In recent times, it’s hard to find a group that has shown more disregard for human life, or a group that is more evil than Hamas.
The shocking violence between Israel and this Gaza-based organization tells us a troubling truth that should concern us all, regardless of our political leanings.
Just last week, Hamas militants brutally slaughtered over 1,300 innocent Israeli civilians.
This horrifying act of evil led Israel to prepare a military offensive in northern Gaza. But here’s where the two sides show their true colors and how different they are from each other.
Unlike Hamas, Israel took a remarkable step: It warned Palestinian civilians to get out of harm’s way. “Our war is not with the people of Gaza,” an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson made clear.
This shows a clear difference between how Israel and Hamas view the importance of human life.
Conservatives cherish the idea that every life is valuable. Israel’s move to warn civilians aligns with this principle.
It’s not just about following international war rules; it’s about not wanting to hurt innocent people.
In stark contrast, Hamas has told its people to ignore these warnings and has even set up roadblocks to keep them from leaving dangerous areas.
Israel’s Foreign Ministry presented evidence, including satellite photos, to prove this.
So, what does this tell us about Hamas? If they claim to represent Palestinians, why put their own people in danger?
The unsettling truth, as noted by the IDF, is that for Hamas, these civilians are “more valuable dead than alive.”
In simpler terms, Hamas uses the death of its own people to gain international sympathy and to paint Israel as the villain—ignoring the well-being of the very people it claims to represent.
This is not just a poor strategy; it’s utterly wrong. To knowingly put your own people at risk for political points is a betrayal of trust and basic human decency.
It shows that Hamas operates beyond what any of us would consider morally acceptable.
They use human suffering to their advantage, hoping the international community will turn against Israel and support their cause.
Conservatives value life and individual freedom. When a group like Hamas disregards these principles, endangering both Israeli and Palestinian civilians, it’s not just an opponent on a battlefield. It’s a force of clear evil that goes against the values we hold dear.
No one who cares about right and wrong—whether conservative, liberal, or somewhere in between—can ignore the evil acts of Hamas.
It’s not just a violation of international law; it’s a violation of basic human decency.
As people who believe in the value of life and individual rights, we must stand strongly against this.
Hamas is not just a threat to Israel or Palestinians; it’s a threat to the principles that make us human.
