(Fox News) Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs President Dan Diker and JCPA Fellow Khaled Abu Toameh discussed the Hamas war on Fox News on Friday. Dan Diker: "Israel has announced that it is planning a major ground operation to destroy the Hamas leadership which perpetrated the worst mass murder of women, children, and innocents since the Holocaust." "Israel not only has every right but the responsibility following the Holocaust, when people in Buchenwald said, 'Never again, never again.' This is the next time - the nation-state of the Jewish people is protecting the Jewish people by wiping out ISIS-Hamas in Gaza, which is connected to the attacks on U.S. troops across Syria and Iraq as well." Khaled Abu Toameh: "We are very worried, both Jews and Arabs, because one of the goals of the terrorists - Hamas, Iran - has been to foil normalization between Israel and the Arabs. They are openly stating that 'We invaded Israel, we attacked Israel with the declared goal of preventing Arabs from making peace with Israel.' That's why we are trying to prevent that from happening. We can't let the terrorists win. We want to show them that despite the carnage, despite the massacres that they committed, and although they are supported by Iran, Jews and Arabs are determined to move forward." "I feel sorry for Palestinians living in Gaza. I speak to many of them, and they're very angry. They're not only angry at Israel. They know that Hamas dragged them into this war. They are fully aware of what's happening. They're afraid to speak out. That's a problem." Diker: "The Iranian regime has a grand strategy of attacking the United States that they labeled as of 1979 'the Great Satan' and Israel as 'the Little Satan.' This is a total Iranian, full-scale attack on the United States and Israel which has been planned for the last forty years." "The Iranian regime proxy Hamas is on college campuses. When you see these mass protests of thousands yelling 'From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,' that is the same refrain as the Hamas Charter of 1988 that calls for the murder of Jews and the destruction of Israel. It's the same chant on university campuses under Students for Justice in Palestine that you see in the Hamas Charter calling for the genocide against Jews. In fact, the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs has published a report on Hamas on campus - Students for Justice in Palestine Unmasked - in which we reveal to the American people what is going on in this Jihad on American campuses."
