Looking the other way
IN LIGHT of the revolutions across the Arab world, why does the Free Gaza Movement continue to support the Hamas regime in Gaza? While Hamas confiscates homes to hide weapons tunnels, closes secular schools, and kills homosexuals and “Zionist collaborators,” FGM “peace activists” look the other way.
On Facebook, young Gazans express more hatred of Hamas than of the Israelis, knowing that criticism of Hamas can get oneself killed.
Hamas in Gaza is a division of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Closely allied with the Nazis during World War II, today they advocate an Islamic caliphate and genocidal jihad against the Jews.
Many fear they will hijack Egypt’s revolution to create a Taliban-style theocracy more oppressive than Mubarak’s regime.
The oppression people fear in Egypt exists today in Gaza. The Hamas charter does not call for a free Palestine; just annihilating the Zionists.
The “aid” flotillas sponsored by FGM do not bring humanitarian aid; even Hamas publicly stated that the supplies are useless. The flotillas are to enable Hamas to import more lethal weapons from Iran to attack Israel.
This is what the Free Gaza Movement represents — the same hatred and repression against which the people of Egypt revolted.
