge in Hamas' military court actively participated in carrying out attacks for Hamas during the war.

My findings over the years have led me to believe that Hamas is, in reality, a farce. Hamas has unequivocally demonstrated that achieving peace with Israel through negotiations is nothing more than a ruse.

Instead, the Islamist organization is at best merely engaged in lulls in violence to rearm and regroup, which is what is unfolding at present.

Hamas' ultimate objective is to persist in carrying out acts of terrorism until it has defeated Israel. The devastating terrorist attacks on October 7th have demonstrated that Hamas can operate with impunity as long as it continues to deceive and manipulate Western nations, the international community, and the Palestinian population in Gaza.

If the world wants to see peace in the region, it must treat Hamas for what it is : A terrorist organization.

...

American Marxists cheer for Hamas and Hezbollah both. It's sad and disgusting. College credentialism has created a generation of NPCs ready to take the side of the violent party.

...

Anyone who does not see this does not want to.

...

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was to convince the world he didn't exist.

....

Israel has the right to defend itself against terrorist groups like Hamas that continuously target civilians with rockets. Hamas uses civilians as shields, violating international law and

HAMAS’ most effective weapon is forcing the Israelis to collaterally kill their fellow citizens by using them as human shields.

BUT...if we look at the actual events of October 7th, we cannot HIDE THE FACT THAT THE AVERAGE GAZAN, men, women and children totally supported (and still support) the murder, rape, mutilation, burning and outright savagery of the HAMAS fighters and their so-called, “non-combatants”against innocent Jews.

Therefore, to this very day, the question must be asked:

ARE THEIR REALLY “INNOCENTS” IN GAZA?, AND DO THE VAST MAJORITY OF PALEOstinians support HAMAS today?

Any objective person should reach the nasty conclusion that the majority of the population in Gaza would gladly welcome another slaughter of innocent Jews again.

THAT should be our guiding policy when trying to resolve the conflict.

“Hamas’ most potent weapon is not its tunnels, arms, manpower or its use of human shields. It has mastered the art of deceiving, cheating, and manipulating to achieve its objectives.”

It’s CRITICAL to understand that the above can only work when the Western Media is complicit, as they clearly are regarding Hamas (even to the point of helping with the Oct. 7th raid). And while Hamas has perfected this tactic, Ukraine is is pretty darn good at it also.

They have “mastered” nothing.

WE are complicit in accepting the propaganda, allowing spineless bureaucrats to “wage war”, and allowing the bribery and corruption of out government to allow these cockroaches to live.

If it weren’t for Hamas or ISIS or ISIL or MS-13 or the Taliban or the “cartels” or (insert any scary group of killers) then how will we justify “sending aid” in the form of money and equipment (also money) and blood (our blood and those of our colonial troops/police)...also money so they can have a boogey man to wave in front of us and control US and take from us even more.....of our blood and money and ultimately our lives as we are nothing but sheep or meat puppets to use as they see fit.

Hamas has the American MSM on its side, repeating its lies and propaganda. That is probably its greatest weapon.

THAT should be our guiding policy when trying to resolve the conflict.

Over the years, billions (maybe trillions) in aid, and nothing has changed. Before 1948, the people attacked Jews, in 1948 within hours of the UN declaring Israel, and they attacked again.

After much consideration, moving the Palestinians off the West Bank, and back to Egypt is probably the best. They need exposure to a culture with different values. Trump is right. It’s the best way forward, and allows rebuild of the West Bank.

Enemedia , colleges and .. repeating moslem lies and propaganda.

The goal of Dawah by Islamists is to destroy Freedom & Liberty, then replace them with strict Sharia... Dawah is to the Islamists what the ‘long march through the institutions’ is to Marxists.

Their most potent weapon is the Western Maoists who've decided that they are the good guys and Israel (and the US) are the bad guys.

They took that strategy right out of the North Vietnamese playbook in the 60s. The likes of John Friggin Kerry,Hanoi Jane and many others decided that we were the bad guys.

In this case the media is on their side. They are not being tricked, they are willing participants.
