The usual fuzzy-headed leftist types are trying to argue for a false moral equivalence between Benjamin Netanyahu, the elected Likud leader of Israel that leftists hate because he’s friendly with Republicans and thwarted Obama’s attempts to defeat him, and Hamas, a designated terrorist organization. Never mind that Netanyahu has never celebrated beheading babies.
Since this moral idiocy pops up time and time again, let us once again explicate the obvious: Hamas isn’t just in favor of “liberating Palestine” (i.e., destroying the state of Israel), or even simply of slaughtering every Israeli. Hamas, by charter, deed, and statement, explicitly seeks the death of all Jews on earth.
First, lets look at the Hamas’ original 1988 charter, which makes no secret of it’s goal of worldwide genocide against the Jews.
This Covenant of the Islamic Resistance Movement (HAMAS), clarifies its picture, reveals its identity, outlines its stand, explains its aims, speaks about its hopes, and calls for its support, adoption and joining its ranks. Our struggle against the Jews is very great and very serious. It needs all sincere efforts. It is a step that inevitably should be followed by other steps. The Movement is but one squadron that should be supported by more and more squadrons from this vast Arab and Islamic world, until the enemy is vanquished and Allah’s victory is realised.
The struggle is not against Israelis or “Zionists,” it’s against Jews.
“The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (evidently a certain kind of tree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews.” (related by al-Bukhari and Moslem).
Note that those trees crying out for Jews to be killed are not limited to Palestine.
Israel, Judaism and Jews challenge Islam and the Moslem people. “May the cowards never sleep.”
The Islamic Resistance Movement consider itself to be the spearhead of the circle of struggle with world Zionism and a step on the road. The Movement adds its efforts to the efforts of all those who are active in the Palestinian arena. Arab and Islamic Peoples should augment by further steps on their part; Islamic groupings all over the Arab world should also do the same, since all of these are the best-equipped for the future role in the fight with the warmongering Jews.
Etc.
Hamas revised their charter in 2016 to cut down on the Jew hatred, but the die was already cast, and taqiyya (deception) is not just allowed in Islamic doctrine, but is obligatory in the struggle of jihad against Dar al Harb (i.e., the House of War against non-Muslims).
How about Fathi Hamad, the political leader of Hamas? “Seven million Palestinians outside, enough warming up, you have Jews with you in every place. You should attack every Jew possible in all the world and kill them.”
Or this journalist who interviewed several Hamas officials. “They never refer to Israelis, they always refer to the Jews. Their plan is to kill all the Jews. All the Jews are the ones they want to wipe out.”
Maybe that’s why an Arabic copy of Mein Kampf was found inside a child’s bedroom at a Hamas terror base in Gaza.
Remember, Hamas believes Jews to literally be descended from apes and pigs rather than human beings. Again:
This reclamation of Islamic dignity through the ultimate defeat of the Jews occupies a great deal of Hamas’s political thought, permeates its rhetoric and profoundly shapes its thinking about Israeli Jews and its strategy in facing Israel. Israel is more than a mere occupier or oppressor in this narrative, it is a rebellion against God and the divinely-ordained trajectory of history. And by showing Israelis in their weakness, the thinking goes, Israelis are somehow actually made weak. Redemption requires only the faith of its believers to be fulfilled, and seeing is believing.
The footage from Saturday, the snuff videos shared gleefully by Hamas supporters, including in some Western far-left circles, weren’t an aberration. Hamas gunmen didn’t get “carried away,” as some explained. They were the essence of the whole enterprise. They were Hamas’s basic message to Israelis: That they weren’t being killed and kidnapped just for tactical advantage in the struggle for Palestinian independence, but rather were being humiliated and dehumanized as traitors against God.
What other penalty can prescribed for literal treason against the will of God but death?
This is why Hamas and their jihadist fellow-travelers believe that every Jew everywhere must be exterminated.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking they’re going to stop with the Jews, either. It’ll be the rest of us, next, followed by their own kind, when they run out of subjects for their little snuff fantasies.
I don’t think the Islamic types ever wonder if maybe it wasn’t Gabriel in that cave, talking to their “prophet”, but perhaps another, fallen, angel…
Kirk is absolutely right. After they finish with us “Saturday people” they’ll be coming after the “Sunday people”, and as we see already, the enmity between Sunnits and Shiites is almost as bad as that between either group and everyone else.
Maybe time to take some direct action here before things get out of hand.
The ultimate goal of Islam is the elimination of all non-Moslems. That includes Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Shinto, any and all not bowing before Allah.
Peaceful co-existence is not a tenant of Islam.
Consider and prepare accordingly. Invest in training and ammunition.

The thing that kills me about the delusions of the elites enabling this is that they think they’re somehow going to escape the consequences for what they’re doing.

Kirk says “The thing that kills me about the delusions of the elites enabling this is that they think they’re somehow going to escape the consequences for what they’re doing.”
They will do what elites have always done in similar circumstances: go along to get along. They’ll “convert.” Won’t mean squat because they don’t believe in anything but themselves, but they will outwardly conform, just like their ancestors pretended to be Christian or Jewish or Hindu.
In most cases that will be enough. They can continue drinking, catting around, and behave in homosexual behavior as long as they do it privately and not in everyone’s face. No “Piss Mohammeds” for them. They will pretend piety and go their own way,

Interesting watching the same people on campus that would discipline or cancel someone for using the wrong pronoun, calling someone by their dead name and generally complaining about being triggered and microaggressions suddenly don’t see anything wrong with pro-Hamas protests and telling Jewish students to use the back door, stay in the dorm, etc. Not to mention the sudden interest in freedom of expression after 20 years of forcing conservative student groups to pay security fees, move off campus and other forms of suppression. The real telling feature of all this is that the students don’t seem to see it — at all.
“Maybe that’s why an Arabic copy of Mein Kampf was found inside a child’s bedroom at a Hamas terror base in Gaza.”
Adolf Hitler served in the German army during WW I. The Germany-Ottoman alliance would have furnished opportunities for Germans and Turks to interact and cooperate. Can the antisemitism of Hitler be traced back to Muslim influence?
The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem was a NAZI sympathizer. Is it possible that Muslim and NAZI are ideological twins? Admittedly, NAZIS were pagans but doesn’t much of Mohamed’s preaching emphasize the mythological, e.g., Mohamed’s flying horse (cf w/ Pegasus)?
The NAZIS emphasized the superiority of Mythos to Logos and also the primacy of Aryans over untermensch. Similarly, Muslims seem to be very
much given over to mysticism and the superiority of Muslims to Jewish “apes and pigs”.
There are striking parallels between NAZIS and Muslims. It comes as no surprise that children in Gaza read Mein Kampf.
It’s pretty well established that Hitler developed his antisemitic ideas following the “stab in the back” of the armistice in 1918 and shortly thereafter from reading antisemitic newspapers like the Volkischer Beobachter, which was already arguing for the complete elimination of the Jews from Germany.
Antisemitism has a long, long history in Germany, back at least as far as Martin Luther (who was pissed they wouldn’t convert), if not farther (such as pogroms of Jews across Europe during the Plague).
They blamed the Jews for the various plagues and whatever else bad that happened.
Lots of things can be laid at the door of the early Church, as well. Ban on “usury”? Hire a Jew to do it… Then, when the loans come due, call out the pogrom.
Since the Jews were banned from things like farming and owning land, well… Yeah. Plus, they were mostly all literate during a period when literacy was relatively rare, which made them a natural fit for what passed for “high finance” back then, along with the cosmopolitan nature of the Jewish community… It was easy to transfer money from one Jewish businessman in a community to another one somewhere else. It wasn’t until the Templars that anyone else made that sort of thing possible… Also, a reason why the Templars were victimized by the King of France: He owed them money, big time.
Everybody wants to blame the banker for the financial facts of life, and since the Jews were doing a lot of banking functions as far back as the Roman Empire…? Yeah; they got the hate for it.
I’d guess that a huge component of all the hatred is probably the simple fact that a lot of the nobility got into the habit of cancelling the debts by getting a pogrom going, and killing the people they owed money to…
“Antisemitism has a long, long history in Germany, back at least as far as Martin Luther.”
Antisemitism in “Germany” predates Luther. The seat of the Holy Roman Empire was situated in Germany. Church Father Tertullian published “Against the Jews” in the 3rd Century AD.
Are you suggesting that Mein Kampf appeals to Muslims because Martin Luther issued a polemic against them?! If so, the connection is tenuous. Hitler’s base of operations was Bavaria, a Roman Catholic region.
Hitler’s association with Muslim Turks predates his “stab in the back” utterance. I think you may be confusing cause with effect.
Admittedly, your argument is mainstream; mine is revisionist. I offer it as an alternative explanation to the prevailing orthodoxy.
“I’d guess that a huge component of all the hatred is probably the simple fact that a lot of the nobility got into the habit of cancelling the debts by getting a pogrom going, and killing the people they owed money to…”
This may shed light on the various pogroms targeting the Jews but it is inadequate to explain the demand for Jewish genocide. The deepest and most persistent calls for killing all Jews is rooted in Muslim beliefs. The question remains: how did this doctrine take root in Germany?
Logical extension…?
Look at the way the English expelled all their Jews, who just happened to have lent the Crown and a bunch of their nobility a lot of money… Not a hell of a lot of Islamic influence, there.
Raw fact is, you grow to loathe those you owe money to. Human nature, that… So, it’s not too far a step from “pogrom” to “exterminate”.
One of the other things about Nazism that people either never noticed or bothered to remember is that it was very much a “back to nature” cult. Many of the Nazi “true believers” were atavists that weren’t comfortable in the modern world. They wanted the “simplicity” of the supposed good old days when their ancestors had been “simple yeoman farmers”. That was their plan for all the “Lebansraum” they were going to gain in the Soviet Union; turn all that land into small farm holdings, and forget big business or industry going in there. They actually planned to tear out all the Soviet-built factories and turn everything back to agriculture, with the ethnic Slavs as permanent sub-human serfs…
The Jews were their foe because the Jews were everything that they hated; effective in modern societies and well-educated. Despite the caricatures they used, which were of the “filthy Eastern Jew”, the real enemy was always the competitor, the educated German Jew that did better than they did. Much of which was pure projection on their parts, but… Yeah. It was jealousy and a sense of inferiority that did it. From what I understand, some of the loathing felt by key Nazi figures went back to grade school, high school, and university, where they had been shown up multiple times by Jewish fellow students.
I forget where the hell I read it, but there was a book or a study done by someone that went back and interviewed schoolmates of all the leading figures in Nazidom, and they’d found time and time again where these characters had come out second when competing against another student that was Jewish. Supposedly, Heydrich had lost a girlfriend or something to a guy he thought was Jewish when they were in school together, and that was at the root of his hatred, or something.
I can’t say I was convinced by the work, but it did have some convincingly authoritative details in it. Which, for all I know, could have been made up… But, there ya go: The roots of antisemitism are often at the same time extremely deep, and sadly trivial at the same time. It’s like because there’s this existing infrastructure of hate and prejudice that people can get tipped over the edge into believing and acting on it all. You lose out on one competition to a Jewish peer, and then you (if you’ve the sort of mentality that “goes there”…) start seeing that as part of that “vast Jewish conspiracy” that your crazy Uncle Rob has told you all about…
The genocide had always been there, lurking in the background. I don’t think the Islamic thing was really a big deal, in that regard. You have to remember that if you go back far enough, like to Disraeli’s time as Prime Minister? The vast majority of Europeans distrusted Jews because they were well-treated and high up in the Ottoman Empire. Which was also why the Arabs were pissed at them; they couldn’t get at the Turks, but they could go after their minions, the Jewish figures in the Turkish government in their regions.
Judaism being a victim of Islam vs. being “part of it” is only a late 19th Century thing, in Europe. Before that, they were seen as a potential “Fifth Column” for the Ottomans, which I think may have played into a lot of the angst against the “Invisible Jew” in the Balkans. Swear to God, some of the biggest antisemites I ever ran into in real life were Serbs, and they could never, ever tell me where the f*ck they’d actually run into a Jew, let alone been abused by one. Looking back on it, I have to wonder if Jews weren’t conflated with the Ottomans, and seen as likely agents of said Ottomans, as ludicrous as that may seem from today’s perspective.
“Raw fact is, you grow to loathe those you owe money to. Human nature, that…”
The English killed way more Irishman than Jews. Show me where Cromwell took a loan from the Irish.
“One of the other things about Nazism that people either never noticed or bothered to remember is that it was very much a ‘back to nature’ cult.”
Agreed, der Volk were the first hippies. Such movements are rarely in conflict with the urban Jew. The situation in Russia was much different, where Jew and Gentile alike were made serfs and subject to the depredations of their rulers. Germany shrugged off feudalism long before Russia. At the outbreak of WWI, Jews were living a solidly middle class life. There is no innate conflict between the rural aspiration of der Volk and bourgeois Jews.
“The roots of antisemitism are often at the same time extremely deep, and sadly trivial at the same time.”
You don’t exterminate and entire race because one of them stole your girlfriend.
“Judaism being a victim of Islam vs. being “part of it” is only a late 19th Century thing, in Europe.”
So if 19th Century Europeans sympathized with Jewish victims, what led the to seek their extermination?
