Hamas Takes Its End Of The Year Bragging Rights

I don't know if it the holiday spirit or because they want to close the year right, but Hamas now admits to murdering the Jewish teenagers of the Mercaz HaRav Kook Yeshiva

Abu Obadiah, spokesman for the Izz al-Din al-Qassam military wing of the Hamas terrorist organization, confirmed predictions by nationalists that the expulsion of 9,000 Jews from Gush Katif and the withdrawal of the IDF from the area would be followed by an escalation in missile attacks.

He admitted for the first time that Hamas was responsible for the massacre of young men, most of them teenagers, at the yeshiva. The attack was carried out by a Jerusalem Arab.


Obadiah also said Hamas was responsible for the murder of seven other Jews in attacks in the Hevron area and Samaria. He warned Israel that Hamas will continue to attack Israelis, who he said have to choose between “death and leaving Palestinian lands.” He also called on Israeli Bedouins, many of whom have been involved in terrorist attacks and arms smuggling, to help carry out attacks against Israelis.

His statistics on the number of missiles, rockets and mortar shells fired at southern Israel since the expulsion in 2005 thoroughly contradicted claims by the Sharon government and supporters of the “Disengagement” program that the withdrawal would led to peace. Sixty-nine percent of nearly 11,000 mortar and missile attacks were executed after the expulsion, according to his figures.

He also said that of the 1,808 Hamas terrorists killed since the founding of the terrorist group 23 years ago, 1,053 died after 2006, when Hamas won the first and only Palestinian Authority legislative elections.

Nearly 60% of those murdered by Hamas, were killed after Hamas became "the democratically elected government of Gaza."

Which is more insane--
That the media is right and Hamas are actually freedom fighters and we live in an age where freedom fighters brag about murdering kids.
Or that Hamas are terrorists who murder kids and the world says Israel should negotiate with them?

Usually, people who brag about killing innocent children are hunted down and either killed or put in prison.
Why is it different when the victims are Jews?
