“Israel will rise and will remain erect until Islam eliminates it as it had eliminated its predecessors,” the Hamas Charter proclaims.
Like Tehran, Hamas is not coy about its genocidal goals.
Nor did she touch upon the fact that Tehran funds, arms and instructs both Hezbollah in Lebanon, which has roughly 150,000 missiles aimed at Israelis, and Hamas, which fired more than 4,000 missiles at Israeli civilians last May. How did he respond when NBC’s Andrea Mitchell, in a subsequent interview, grilled him about this genocidal threat? Sorry, that was a trick question. Its nuclear weapons development program is the means envisioned to realize that goal. He utilized both new and old slanders, saying he was “honored to announce that my nation’s willpower is dedicated to the total elimination of all forms of racial discrimination, including apartheid and Zionism.” In other words, Tehran’s goal is the “elimination” of Israel. General Assembly was in session last week, too, and among those speaking was the newly appointed foreign minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Hossein Amir Abdollahian. Many of the nations that did attend are egregious abusers of fundamental human rights. Three dozen nations boycotted rather than participated in one more festival of Israel-bashing and anti-Semitism. Last week, the United Nations sponsored another Durban conference. And, as anyone who has walked down a street in Jerusalem knows, Israelis come in all colors, including black Jews from Africa and brown Jews from India and Pakistan. Zionism implies nothing more than the right of the Jewish people to self-determination in part of their ancient homeland. Repealed overwhelmingly in 1991, it was revived at a U.N. Returning to the apartheid slander: It’s a twist on the “Zionism is racism” resolution first promulgated by Israel-haters at the United Nations General Assembly in 1975. They’d counterattack hard and fast, which would make it difficult to minimize civilian casualties to the extraordinary extent Israelis have managed in past conflicts.Īnd since Hamas routinely employs Palestinians as human shields-an egregious violation of American and international law but beneficial for its public relations efforts-Gaza would soon resemble Syria, Yemen and Libya (countries from which, incidentally, millennia-old Jewish communities have been “cleansed”). The Iron Dome saves the lives of Gazans, too, because, without this missile defense system, Israelis would not sit quietly as Hamas, which rules Gaza, rained death on them.
In other words, Israel is not an apartheid state, although that’s the slander you now incessantly hear from the Squad and others intent on demonizing, delegitimizing, and, ultimately, destroying Israel.
