The Unwavering Support for Hamas: A Moral Blind Spot

[Social Media]

 

The horrifying scenes emerging from Gaza have done little to deter the unwavering support Hamas continues to receive in the West. How difficult should it be to condemn a group responsible for the brutal murder of a baby and a toddler—strangling them, mutilating their bodies with rocks to stage an airstrike, and then parading their remains in locked coffins, surrounded by cheering crowds, with propaganda material stuffed around them?

 

 

 

Apparently, very difficult. The Prime Minister, despite his position, managed only a carefully worded response, saying he was “deeply saddened” by the deaths. His statement, however, notably avoided naming the perpetrators or outright condemning their barbaric actions.  

 

Yes, there really are people who are just plain evil. Every person who has ever chanted “from the river to the sea” should immediately denounce Hamas and apologize for being an accessory to pure wickedness

The Red Cross, which played a role in the macabre display of returning the bodies, similarly failed to hold the guilty accountable, issuing only a mild plea for “dignity and privacy.” Defenders of the organisation cite its need for neutrality, but that stance seems inconsistent when considering its frequent social media posts criticising Israel and lamenting conditions in Gaza.  

 

Amnesty International followed a predictable pattern, stating that “Hamas’s release of bodies of four Israeli hostages” was “a heartbreaking reminder of the urgent need to immediately release all civilian hostages and Palestinians arbitrarily detained.” The organisation’s ability to craft a statement that turns the murder of children into a broader political plea against Israel demonstrates the dark art of false equivalence, where lawful incarceration of jihadist murderers is equated with the slaughter of innocents.  

 

The United Nations' position was no less troubling. Rather than unequivocally condemning Hamas, UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese chose the day the bodies were returned to urge Spain to block American arms shipments to Israel.  

 

This reluctance to speak out against Hamas is not confined to the realm of international diplomacy or human rights organisations. It is also present in our own communities. Many reading this will likely know friends, colleagues, or acquaintances who have been outspoken about Palestinian suffering but have remained eerily silent when it comes to the grotesque slaughter of Jewish children and the desecration of their corpses.  

 

One of the most troubling aspects of this silence is the lack of condemnation from within British Islamic communities. In a discussion last week, a Muslim friend despaired in a text message, asking, “Which Imam in Britain called [Hamas] out?” Where, indeed, is the true moral voice of Islam in Britain? Where are the "not in my name" petitions?  

 

With Britain’s Muslim population growing, moderate voices must be a source of hope. Yet they are often subjected to intimidation and immense social pressure, making them far fewer in number than one might expect. A poll conducted last March found that 46% of British Muslims sympathise with Hamas—a figure identical to the percentage who believe that Jews wield too much power over government policy.  

 

If the atrocities of October 7 taught us anything, it is that ignoring a problem does not make it disappear. Eventually, the enemy will find a way through the fence, and then it will be too late. It is imperative to support those who uphold our shared values while confronting and rejecting the quiet endorsement of Hamas, so easily recognised in the silence of its sympathisers.

Hamas are the monsters that have willingly caused the deaths of so many Palastinians.

It's not only the British Islamic communities, it's all of them. The silent majority stays silent. They stay silent for a reason! The "river to the sea" crowd are the biggest fools.

False premise of the op. There is no unwavering support of hamas.

Its not a moral blind spot. Its pure, unbridled jew hatred, National Socialist style. They have no morals.

 

Here is my premise. If you support, in any fashion any Muslim terrorism, you are an eliminationist anti semite.

It’s an accusation that is frequently leveled against anyone who supports the rights of Palestinians and an end to the war.

Does this means there are witnesses who are able to testify about what they saw?

Really? Do you deliberately have your head in the sand to the Hamas supporters? 

 

Dr. Mennah Elwan, a 34-year-old neurology specialist, had her leave to remain revoked by then-Home Secretary James Cleverly after she posted comments on social media that were deemed to glorify Hamas’ deadly attack on Israeli civilians on October 7.

   It sort of does .

If you want Israel to end the war against Hamas in Gaza , then you are supporting Hamas and their future terror attacks on Israel

Future terror attackes on Israel will not stop even if Israel can completely eliminate Hamas. A peace solution is needed and it is not about more killings on both sides.

Hamas don't want a peace solution they want more of the same. There will never be peace while they are still in Gaza.

 

Hamas’s top negotiator in the ceasefire and hostage talks said despite suing for an end to the war, the group would continue to pursue Israel’s destruction, looking toward Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque as a “compass.”

   Terror attacks on Israel may not completely stop, but wiping out Hamas will diminish the amount of terror attacks .

   Hamas need to be held responsible for the Oct 7 th terror attack and they need to be bought to justice for their crimes .

   But Palestinians will always keep attacking Israel and the solution is the Palestinians to be moved away from the area , moving them to Russia could be the solution

Or the Israelis could just give them their land back. Back to the 1948 borders?

How's that for a peaceful solution?

Let's see if I'm labelled a Troll for a mere suggestion of what could bring peace. Dignity for both sides.

Israel has the ear of Western main-stream media, so therefore, whatever they say is true is true.
Palestinians and Levant Arabs don't have the ear of Western main-stream media, so therefore, whatever they say is true is false.

   Neither side would agree to that .

Its not a solution if neither side would comply with it .

Its a suggestion that both sides would say No to

You cant wipe out an ideology. Others will simply take over. The 15 months war has only hardened the minds and soul of the Palestine people against Israel. PLA must take over Gaza and it is a political process. Ethnic cleansing by Trump is a horrendous and illegal proposition. Anyway he is a disaster in all his foreign policies.

   That must be satire .

The Western media unanimously reports on Hamas lies and report their lies as being factual
