the harsh realities of Hamas faced by Israel
‘Hamas’ is an acronym for ‘Islamic Resistance Movement’. They are defined by their strict adherence to Islam in every aspect. It’s their understanding that the entire land of Israel is Muslim holy land that is required to be under the complete control of Muslims and they don’t have the right or privilege to give up the fight for the land until every last inch is retaken. And besides being under the full control of Muslims they also believe that the land must specifically be ruled over by strict Muslim theocracy. This is why Israel can’t make a peace agreement with Hamas. Any peace agreement with Hamas would just empower Hamas to continue its war against Israel.
Hamas are enormous hypocrites. Despite all their complaints about Israeli occupation they don’t actually have a general problem with occupation. In fact, they want Muslims to conquer and occupy the entire world. In December last year one of the Hamas leaders in Gaza, Mahmoud al-Zahar, said that retaking Palestine would only be the first step towards Muslim global conquest. Hamas are called fundamentalist Muslims because they want to get back to the fundamentals at Islam’s roots. A major part of that was trying to conquer the whole world, resulting in the Muslim occupation of millions of square miles of land during Islam’s first century of existence. Hamas sees these jihad conquests as the perfect ideal for them to emulate. Thus, Hamas sees non-Muslim occupation of Muslim land as bad and Muslim occupation of non-Muslim land as good.
Hamas are fanatically anti-Jewish. They have expressed their hatred of Jews in general on numerous occasions and even blame the Jews for far flung events in history far outside the Mideast such as the French Revolution. The very existence of Jews in the land of Israel under the rule of Hamas would be unthinkable. Hamas wouldn’t have the slightest clue how to accommodate the presence of Jews under its rule if it ever got into power even if it wanted to.
Even aside from their hatred of Jews, Hamas are violently intolerant. These are people who will murder their sister because she was raped, which in their view brings dishonor to their family. They will murder their brother because he committed apostasy and converted from Islam to another religion. They would murder anyone who committed blasphemy against the prophet Mohammed or who destroyed a Koran.
