Hamas is a terror organization<\/h2>\n The main aim of Hamas is the complete destruction and annihilation of the State of Israel. Any Israeli on the planet of any age is their enemy, their legitimate target and fair game.<\/p>\n During the 1990s and early 2000s, Hamas was responsible for numerous suicide bombings in Israel. They trained young men and women for the sole objective to intentionally enter busy public areas filled with Israeli civilians and detonate a belt or bag full of explosives and nails. The suicide bomber\u2019s last act in human form is to rip apart bodies, kill as many Israeli Jews as possible.<\/p>\n Iraq\u2019s Saddam Hussein paid $25,000 to Palestinian families whose child would strap on a suicide belt and blow themselves up. SADDAM\u2019S GIFT TO FAMILIES OF BOMBERS<\/a><\/p>\n

Hamas gleefully took credit for the August 2001 \u2018Sbarro Massacre.\u2019<\/strong><\/h3>\n On August 9, 2001 in the heart of Jerusalem,<\/strong> a 22 year old Hamas suicide bomber disguised as a tourist with a guitar case filled with explosives entered a very busy, very popular Italian\/Pizza restaurant. 16 Israelis killed, 130 wounded, Hamas gleefully took credit.<\/strong> One of the severely wounded, Chana Nachenberg aged 31 at the time of the massacre remained hospitalized for 22 years. She passed away on May 31, 2023. Her 2 year old daughter was unhurt in the bombing. (Photo Credit: Instagram)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n An example of Hamas successful suicide bombing tactics:<\/p>\n August 9, 2001 at 2pm, a gorgeous summer\u2019s day. Hamas mastermind, Ahlam Tamimi led her young male accomplice to a location she targeted for a suicide bombing.<\/p>\n The very popular and busy Sbarro Italian restaurant was located in the heart of Jerusalem on the corner of King George and Jaffa Street. The sidewalks were bustling with pedestrians, tourists and families with their kids enjoying the summer vacation.<\/p>\n Without a security guard at the door, the young suicide bomber, disguised as a tourist with a guitar case filled with explosives slung over his shoulder, quickly and easily entered the Sbarro Italian Restaurant.<\/p>\n Filled with mothers, fathers, grandparents and children, the Hamas terrorist killed 16 and wounded 130 Israeli civilians and tourists.<\/p>\n For a list and further information on Hamas related suicide bombings in Israel: (Wikipedia is sometimes shameless). List Hamas Suicide Bombings<\/a><\/p>\n How is Hamas Funded? \u00a0Ask the UN, ask the EU<\/h2>\n The United Nations is entrenched in the Palestinian territories. UN entities located in Gaza, East Jerusalem and the West Bank listed in the UNITED NATIONS PALESTINE WEBSITE are: UN Entities in Palestine<\/a><\/p>\n \nFAO<\/li>\nILO<\/li>\nITC<\/li>\nOCHA<\/li>\nOHCHR<\/li>\nUNEP<\/li>\nUN-Habitat<\/li>\nUN Women<\/li>\nUNCTAD<\/li>\nUNDP<\/li>\nUNDSS<\/li>\nUNESCO<\/li>\nUNFPA<\/li>\nUNICEF<\/li>\nUNIDO<\/li>\nUNMAS<\/li>\nUNODC<\/li>\nUNOPS<\/li>\nUNRoD<\/li>\nUNSCO<\/li>\nUNRWA<\/li>\nWFP<\/li>\nWHO<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n UN Officials, Representatives, Diplomats and Staff Members, to safeguard their bloated salaries and ensure protection are beholding to Hamas and Hamas related terror groups.<\/p>\n According to the European Union Border Assistance Mission in Rafah (EUBAMF), between 1994 through 2009 the European Commission provided \u20ac4 billion (four billion EUROS) earmarked to support the Palestinian people. EU EUBAM INFO<\/a><\/p>\n Then as today, UN Officials readily and knowingly ignore the extensive funneling of monies that find their way into various international Hamas bank accounts.<\/p>\n Based in Brussels, infamously recognized as the European capitol for Arab terror organizations, is the European Union.<\/p>\n Through the \u201cOffice of the European Union Representative to the West Bank, Gaza and UNRWA\u201d representatives and staff are also concerned with safeguarding bloated salaries. And those stationed in Israel and Palestine are equally beholding to Hamas. European Office, Palestine and Territories<\/a><\/p>\n It\u2019s not a secret. These organizations plus a hodgepodge of international human rights organizations are fully aware of the stockpiling and movement of 1000s upon 1000s of missiles and rockets in Gaza. Weaponry, missiles, rockets and missiles launchers are housed in and around UN, EU, human rights facilities, schools, hospitals, residential areas and mosques.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also no secret that Hamas is broadly funded by Iran who supplies Hamas with cement to build vast underground bunkers and tunnels, helps purchase and build guns, weaponry, missiles, missile launchers and parts needed to assemble them onsite. And it\u2019s alleged that Iran was the mastermind behind the October 7th Massacre.<\/p>\n By ruling Gaza, Hamas sidetracks and receives massive funding via donor bodies located in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Jordan, UAE, Britain, Germany, France, Italy, United States and Qatar (where many of the top echelon of Hamas leadership reside in mansions).<\/p>\n By ruling Gaza, Hamas doesn\u2019t take care of the Gazan civilians.<\/p>\n Hamas doesn\u2019t rebuild infrastructure, new roads, playgrounds or parks. Hamas does not use the money build water and electricity facilities that will enable them to be independent of Israel. Hamas doesn\u2019t care to create jobs for the unemployed. Israel in fact is the only country that employs Gazan civilians.<\/p>\n European Diplomat, Sven K\u00fchn Von Burgsdorff<\/h2>\n** * Former European Union Ambassador to the Palestinians, German born Sven K\u00fchn Von Burgsdorff was a major critic of Israel.<\/p>\n * Rather than representing the European Union and its members, Von Burgsdorff was considered a propaganda tool for Hamas and its terrorist narrative. Three months ago, just before completing his almost 4 year tenure, Von Burgsdorff received an award from Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinian Authority Chief for his efforts in \u201csupporting the Palestinian people and their just struggle to achieve their freedom and independence.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n At a farewell dinner for Von Burgsdorff hosted by Palestinian Authority Prime Minister, Mohammad Shtayyeh, German representative to the Palestinian Authority, Oliver Owcza tweeted that attendants unanimously praised Von Burgsdorff\u2019s \u201cdedication, professionalism and humanity<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n Back in Europe, after the October 7th massacred, Von Burgsdorff, during a radio interview said, \u201cIt does not matter what Hamas did.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n *****Von Burgsdorff even refused to condemn Hamas for the massacre and kidnapping of Israelis, tourists and foreign nationals.<\/p>\n* Paragliding Along the Gaza Coast<\/h2>\n ***As a final gesture of solidarity with the Palestinians, \u00a0Von Burgsdorff publicly introduced paragliding to Hamas terrorists.<\/p>\n* On July 16, 2023, he was the first person to ever paraglide in Gaza. Burgsdorff In The Air<\/a><\/p>\n Is it possible the controversial Burgsdorff, with the full knowledge and support of the EU and UN, purchased and mentored Hamas terrorists on how to fly the paraglider? One can easily surmise he smuggled paraglider equipment into Gaza through his diplomatic immunity status.<\/p>\n It\u2019s reported that numerous videos filmed by Hamas in their extensive propaganda campaign show terrorists being trained in the art of the paraglider. These videos, viewed in Israel are well known to the Bibi Netanyahu government.<\/p>\n On October 7, 2023 at 6:30am, Hamas terrorists flew in and infiltrated Israel\u2019s southern border by motorized paraglider<\/strong><\/h2>\n***** While in the air, armed with machine guns, Hamas terrorists shot at 4000 young people attending a holiday weekend \u2018peace and love rave party.\u2019<\/p>\n 4000 young people ran for their lives.<\/p>\n 230 plus were killed. Many raped and tortured, their bodies ripped apart.<\/p>\n Many are still missing and the number of those kidnapped still unclear.<\/p>\n July 16, 2023 against the Oslo Accords and all subsequent agreements between Israel and the Palestinians, the provocative Sven Von Burgsdorff, former EU Ambassador to the Palestinians was the first person to paraglide in Gaza. He most likely smuggled the equipment in via diplomatic immunity. Was Von Burgsdorff, with the knowledge of the EU and UN responsible for smuggling in dozens of motorized paragliders that Hamas terrorists used on October 7th?(Photo Credit:EU)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\nThe image of \u00a0Von Burgsdorff gliding over the sea along the Gaza beach is now an international symbol of solidarity with Hamas terrorists that translates into supporting the destruction of Israel.<\/strong><\/li>\nThe image of Von Burgsdorff on his paraglider confirms it\u2019s politically correct to rape, murder and torture Israeli Jews and their friends. <\/strong><\/li>\nThe paraglider is now a symbol of the obligation of Hamas terrorists to bomb and burn Israeli families alive.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nWhen the World\u2026<\/h2>\n When the world weeps at an injured donkey in the rubble of Gaza yet cares nothing for a pregnant woman who\u2019s been tortured, murdered and her baby ripped out of her womb.<\/p>\n When feminists and international LGBTQ organizations chant \u2018Intifada\u2019 in support of Hamas over the bodies of raped women, children and men.<\/p>\n When colleges, institutes of higher learning and Ivy League universities are as ignorant and dumb as Dumb and Dumber\u2026there\u2019s a major problem.<\/p>\n On October 7, 2023 Hamas unleashed unfathomable inhumanity\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n Hamas unleashed worldwide antisemitism and worldwide anti-Israel protests.<\/p>\n Hamas also unleashed deafening silence.<\/p>\n Israelis are in pain as they bury the dead and frantically fret over 200 hostages<\/h2>\n Israeli politicians failed \u2013 perhaps purposely \u2013 to defend, protect and care for the left-wing, pro-peace, secular, socialist kibbutzim that line the border of Gaza. According to the 16 October, 2023 Israel War Room newsletter, Israeli forensic experts and doctors reported 80% of all bodies among the murdered were victims of rape and torture.<\/strong><\/p>\n Prime Minister Benjamin Bibi Netanyahu and his irresponsible coalition are guilty of turning their backs on 4000 young people, turning their cold hearts against thousands of residents along the border with Gaza. They even had the unprecedented audacity to leave the unprepared scant IDF young soldiers exposed and vulnerable. And Bibi did this after receiving warning after warning. Bibi did this on a holiday weekend that coincided with the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War. \u00a0DID BIBI PURPOSELY SACRIFICE 1000S<\/a><\/p>\n And in every generation\u2026<\/h2>\n The holiday of Passover is the retelling of how the Hebrews were saved by God from the cruel enslavement and abuse by the Egyptians.<\/p>\n Passover is the story of liberation, the story of self-realization. It is a holiday of giving thanks for each and every gift and miracle bestowed upon the Hebrews by God. It is the ancient story that marks the creation of the ancient to the modern State of Israel, the Jewish homeland.<\/p>\n ***There is a prayer sung during the Passover Seder service commonly known as \u2018Vehi Sheamda<\/em>.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n Lyrics in Hebrew, English transliteration and English translation of the Passover prayer entitled \u2018Vehi Sheamda that is sung during the Passover seder.
