A hooded Hamas terrorist, reminiscent of an anti-Semitic Ku Klux Klan member, recently told throngs in Gaza that his “force was based in one of the houses” there where there “was also a small girl.”
The gun-toting Hamas fighter had his face obscured by a straw mask and wore a Ghillie suit traditionally worn by snipers.
Appearing to cry beneath his outfit, the unnamed member of Hamas’s Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades described how he lost other fighters when the house they were using was attacked.
Fighting from civilian areas is a traditional Hamas tactic, yet it violates important provisions of the Geneva Conventions that were intended to protect civilians from armed combatants during war time.
During Operation Cast Lead, foreign correspondents witnessed Hamas prepare and launch missiles against Israel from an area next to a hotel and next to Gaza’s al-Shifa hospital.
Hamas terrorists and racist Ku Klux Klan members in the United States share many of the same qualities:
- Anti-Semitic and racist violence
- A rabid intolerance for all who live outside their belief system.
- A desire to wage jihad or holy war against those who don’t follow to their beliefs.
