If Hamas wants to be part of the real world, it has to end up accepting Israel's right to exist.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Sooner or later, Israel will have to defeat Hamas. There is no way around it.
Hamas is really a problem for the Palestinians and for Egypt more than Israel.
Hamas does not represent the national aspirations of the Palestinians. It represents extreme Islamic ideas, which they share with Iran, Hezbollah, and Syria.
The truth about Hamas and Islamic Jihad is that they don't prevent Israel from existing or even flourishing, they prevent Palestine from coming into existence.
Hamas is a terror organization with a covenant that speaks about the elimination of the Jewish people and the State of Israel. They are not partners for negotiations.
Let there be no mistake, Hamas is a ruthless terrorist organization.
I don't think Hamas will be satisfied simply ruling the Gaza Strip.
Iran can exist without Hamas, but Hamas can't exist without Iran.
Hamas is a terrorist organization dedicated to annihilating the Jewish state. It runs a theocratic totalitarian state in Gaza, with no individual liberty, and no freedom of speech or press.
Hamas says in its charter they want to see a world without Israel. They want to obliterate Israel.
