Peace in the Middle East requires acknowledging that Hamas is not a rational actor interested in negotiation. Hamas turned Gaza into a war zone and views its own people as expendable for jihad, lacking bomb shelters for civilians while building luxury hotels for Western journalists. Hamas's agenda is comparable to the Nazis, but unlike the Nazis, Hamas uses its own people as human shields, valuing the propaganda of dead children. Israel desires peace and prosperity for Gaza, but Hamas prefers misery and blaming Jews. Hamas's charter calls for the killing or expulsion of all Jews in the Middle East, forbidding peace negotiations. Attempts at territorial concessions and mediation have failed, as Hamas breaks ceasefires and seeks Jewish blood. Defeating Hamas is necessary for Palestinian liberation and lasting peace.

Interviewer and Professor discuss what is known about October 7, the broader context, and the ongoing political implications. - On October 7, the global picture is that roughly 1,200 people were killed, with about 400 combatants and about 800 civilians, according to authorities the professor cites. He notes he relies on UN Human Rights Council Commission of Inquiry, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch but cautions these bodies do not have perfect records. He maintains there is no compelling evidence that a significant portion of the deaths in Israel’s reaction to October 7 were the result of Israeli actions, and he says the deaths are overwhelmingly attributable to Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza. He states there is no evidence supporting the claim that Hamas weaponized rape on October 7. - Regarding rape allegations, the professor emphasizes that the UN mission distinguishes between rape and sexual violence; the UN Commission of Inquiry states there is no digital or photographic evidence of rape. Pamela Patton’s report looked at 5,000 photographs and 50 hours of digital evidence but concluded there was no direct digital or photographic evidence of sexual violence on October 7. He questions why, if such incidents occurred, witnesses did not produce photographic or digital proof, noting that in a conflict zone Israelis would typically photograph atrocities; he suggests eyewitness testimony often aligns with broader narratives about Israel, and argues that some eyewitness accounts come from sources that claim Israel is morally exemplary while also alleging atrocities. - The discussion then moves to the credibility of eyewitness reports. The professor argues that some eyewitness accounts “will tell you Israel is the most moral army in the world” while also suggesting Israel’s society is inbred and that Israeli soldiers form deep bonds in the army, which could influence narratives. He notes a broader pattern of people publishing favorable studies of Israel while denying atrocities. - On Hamas’s planning before October 7, the professor describes Gaza as an “inferno under the Israeli occupation,” with Gaza repeatedly described as a concentration camp by prominent figures since 2004 and 2008. He argues that by late 2023 Gaza was portrayed as facing international indifference, and he asserts that the belief that Gaza’s fate would be sealed by Saudi Arabia joining the Abraham Accords contributed to Hamas’s decision-making. He cites The Economist and UN commentary describing Gaza’s conditions well before October 7, including extreme unemployment (approximately 60% among Gaza’s young people) and a collapse of basic services. - The interviewer asks why violence occurred given various nonviolent and diplomatic avenues. The professor notes that Hamas had attempted diplomacy, including reports of seeking a two-state solution or a hudna, cooperation with human rights investigations after prior Israeli operations, and support for nonviolent movements like the Great March of Return. He claims Hamas’s efforts were ignored and emphasizes the blockade’s impact on Gaza. He argues that while Hamas was not saints, they engaged with diplomacy and international law before resorting to violence in the face of Gaza’s dire conditions. - The West Bank vs. Gaza comparison is discussed. The professor argues that the goal in Gaza differs from that in other contexts; whereas other actors may aim to subordinate, Israel’s long-term aim in Gaza is described as making Gaza unlivable and controlling the territory, with support from various Arab states. - The interviewer questions the historical legitimacy of Gaza and Palestinian statehood. The professor rejects attempts to deny Palestinian existence or redefine Gaza’s status, insisting Gaza’s people are Palestinian and Gaza is not part of the West Bank, while acknowledging the historical complexities. - On the UN Security Council resolution and the “board of peace,” the professor describes the resolution as endorsing the Trump peace plan and naming Donald Trump as head of the board of peace, with the board operating with sovereign powers in Gaza and lacking external accountability. He asserts that this effectively grants Trump control over Gaza and foresees rebuilding timelines; he argues that reconstruction would take decades under current conditions, given rubble, toxins, unexploded ordnance, and the scale of destruction. - The future of Gaza is described pessimistically: Gaza is depicted as “gone” in the sense of a prolonged, uninhabitable landscape under an administratively transitional framework that does not guarantee meaningful reconstruction. The professor contends that Arab states endorsed the resolution under pressure and that some leaders feared severe economic repercussions if they opposed it. - The discussion closes with reflections on who benefits from the resolution and the overall trajectory for Gaza, including strong skepticism about any imminent or credible path to durable peace given the political arrangements described and the perceived long-term consequences for the Palestinian people.

Gaza was previously under Israeli IDF control but was given up in 2005 for peace. However, it has now become a hub for terrorists, particularly Hamas. Despite receiving significant financial aid from the West, no new hospitals or schools have been built in the past five years. On the other hand, over the last two years, more than 30 terror tunnels have been discovered. It is worth noting that Hamas exploits children for their own purposes.

Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip in 2005, leaving behind valuable resources. However, the Palestinians burned down the greenhouses and elected Hamas as their leaders. Since then, Hamas has used resources from Israel to create rockets and attack the Jewish people, neglecting the needs of the people in Gaza. To truly support a free Palestine, it is necessary to eliminate Hamas. This will lead to a better future for both the people in Gaza and Israel. Eradicating Hamas is the only way to achieve freedom for Palestine.

Israel has targeted and destroyed numerous schools, universities, bookshops, libraries, and publishing houses in Gaza. They have demolished all 12 of Gaza's universities, proudly documenting their actions. Education is crucial for Palestinian society, which has one of the lowest illiteracy rates globally and a high number of PhD graduates per capita. This investment in education is a result of losing their material base in the Nakba.

Hamas' headquarters are located underneath the Shefa hospital compound, which also includes multiple underground complexes. They have strategically placed their infrastructure under schools, universities, mosques, and hospitals. This allows them to use civilians as shields and exploit the hospital's resources for their own purposes. Hamas controls the energy resources in Gaza and diverts them towards terrorism, neglecting the needs of the people. This tragic reality falls squarely on the shoulders of Hamas.

I was born in the heart of Hamas leadership and witnessed their disregard for Palestinian lives. I realized I couldn't support them if they became rulers and destroyed Israel. Now, after 25 years, they rule Gaza and we see their capabilities. Israel didn't start this war, Hamas did. We should encourage civilians to leave Gaza, cut the strip into two parts, and impose a solid siege to deplete and starve the enemy. We may need to consider using gas in the tunnels, but timing is crucial. After destroying the tunnels, we must remove Hamas from power and replace them with the Palestinian Authority, Egyptian government, or Arab League. Aid should only be considered once Gaza is free from Hamas. The Palestinian people just want a normal life, without missiles launched from populated areas. We can't convince protesters who support Hamas, but it's important to defeat this brutal terrorist organization.

- Speaker 0: Since Israel began strikes on Gaza after Hamas’ surprise attack on October 7, it has targeted residential buildings. The UN says nearly 200,000 structures have been destroyed or damaged. With so many fleeing attacks, Palestinians packed into makeshift shelters, many of them UN run schools, but they were not safe. More than 1,000 schools have been bombed, and Israel has destroyed most of Gaza's hospitals, including Al Shifa, where more than 400 Palestinians were killed in a raid in March 2024. - Speaker 1: We make the best weapons in the world, and we’ve got a lot of them. And we’ve given a lot to Israel, frankly. And I mean, Bibi would call me so many times, can you get me this weapon, that weapon, that weapon. Some of them I never heard of, baby, and I made them. But we’d get them here, wouldn’t we? And they are the best. They are the best. And you but you used them well. It also takes people that know how to use them, and you obviously used them very well. But so many that Israel became strong and powerful, which ultimately led to peace. That’s what led to peace. So as we celebrate today, let us remember how this nightmare of depravity and death all began. - Speaker 2: In 1948, when the land of Palestine was officially stolen and given to a group of rabid Zionists who murdered over 10,000 Palestinians. This crime against humanity was decided as early as 1917 with the Balfour Declaration, the British Crown, and Lord Rothschild of the Rothschild banking dynasty, otherwise known as the Bank of England, who when it’s all said and done, will have control over hundreds of billions of dollars worth of Palestinian oil and gas reserves. As Michael Roverero famously said, all wars are bankers’ wars. According to Benjamin Franklin, the primary catalyst for the American Revolution was the Bank of England’s Currency Act. After the revolution, a value based economy with no interest being paid to any central bank was created. But it didn’t last long. The first bank of the United States was chartered in 1791 and favored foreign stockholders over Americans. The charter ended in January 1811 followed by the war of eighteen twelve and the establishment of the second bank of the United States in 1816, which gave more power to the Bank of England. Andrew Jackson successfully killed the bank’s renewal and shortly after became the first US president targeted for assassination when Richard Lawrence drew pistols on him outside The US capital, but misfired. Laws were passed in the early eighteen sixties for the US government to issue its own currency in a value based economy as opposed to the debt based system imposed by central banks. According to an 1864 edition of the London Times, this would have made America the wealthiest nation of the world. The article warned that if a government creates its own money, it will be without debt. It will become prosperous without precedent in the history of the world and therefore must be destroyed. In 1865, president Lincoln was assassinated, and the economy was quickly phased back to the central bank’s debt enslavement model. In 1913, the tyrannical Federal Reserve Bank and federal income tax was born. The two world wars brought Germany under the heel of the central banking cartel. Western banking institutions financed the Bolshevik revolution. In 2000, Iraq stopped selling its oil and Federal Reserve notes. In 2003, Iraq was illegally invaded by The United States and dollar based oil sales were reinstated. In Libya, Muammar Gaddafi’s gold dinar currency was making the nation rich. In 2011, The US invaded and reverted Libya’s oil sales to dollars. The Bank for International Settlements recently proposed efforts under the guise of anti money laundering that would provide scores to tokens and digital wallets including stablecoins. Digital ID, social credit scores, and a carbon tax is what the bankers are up to now. And everything else is a distraction. Today’s war is mostly psychological, and it’s being waged upon you.

Islamic Jihad bombed a hospital in Gaza, resulting in hundreds of deaths. They fired rockets at Israeli civilians, but one misfired and hit the hospital. Despite this, they are trying to blame Israel. Hamas and Islamic Jihad often launch rockets from densely populated areas, including hospitals, mosques, schools, and homes. It is important to condemn both Hamas and Islamic Jihad for their actions.

Hamas is using Palestinian children as human shields by storing rockets in schools and building terror tunnels under amusement parks and kids' beds. This is not new information, as it has been known for a long time that Hamas uses civilian infrastructure for their terrorist activities, which is against international law. Israel has been taking measures to evacuate Gaza residents to safety, dropping leaflets, creating evacuation routes, and providing protection. Hamas's true goal is to eradicate Israel and kill all Jews, using Gaza and its people as pawns. The current situation in Gaza is causing outrage against Israel, but the real blame should be on Hamas for dragging the entire region into bloodshed and chaos. Free Palestine from Hamas. (123 words)

In 2005, Israel left Gaza, leaving behind settlements, greenhouses, and public buildings. They offered the citizens a chance to build a prosperous and independent city. However, instead of utilizing the funds for development, Gaza chose to invest in terrorism. They built war tunnels, educated children to kill, and launched attacks on Israeli cities. This led to the destruction of Gaza, turning it into a hellish place.

In Gaza, Hamas is manipulating the situation to fuel anger towards Israel. They use tactics like hiding their headquarters under hospitals and preventing people from leaving war zones. They even steal resources from the very people they are responsible for. Hamas wants civilians to die so they can blame Israel and provoke anger. Israel is taking action to dismantle Hamas and ensure the safety of its people. The world should be angry, but direct that anger towards Hamas for their actions against both Israel and the people of Gaza.

What's happening in The Middle East, in particular with Gaza right now, we have some more responsibility for both sides in a way because we provide help and funding for both Arab nations and Israel. And so we definitely have a moral responsibility, and especially now today, the weapons being used to kill so many Palestinians are American weapons, and American funds is essentially are being used for this. But there's a political liability, which I think is something that we fail to look at because too often there's so much blowback from our intervention in areas that we shouldn't be involved in. Hamas, if you look at the history, you'll find out that Hamas was encouraged and really started by Israel because they wanted Hamas to counteract Yasser Arafat. And he said, well, that was better then and served his purpose, but we didn't want Hamas to do this. Then we have election, then Hamas becomes dominant, so we have to kill him.

Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip in 2005, leaving behind valuable resources. However, the Palestinians burned down the greenhouses and elected Hamas as their leaders in 2007. Since then, Hamas has used all resources from Israel to create rockets and attack Israel, neglecting the needs of the people in Gaza. To truly support a free Palestine, we must eliminate Hamas. This will lead to a better future for both the people in Gaza and Israel. Eradicating Hamas is the only way to achieve freedom for Palestine.

Israel wanted peace with the Arabic world since its existence. The PLO was founded in 1964 when the West Bank was in Jordan's hands and Gaza was in Egypt's, not because of occupation, but to eliminate Jews. Palestinians lost Gaza and the West Bank in 1967 because they preempted an attack against Israel. In 2000, Ehud Barak offered 97% of territories back, but it was refused. In 2005, Israel withdrew from Gaza, removing its people and even Jewish remains from cemeteries. Greenhouses exporting $50 million in flowers were left for Palestinians, but they destroyed synagogues and greenhouses. Hamas then had an election. A woman was elected to the cabinet of Hamas because she had videos of her sons dressing as suicide bombers. Hamas put Palestinians in a prison in Gaza. Gaza could have been Singapore, but instead, Hamas built tunnels instead of helping their people. Palestinians brought this on themselves.

There are currently 35 hospitals in Gaza, with 25 of them being affected. It's important to note that two of the founders of Hamas were doctors. One of the founders, Rantizi, was killed by Israel in 2004, and another leader, Mahmoud Zahar, has his own clinic. Many hospitals in Gaza are funded and built by foreign countries, such as Indonesia, Jordan, and Turkey, as a way to support Gaza. However, some of these hospitals, including the Turkish and Jordanian ones, have also been destroyed.

Hamas, the second richest terror organization globally with a $1 billion annual turnover, prioritizes profit over the well-being of Gaza's residents. Instead of investing in clean water sources, they focus on smuggling goods through tunnels for personal gain. Consequently, contaminated water contributes to 12% of childhood deaths in Gaza. Surprisingly, the majority of Hamas leaders don't even reside in the area. This highlights the unfortunate reality that the money meant for the citizens ends up lining the pockets of these leaders. It is crucial to free Palestine from this situation.

We created Hamas as a counterweight to the government at the time, thinking it would be a prayer organization that would clash with them. However, we couldn't predict what it would become. Now, we have to consider the facts and decide whether to conquer Gaza and destroy Hamas, regardless of the cost.

Hamas has created urban warfare in Gaza on an unprecedented scale by weaponizing the entire urban landscape. This is based on the knowledge that the population is entirely supportive of Hamas' goals. Weapons are stashed inside homes, mosques, and kindergartens. Hundreds of kilometers of tunnels were constructed using billions of dollars that were intended for aid and reconstruction. This construction and weapon storage took place with the full knowledge and support of the population. Weapons can only be stashed in homes, mosques, and schools within a supportive population.

- On October 7, approximately 1,200 people were killed, with about 400 combatants and 800 civilians, according to the speaker who bases this on authoritative human rights reports (UN HRC Commission of Inquiry, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch). He notes that these organizations do not have perfect records but argues there is no compelling evidence that contradicts Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza being responsible for the majority of deaths, while there is no evidence that Israeli actions within Israel constituted a significant share of the total deaths. - The speaker contends there is no credible evidence of weaponized rape by Hamas on October 7. He discusses the UN Commission of Inquiry’s distinction between rape and sexual violence, and Pamela Patton’s report, which he says concluded there was no direct digital or photographic evidence of sexual violence on October 7, despite reviewing thousands of photographs and hundreds of hours of digital evidence. He argues the rape claim relies on assertions by observers and advocates rather than verifiable forensic or photographic proof. - Eyewitness testimony is challenged as being part of a pattern that could promote a narrative of Israeli moral exceptionalism; the speaker asserts that some eyewitness accounts “tell you Israel is the most moral army in the world” and notes that many such testimonies come from sources described as biased, with Israeli soldiers often embedded in a siege mentality. He suggests that Israeli society, with a citizen army and strong military culture, may have incentives to shape or repeat certain stories. - The speaker discusses Hamas’s planning and motives in the years leading to October 7, describing Gaza as an “inferno under the Israeli occupation.” He cites early 2000s characterizations of Gaza as a concentration camp by Israeli officials and UN/Human Rights reports, and notes the blockade and economic collapse. He explains that in 2023, Gaza was described by The Economist as a “rubber sheep” and by others as a toxic dump, with extremely high unemployment (60% of youth) and a deteriorating social fabric. The anticipated end of Gaza’s struggle was seen when Saudi Arabia joined the Abraham Accords, leading the speaker to say Gaza’s fate was sealed. - The discussion on Hamas’s shift to violence notes Hamas had previously tried diplomacy, international law (including cooperation with human rights organizations after Operation Cast Lead and Operation Protective Edge), and even nonviolent strategies like the Great March of Return (endorsed by Hamas). The UN report on the March of Return found demonstrators overwhelmingly nonviolent, while Israel was accused of targeting civilians. The speaker argues Hamas pursued multiple avenues but faced a harsh blockade and a failing prospect of improvement. - Regarding the broader regional context, the speaker asserts that the West Bank and Gaza have different trajectories; Egypt and Jordan are seen as neutralizing or stabilizing forces, while the West Bank’s situation is contrasted with Gaza’s harsher conditions. He argues that the goal in places like Egypt is to neutralize, whereas Israel’s policy toward Gaza is described as cleansing or subjugation, a distinction he says differentiates regional dynamics. - The speaker critiques the UN Security Council’s handling of Gaza, describing a 2023 resolution (UNSC Resolution 2803) that endorses the Trump peace plan and creates a “board of peace” with sovereign powers in Gaza, headed by Donald Trump, and notes that no external body supervises this board beyond a quarterly report to the Security Council. He claims this arrangement renders Gaza effectively under a transitional administration, with reconstruction timelines alarmingly long (fifty to eighty years to rebuild) and a minimal chance of Israel withdrawing from the green zone. - He argues that after October 7, the board’s governance path, the Trump plan, and Arab states’ support for the resolution collectively resulted in Gaza’s “death warrant,” with reconstruction hampered by deliberate destruction and political arrangements that preclude meaningful self-determination or statehood for Gaza. - On international reactions, the speaker notes varying support for Gaza among Arab nations and emphasizes that some regional actors (including Turkey, Egypt, Qatar, and others) endorsed handing Gaza to Trump; he accuses these states of compromising Gaza’s future for broader geopolitical aims and accuses several of “slavery and subservience” to such outcomes. - The concluding portion covers Gaza’s future: the speaker reiterates that Gaza has effectively been made unlivable, with rubble and toxic contamination delaying any reconstruction for decades, and he maintains that the path to a two-state solution remains contested, with the Trump-led framework limiting Palestinian rights and self-determination. He indicates he has just completed a book on UN corruption and the Security Council’s role in Gaza, titled Gaza’s Gravediggers, and suggests that the UN declaration of war on Gaza nullifies international law regarding self-determination.

Hamas has committed attacks prior to October 7, killing thousands of Israelis and hundreds of Palestinians, sabotaging the peace process. Hamas is more than a terrorist organization; it is a religious, ideological movement waging a holy war against a race, not a national resistance movement to liberate Palestine. Hamas does not believe in political borders, but wants a global state. Supporting pro-Palestine groups gives support to a savage group that committed genocide against Jewish communities. Having lived with Hamas members in prison for 27 months, the speaker witnessed them torturing Palestinians. The speaker believes October 7 could be the worst crime of modern day. Hamas is a radical religious movement with global ambition that does not value human life and does not believe in democracy. Israel, in contrast, is a democratic nation that has extended its hand to the region for peace for over 70 years. Since 1948, Arab nations have tried to annihilate Israel. 95% of wars between Arabs and Israel were initiated by Arab countries. On October 7, Israel suffered genocide, not just a terrorist attack.

Regarding Gaza, there is a belief that more can be done to address the conflict between good and evil. It is stated that the only innocent individuals in Gaza are the 229 hostages, and once they return to Israel, the speaker suggests destroying Shefa hospital, all other hospitals, and tunnels, in order to eliminate everyone. The speaker asserts that it is time for the world to recognize the importance of their position.

Less than two weeks before Israel's attack on Gaza, Netanyahu presented a map at the United Nations General Assembly called the "new Middle East," which completely erased the Palestinian regions. This suggests Israel's intention to eliminate Gaza. The strategy of using another entity, in this case Hamas, allows Israel to shift blame and portray itself as defending against a supposed threat. US Senator Ron Paul has claimed that Hamas is actually an organization created and funded by Israel to serve its interests. The history of Hamas indicates that it was initially encouraged and supported by Israel.

We created Hamas as a counterweight to Fatah, thinking it would be a prayer organization that would compete with them. However, we couldn't predict what it would become. Now, we have to consider the facts and decide whether to conquer Gaza and destroy Hamas, regardless of the cost.

Hamas, the second richest terror organization globally with a $1 billion annual turnover, has neglected the well-being of Gaza. Instead of providing clean water, they prioritize tunnel digging for smuggling, benefiting their leaders financially. Consequently, contaminated water causes 12% of childhood deaths in Gaza. Shockingly, most Hamas leaders don't even reside in the area, yet they profit from the organization's funds. It is crucial to free Palestine from Hamas and improve the lives of its citizens.
