During the eight-day military conflict between Hamas and Israel, Hamas broadcast various ideological messages on its official Al-Aqsa TV station. One recurring message called for the killing of Jews, which Hamas defined as a religious Islamic act in worship of Allah. During one music video, these words were shown on the screen:
"Killing Jews is worship
that draws us close to Allah"
The following are additional lyrics from the video which boasted of "terrifying the Jews" and glorified Hamas' military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades:
"[Oh] lovers of the trigger:
Killing the occupiers [Israelis] is worship that Allah made into law...
Arabic text on sign: 'Killing Jews is worship that draws us close to Allah'
Arise, oh determined men. The color of [the Martyr's] blood protects the land.
Oh masked one wearing a keffiyeh (i.e., Arab head scarf), terrifying the Jews... call out in Zionism's face: 'Muhammad's army has begun to return.'"
Another song on Hamas TV also bragged about killing Jews in a series of short phrases highlighting the achievements of Hamas' Al-Qassam Brigades:
"Brigades - we kidnap soldiers, Brigades - we kill Jews"
While the song was broadcast in Arabic, Hebrew words appeared on the screen addressing Israelis, while pictures of Israelis being attacked and of an Israeli funeral were shown:
"Your body parts are scattered everywhere"
"The cemeteries await you"

This song also had an Islamic aspect as it called for liberating the land for Islam:
"Destroy the usurper's dens and set fire to the oppressors
Through training and preparations, you roar, oh lion of Qassam [Brigades]
It's in your hands to get [our] country back
and then we will raise the banner of Islam."

(31,849 posts)Is your purpose here at DU to whip up anti-Hamas/Pro-Israeli sentiment?
I noticed that everyday, all day, during the conflict, you were posting, like 24/7; but with the announced cease-fire, poof ... no more Shira.
Now, you're back with more inflammatory stuff.
So one wonders, isn't that pretty much the definition a of "trollism"?

(30,109 posts)I guess I could turn your question around. Would you rather see posts here that whip up resentment and hate of the Jews and their nation?
You don't have to answer that one.
But seriously, do you recommend that Hamas be sanitized? That it's not important to expose them for who and what they truly are? Maybe we should view them as an oppressed group of poor, downtrodden victims who are just desperate to resist a brutal occupation....
Tell me, what do you even make of Hamas?
And how do you think Israel should respond to such a vile group?

(31,849 posts)my question revolved around why you seem to disappear, when there appears to be moments of peace; but re-surface with incitement.

Just about all my posts (and check the count now) are in I/P.

We should suppress the inconvenient truth about this murderous terrorist organization that hates Jews and Israel .
Thank G-D Shira is here to expose these barbarians that seem to get a modicum of respect in this part of the world .

(40 posts)When you exhort others to murder others, no matter what their religion is, then you've earned that mistrust.
Israel has every reason to distrust Hamas when they broadcast inflammatory videos like those.
