1. 100 Days On A War Started By Hamas That Will Be Finished By Israel
Remember: People in Israel and Gaza were asleep on a weekend when Hamas started the war, on Saturday, Oct. 7, 2023. Hamas violated a ceasefire and launched an unprovoked attack. There was no reason to trigger such a brutal attack; no occupation as Hamas claims; the IDF withdrew from Gaza 18 years ago. This was a free Palestinian territory, under Palestinian rule, used by a Palestinian terror group to commit aggression against a neighbor. It was a Hamas war of choice whose scars could last for years.
2. 100 Days On Hostages In Captivity
Hamas terrorists attacked Israeli families in border towns known for supporting peace with Palestinians. Many of those Israelis were known for helping job-seekers from Gaza. One of the Israeli families used to drive the ill from the Gaza border to Israeli hospitals. Hamas struck at the heart of those nascent Israeli-Gaza relationships. Hamas, and not Israel, wants a long war with high civilian casualties. That’s the Hamas strategy. War could have ended in the first week by releasing Israelis kidnapped from inside their houses. Hamas refused.
3. 100 Days On Using Gazans As Human Shields
Hamas cynically sacrificed Gaza’s Palestinians. Hamas started a war, and its terrorists ran to hide in bunkers, leaving Gaza’s two million residents to wake up to expected Israeli retaliation. Hamas ensured a maximum number of Gazans were killed by storing its equipment close to or inside civilian neighborhoods. Hamas claims it did this for a Palestinian cause, but in reality, it caused the deaths of thousands of both Palestinians and Israelis, a figure unprecedented since 1948.
4. 100 Days On Hate-Mongering
Hamas triggered the biggest wave of hate and racism around the world since 9/11, when Al-Qaeda had done the same. The savagery and depravity, the rapes, and the mutilation of bodies was to ensure war between Israel and Palestinians, between Jews and Muslims, and to divide people worldwide. Hamas propaganda has also led to the highest levels of antisemitism and pure hate directed at Jewish communities everywhere. This was one of the key objectives of Hamas starting this war.
5. 100 Days On Pitting Barbarism Against Civilization
Hamas’s terror attack on Israel was meant to pit Jews against Muslims, Israelis against Arabs. Al-Qaeda, too, claimed to represent Muslims and Palestinians in a wider battle against Jews and Christians after the carnage of 9/11. But like then, the Hamas attack is a watershed moment between civilized peoples and nations everywhere and between barbarism represented by Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and their Khomeinist terror sponsors in Iran. Today they killed Israelis. If they are not neutralized, everyone could be a target tomorrow.
