Soon we will hear calls that the time has come for negotiations between Israel and Hamas and that the war needs to end before the complete destruction of Hamas has been accomplished.
When that happens, we need to remind ourselves of the Hamas Covenant, the terror group’s charter:
Article 7: “The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.”
Article 8: Allah is its target, the Prophet is its model, the Koran its constitution: Jihad is its path and death for the sake of Allah is the loftiest of its wishes.
Article 13: There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors.
Article 15: “I swear by the holder of Mohammed’s soul that I would like to invade and be killed for the sake of Allah, then invade and be killed, and then invade again and be killed.”
Hamas itself has told us black on white that it will never negotiate in good faith and that its goal is to kill Jews.
We stand with our friends and family in Israel against those who burn and behead babies and who would start another Holocaust.
