Fed up with Hamas

Increasingly, the world – and not just the Western world – is learning to appreciate the challenges Israel faces in its war against Hamas’s autocratic terrorist regime.

Arabs nations of the region seem increasingly cognizant of the fact that the same reactionary, violent and anti-Semitic version of Islam that fuels Hamas’s aggression against Israel is the driving force behind the sectarian violence in Iraq, Syria and other parts of the Middle East, and they are fed up. It is beginning to dawn on them that Hamas’s brutal regime, which rules in accordance with a reactionary form of Islamic law that persecutes women, Christians and homosexuals and glorifies violent death, and holds captive Gaza’s population of 1.8 million, causing them incalculable suffering, is a danger to the wider Arab world.

Across the region Arabs and Muslims have grown disgusted with Islamist terrorists. They see the atrocities and massacres committed in the name of one stream of Islam or another in Iraq, Syria and elsewhere and they are filled with revulsion.
...
Arab nations are beginning to realize that not only the Palestinians of Gaza are suffering from the sorts of destructive policies instituted by Hamas, the entire region is, both Muslims and non-Muslims. Will this realization spread and give birth to a Muslim backlash against the violent, reactionary excesses of Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamic State and other Islamist terrorist groups? Only time will tell.

I have seen people posting
"Jewish History " straight from the pages of "Rense" without citing it , recently.

Compared with those extremist sources thankfully someone posts from jpost.
