This has always been the plan of Hamas, to bring unspeakable suffering to the Palestinian people in pursuit of their goal to wipe Israel off the map and kill every Israeli and Jew within their sight. Hamas believes that creating misery, anarchy, and destruction will enable them in achieving the dream of an extremist Islamic State.

It is terrible that people are suffering. Arab leaders must do all they can to stop Hamas from denying the people of Gaza the aid they need. The people of Gaza live under the tyranny of fanatics who are robbing them not only of their basic needs but are also robbing them of a future.

This war can stop by this afternoon. That decision rests with Hamas.
