“Hamas is coming”? No, Hamas is here
“Hamas is coming, We are Hamas” were the words chanted by crowds that moved through Washington D.C, defiling statutes with pro-terrorist graffiti and assaulting police officers, as they tore down the American flag outside of iconic Union Station and replaced it with a Palestinian one. It is a scene and a slogan that has been repeated multiple times in cities and on college campuses since 7 October 2023, when Israel was viciously and savagely attacked by Hamas and their supporters. Unspeakable atrocities were committed on mostly civilians, including the elderly, children and infants. Among the atrocities were beheadings, killing women, children and non-combatants, mutilations, rape, torture and burning people alive.
Some 1200 individuals were killed, 4200 wounded and 251 taken hostage. Those held illegally by Hamas come from 24 different countries, including 8 citizens from the United States.
To add insult to injury, university and college students, faculty, professors, administrators, outside agitators and activists took to the streets and to our educational institutions in support of the Palestinians, Hamas, and antisemitism.
They scream, “Hamas is coming,” “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” “Death to Israel, Death to America”, “End the occupation now” and “Ceasefire now,” among many other equally ridiculous chants. Most of these “useful idiots” (a term coined by Lenin) cannot name the river or the sea, that being the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. Nor do they realize that Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip in 2005 after winning the territory from Egypt in the Six-Day war in 1967. In 2006, Hamas won a Palestinian election and in 2007, seized control of Gaza in a civil war. So, since 2005, Israel has not “occupied” the Gaza Strip.
Nor are they correct to say that “Hamas is coming.” No Hamas is already here and has been for decades.
Hamas, founded in 1988, well before most of the pro-Hamas, pro-Palestine “resistance” protestors were born, is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Article two of the Hamas Charter states: “The Islamic Resistance Movement is one of the wings of the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine.” Hamas’s name is an acronym for “Islamic Resistance Movement” in Arabic. Hence why signs and banners at pro-Hamas, pro-Palestine rallies carry the “resistance” moniker.
Article eight is taken from the Muslim Brotherhood charter: “Allah is its target, the Prophet (Muhammad) is it model, the Koran its constitution: Jihad is its path and death for the sake of Allah is the loftiest of its wishes.”
The Muslim Brotherhood, founded in 1928 in Egypt is an Islamist renewal movement with the ultimate goal of establishing a global caliphate and the imposition of Sharia law, not just for Gaza, or “Palestine” but over the whole world.
As part of that effort, members of the Muslim Brotherhood settled in every country, including the United States, taking with them their commitment to Sharia and their hostility to the West.
In 1991, Mohammad Akram, the Secretary of the Executive Office of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood explained that commitment in a document entitled “An Explanatory Memorandum: On the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America” where he wrote:
“The process of settlement is a ‘Civilization-Jihadist Process’ with all the word means. The Ikhwan (Muslin Brotherhood) must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers (Muslims) so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.” (author’s parentheticals)
We know this because Akram’s words were revealed in documents seized during the Holy Land Foundation case, a federal terrorism finance trial where prosecutors conclusively documented how elements of the Muslim Brotherhood operated as part of the Hamas terrorism finance network. Part of that effort has been an extensive campaign of propaganda an influence intended to promote and normalize Hamas.
On October 8, 1997, the United States government designated Hamas a Foreign Terrorist Organization. The Muslim Brotherhood is a designated terrorist group in Bahrain, Egypt, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Syria and the United Arab Emirates, but not in the United States.
The jihad the Muslim Brotherhood calls for is the same one which motivates Hamas’ genocidal war against Israel.
The Hamas charter declares: “Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.”
Article seven of the Hamas Charter states: “The Day of Judgment 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 Abdullah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.”
Article Thirteen addresses “Peaceful Solutions, Initiatives and International Conferences:”
Initiatives, and so-called peaceful solutions and international conferences, are in contradiction to the principles of the Islamic Resistance Movement…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.
Golda Meir, Israeli Prime Minister from 1969-1974, stated: “You cannot negotiate peace with someone who has come to kill you.”
The late Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi not only congratulated the jihad groups (Hamas and Palestine Islamic Jihad) for the attacks on October 7, 2023, but also encouraged “Hamas to continue its campaign until the destruction of Israel is achieved.”
On 26 April 2024, Tehran University Professor Foad Izadi, considered one of Iran’s main experts on the U.S. and a mouthpiece for the Iranian regime, stated on Ofogh TV (Iran):
We are watching the demonstrations, and we like what we see, but it should not end with this. . .These protestors are our people and will support Iran in an Iran-U.S. confrontation. . . America is the Great Satan and our enemy, but we have hope in these areas.
The Director of National Intelligence recently announced that Iranian intelligence was believed to be involved helping to organize and promoting pro-Hamas rallies and financially supporting protestors.
So the question must be asked, are these useful idiots who call for “death to America, death to Israel,” declare “We are Hamas,” and carry foreign terrorist flags and banners being groomed for America’s future terrorists and/or national security threats?
Hopefully these pro-Hamas activists, especially those in colleges and universities, might learn something from about the genocidal and bloodthirsty fanatics they are supporting, and come to see they’ve been led astray.
But in some cases such protestors may be investigated for potentially providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization, a federal offense under 18 USC 2339A and B, or state equivalents.
