Hamas Mega-Attack Planned through Gaza Terror Tunnels

Since when is violence against Jews politically correct? For that matter, since when is Anti-Semitism political correct? Europe is back where it was in the 1920. Europeans are still the majority. They should go to the streets and stand by their fellow citizens (the Jews). History always repeats itself. The day will come when the Europeans will live to miss the Jews, but this time it will be too late. The Jews are not comin back. Thanks God for ISRAEL. "When will they ever learn?" Hanna.

One notices that much of the media never highlights any of this type of Hamas activity to the extent that it needs, to be balanced in reporting. Which of course highlights the huge bias against the truth, and against Israel.

For years the energy of Hamas has been to teach hate rather than peace - to create another holocaust - to use civilians as weapons - the UN has sadly supported this strategy - the world is not looking clearly at the current nightmare. We all need to speak up - speak out - educate with truth rather than perpetuating lies.

A friend of mine and I were talking about how blind people are concerning the real situation between Israel and 'Palestinians'.
Either politicians are blind and easily misled by such circus acts and intentional propaganda tricks like misuse of words like Holocaust that the PA use to describe Israel's forewarned offensives to avoid civilian casualties, or the absolute worst example of that Israel is 'Apartheid', when in reality many of the Arab countries would suit that description much better having ousted hundreds of thousands of Jewry from their countries with only the shirts on their backs just before the 67' war. The idea back then was the same as now; assemble all the Jews in Israel so we can slaughter them all, as one of your earlier articles also exposed a top PA official as saying!

Now with this revelation of massive tunnel networks built in concrete to store weapons/bombs to kill civilians, being completely silent where I live in Sweden! Nothing's changed. Don't we get it yet? Islams agenda is the death of Israel, and world subjugation as they preach daily.
The question is is it blindness or an agenda by the EU or UN to really just support terrorism, murderers of the Islamic fundamentalists. Is there a political hatred for the Jews in the West? It certainly seems the latter, when all the EU and UN can talk about is sanctioning Israel the whole time!!!

For the life of me I can't figure our how the U.S. and President Obama (the country of my first citizenship) can't see the difference between: people who shoot guns in the air in jubilation when 9/11 occurred, celebrate when the 3 Israeli teens were horribly murdered, drag bodies behind pick-up trucks for suspected sympathizers of Israel; and Israel that puts behind bars corrupt politicians and will give lengthy jail terms to the Jewish radicals that horribly murdered the Arab youth and warns civilians before they come in with military.

Hamas uses hospitals to hide weapons and ambulances to transport them. Then they use men, women and children to hide behind. They are past despicable!
As a Christian believer, I pray for Israel every day! I also pray for 'Palestinians', Arabs, the whole lot! But we aren't blind to the severity of lack of ability of so-called leaders the world over to differentiate between what radical Islam is doing and what Israel has to put up with on a daily basis.

I cannot think of a better comparison between the prime ministers grave mistake with Hitler before the outbreak of WW2 and indeed the naive stance of the US in isolation thinking was the answer.
Now, staring right at it, the leaders are looking past just and wise ways of thinking: How can this be?

If I were president I'd stop giving money to the PA totally and boycott the EU. Stop funding corrupt governments! Stand with Israel and support their efforts to stop Hamas and Isis. Pretty soon it'll be too late and a major war may just break out by the looks of what they've found in the tunnels. Maybe that's what they really want to reduce the worlds population and genetic entropy like Hitlers Germany.

If its not, Western leaders are truly living in their own tunnels complete with tunnel vision and a blindness to the light of truth. I think Wisdom is lost on our generation (almost).

Thanks for your very keen and insightful articles Gatestone!

Even though I am not of that persuasion, as it was said in my mothers day; I am here to offer prayers and support for all in Israel. I would love to Hamas and ISIS and a few other collections leave this earth. The Islamic terrorists have been at the act for many thousands of years, killing, stealing, looting and other foul acts. It is time to take their toys away and make them repay for all the damage from the last 2000+ years.

Hamas have as the article says been preparing for this for years. Yet now they ignore the tunnelling and the barrage of rocket fire and bleat only about Israeli aggression. They hide behind a human shield of women and children (extremely brave of them)and then claim Israel is killing those same women and children. They claim to want a cease fire and a negotiated settlement, but there is one absolutely crucial question that Hamas must answer. How is it at all possible to negotiate anything at all with an adversary who refuses to recognise your right to exist? What possible settlement can come out of that basic premise? Hamas not only refuses to recognise Israel's existence but it's very right to exist at all. Solomon couldn't negotiate with these terrorists.

Why doesn't Israel flood the tunnels with water?

Hamas leaders should be rounded up, marched into a tunnel and then have the tunnel sealed up permanently.

Worrying times for Israel. Obama is beginning to show his true colours. Casually forgetting the destruction and death going on in Iraq and Afghanistan, he is now as expected telling Israel, it is OK to defend yourself as long as no one is killed. Noble sentiments. However, reports from the BBC and other Israeli soldiers say this:

Israel says its military offensive in Gaza targets militants from the Palestinian movement, Hamas. Yet for the most part the Islamist fighters remain shadowy figures during this latest conflict.
In northern Gaza last week, heavy exchanges of gunfire with advancing Israeli ground troops suggested the presence of militants nearby.
However, it was only during Sunday's bloody scenes in Shejaiya, north-east of Gaza City, that journalists saw masked men hurrying down the streets and talking furtively into walkie-talkies on street corners.
The military wing of Hamas, communicates its messages through a spokesman Abu Obeida, who appears on Hamas-run, al-Aqsa television, at intervals to deliver pre-recorded messages with his face wrapped in a kefiya scarf.
At other times, the TV channel airs details of the latest Israeli attacks and graphic images of the dead, interspersed with propaganda videos showing militants during training exercises, rockets being fired, a new Gaza-made drone and concrete-reinforced tunnels.
There have been occasional televised statements by the former Hamas Prime Minister, Ismail Haniyeh, but most of the Islamist group's officials have gone to ground during this conflict. Their houses tend to be empty when they are targeted by Israeli air strikes.
The only place where we have been able to approach Hamas spokesmen is at the Shifa Hospital in Gaza City where they make periodic appearances.

Will there be any truce? It could be temporary. Could the UN and donor countries stop wasting taxpayer money being sent to Hamas? These donations do not get to the people who need them desperately. Hamas should be humane enough to let the people live by using the money given to them be spent on what it is meant for: taking care of the people of Gaza and more.

If you don't stop Hamas and all the terrorists, we will never rid ourselves of this vermin in our lives. Even the Arab league knows that we should rid ourselves of this horror show.

I hope Israel does not bow to public opinion & keeps pursuing and pounding Hamas fighters & Hamas leaders.

Furthermore, it's high time that Israel reoccupies all of Gaza and makes it a part of Israel permanently.

Since the signing of the Oslo Accords, over & over again, the Palestinians have shown their inability to not just govern themselves, but live by some even limited standards of life other than Jihad. Their cries of "peace for Palestine" or "Israeli genocide against the Palestinians" is nothing but a sham & a farce.

What a blessing in disguise was the despicable kidnapping and murder of the 3 Israeli teenagers (each with 10 bullets in his body) by Arabs disguised as orthodox Jews --- this crime so enraged the Israeli citizenry and the government that finally, after years of torment, it was decided to take action against the Hamas aggression.

Two weeks of bombing was not able to stop the hail of rockets pounding into Israel, so well had the launching pads been concealed, so it was deemed necessary to send in ground troops. At first I was against this, but now I realize it was necessary to discover the perfidy of the meticulously constructed tunnel-system in preparation for the mass attack at Rosh Hashanah, in which hundreds of Muslims, dressed in IDF uniforms, would climb out of the many tunnels and massacre the innocent peace-loving citizens of little towns and kibbutzes near the ends of the tunnels, some of which were 2 1/2 miles long.

I see the hand of God stretched over Israel --- the murder of the three young boys boomeranged and has thwarted the sinister plans of Hamas. The sacrifice of the lives of these three noble boys saved Israel from a diluvial disaster, and Israel now knows the extent of the Hamas insanity and can confront it --- if Israel has enough courage and wisdom to realize that Hamas must MUST be destroyed. No compromise, no cease-fire, just annihilation. Hamas leaders must be captured, hand-cuffed and arrested, put on trial for CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, sentenced to death and executed with TV cameras rolling for all the world to see.

Israel --- you have been mercifully warned --- take up the gauntlet and treat your Hamas enemy like the sub-human vermin they are. Hamas members have renounced the right to be considered human beings, they have been transformed into Satanic beasts and the earth must be cleansed from them. Israel, this is your duty, do not shirk it for some stupid misbegotten consideration for those who wish to kill you.

There is no safety for honest men except believing all possible evil of evil men." (Edmund Burke). Israelis, being civilized, brought up with ethical principles and wanting to love and improve their enemies as well as themselves, cannot fathom the evil in the hearts and minds of people whose conscience has been obliterated by Islam. Israel, your first duty is to protect and further Israel. Take Gaza back. There will never be peace in Israel as long as Gaza is not Israeli. I don't mean Israeli jurisdiction for Gaza --- that was tried and didn't work. I mean Gaza must be an intregal part of Eretz Israel.

This must prove that G-d is with Israel.
Those savages would have murdered hundreds if not thousands of Jews.
But what will the world say?
What will Desmond Tutu say, or Rev Peter Storey, who wrote a letter to the Cape Times referring to "The Zionist Israel".
Time for Israel to let the world know this, as well as the true story of how they had planned to murder every Jew, and create the biggest blood bath ever.
To tell the world the truth of the past history.
And damn those who try to murder Jews again.
We have every right to defend ourselves and fight the murderous Hamas.
G-d is great. Long live Israel.

I mourn all the IDF soldiers who died when they defended Israel and democracy. Hamas sacrifice their own people in their blind hatred of Jews. I hope that Israel can wipe out Hamas in the near future. God bless the IDF.

How did Hamas conceal the use of the cement that was supposed to be used to construct new buildings for Gazans? The volume of concrete used for the tunnels must have been equal to new, multi-story buildings.

The Disengagement gave HAMAS a sanctuary in Gaza. This allowed HAMAS to develop these underground fortified tunnels and build itself into an army. Israel must reverse the Oslo agreements and the disengagement and regain full sovereignty over Gaza, Judea and Samaria. Giving sanctuary to terrorist organizations allows them to grow into strategic threats to Israel and her people.

Of course, as one of the conditions for a truce, Hamas wants to open a port on the coast. Obviously, with all the materiel Hamas has put into building it's tunnel systems, construction in Gaza must be very much below "code" as cement products that were allowed in appear to have all been used to construct the war tunnels - just as the Nazis war-tunneled places like Jersey in the Channel Islands.

With so much envy and hatred towards Israel, whatever it does, you will lose the dirtiest of PR wars anyway. So, at least ensure the survival of your people:

Go in harder.
Take back Gaza
Sack all Knesset members disloyal to Israel.

Use your strength - you will not be thanked for weakening, even for the most noble motives.

Hamas seems to have had a chance to inflict a major (9/11 level event) terror attack on Israel. It seems to have been timed for Rosh Hashana. Yet they launched an ill conceived missile barrage that has undermined the whole operation. Does this signify a division in Hamas leadership.

"Too long have I lived among those who hate peace. I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war." (Psalm 120:6-7) NIV

Perhaps the following excerpts will give the world a better understanding of which side is the one not willing to have peace with the other:

The Hamas Covenant of 1988 reflects their ideology and pretty much speaks for itself, as follows: (excerpts)

Preamble (excerpt):
"Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it" (The Martyr, Imam Hassan al-Banna, of blessed memory)."

Introduction (excerpt): "...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."

Article 8: "Allah is its target, the Prophet is its model, the Koran its constitution: Jihad is its path and death for the sake of Allah is the loftiest of its wishes."

Article 13: "There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors. The Palestinian people know better than to consent to having their future, rights and fate toyed with."

Note: For a complete understanding into the determined goals of Hamas, the Avalon Project of Yale Law School has the 1988 Hamas Covenant posted in its entirety on the Internet.

Israel should use the same bunker busting bombs that could used in Iran to destroy their nuclear capabilities. How these tunnels were not detected by Israeli technology is beyond my comprehension. Maybe they should leave a few untouched until the Jewish Holidays and surveil them. When the Hamas insurgents are in the tunnels, that will be the time to destroy them. Achieving two goals at the same time. Goodbye tunnels! Goodby Hamas!
