Israel has once again had to defend itself from the terrorism of Hamas. Sometimes it is easy to forget why this conflict between Israel and Palestine continues with no end in sight. Whilst I am no expert on these matters, I am fairly confident I do know more than enough to understand that Hamas are the terrorists, and Israel are defending their people from terrorist attacks.
First thing you should know is that Hamas proclaims they are the sole custodian of the right of Palestinian people over the whole of Israel (they consider it to be Palestine). They created an organisation known as Hamas which declared their Covenant of the Islamic Resistance Movement on August 18,1988.
For your information, the main points of this covenant are:
1. The Islamic Resistance Movement is a distinguished Palestinian movement, whose allegiance is to Allah, and whose way of life is Islam. It strives to raise the banner of Allah over every inch of Palestine (Article 6). They mean the whole of Israel!
2. Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it. That means destruction of Israel.
3. The land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf [Holy Possession] consecrated for future Moslem generations until Judgment Day. No one can renounce it or any part or abandon it or any part of it (Article 11). Meaning this conflict can never end, until they have destroyed Israel.
4. The day the enemies usurp part of Moslem land, Jihad becomes the individual duty of every Moslem. In the face of the Jews' usurpation, it is compulsory that the banner of Jihad be raised (Article 15).
5. [Peace] Initiatives, and so-called peaceful solutions and international conferences are in contradiction to the principles of the Islamic Resistance Movement. Those conferences are no more than a means to appoint the infidels as arbitrators in the lands of Islam. There is no solution for the Palestinian problem except by Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are but a waste of time, an exercise in futility (Article 13).
6. The HAMAS regards itself the spearhead and the vanguard of the circle of struggle against World Zionism. Islamic groups all over the Arab world should also do the same, since they are best equipped for their future role in the fight against the warmongering Jews (Article 32).
I can give you chapter and verse, but I hope the above few points illustrates what we are dealing with. An enemy of humanity that uses religion to summon people to a war cry which has only one aim, to destroy Israel and its people. It is not about human rights; it is not about the Palestinian people – it is simply about the total destruction of the Jewish people.
You don’t have to like Israel or the Jewish people. You don’t even have to agree with what they say or do. However, if you cannot understand the enemy it is fighting, the Islamic terrorist Hamas, then you fail to understand why Israel needs to be strong.
Israel has exercised its right under international law to defend itself from terrorist attacks. It is unfortunate that western politicians on the left, and the woke brigade, have sided with the terrorists. Fortunately, the British public can see the truth and most of us stand with Israel.
I await the day when the global Muslim community denounces Hamas with one voice. They have a choice, you side with terrorists or you are with humanity. Make up your minds.
