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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Hamas does not represent the national aspirations of the Palestinians. It represents extreme Islamic ideas, which they share with Iran, Hezbollah, and Syria.
Sooner or later, Israel will have to defeat Hamas. There is no way around it.
Hamas, also elected to governmental leadership in Palestine, includes the jihadists, people who have declared war on the United States of America and its ally, Israel.
Hamas has long been Israel's enemy, but in the wake of the Arab Spring, the group is empowered like never before.
Hamas says in its charter they want to see a world without Israel. They want to obliterate Israel.
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.
If Hamas wants to be part of the real world, it has to end up accepting Israel's right to exist.
Hamas is really a problem for the Palestinians and for Egypt more than Israel.
The aggressive, unprovoked acts of violence against Israel by Hezbollah and Hamas are revealing. It is clear they don't want peace, but rather seek the ultimate destruction of Israel.
Palestinian propagandists can say and do anything they please without concern for the truth, in the belief that if they repeat it often enough it will simply become the truth.
