OPINION:
Following the 2014 Hamas-Israel conflict, the United Nations (no friend of Israel) reported that Israel had a right to prevent weapons getting into Gaza. After the recent weeks of attacks on Israel’s Gaza border and the firing of 500 rockets in one day, including tank missiles, at Israeli civilian targets, there can be no further disagreement that Israel is fully justified in its embargo.
Article 7 of the Hamas charter calls for the death of every Jew on Earth. Hamas is the Palestinian chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood, whose other branches include CAIR and the Muslim Students’ Association chapters at many of our universities.
Funding by the Muslim Brotherhood, its associates, the European Union and other nations hostile to Israel, has kept Hamas in power since 2007. Only the Palestinian Authority withholds payments from them.
It’s time Hamas is recognized as the genocidal war criminals they are. For the sake of the people of Gaza, Hamas must be removed.
