We Must Never Forget the Evil that Is Hamas

(Telegraph-UK) Danny Cohen - The imminent ceasefire in Gaza is a moment to remind ourselves of the evil and depravity of Hamas and what it is that Israel has been fighting. During their genocidal killing spree on Oct. 7, Hamas seized babies, the disabled, the elderly and Holocaust survivors as hostages. The terrorists paraded bleeding young Jewish women through celebratory crowds in Gaza, they allowed mobs to attack injured captives. Hostages who were released or rescued reported details of how they were tortured, starved and sexually abused. It is important for us all to understand what kind of enemy Israel has been facing and why it is so important that Hamas is destroyed. Yet with a deep perversity, the focus of the world's wrath has been on Israel's response to a mass terrorist attack rather than on those who started the war with acts of utmost barbarity. I have not seen any protests on the streets of London demanding the end of Hamas's control of Gaza. There has been no social media outpouring to condemn a group of violent Islamists who want to destroy their regional neighbor. And beyond the Jewish community there has been little concern for the plight of the hostages. The writer was the director of BBC Television (2013-15).
