A terrorist leader says: Oct. 7 today, Oct. 7 tomorrow, Oct. 7 forever.

WSJ Editorial Board
Hamas has two messages for two different audiences. To the international community, it pleads for a cease-fire on humanitarian grounds. To the Arab world, it pledges to repeat its Oct. 7 attacks and sacrifice as many Palestinians as it takes to destroy Israel.

That was the message of Ghazi Hamad, a member of the Hamas Politburo, in an Oct. 24 interview on Lebanese television. “We must teach Israel a lesson,” he says, “and we will do this again and again. The Al Aqsa Flood”—the name Hamas gave its Oct. 7 operation to slaughter defenseless Israelis—“is just the first time, and there will be a second, a third, a fourth,” he says, as translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute.

That’s what a cease-fire means to Hamas: a chance to repeat Oct. 7 another day. The similar idea of a “humanitarian pause,” gaining steam on the Western left, is to Hamas merely an opportunity to reload. There is nothing humane about pressuring Israel to leave a genocidal enemy in power on its border.

“Will we have to pay a price?” Mr. Hamad continues, referencing Hamas’s plan for endless invasions of Israel. “Yes, and we are ready to pay it. We are called a nation of martyrs, and we are proud to sacrifice martyrs.”

Hamas isn’t ashamed to announce its intent to sacrifice Gazans to kill Jews—at least to receptive audiences. A poll published Monday in Beirut’s Al Akhbar newspaper reported that 80% of Lebanese respondents supported Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack. In another Arabic-language interview, on Oct. 19, Hamas leader Khaled Mashal argued that “nations are not easily liberated,” noting that it sometimes has required the deaths of millions of people. He figures he’s the man for the job.

Given how cheap Hamas holds Palestinian lives, it is no surprise that the terrorist group is shameless about murdering Israelis. Mr. Hamad, on Lebanese TV, says, “We are the victims of the occupation, period. Therefore, nobody should blame us for the things we do. On Oct. 7, on Oct. 10, on October one-millionth, everything we do is justified.”

That’s also the radical-chic view on U.S. campuses: “Resistance by any means necessary”—don’t think, parrot Hamas propaganda.

Hamas promises more massacres in Arabic while asking for a humanitarian reprieve in English. It knows from experience that some Westerners are gullible enough to fall for it.

It's an upside down world.

This is what the Left wants, and look at what they do.

Eh…………….seems to me that “traditional” and/or the “majority” of liberals/Democrats are doing very little, if anything, to quiet the rhetoric and pure evil of their growing extremist faction.

Same chit happening on the other side of the aisle I might add, and recently, with comedic absurdity.

It’s just a chit show all around.

I think you are outnumbered Robert.
The "vast majority of liberals" as you call lefties are predictably silent in their support of revolutionary Jacobin rhetoric and tactics abroad or at home.
And it's true that there are revolutionaries on the other side of the aisle that label themselves as conservatives which is the farthest thing from the truth.

Insightful articles.

"Many of us at Tablet believed strongly, and still believe, in the possibility of creating a better world. But something bothered us from the very beginning about these ideas, and the people pushing them. Every time we pressed on one of the newly mass-embraced policy proposals or narratives—intersectionality, decolonization studies, the Iran nuclear deal, Russiagate, Black Lives Matter, the Women’s March, critical race theory, COVID lockdowns—a weird thing would happen: The idea itself fell apart at the seams within seconds of contact with reality, and yet its defenders got more sure of themselves, more performatively boastful, more passionate and gleeful about smearing anyone who dared to question them.

The more we listened to freshly minted universal experts, the more we were struck by the increasing lunacy of their pronouncements on every topic under the sun, always backed by “studies” and “science”—where COVID-19 came from, how many genders there are, which skin tones and personal experiences qualify a person for protection status and which do not, whether it was OK for a Syrian dictator to bomb and gas 500,000 of his people, whether the U.S. should ally itself with a Holocaust-denying medieval theocracy, whether the president of the United States was secretly a Russian agent, whether large American cities should let drug addicts and violent schizophrenics get high on the streets and steal stuff—and more. Indeed, over time, we were struck by how little the ideas themselves seemed to matter; what so many people seemed most attached to was power."

Hamas is trying to play "just the tip" or "hide the helmet" with everyone. If allowed, if they're granted access, they're surely gonna **** everyone.

^ Yes, interesting reading DMV.

That bit about "prominent feminist scholar Judith Butler, who in 2006 proclaimed at the University of California, Berkeley, that “understanding Hamas [and] Hezbollah as social movements that are progressive, that are on the left, that are part of a global left, is extremely important.” was very telling, a true window into the mind of progressivism.
Their minds will support terrorism and barbarism if only in spirit, they'll support it physically, socially and economically because what their collectivist minds are most attached to above all is gaining power.

Anyone care to guess how that reconciles with believers of Islam that chant every day "Death To America and Death To Israel"?

PS: They stone women for not adhering to face coverings and toss the LGTBQ off the top of tall buildings.

That is what I find soooooooo fuqin funny.
The LGBTQ crowd chanting chit and denouncing Israel, defending Hamas, etc.
It shows just how clueless they are……

Hamas leadership must chuckle themselves to sleep at night, watching our LGBTQ Libtards pushing Islamic rhetoric.
Probably nothing better than having someone you HATE, work hard for you, for free.
Winning!!!

Islam:

Al Taqiyya: "In Islam, Taqiya or Taqiyya is a precautionary dissimulation or denial of religious belief and practice. Generally, taqiya is the action of committing a sinful act for a pious goal." In other words, "the ends justify the means."

Judaism:

"In very rare instances we recommend that one violate the laws of the Torah based on a different principle...which is referred to as chatei bishvil shetizke, roughly translated as, “the ends justify the means""

That's why they will say anything.

It's why the far right supports them. They share the same belief.

Evangelicals:

Call it "Divine Providence". Essentially a doctrine that supports "the ends justify the means".

Don't you guys remember reading about the Crusades in history class? Or how about "how the (U.S.) West was won" in Civics? This isn't really new. People have been killing each other in the name of God for thousands of years.

Think of it in terms of a big college football rivalry, Michigan vs Ohio State. Traditionally good teams, that for sure hate each other, and the fanatics (fans) hate each other too... Personally I don't have a vested interest in either team really. I don't want to see anybody get injured though.
