Nothing I said, NOTHING, exonerates Hamas for the atrocities they have committed. In fact, Netanyahu has admitted publicly that the main he helped finance Hamas to power in Gaza was to create a division between Palestinian factions.
And note that Netanyahu has publicly identified the Palestinians as “Amalekites”. That’s an explicit reference to the worst tribe of the Philistines during the time the Israelites in the book of Judges entered Palestine.
But that was a one-off. The Jews in Israel today are NOT the Jews of Biblical times, and the Palestinians in Gaza are NOT Amalekites.
Today’s Palestinians include Christians like Justin Amash’s Christian family, many of whom have been murdered in the mass bombing of Gaza. They are obviously not Hamas, which is a Muslim group, nor are they terrorists. But children in Justin’s family are among those murdered deliberately by IDF soldiers.
“Be not deceived, God is not mocked; for a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”
Make no mistake. There is enough blame to go around for both the Hamas and for the Jews there. Both sides in the Sinaloa cartel internal “civil war” have committed atrocities. A thousand Jews killed, albeit some of them in IDF attacks on houses where there were Palestinians, and 20,000 Palestinians killed directly by IDF guns and bombs, and about 300,000 in total, including the aftermath of bombings of hospitals and mosques and Christian churches destroyed with people in them.
