Few Innocent Civilians in Gaza
(Israel Hayom) Nadav Shragai - The Gazans are not unfortunate and pitiful victims of war who need to be rescued from the ruins and given hope and a future elsewhere. The Trump packaging rehabilitates the Gazans. It is misleading and wrong, as we're not talking about a few bad apples, but rather a population that either is Hamas or supports Hamas, deeply involved in the massacre, kidnappings and cult of "martyrs," death and murder. This population is the breeding ground of an organization that calls in its charter for Israel's destruction - a population that already in 2006 brought Hamas to power through democratic elections by majority vote. Tens of thousands of Gazans took part in tunneling Gaza and kept its secrets. Tens of thousands earned their living from the smuggling industry and Gaza weapons production. Tens of thousands participated in the "March of Return" - terror marches along the fence that included attempted breaches into Israel, throwing explosive devices and firebombs, and launching incendiary kites that set our fields ablaze. Thousands of "uninvolved" Gazans also participated in the Oct. 7 massacre itself - including elderly leaning on canes and youth in sandals, who came to join in rape, looting, murder, and kidnapping. Some bodies or body parts were taken by the "uninvolved" to trade or sell. These "uninvolved" individuals danced in a frenzy around pickup trucks carrying kidnapped children, women, elderly, and young men, shouting "death to the Jews," and helped Hamas hide them. The "uninvolved" helped Hamas move rockets to hiding places. "Uninvolved" mothers repeatedly declared how proud they were to send their children to battle to become "martyrs." "Uninvolved" teachers taught Gazan children that killing Jews is a religious commandment. "Uninvolved" children, graduates of Hamas terror camps, passed messages, and even weapons and ammunition hidden in food baskets, between Hamas positions during the war. The homes of these "unfortunates" concealed shaft openings leading to tunnels, and they hid rockets, rifles, and grenades behind closets, under children's beds, in walls and floors. Returned hostage Mia Shem says, "There isn't one innocent civilian there." Other hostages describe how Gazan children spat on them or offered them food but pulled it away before they could taste it. Gaza is Hamas and Hamas is Gaza.
