Did Israel Avert a Hamas Massacre? That was the question posed by a 2014 Vanity Fair exposé. The report detailed a plot by Hamas to attack and kidnap Israelis using underground tunnels during the vulnerable period of Rosh Hashanah. The operation aimed to not only massacre civilians but also hold soldiers and civilians as bargaining chips. The Israel Defense Forces confirmed the existence of the tunnels, but not the specific date of the attack. At the time, the report received minimal coverage and many dismissed it as too sensationalistic or a ploy by the Israeli security services. However, recent events have shown that the skeptics were wrong.
Last week, Hamas carried out a brutal attack on the Gaza border, similar to the plot outlined years ago. Instead of tunneling underground, they launched an aboveground invasion on Simchat Torah. The terrorists stormed nearby communities and committed unspeakable acts of violence, including murdering infants, decapitating victims, and targeting schools. The death toll continues to rise. These shocking events were not entirely unforeseen, as signs of Hamas’s genocidal intentions were evident in their charter and past actions.
Hamas’s charter is filled with anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and calls for the destruction of Israel. It claims that Jews control the world media and were behind major historical events. The group’s violence, including suicide bombings and rocket attacks, is rooted in sadism and a desire for Jewish elimination. Furthermore, Hamas has repressed dissent, misused international aid, and shown no interest in sharing the land with Jews. Despite all this, many were surprised by their recent atrocities.
The question is not why Hamas committed these acts, but why so many failed to take their genocidal threat seriously. Even Israel’s prime minister overlooked the severity of the situation. Journalists covering anti-Semitism did not give enough attention to Hamas’s overt anti-Jewish ideology. Leftists advocating for Palestinian rights often failed to recognize that Hamas did not share their vision of equality and dignity. It’s time for the world to confront the harsh reality of Hamas and the danger it poses.
