The Horror Show of Hamas Must End Now
(New York Times) Bret Stephens - On Saturday, Hamas gunmen paraded three skeletally thin Israeli hostages for a propaganda video in which they were forced to thank their captors. Anyone who thinks that Hamas can be allowed to continue to torture Israelis, tyrannize Palestinians and remain the ruling power in Gaza, free to someday set fire to the region again, needs to be disabused of the idea. What governments can't do is accept a status quo in which Gaza remains indefinitely under Hamas's thumb and Israel remains perpetually at risk. What hasn't worked is expecting Hamas to behave as anything other than the barbaric terror group that it is. This horror show of Hamas must end now.
