Evil

There seems to be no end to the depths of depravity of Hamas, the Palestinian people who support them, and, by extension, those on our campuses who identify with them.

As part of the cease-fire agreement with Israel Hamas returned the bodies last week of four Israelis taken captive on October 7th. Three of the four were the bodies of a mother and her two very young children (the putative mother was actually the corpse of an unknown woman and not the mother of the children). Hamas claimed that the four were killed in an Israeli airstrike, but forensic analysis showed that the two children were strangled to death.

What kind of people do this?

As the caskets were being delivered to the Red Cross for transfer to the Israelis the Palestinians were singing and dancing in the streets in celebration of the dead Israeli children. When the caskets were opened the authorities found propaganda materials that had been placed there by Hamas and other Islamic groups. What kind of people do this?

Despite NPR's absurd claim in this video that both sides were "solemn," the video does more to show the moral difference between Israelis and Palestinian Muslims than any words could do:
On the same day that the bodies were to be returned to Israel bombs went off in three busses in various areas around Israel, and unexploded bombs were found on two other busses.

The carnage would've been unimaginable had the bombs detonated when they were supposed to, but they apparently were not set correctly. Israelis believe they were supposed to go off at 9:00 a.m. when the busses would've been fully occupied with commuters, but the devices were mistakenly set to explode at 9:00 p.m. when the vehicles were sitting empty.

Were it not for this act of incompetence perhaps hundreds of civilians would've been slaughtered or maimed. A West Bank branch of Hamas has taken responsibility for the bombs. What kind of people do this?

Meanwhile, on the 13th of this month Muslim terrorists in the Democratic Republic of Congo captured and beheaded seventy Christians:
Seventy Christians have been found beheaded in a church in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), in what’s the latest devastating attack on believers in the north east of the country.

According to field sources, at around 4am last Thursday (13 February) suspected militants from the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) – a group with ties to so-called Islamic State (IS) – approached homes in Mayba in the territory of Lubero, saying: “Get out, get out and don’t make any noise.” Twenty Christian men and women came out and were captured.

Shaken by this incident, people from the local community in Mayba later gathered to work out how to release those held captive. However, ADF militants surrounded the village and captured a further 50 believers.

All 70 of those kidnapped were taken to a Protestant church in Kasanga where they were tragically killed.
A local church leader said that, “We don’t know what to do or how to pray; we’ve had enough of massacres. May God’s will alone be done.”

What kind of a religion is it that encourages and justifies such horrific acts of cruelty against Jews and Christians almost everywnere that Islam has influence? What kind of religion is it that motivates people to slaughter innocent people, film it, and brag about it to their mothers as Palestinians did on Oct. 7th? What kind of religion is it that motivates people to drive trucks and vans into crowds to try to kill as many people as they can?
