(Calgary Sun) Licia Corbella - Hamas, an Islamist terrorist organization, has the stated aim of destroying the State of Israel and killing as many Jews as possible. Peace is not on the agenda of Hamas, or Islamic Jihad and the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades. These groups believe it is an affront to Islam to allow Jews to live on what they believe to be holy Islamic land. Now, if you were running Israel, what would you do? It only makes sense that if the Palestinian Authority doesn't reign in those people vowing to murder you, you have to go and do it yourself. And that's what Israel did. Until the leaders of Palestinian terrorist groups, their funders, and supporters are either killed or jailed, there will be no peace in the Middle East. The author is the editor of the Calgary Sun.
