In the aftermath of the October 7 Hamas terror attack, when Israel announced that it was at war with Hamas, it took all of about five minutes for the American media, politicians on the left, the United Nations, college students, and -- our favorite moral superiors -- Hollywood celebrities to declare that there must be a ceasefire.
It was all about peace and protecting the Palestinian people, they said, neglecting to mention that the Palestinians elected Hamas in the first place and still support them with strong majorities. Of course, that was all nonsense. But not unexpected nonsense.
However, we think the calls for a ceasefire might get a little more difficult if any of the aforementioned groups actually listen to what Hamas itself has to say about this conflict. Take a gander:
Hamas: “we will repeat the October 7 massacre time and again, 1M times if we need to, until we end the occupation.“

Journalist: “occupation of Gaza?”
Hamas: “no, all of Israel.” pic.twitter.com/8hT1dkqGEM
Ghazi Hamad, speaking here, is the former Deputy Foreign Minister of the Hamas government and still a member of its political bureau, so this is not just some random media personality. He is a public representative of the government (if we can still call it that), and he is openly declaring Hams' intent to wipe out the Jews. And there will be no 'ceasefire,' as far as Hamas is concerned, just continued attacks until Israel and the Jews on that land are wiped out.
Moreover, in case you missed it, he is openly declaring that Hamas itself does not care one iota about protecting the lives of the Palestinian people ('We are proud to sacrifice martyrs').

Oh, and did you catch the bit about how Hamas didn't want 'civilian casualties' on October 7? We simply have no words for that level of craven lies.
So, to the 'Squad,' to the New York Times, to Hollywood, to college campuses: do you still support a ceasefire?
If you still believe this is about Gaza or Palestine being a free state listen to this. All they want is the destruction and elimination of Israel and the Israeli people. This is who you are protecting and cheering. https://t.co/6fVBOY4NQ8

For the people who forget Hamas is anti-any peace solution: https://t.co/o5FqRqeyzw

People also seem to forget that there was a ceasefire in place ... on October 6. Hamas broke it, viciously.
Please show this to all your naive friends who keep posting “cEASefiRe!!” and think it means something.

Hamas will never stop fighting. And now Israel won’t stop until Hamas is destroyed.
That’s the situation. It’s never changing. https://t.co/HgQMoWz3Vn
Hamas: We want to do this again, until you're all dead

Americans on social media: How about a ceasefire? https://t.co/ICJkdATkYu
Why won’t Israel agree to these conditions? https://t.co/PGwSIZsOK8

LOL. Sorry, but you do have to laugh sometimes. It's insane the conditions that leftists want to place on Israel, conditions that no other nation on Earth would agree to -- or be expected to agree to -- after 1,400 of their citizens had been brutally murdered by savage terrorists.
The only way for Israel to live is for Hamas to die.

For Israel, to agree to a ceasefire would be suicidal, and it's shameful that progressive westerners would ask that of them. https://t.co/boHic0Hdsr
Just so we’re clear on what a ceasefire means for Israel 👇🏻 https://t.co/88qHPPObYJ

When they tell you who they are, believe them. There is no occupation; Israel pulled out of Gaza in 2005. https://t.co/0GHlO5dE7P

The only way 'occupation' makes sense at all is if you understand what Hamas means here. 'Occupation' to them means Israel and Jews not existing ... at all. Israel understands this. So does anyone who listens. It's a shame that more in America don't understand it.
This what “from the river to sea” means. https://t.co/kVrmjcSbNM

Someone should clue in students at Harvard, Yale, UPenn, Cornell, and more about what it means, and that this is what it has always meant.
Israel is defending its right to exist.

Hamas wants total annihilation of Israel.
Recognize the difference. https://t.co/7KUrNu4dbY
To be for a "ceasefire" is to be fine with allowing these people to get away with the largest mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust and give them the green light to do it again.

We can have a ceasefire after Hamas is completely destroyed. https://t.co/stpwCYkt6N
So Israel must wipe them out. https://t.co/nDm83UMnrf

This is the only way. It's high time everyone in the world -- and America -- recognize it.
