(Guardian-UK) Yiftah Curiel - Hamas' recent statements celebrating the murder of four Jews by Palestinian terrorists as they prayed in their Jerusalem synagogue are entirely consistent with its charter, which calls for the murder of Jews. Hamas TV, in a form of incitement and child abuse combined, teaches Palestinian children that all Jews should be killed, in order to brainwash the next generation to despise their Israeli neighbors and seek their destruction. Earlier this year, Hamas members murdered three Jewish teenagers who were on their way home from school. Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal spoke warmly about the "blessed hands" of the perpetrators. In August, Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said: "Anyone who has a knife, a club, a weapon, or a car, yet does not use it to run over a Jew or a settler, and does not use it to kill dozens of Zionists, does not belong to Palestine." Hamas is a representative of a jihadi ideology that is the main obstacle to peace in our region. Its rule of Gaza is an ongoing tragedy for both Palestinians and Israelis. Hamas must be condemned and marginalized by the international community, just like ISIS and al-Qaeda, so that it doesn't quash the hopes of the majority of Israelis and Palestinians to live in peace.
