Letter to the Editor: Hamas must be destroyed
Trending
Many Americans alleged Israel deserved the invasion by Hamas-Palestinian terrorists because Israelis are occupying Palestinian lands. Actually, Palestinians are living on Israeli land. Numerous archaeological excavations have documented the Jewish people have resided in the land of Israel for many thousand years. The Palestinian nation didn't exist until after World War II.
Israel seeks to peacefully co-exist with the Palestinians and gave the Gaza Strip to the Palestinian people. Yet, the Palestinians led by the terrorist organization Hamas, the party they chose to represent them, continually fire rockets into Israel killing innocent citizens. Hamas denies Israel has the right to exist and is now invading Israel.
Israel attempted to avoid civilian casualties by dropping leaflets warning Palestinian citizens to leave Gaza to avoid being killed and waiting to give innocent Palestians time to flee Gaza.
In contrast, Hamas terrorists prevented their own Palestinian citizens from leaving Gaza, forcing them to remain as human shields to die there and give Hamas a propaganda victory. Hamas can claim that Israel targeted and killed innocent citizens, which the fake news media is happy to report, without any fact checking.
Hamas never gave Israelis 24 hours notice before paragliding into Israel and opening fire at an Israeli music festival, killing 265 innocent festival goers, before invading Israeli homes killing Israeli citizens, burning some alive, raping women, beheading babies and performing other other unmentionable atrocities and taking over 200 people, some Americans, as hostages.
Animals only kill for food or to defend themselves. The Hamas terrorists showed great glee at killing innocents, thus, they are less than animals. They are evil monsters which must be destroyed.
Israel has never used innocent civilians as human shields like the cowardly Hamas terrorists. Nor has Israel ever launched missiles into Gaza from hospitals or schools so innocent citizens would be killed. Hamas keeps the Palestinian populace poor and hungry, by using humanitarian aid to construct underground tunnels and bunkers. Gaza has few water and sewer lines because Hamas uses the piping to construct missiles to fire into Israel.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyaha correctly stated Hamas must be totally eliminated, not one of these monsters must be allowed to remain alive.
Soon, Iran must be dealt with before they develop nuclear weapons and give them to terrorist groups worldwide -- a much greater threat to humanity than a conceived climate crisis.
