Heeding David Littman: Confronting Hamas’ Genocidal Jew-Hatred (Part 2)

David Littman, a hero’s hero, has spent decades working at the UN trying to get people to pay attention to this genocidal covenant – Hamas Charter.To his enormous credit. The charter came out Hamas charter in 1988 – and David Littman was already in front of the UN humans right commision in January 1989 protesting it.

AN UNSUNG HERO. I interviewed back in the summer of 2007,  listen here.

Here was a David! When comes such another?

Heeding David Littman: Confronting Hamas’ Genocidal Jew-Hatred (Part 2) Dr Andrew Bostom.

Continued from Part 1

Jihad is the other pillar of Hamas’ foundational Jew-annihilationist ideology featured in the 1988 Covenant.
Once again, this is already suggested in the opening statement before
the preamble which includes the following quote by Hasan al-Banna,
founder of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood: “Israel will exist, and
will continue to exist, until Islam abolishes it, as it abolished that
which was before it.” Hamas, it should be noted, claims to be a wing of the International Muslim Brotherhood. >Article
2 of the Hamas Charter, for example, states: “The Islamic Resistance
Movement is one of the wings of Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine. The
Muslim Brotherhood Movement is a universal organisation which
constitutes the largest Islamic movement in modern times.”

 

But the body of the >Hamas Covenant
includes unequivocal statements of Hamas’ irredentist commitment to the
annihilation of Israel via jihad. Jihad martyrdom is lauded in article
8 “the Hamas slogan,” (in fact borrowed from the 1928 Charter of the
Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood), which states, “Allah
is its target, the Prophet is its model, the Koran its Constitution;
Jihad is its path, and death for the sake of Allah is the loftiest of
its wishes.” Article 13 makes plain that Hamas’ jihadism is completely
incompatible with any meaningful Middle East peace settlement:

 

Initiatives,
and so-called peaceful solutions and international conferences, are in
contradiction to the principles of the Islamic Resistance Movement.
Abusing any part of Palestine is abuse against part of religion.
Nationalism of the Islamic Resistance Movement is part of its religion.
Its members have been fed on that…There is no solution to the
Palestinian question except by Jihad. All initiatives, proposals, and
International Conferences are a waste of time and vain endeavors.

And
article 15 (subtitled, “Jihad for the Liberation of Palestine is a
Personal Duty”) elucidates classical jihadist theory, as well as its
practical modern application to the destruction of Israel by jihad:

 

The
day the enemies conquer some part of the Muslim land, jihad becomes a
personal duty of every Muslim. In the face of the Jewish occupation of
Palestine, it is necessary to raise the banner of jihad. This requires
the propagation of Islamic consciousness among the masses, locally [in
Palestine], in the Arab world and in the Islamic world. It is necessary
to instill the spirit of jihad in the nation, engage the enemies and
join the ranks of the jihad fighters. The indoctrination campaign must
involve ulama, educators, teachers and information and media experts,
as well as all intellectuals, especially the young people and the
sheikhs of Islamic movements…

 

It
is necessary to establish in the minds of all the Muslim generations
that the Palestinian issue is a religious issue, and that it must be
dealt with as such, for [Palestine] contains Islamic holy places,
[namely] the Al-Aqsa mosque, which is inseparably connected, for as
long as heaven and earth shall endure, to the holy mosque of Mecca
through the Prophet’s nocturnal journey [from the mosque of Mecca to
the Al-Aqsa mosque] and through his ascension to heaven thence. “Being
stationed on the frontier for the sake of Allah for one day is better
than this [entire] world and everything in it; and the place taken up
in paradise by the [horseman’s] whip of any one of you [jihad fighters]
is better than this [entire] world and everything in it. Every evening
[operation] and morning [operation] performed by Muslims for the sake
of Allah is better than this [entire] world and everything in it.”
(Recorded in the Hadith collections of Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidhi and
Ibn Maja). “By the name of Him who holds Muhammad’s soul in His hand, I
wish to launch an attack for the sake of Allah and be killed and attack
again and be killed and attack again and be killed.” (Recorded in the
Hadith collections of Bukhari and Muslim)

Unfortunately,
Hamas’ views on the jihad against Israel, and Islamic Jew hatred, are
entirely concordant with those of the most authoritative religious
educational institution within Sunni Islam—Al Azhar University, in
Cairo, Egypt. Consider a fatwa written January 5, 1956 by then Grand
Mufti of Egypt, Sheikh Hasan Ma’moun, and signed by the leading members
of the Fatwa Committee of Al Azhar, and the major representatives of
all four Sunni Islamic schools of jurisprudence. [English translation
from State Department Telegram 1763/ Embassy (Cairo) Telegram 1256
D441214] This ruling elaborated the following key initial point: that
all of historical Palestine having been conquered by jihad, was a
permanent possession of the global Muslim umma (community), “fay
territory” (booty/spoils), to be governed by Islamic Law. The January,
1956 Al Azhar fatwa’s language and arguments are indistinguishable from
those employed by Hamas (in its Covenant), revealing the same conjoined motivations of jihad, and conspiratorial Islamic Jew hatred:

Muslims
cannot conclude peace with those Jews who have usurped the territory of
Palestine and attacked its people and their property in any manner which allows the Jews to continue as a state in that sacred Muslim territory.

 

[as]
Jews have taken a part of Palestine and there established their
non-Islamic government and have also evacuated from that part most of
its Muslim inhabitants… Jihad… to restore the country to its people..
is the duty of all Muslims, not just those who can undertake it. And
since all Islamic countries constitute the abode of every Muslim, the
Jihad is imperative for both the Muslims inhabiting the territory
attacked, and Muslims everywhere else because even though some sections
have not been attacked directly, the attack nevertheless took place on
a part of the Muslim territory which is a legitimate residence for any
Muslim.

 

>Everyone
knows that from the early days of Islam to the present day the Jews
have been plotting against Islam and Muslims and the Islamic homeland.
They do not propose to be content with the attack they made on
Palestine and Al Aqsa Mosque, but they plan for the possession of all
Islamic territories from the Nile to the Euphrates.
