Dennis Prager examines how Hamas and Hezbollah celebrate death and violence, citing the Hamas motto 'we love death as much as the Jews love life' and describing how parents reward children who carry out suicide attacks. He references an Imam's speech comparing Hamas leader Haniyeh to American Revolution figures and a Dearborn vigil where participants chanted slogans praising death to Israel.
Well, you know, I told you this probably 20 years ago, that one of the mottos of Hamas is, we love death as much as the Jews love life. They're death lovers. Yeah. Parents celebrate when their kids blow themselves up in order to kill Jews. They celebrate. They hand out candy. Imam Raed al-Sawair of Washington State's Pullman Islamic Center compared Haniyeh to the American revolutionaries of 1776 while calling for the annihilation of, quote, the plundering Zionists. Count them one by one, he said. Scatter them. Do not spare a single one of them. In Dearborn, Michigan, local religious leaders and activists staged the September 29th vigil for Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Killed 2 days earlier in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut. Attendees chanted, "We heed your call, O Nasrallah, death to Israel," and "Khaybar, Khaybar, O Jews, the army of Muhammad will return," a reference to a 7th-century slaughter of Jews in what is now Saudi Arabia. Hezbollah has branded its retaliatory strikes against Israel Operation Khaybar. Okay, that's, that's what we're dealing with, my dear friends. The human condition, the lack of desire to acknowledge evil.
