"In this injunction in Article Seven of the Hamas Covenant, ratified in 1988, one finds the reason for the invasion of Israel that began on October 7.
Hamas does not merely seek the extermination of Jews.

Why So Many ‘Tolerant’ People Are Actually the Opposite

The Incredible Lightness of Barack Obama - Victor Davis Hanson @VDHanson"Joe Biden is caught in a quadfecta of
- corruption,
- cognitive decline,
- a failed agenda, and
- eroding polls.
