Have you heard the news that Hamas has emerged from the tunnels and gone on a murder spree since the ceasefire took effect? Having withdrawn to the agreed perimeter, the IDF is not on hand to engage with Hamas. Instead, Hamas has donned its uniforms and seized on the opportunity to focus on those it deems its domestic opponents. The gentlemen on their knees below were not accorded much in the way of due process before their execution.

As the New York Post reports in the editorial to which John links in the adjacent post: “For now, the terror group is busy publicly executing rivals and wiping out clans and militias opposed to its rule.” If you’re not scrolling for the relevant news on X, you are likely to have missed the story. Why is that?
According to Palestinian Authority Security Forces spokesman Anwar Rajab, speaking to Al-Arabiya:
• What Hamas’s militias are doing in Gaza is vile terrorism, a brutal atrocity that cannot be ignored or tolerated.
• Violence and savagery are an integral part of Hamas’s ideological system; they have used this method since their founding.
• Hamas shelled the homes of the Dughmash family with rockets and RPGs and set houses on fire.
• Hamas aims to break the strength of families in Gaza.
Hamas of course defeated the Fatah Party of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in the 2006 legislative elections conducted in Gaza at the urging of Condoleezza Rice. Abbas is now serving the twenty-first year of the four-year term to which he was elected in 2005. He was on hand to join President Trump and other leaders of the Arab and Muslim world in Sharm El-Sheikh earlier this week. Some kind of congratulations — not my kind, but some kind — are in order.
