Mashaal's Blind Tunnel Rats



by Dr. Reuven Berko


The horrific spectacle of indictments pinned to blood-stained Gaza walls revealed a fraction of the drama surrounding the execution of some 20 suspected Israeli informants. The charge: "Transferring information to the enemy about the whereabouts of fighters, tunnels, places rigged with explosives, homes of jihadist fighters and places where missiles were stored … signed: The Palestinian resistance." While senior Hamas officials refuse to admit their failures and continue "to exhaust Israel," the letters of indictment instead tell the story of Gaza's demise.

Guards at Ketziot Prison have given accounts of Palestinian prisoners who, after scratching their heads while an Israeli soldier randomly passed by their cells, have been killed by their prison mates for treason. Young Arab women have been murdered by their brothers for dishonoring their family, merely for being suspected of mumbling a few words to a passing man. In a society rife with conspiracy, subsisting in an environment of demoralization and suspicion, everyone is a traitor but also a potential victim.

The West has had many opportunities to understand that Hamas and ISIS are one and the same, but instead buried their heads in the sand. The religious ideology and incendiary rhetoric encouraging killing in the name of Allah and his prophet are evident on every flag and masked executioner. The cars laden with explosives, the mass murders, the attacks on places of worship, restaurants, hotels and other areas where people gather, currently synonymous with ISIS, are methods we saw Hamas using for years.

The international community now understands that Hamas is a deadly mutation of the same Islamic ideology from the school of the Muslim Brotherhood, just like ISIS. This realization formed when the Yazidis and Christians were killed wholesale in Iraq, and only crystallized when the hooded Hamas hangmen brutally murdered those suspected of collaborating with Israel.

It was the fact that these executions occurred at virtually the same time and where horrifyingly similar to the beheading of American journalist James Foley that drove home the blood-chilling similarity, not the campaign of terror Hamas has waged against Israel for years. The illusion of a "political Islam," whereby "Islam is a religion of peace," is slowly unraveling. Everyone understands that the religious messages ("dawa" in Arabic) eschewed by the leaders of the "Muslim Brotherhood" -- to destroy the infidel and impose Islam on the world -- serve as the doctrinal foundation molding the operational path for Islamic terror movements around the world.

Hamas, meanwhile, emphasizes it is part of the Muslim Brotherhood movement and global jihad, and that the Jews and Christians are the enemies of Islam, against which they are waging an imperialistic crusade of infidels. According to its charter, Hamas is part of the "Islamic Brigades" that will facilitate the creation of an eternal Islamic state and destroy every last Jew as required by the Prophet Muhammad's vision. These "political" messages are a guide for murdering "infidels," among them the Jews, Christians, Yazidis, Shiites, and others like them. While Hamas refuses to relinquish its weapons for destroying the Jewish people, its senior leadership has vowed that it "will try in the future and will warn" Israelis before shooting at them.

Hamas now hopes its detested rival, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, will extricate it from the flames of the Israeli cauldron threatening to engulf it. In this regard, the "treasonous president" is supposed to sue Israel at the International Criminal Court at The Hague and try to persuade the world and Egypt, which is also its enemy, to impose a lasting cease-fire.

We essentially have a Hamas that wants to commit genocide against the Jews, wants the crusading West of "infidels" to try the Jews for genocide at The Hague, and in its own twisted way is also projecting signs of surrender. As evidenced by the absurd comments, the masked men hiding in dark tunnels are struggling to see their own defeat, which we should continue to help them see.
