Hamas’ evil lurks beneath the surface

As casualties mount and calls  for a cease-fire grow, the war  in Gaza is probably close to  quitting time. But nobody should be foolish enough to think that silencing the guns will mean a return to the pre-war status quo.

For Israel, a business-as-usual approach is no longer possible. The barrage of Hamas rockets cannot be tolerated again because the weapons’ increased range puts the entire population in harm’s way.

But something else also happened in the last two weeks, and the shock waves are just starting to roll through Israeli society. The discovery of Hamas’ vast tunnel system, which would have allowed thousands of terrorists to cross under the border and emerge inside the Jewish state to carry out surprise attacks, was a wake-up call that is certain to lead to a harder national line against the Palestinians.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu already declared that the threat caused by the tunnels means Israel cannot accept a fully sovereign Palestinian state in the West Bank.

“If we were to pull out of Judea and Samaria, like they tell us to,” he said in speech four days after the war began, “there’d be a possibility of thousands of tunnels” being dug to attack Israel.

Noting that the West Bank is 20 times the size of Gaza, he said his country would never “create ­another 20 Gazas.”

Unless you’re blind, it’s pretty much out there on the surface.

I read that Egypt was flooding the hamass tunnels with sewage. A good idea but I don’t see it stopping hamass. They are nothing but a bunch of sewer rats anyway.

Coming as Islamic radicals gain strength and territory in Syria, Iraq and large parts of North Africa, the revelation that Israel was close to a catastrophe has been deeply unsettling. The prospect of an underground invasion causing mass casualties was not taken seriously before.

Nice to see Michael Goodwin is fully aware of the seriousness of this situation - and that he's spreading the word.

‘Son of Hamas founder tells CNN the true intentions of Hamas’

Son of Hamas founder, Mosab Hassan Yousef, gave a short interview last week to CNN regarding the true intentions of Hamas, explaining that while the destruction of Israel is certainly one of their goals, that a worldwide caliphate is their ultimate goal.
