Israel’s War To Stop Hamas Terrorizing Gazans
Videos will be presented that illuminate the horrendous tragedy directed at Israeli Jews and the celebration of such by Hamas supporters throughout the world, particularly in the media and academia.
On October 7, The World Witnessed How Hamas Exports its Terror. Now the world will learn how Hamas Terrorizes its own people.
Under Hamas, there is no freedom of expression, religion or the press in Gaza.
Gazan schools teach children only hate. The only thing Hamas glorifies is the death of its own people, under the veneer of martyrdom. Women are stripped of their rights. Gaza’s vast tunnel system was largely built with the small hands of enslaved Gazan children.
Corruption is rampant. Honest Gazan merchants are shaken down to the point of being placed in debtors’ jails. Hamas diverts anything of value—food, fuel, medicine—for its mendacious military purposes. Water pipes are unearthed and repurposed as rocket launchers. Gaza’s schools and hospitals are commandeered by Hamas. Hamas militants use their fellow Gazans as human shields. Hamas terrorists literally tie children to buildings to repel reprisals.

In War Against the Jews, Professor Dershowitz explains why the horrific attack of October 7 and Israel’s just response:
- Changes the relationship between Israel and the United States.
- Required Israel to consider its nuclear option as a last resort to assure its survival.
- Revealed dangerous attitudes among America’s future leaders on today’s college campuses toward Israel’s possible destruction.
- Clouded the future of peace between Israel and its Arab and Muslim neighbors.
- Rendered predictions about the future of the region nearly impossible.
