On the anniversary of Shavuot, when Jews around the world commemorate the giving of the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai -- the founding pillar of human civilization -- we thought it would be worthwhile to list the Ten Commandments most frequently on the lips of the leaders of Hamas, a terrorist organization committed to the destruction of Israel:
1. “There is no concession to Jerusalem, no alternative to Palestine, and no solution but to return. This is the Palestinian people taking the initiative for the sake of Jerusalem and the right of return” — Ismail Haniyeh, Chairman of Hamas Political Bureau, 2018 2. “Palestine is a land that was seized by a racist, anti-hu man, and colonial Zionist project that was founded on a false promise.” (http://hamas.ps/en/post/678/a-document-of-general-principles-and-policies) — Revised Hamas Charter, 2017 3. “Over is the time Hamas spent discussing recognizing Israel. Now Hamas will discuss when we will wipe out Israel” — Yahya Sinwar, Hamas Political Leader in Gaza, 2017 click image to enlarge >>>>> 4. “Removing the Jews from the land they occupied in 1948 is an immutable principle because it appears in the Book of Allah” — Mahmoud al-Zahar, Hamas Co-Founder, 2016 5. The Jewish state would be wiped away through “resistance,” or military action. “The state will come from resistance, not negotiation,” he said. “Liberation first, then statehood…. We will free Jerusalem inch by inch, stone by stone. Israel has no right to be in Jerusalem” — Khaled Meshal, Hamas Political Leader, 2012 6. “Oh Allah, destroy the Jews and their supporters. Oh Allah, destroy the Americans and their supporters. Oh Allah, count them one by one, and kill them all, without leaving a single one” — Ahmad Bahr, Deputy Speaker of the Palestinian Parliament in Gaza, 2012 7. “Allah, take the Jews and their allies, Allah, take the Americans and their allies … annihilate them completely and do not leave anyone of them” — Yussuf al-Sharafi, Hamas Member of the Palestinian Legislative Council, 2012 8. “The Jews are the most despicable and contemptible nation to crawl upon the face of the Earth” — Atallah Abu Al-Subh, Former Hamas Minister of Culture, 2011 9. “Hamas will continue the resistance until the last drop of blood” —Fawzi Barhoum, Hamas Spokesman, calling for a resumption of suicide terror attacks in 2008 10. “These are the founding Hamas principles on which we raise our children and in which we believe: Armed resistance, non-recognition of the occupation in any form, all Palestine from the river to the sea, the holy places and Jerusalem and the right of return” – Sami Abu-Zuhri, Hamas Leader in Gaza, 2007 download pdf here |
