Free Gaza from Hamas



Since the year 2007 the terrorist organization Hamas has ruled Gaza with an iron fist, and they clearly illustrated that they are the greatest enemy to the safety and liberty of the people of Gaza.  Hamas defector Mosab Hassan Yousef witnessed the true depravity of Hamas during the Second Intifada.  During that time, Hamas took millions of dollars from the Arab world and stole aid money sent by Western nations and used it to launch continuous attacks against Israelis.  Even worse, Hamas would deliberately stir up Palestinians to launch riotous attacks and then use unarmed Palestinians, even women and children, as human shields while they launched armed attacks. In truth, we are witnessing the exact same pattern unfolding in Gaza, with Hamas once again disrupting aid to further their agenda and using human shields to win the battle of propaganda. 


In May of this year, Palestinian rioters, under direction from Hamas, attacked the Keren Shalom Border Crossing on three occasions, deliberately wrecking the only source of gas and fuel for the people of Hamas.  What was to gain from this?  Such a move would do nothing to halt or even slow down any Israeli military action.  It was simply an insane command given by an enemy who is willing to destroy the very foundations of life for their own people in exchange for any far-off chance of bringing about the eventual annihilation of the Jewish State of Israel.  

Hamas Prepares to Execute Opponents

The tragic reality is that even as Israel fights to defend themselves from Hamas attacks, they also fight to try to help the people of Gaza.  The IDF continually strived to keep the Keren Shalom Crossing open so the people of Gaza could obtain necessary supplies.  In truth, Israel shows more concern for the people of Gaza than Hamas, yet Hamas takes advantage of this compassion to carry out vicious actions against the Israelis.  When Israel allowed water pipes to be brought in to help improve Gaza’s sanitation system, Hamas turned them into rockets.  When Israel permitted sick Gazans to come into Israel for medical treatment, Hamas uses them to smuggle funds and weapons to terror cells.  For far too long the world has turned a blind eye to the evil tactics of Hamas, and this must come to an end.  Call on our Congress to support the “Hamas Human Shields Prevention Act” (HR 3542) that will officially sanction Hamas for their crime of using their own people as human shields.  Urge that our government take this sanction to the United Nations, who has yet to issue a single Resolution against Hamas while issuing over 600 against Israel.  The UN’s silence on the atrocities committed by Hamas is nothing but compliance, and it’s time that this compliance is brought to an end.
