Hamas Attack on Israel


Recent attacks against the people of Israel by Hamas militants are thought by them to be acts of holy war. But what is Holy about murdering families, raping women, beheading babies, and kidnapping hostages to make human shields out of them? Nothing about this attack is Holy and those who do this evil work will face a Holy God for judgement. Jesus even said:


Matthew 7:21-23

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.


God is Holy and His people are to be Holy. Jesus even taught that a tree is known by its fruit:


Matthew 12:33

33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.


If the fruit is good, it came from a good tree but if the fruit is evil it came from an evil tree. What do we see in Hamas but the fruit that is evil. That is because the tree is evil.


So don’t be deceived about what is happening. The fruit on the tree from Hamas is murder, rape, massacre, and an antisemitic hatred of Jews. These all have the fingerprints of Satan. Jesus once told the religious hypocrites of his day:


John 8:44-45

44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.


This is not a new fight. Under the leadership of Adolf Hitler, the Jews (not Israel) was slated for extermination. The Nazis almost completed their evil deeds but were stopped only after 6 million Jews were slaughtered. Their Nazi spirit continued within the persons of the Grand Mufti of Palestine (Mohammed Amin al-Husseini) and the Ayatollah Khomeini (Iran).


The Mufti of Jerusalem (Grand Mufti) once visited, met, and shook the hand of Hitler in Germany, vowing to complete the work of the Nazis in Palestine. After his death, Yasir Arafat headed the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) and was the grand-nephew of the Grand Mufti. Many Jews were killed in uprisings under Arafat’s dominion. The Grand Mufti was also a founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, the modern terrorist organization that led the attacks again the U.S. on 911 and elsewhere.


Hamas also has its roots in Nazism just as the PLO. Although distinct from the PLO, Hamas was founded in Gaza in 1987 by Sheikh Yassin, who was a student of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood is also the source from which Al Qaeda - Osama ben Laden and ISIL/ISIS - Ayman al-Zawahir came. The horrors of 7 October 2023 stem from this long history of evil and hate against the Jews.


Likewise, the Ayatollah of Iran was a part of the Nazi outreach to the Persians (Iranians) before Nazi Germany fell to the Russians. Ayatollah Khomeini carried their evil spirit with him when he returned to his home country from exile. Following in his footsteps, the current Ayatollah of Iran is responsible for the oversight and actions of Hezbollah.


Today, Hamas and Hezbollah are recognized internationally as terrorist regimes bent on the destruction of the Jews in Israel. The work of the holocaust has not ended but is being extended today by their descendants in the recent attacks against the Israeli people.


I do not condemn Muslims for the unholy war against the Jews of Israel but the collaboration of Hamas and Hezbollah. I do not condemn Palestinians for the murder of innocent Jews but those forces led by evil spirits to do evil deeds. Vengeance should not be blind as Israel’s response should be ending the war making capability of Hamas and Hezbollah in Gaza. The fight is not against a religion or a people but against those attacking the people of Eretz Israel.


Golda Meir, former Prime Minister of Israel, and the only woman to hold that position, is quoted as saying:


“When peace comes we will perhaps in time be able to forgive the Arabs for killing our sons, but it will be harder for us to forgive them for having forced us to kill their sons. Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.”


The war that Israel will fight will be a just response to those who attached them. The attacks against the war machine of Hamas and Hezbollah will unfortunately include the loss of civilian life in the Gaza and possibly elsewhere; this cannot be avoided as the Hamas militants surround themselves with human shields of captive Jews and members of their own population. Maybe someday the Jews of Israel can forgive the Palestinians for making them kill the children of the Palestinians as they try to forgive them for killing their own Jewish babies. But that day is not today!
