“What have ye to do with me, O coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head, saith the LORD.” – Joel 3:4
The October 7th surprise attack on Israel by Hamas terrorists was the deadliest terror attack since the reestablishment of the Jewish State in 1948. It was also the worst single-day massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. Sadly, due to lack of knowledge about the conflict and being deceived by Palestinian propaganda on social media and college campuses across the U.S. and world, I see many young people actually siding with the terrorists.
Some ignorant youth actually call the Hamas animals “freedom fighters.” Anti-semitic monsters, who intentionally target the Jewish people with a demonic hatred on par with – if not worse than – that of Adolf Hitler, should never be celebrated, defended, or supported. The Hamas terrorists, who have raped Israeli girls and women, murdered the elderly and children and even beheaded BABIES, are of Satan. They are the worst of the worst and the trash of the human race.
I’ve been fishing around online recently to find a complete detailed history of Hamas’ brutal attacks against innocent Israelis over the course of the past three-plus decades, but couldn’t find any except on Palestinian-biased Wikipedia. So, as I have for other subjects on this website and in my books, I devoted days upon days of research into putting together a thorough history lesson on Hamas of my own.
I searched all over the net to find every notable terror attack by Hamas against the citizens of Israel that they have carried out in their disgusting 37-year existence. While I couldn’t possibly document every single attack they’ve committed in such a large time frame, I focused on their worst and most heinous atrocities from 2001 to present day.
So, for all the ignorant people who ask “why must Israel” bomb Hamas’ home base of Gaza and unintentionally kill the “poor Palestinians” whom Hamas uses as human shields (most of whom support and celebrate the terror attacks against Israel), here’s every reason you need to know as to WHY Israel is at war to rightfully avenge and defend their people – the Jewish people whom Hamas has vowed in their charter to obliterate. Lord willing, this is finally the time when Israel will destroy Hamas once and for all!
(1989-1998)
