Inchoate Death Rage
"[Statements that Hamas was employing] peaceful resistance [against Israel represents] a clear terminological deception."
"When you have weapons that are being wielded by men who were able to prevent the strongest army in the region from entering the Gaza strip for 51 days, and were able to capture or kill soldiers of that army — is this really ‘peaceful resistance?"
"When we talk about ‘peaceful resistance,’ we are deceiving the public. This is peaceful resistance bolstered by a military force and by security agencies, and enjoying tremendous popular support."
Hamas co-founder Mahmoud al-Zahhar
"Our people and our boys will surprise the entire world with what they have in store."The United States Congress passed the Jerusalem Embassy Act in 1995, recognizing Jerusalem formally and legally as the capital of Israel. It also called for Jerusalem to remain undivided. Ever since, successive American presidents have duly pledged full implementation on their watch of this law, that would lead to the relocation of the American Embassy currently in Tel Aviv, to Jerusalem. And each president since then, has made use of a mechanism for procedural delay, choosing to waive a final decision every six months, in preference to committing themselves to the Act.
"Let them wait for our big push. We will take down the border and we will tear out their hearts from their bodies."

Until now, that is. When, yesterday, American legislators and Israelis met together in a triumph of achievement in finally, under the current Trump administration, recognizing for fact what is a reality, that Jerusalem is indeed the capital of the State of Israel. The announcement of the intended move made back in January of this year, brought universal scathing censure down on the United States. From the United Nations to the European Union, African nations and Asian, the rote response was the final designation would only be legalized when a peace agreement was reached between Israel and the Palestinians.
The Palestinians have made that impossible, refusing one peace offer after another, unremittingly. The secret agenda, boldly stated in Arabic, covertly made evident to those supporting the Palestinians' aspiration to destroy the Jewish state by 'right of return' or outright conflict, or a combination of all, aligned with manipulating the membership of the United Nations with the influence of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to malign and slander and deprive Israel of legitimacy, leading to its delegitimization.
With the formal ceremony taking place on Monday of the opening of the new American Embassy in Jerusalem, Hamas orchestrated yet another massive 'peaceful protest' against Jerusalem falling to its original state as capital of Judea. Al Quds (Arabic for Jerusalem) was never in Jewish hands, claim the Arabs, and is Islam's alone. Hamas has convinced Gaza's Palestinian youth that their mission in life is to sacrifice themselves in a mass effort to cross from Gaza into Israel to pave the way for Palestinians to 'return' to the land they lost to 'colonialist' Jews.
The scheme is a tired one, to claim that Palestinians were forced from their land by incoming Jews when for most of the Palestinians who fled in 1948 after David Ben Gurion, Israel's first prime minister, announced the formation of the Jewish State did so on the advice of an invading force comprised of Israel's Arab neighbours who attacked the nascent state with the intention of destroying it, wracking up their first failed conflict with Israel.
But truth and reality have no place in the Palestinian narrative that insists Jews have no heritage in the Middle East, much less in Jerusalem. Their claims validated by UNESCO, which has given heritage status of religious-cultural-heritage ancient Judaic sites to the Palestinians who never existed in the geography in question, the original Palestinians being the Jews, not Arabs. Now Palestinians ardently proving t heir loyalty to the viral hostility they have been imbued with since childhood challenge the Israel Defence Forces protecting Israel's border from Palestinian incursion.
Ensuing deaths and casualties of Palestinians defying IDF orders to refrain from approaching the separating border fence, much less crossing it, plays right to Hamas's playbook. The violence provoking the Israeli military response overlooked by an international community which never has to face the vicious violence Israel's Jewish communities fear, condemn Israel for its 'disproportionate' response to 'peaceful' demonstrations. Behind the spontaneity of the burning tires, slingshots and Molotov-cocktail-carrying kites there are Hamas operatives attempting to breach the border.
What would those countries condemning Israel's response in view of past incursions ending with the death of Israelis, do themselves to protect their populations from threats of violence carried out with the barbaric zeal of collective psychopaths?
