The Hamas "Legacy"


(Israel Hayom) Dr. Limor Samimian-Darash - Hamas released another propaganda video this week in honor of its anniversary: Footage of weapons, combat units, terrorist attacks, rockets being launched and the killing and kidnapping of IDF soldiers. This show of force and hatred is more proof of the reality with which Israel deals. Hamas is not a terrorist organization that, once in a while, carries out attacks in the West. Rather it is one that shares a border with us and carries out attacks against us over and over again. Hamas declared that it has carried out more than 80 suicide attacks against Israel and fired more than 15,000 rockets its way. All of this with the explicit intent to murder as many Israeli civilians as possible. Yet there is no international coalition calling to eradicate Hamas. When countries around the world call for the Palestinians to be freed from the occupation, we must remind them that the only occupation Gazans are under is that of the Hamas terrorists that they voted into power. The writer is assistant professor at the School of Public Policy and Government at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
