“They aren’t engaged in retaliation for the real or perceived sins of Israel, the U.S. or the West; they are motivated by their very real belief in their supremacy and their right to rule.”
That Israeli withdrawal from Gaza is looking great now, isn’t it?
“Hamas Bringing Islamic Rule to Gaza Strip,” by Julie Stahl for CNSNews.com, with thanks to Morgaan Sinclair:
Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) – “The era of justice and Islamic rule have arrived” in Gaza, a spokesman for the Hamas militia was quoted as saying on Thursday.
Press reports said Hamas fighters — Islamic radicals — are winning their battle with the Fatah faction, which is loyal to Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas.

The Washington-based Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs said that Hamas is determined to take over the Palestinian Liberation Organization, with the end goal of destroying Israel. And while that’s significant, JINSA said, there are lessons that go beyond the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Hamas, Hizballah, al Qaeda, the Taliban, Ansar al-Islam and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad are among the non-state organizations that seek to acquire territory as a means of spreading their broader agenda. They derive support from states such as Iran, Saudi Arabia and Syria.
Members of such terror groups should not be allowed to run for elective office because it won’t make them responsible, JINSA said in a statement.
Don’t offer terrorists coalition status because they want everything, JINSA said; don’t praise them for social service work because they are training the children to be future bombers; believe them when they say they have an agenda and they’ll die and kill you for it, the group said.
“They aren’t engaged in retaliation for the real or perceived sins of Israel, the U.S. or the West; they are motivated by their very real belief in their supremacy and their right to rule.”
Cut off financial and military support, punish their state sponsors and be ready “to kill as many of them as necessary to accomplish this goal,” the group said.
