The world is watching Hamas publicly residents of Gaza while so many in the West parrot claims of Israeli genocide. Hamas fighters lined up blindfolded men and shot them in the streets, calling it part of a “transitional phase.” This isn’t some outlier. It’s baked into their DNA. Across the globe to the West, irate mobs line the streets of major cities chanting “from the river to the sea.” They imply that Israel commits genocide while at the same time advocating for the genocide of all Israelis. These demonstrators are propping up a terrorist group that’s now executing the very people who once supported it. It is the modern example of the foundation of Islam: kill, steal and destroy. Actions are speaking much louder than their words.
The numbers tell a story. According to the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research, in December 2023, 71% of Palestinians said Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel was the “correct decision.” Hamas was riding high, portrayed as the spearhead of a “resistance.” Fast forward to May 2025: PCPSR found 50% of those surveyed in Gaza and what is identified as the West Bank still believed the attack on Israel was correct. That is a significant drop in less than two years. The same people who once cheered are now watching their neighbors get executed in the streets. It’s one thing to romanticize “resistance” from afar. It’s another to live under its gun. But the reality remains that 51% of those surveyed still blame Israel for their current suffering, and another 22% blame the United States. Only 18% in Gaza blame Hamas for their suffering.
These numbers reflect the tradition of Islam. No matter how Hamas treats those it rules, the mindset is against Jews and Christians first and foremost, even blaming non-Islam when their own rulers turn against them. This behavior isn’t new. Islam has a long record of turning its swords inward when it’s not killing Jews or Christians. The Sunni–Shia split began as a power struggle after Muhammad’s death in the 7th century and has fueled conflict across Iraq, Syria, and Yemen for centuries. Islamic movements built on armed dominance don’t evolve into peace-loving neighbors. They consolidate power through bloodshed. Hamas is no different. They’re not freedom fighters. They’re jailers with rifles, killing to hold on to power in the absence of external war. And for some demonic reason, those they are killing still blame someone else.
And this is where brilliance meets stupidocrisy. Donald Trump understood Hamas’ nature. He negotiated for the return of hostages likely knowing full well that Hamas would rearm the moment the ink dried. That’s not naïve. That’s strategic realism. Meanwhile, those still insisting Hamas will lay down its arms are chasing unicorns through a war zone. As is said in Proverbs 22:3, “The wise man foresees evil and hides himself, but the simple pass on and are punished.” History, ideology, and cold numbers all point one way. Hamas kills. Hamas lies. Hamas will burn down its own house before surrendering power in the pattern of Islam. And Israel will be forced to finish what Hamas started. It was brilliant negotiating the hostages return. To think Hamas or Islam will end violence against Israel, or even itself, is, say it with me…Stupidocrisy.
