Historical ignorance and willful blindness are driving pro-Hamas demonstrations
From retired Canadian publisher Robert Roth
By Robert Roth
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” – George Santayana, The Life of Reason, 1905.
The frightening increase in so-called “pro-Palestinian” demonstrations throughout the world in recent weeks – particularly on university campuses in both Canada and the United States – is a frightening indicator of how current generations have failed to heed Santayana’s warning.
I say “so-called” pro-Palestinian demonstrations because the governing authority in Gaza is Hamas – a ruthless, terrorist, neo-Nazi organization willingly put into office by the people of Gaza in a free election. In this context, to be pro-Palestinian is to be pro-Hamas.
Israel, like any nation, is not flawless and should not be above scrutiny. But, on balance, there should be no question as to which side we should be backing in the current Israel-Hamas war. The former is a liberal democracy and our staunchest ally in the Middle East. Contrastingly, Hamas is one of the many fanatical Islamist terrorist organizations existing today that seek to not only exterminate Israel, but to replace liberal democracies with fanatical, patriarchal, anti-LGBT, authoritarian theocracies based on a 7th century fundamentalist interpretation of the Quran.
In short, we are involved in an existential struggle between fanatical theocratic totalitarianism and Western democracy. And, as the campus protests disturbingly demonstrate, many of our children are dangerously on the wrong side in that clash of values.
What is just as incomprehensible is that university faculty lounges, high school teachers’ common rooms and trade union halls have also become bastions of the bamboozled in this pitched battle over the survival of liberal democracy.
Thus, because we live in an age where people spend more time in tattoo parlours than libraries, it becomes necessary to revisit Santayana’s sage counsel by blowing the dust off some history books.
Hamas’s Nazi roots
One of the best sources I have found summarizing Hamas’s Nazi roots is Terry Glavin, a seasoned researcher and columnist with the National Post and Ottawa Citizen. I give credit to him for some of the information in the following five paragraphs.
Hamas is the “Islamic Resistance Movement” established by the Palestinian Sheikh Ahmed Yassin in the 1980s as a Palestinian wing of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, itself listed by Egypt and others as a terrorist organization.
In the heyday of the Third Reich, the Muslim Brotherhood’s Nazi connections were blatant.
To quote Glavin: “Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh is the direct organizational heir and successor of the Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, Adolf Hitler’s chief Arab ally during the Second World War. Al-Husseini was already inciting pogroms against the Jews in the 1920s from Hebron in the south to Sefat in the north, two decades before the State of Israel was established.”
That historical tidbit demolishes the false premise that the sole cause of today’s conflict is the creation of the “settler” State of Israel in 1948. The roots of Jew hatred go much deeper than that.
As Glavin notes, there were “1920s-era massacres of Jews, and ever since, the antisemitic incitement has been routinely weaponized to deadly effect by Hamas, by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad organization and by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, especially the PFLP’s Canadian base.”
Mirror image: Hitler’s 1932 election, Hamas’s 2006 election
The parallel between what is happening in Gaza and what happened in Nazi Europe in the 1930s is astounding.
In an election in 1932, the German people gave Hitler’s Nazi party – unabashed Jew haters – the largest bloc of seats in the Reichstag (parliament). That led to Hitler becoming chancellor of Germany. He then seized total power, killed off his opposition and eliminated elections. Despite his authoritarianism, he retained popular support among the German people. Organized internal resistance to his rule was insignificant until late in the war when army officers led by Claus Von Stauffenberg failed in their attempted coup.
In an election in 2006, aimed at maintaining some autonomy for Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank alongside the State of Israel, the Palestinians gave Hamas – unabashed Jew haters – the largest bloc of seats. This election came after Israel withdrew its troops from Gaza in 2005. (Israel had occupied Gaza and the West Bank after taking the land in a war of self-defence after Egypt, Jordan and Syria mobilized their forces against Israel in 1967.) In addition to withdrawing its troops from Gaza in 2005, Israel also forcibly removed all 21 Jewish settlements in Gaza that had been established there over the years. In some cases, Israel had to use force to move Jews out of their homes in Gaza in order to meet the terms of the peace agreement. In the Palestinian election of 2006, two major parties competed – Hamas, a theocratically based party that advocated wiping out the entire Jewish State of Israel, and the secular Fatah party, while far from saintly, that supported a two-state solution for Palestine that would allow Israel to exist alongside a Palestinian state. Hamas – on record as wanting to destroy Israel – won the Palestinian election taking 74 of the 132 seats with 44.45% of the popular vote, compared to Fatah’s 45 seats and 41.43% of the popular vote.
So, to be blunt about it, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians voted for a party advocating annihilation of the Jews. To this day, people debate why Palestinians voted that way and how much they support Hamas, but there can be no moral escape hatch from the net effect of that election, which was to put a terrorist, genocidal organization in power in the name of the Palestinian people. Gazans, in particular, have yet to renounce that decision. Instead, Hamas has flourished in that region and maintained a perpetual reign of terror against Israel and other democratic nations.
Who are the “innocent civilians?”
The 2006 Gaza election puts some context to the notion of “innocent civilians.” It also puts a wrinkle in the contention that we must distinguish between “Hamas” and “Palestinians” when, in fact, thousands of them are one in the same. Distinguishing between the good guys and the bad guys, therefore, becomes a strategic impossibility.
As in Germany, the winning Hamas party, after its election in 2006, literally killed off its Fatah opposition in Gaza and seized total control over that area. Israel intervened to stop any Hamas takeover of the West Bank, while the United States immediately halted foreign aid funding to the Hamas-led Palestinian government. U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice bluntly declared: “The United States is not prepared to fund an organization that advocates the destruction of Israel, that advocates violence and that refuses its obligations under the roadmap to which everyone is committed." In other words, given a chance for peace and world-wide support, Palestinians instead voted to shoot themselves in the foot – and Israel in the head.
We are still waiting for Gazans to produce a Claus Von Stauffenberg. Thus, to draw upon an old 60s slogan: If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem – particularly if atrocities are being committed in your name by a group you brought into power or are tacitly supporting through non-resistance.
Hamas’s 1988 Covenant exposes its depraved, homicidal antisemitism
As we put more context to the “innocent civilians” shibboleth, let there be no mistake that Hamas’s rabid antisemitism and genocidal goals were well documented before the 2006 Gazan election. Hamas’s blood curdling 1988 manifesto even surpasses Hitler’s Mein Kampf in its hysterical delusions and viciousness. The document is readily accessible at a number of places, including the Yale University Law School website, but too many Canadians, Americans and other Westerners are simply ignorant of the document or choose to be willfully blind. The Covenant bluntly declares:
"Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it."
That’s what the Hamas slogan, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” means – obliterating Israel. The terrorist group makes it clear that they want to replace Israel with a Muslim state running from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. Attempts to obfuscate the true meaning of that oft-chanted slogan is one of the dull tools used in the propaganda war against Israel.
To expose the total depravity of Hamas, you need only view Article Twenty-Two of the Hamas founding Covenant, which is so ludicrously conspiratorial about the Jews that it actually denounces Rotary Clubs and Lions Clubs as devices for world-wide Jewish domination. Article Twenty-Two is nothing short of a carbon copy of the same nonsensical, Jew-berating rhetoric the German Nazis used to justify the Holocaust.
Hamas Covenant: Article Twenty-Two:
“For a long time, the enemies have been planning, skillfully and with precision, for the achievement of what they have attained. They took into consideration the causes affecting the current of events. They strived to amass great and substantive material wealth which they devoted to the realisation of their dream. With their money, they took control of the world media, news agencies, the press, publishing houses, broadcasting stations, and others. With their money they stirred revolutions in various parts of the world with the purpose of achieving their interests and reaping the fruit therein. They were behind the French Revolution, the Communist revolution and most of the revolutions we heard and hear about, here and there. With their money they formed secret societies, such as Freemasons, Rotary Clubs, the Lions and others in different parts of the world for the purpose of sabotaging societies and achieving Zionist interests. With their money they were able to control imperialistic countries and instigate them to colonize many countries in order to enable them to exploit their resources and spread corruption there.
“You may speak as much as you want about regional and world wars. They were behind World War I, when they were able to destroy the Islamic Caliphate, making financial gains and controlling resources. They obtained the Balfour Declaration, formed the League of Nations through which they could rule the world. They were behind World War II, through which they made huge financial gains by trading in armaments, and paved the way for the establishment of their state. It was they who instigated the replacement of the League of Nations with the United Nations and the Security Council to enable them to rule the world through them. There is no war going on anywhere, without having their finger in it.”
These are the lunatics to whom the “pro-Palestinian” demonstrators are providing succor.
What more will it take for Hamas’s campus cronies to realize they are supporting the vilest values that have ever pockmarked the face of civilization. The students’ ancestors fought and died to rid us of such Naziism. Given this overwhelming, documented evidence of Hamas’s true nature and intent, students chanting “Free Palestine” might as well be chanting “Sieg Heil.”
And, despite the propaganda efforts of Hamas apologists, the puss of antisemitism continues to ooze out of these infectious demonstrations as noted in a CBC report on Apr. 29 where McGill university officials cited video evidence of some campus demonstrators “using unequivocally antisemitic language and intimidating behaviour.”
A “ceasefire” with Nazis is not the solution
To call for a ceasefire, other than a strategic, short-term pause to facilitate the release of hostages, is to expand the “humanitarian crisis” in the Middle East by dooming more “innocent civilians” – both Palestinian and Israeli – to perpetual war.
It can, indeed, be argued that children, in particular, are true “innocents” in the current conflict, but the nature of modern warfare is such that civilian casualties are unavoidable – and particularly so when the enemy embeds itself in schools, hospitals and residential neighbourhoods, using its own people as human shields.
It is also a sad reality that children born into a world of antisemitic, anti-democratic and religiously extremist propaganda simply grow up to be the next generation of irrational “true believers” and “beloved martyrs.” Like the Hitler youth of bygone days, Gaza children are indoctrinated as soon as they get out of their high chairs and they become the next front line of Jew haters, suicide bombers and baby killers. The young jihadists who tortured, raped, mutilated and killed 1,200 unsuspecting people in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, are precisely among the post-2006 children once considered “innocent.” But, under the tutelage of Hamas, they grew up to become butchers.
What we are seeing in Hamas-ruled Gaza is a classic case of history repeating itself. The “innocent children” in 1930s Germany became the vicious Hitler Youth Panzer Division that committed a number of war crimes right up to the Battle of the Bulge, the final Nazi offensive during the winter of 1944-45. Similarly, the “innocent children” of 1930s Japan became the kamikaze pilots that death-dove into American ships starting with the Battle of Leyte Gulf in1944.
Frankly, the only way to stop the nightmarish cycle of recurring generations of jihadists in Gaza is to shut down the Hamas Hitler-style youth clubs, which is precisely what Israel is now trying to do. And, yes, it will be messy. The naïve notion that you can somehow fight a war humanely is the mother of all oxymorons. War is not a Nintendo game. In the long run, eliminating Hamas will save lives.
Again, let’s look at historical parallels by putting the Israeli counterattack in the context of our own Allied efforts against the Nazis in World War 2. Unlike Israel, which selectively targets specific buildings, we carpet bombed entire cities day and night, turning them into gigantic funeral pyres. In Dresden alone, the firestorm created by a two-day bombing campaign from Feb. 13 to 15, 1945, killed 25,000 people, which included thousands of “innocent” women and children.
Similarly, a bombing raid over Tokyo during the single night of March 9/10, 1945, created a firestorm that killed an estimated 100,000 people and left one million homeless. Then we dropped the atomic bomb. Tens of thousands of “innocent” women and children died in each of those attacks.
During those World War 2 years, there were no massive pro-Nazi demonstrations in Canada and the United States involving thousands of people storming into the streets screaming, “Ceasefire now!” We knew that such an acquiescent posture would simply allow the SS and kamikazes to regroup and rearm. Nor did we send “humanitarian aid” to the cities we were decimating, thereby relieving the Nazi Party of such moral obligations and allowing them to instead direct their resources to the building of more V2 rockets so they could continue firebombing London.
(All of this, of course, again raises the salient philosophical question of whether you are truly “innocent” if you overtly or tacitly support a murderous government.)
In reality, calls for a long-term ceasefire in Gaza are a recipe for dragging out the humanitarian crisis even more, rather than ending the suffering quickly by crushing its originators. The humanitarian crisis caused by Hamas will only end when Hamas ends. Let’s get on with it.
Israel’s measured, defensive war versus Hamas fighters’ joy in killing
Whatever shortcomings are involved in Israel’s conduct of the war – and one can entertain some legitimate criticisms – they pale in comparison to the fanatical, torturing, bloodthirsty behaviour that Hamas fighters displayed in their Oct. 7 attack on Israeli civilians, the infamous incident that sparked Israel’s retaliatory act of self-defence. No informed, rational, objective observer can possibly view these contrasting behaviours without recognizing the qualitative difference in civilized behaviour and values between the Israeli Defence Forces and Hamas’s mirthful murderers. Read the independent, third-party accounts below and ask yourself if you really want these “pro-Palestinian” fanatics in power in any country.
Rosie DiManno, a long-time Toronto Star columnist, has viewed videos from Oct. 7 – including those produced by Hamas fighters themselves for propaganda purposes – and was stunned at the “soul crushing” barbarism. Here are some Hamas fighters’ quotes from her Nov. 6, 2023, column:
“Dad, look at your WhatsApp. See how many I killed with my bare hands, Dad. Your son killed the Jews … I killed ten with my bare hands. Their blood is on my hands … I’m talking to you from a Jewish woman’s phone.”
“Let history be my witness that this was the first man I killed. The first one. A Jew. Give me a knife, give me a knife. I swear to God I will cut off his head. Bring it!”
A stalker, entering a Jewish home, searching stealthily: “How many? Two? Turn on the light. Be patient … Oh, you dogs.”
“Come, this one’s alive. Look at the camera, look at the camera, this one’s alive. Come, pull him by the hair, brother.”
The mother of a jihadist pleads with her fighter son, “Enough, come back.” He responds: “Come back? There’s no coming back. It’s victory or martyr’s death.”
“He’s dead,” one militant tells another, kicking at a body, pounding his foot into the man’s face. “Bring him and hang him,” responds his comrade.
DiManno also notes there is “a shot to the head of a baby in its crib, a toddler set aflame, charred, a youngster’s torso severed from its limbs. And not just children of course, though there was no mercy granted them, but teenage girls raped, defiled, a garden hoe used to decapitate a young man, a father trying to shelter his young sons in a shed, incinerated by a grenade tossed through the door from three feet away.”
DiManno hits the nail on the head when she sums up the difference between Jewish children slaughtered by Hamas on Oct. 7 and Palestinian children killed or wounded by Israeli bombs in the counterattack afterwards:
“One is deliberate murder, the other is a horrific consequence of war…. This is not about Palestinian deaths versus Israeli deaths. It is, rather, about the evils of terrorism, of blood lust, and finding joy in the death of the reviled other.”
In other words, the Hamas fanatics actually enjoyed murdering people. They revelled in it. After seeing the video, DiManno cannot get over “the glee of the plundering, pillaging Hamas attackers…. On cellphones, with body cameras, even livestreaming the atrocities, the invaders documented it, they thrilled to it…. I have covered wars. I have covered suicide attacks. But this is in its own circle of hell.”
And her reaction to the “pro-Palestinian” demonstrations that immediately followed such depravity – even before the Israeli counterattack?
“Lord knows how anyone can take pleasure, can take pride, in such depravity, all their humanity wrung out of them. Or how anyone can defend it, rationalize it, glorify it.”
(Well, Rosie, at one recent demonstration in Canada, a collaborating cretin with a bullhorn bellowed: “Long live Oct. 7.” That’s how deep into decadence we have sunk.)
As for ceasefires, DiManno points out that “Hamas, designated a terrorist group by Canada, by the United States, by the EU, has broken ceasefires – with Israel and with their archrival Palestinian Authority – in 2006 … 2011 … 2014 … 2018 … 2021.”
If all of the above does not convince you of the qualitative difference between Israel and Hamas, you can review the New York Times report, published Dec. 4, 2023, of how Hamas methodically used sexual mutilation as a weapon of war in its Oct. 7 massacre.
Some women were so brutally raped and mutilated by Hamas that their vaginas contained nails and their pelvic bones were broken.
I will share a few excerpts from the New York Times article:
“The body of one woman had ‘nails and different objects in her female organs.’ In another house, a person’s genitals were so mutilated that ‘we couldn’t identify if it was a man or a woman.’ ”
“Shari Mendes, a member of an Israeli military reserve unit tasked with preparing the bodies of fallen female soldiers for burial, said her team saw several who were killed on Oct. 7 ‘who were shot in the crotch, intimate parts, vagina, or were shot in the breast.’ Others had mutilated faces, or multiple gunshots to their heads.”
“… ample evidence has been collected, like the bodies of women found partially or fully naked, women with their pelvic bones broken, the accounts of medical examiners and first responders, videos taken by Hamas fighters themselves, and even a few firsthand witnesses like a woman, in a video made public last month by police officials, who said she had watched Hamas terrorists take turns raping a young woman they had captured at a music festival, mutilate her and then shoot her in the head.”
How can such pure evil be dignified as the expression of a noble, anti-colonial “resistance movement?”
As DiManno suggested last November, “As soul-crushing as it is to watch, this is what I wish: That the footage be publicly shown on giant screens in every city, every town, around the world, at Nathan Phillips Square and at the corner of University and Dundas, where tens of thousands demonstrated against Israel on the weekend.”
But, of course, such widespread dissemination of the video never happened.
These atrocious acts of Hamas/Palestinian barbarism are so vile that mainstream media won’t show them. It is profoundly ironic that the worse the atrocity, the less coverage it gets. So, instead of getting photos or footage of Hamas terrorists embedding nails in women’s vaginas, we get photos of cute Palestinian children in bandages after shrapnel from an Israeli bomb inadvertently hits them. That’s how distortion gets created. That’s how bias gets created. That’s how ignorance gets created. And that’s how misguided protests get created.
Terrorist Islamist fundamentalism is the threat of the century
Islamist religious fanatics are committed to undermining virtually every civilized liberal democratic value we have striven to enshrine over the centuries and replacing them with a barbaric, autocratic, Islamist-based tyranny.
If our duped dewy-eyed demonstrators would take the time to review the terrorist list on Public Safety Canada, they might fully appreciate that they are lending support to a broad, international movement of religious extremists dedicated to the overthrow of the very democratic values that allow non-conformists to demonstrate in the first place – Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Houthi in Yemen, Taliban in Afghanistan, Boko Haram in Nigeria, Armed Islamic Group in Algeria, Al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, Al Shabaab in Somalia, Ansar Dine in Mali, Harakat ul-Mujahidin in Pakistan, ISIS in Iraq and Syria, Islamic State in Bangladesh, Islamic State in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Islamic State in the Philippines, Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa, Jemaah Islamiyah in Indonesia, etc., etc. etc. The list goes on.
For students in democratic nations to demonstrate in support of this international, terrorist, theocratic, autocratic movement is beyond bizarre.
Bereft of both historical knowledge and critical analysis skills, our students have become unwitting pawns in Hamas’s chess game of deception. To do this, Hamas and its hoodwinked handmaidens concoct a number of fictions while playing out the age-old technique of scapegoating the Jews.
The Jews as colonial “settlers” accusation.
How far back does one go to determine settler status? Jewish roots to the region go back to Biblical days and, despite the pogroms over the centuries, Jews have always had a presence in the Middle East. In 1948 – after Germany and other complicit, collaborating European nations tried to annihilate every Jew on the continent – the United Nations endorsed giving Jews a “safe space” through statehood in British controlled Palestine, the Jews’ ancient homeland. At that time, the UN proposed two new states – a Jewish state and a Palestinian state for the region. Frankly, there was enough room for both groups. Israel endorsed the two-state concept. The adjacent Arab nations rejected it and, instead, immediately attacked Israel (and it would not be the last time). Given that the Jews, only a few years previously, had just watched six million of their compatriots rounded up, gassed and incinerated, you might expect that they would fight back for the tiny sliver of parched earth that the rest of the world had now so generously allowed them to occupy. They did, and they won.
(It is worth pausing here to note that while it is popular to simply blame Germany for the Holocaust, much of Europe was complicit, e.g., Austria joined the Nazis; Vichy France collaborated by rounding up Jews; Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria all had pro-Nazi governments; there were Ukrainian guards at Auschwitz; and the Waffen SS was full of citizens from various European countries. Add to that the fact that both Canada and the United States turned back Jewish refugees during the 1930s and the full extent of world-wide antisemitism can be fully understood. Equally understood is the Jewish resolve in 1948 to hang onto any scrap of land where they could be secure from persecution and death.)
The current war in Gaza is simply the latest consequence of Islamist extremists’ refusal to accept the reality of Israel and embrace the prospect of a peaceful, two-state solution to this 75-year-old conflict. As already noted, the thanks Israel received for withdrawing its troops from Gaza in 2005 was the kick in the groin exemplified by the election in 2006 of the genocidal Hamas party followed by continuous rocket fire onto Israeli cities. Over the years, Hamas has fired literally thousands of rockets onto civilian sites in Israel, followed by the Oct. 7 massacre. As of today, Hamas continues to fire rockets into Israel – as do some of the Islamist groups named above, as well as Iran. Enough is enough, already.
The phony “siege” accusations
Indeed, Israel has restricted its borders with Gaza. You’d put up a fence, too, if your next-door neighbor wanted to chop off your head. The wisdom of doing this is bolstered by the fact that Egypt has also blockaded its border with Gaza, but you won’t hear many diatribes against Egypt about why they won’t let their Muslim brothers and sisters into the country. As far as Egypt is concerned, guess who’s not coming to dinner. Both Israel and Egypt (which has a peace treaty with Israel), blockade Gaza in order to isolate Hamas and prevent the smuggling of weapons into Gaza.
The ridiculous “apartheid” accusations
Comparisons to the apartheid policies of the former, white South African government, which separated people based on colour, are preposterous. Even though a Jewish state, Israel has granted citizenship to almost two million Arabs and, despite what critics may say, they enjoy more rights than their colleagues in some nearby Muslim-ruled territories where gay people, for instance, are routinely jailed or put to death. You will also recall the recent incident in Iran – chief funder of Hamas terrorism -- where a woman died in the custody of the Iranian morality police after she was arrested for “improperly” wearing her hijab.
Those are the kinds of villainous values that pro-Hamas/Palestinian demonstrators are implicitly promoting.
The outrageous “genocide” accusations
The way some Canadian “progressives” bandy about the word “genocide” these days is an offence to the millions of Jews who were annihilated during World War 2. Every atrocity is not a “genocide.” Any nation wishing to commit genocide would not send incubators to the Al Shifa hospital to save premature babies who are being used as human shields by Hamas fighters hiding within the hospital complex. By the same token, a nation that wants to commit genocide does not selectively target only certain buildings known to be Hamas operating points, nor does it give advance warnings of such targeting to the general populace. If you want to commit genocide, you do not open up corridors so that the Red Cross can bring in humanitarian aid. These acts of humanitarian consideration by Israel are unprecedented in modern warfare.
In conclusion, those who cheer on Hamas in rallies and demonstrations are simply “useful idiots” in the cause of religious extremism, anti-democratic fanaticism and homicidal mania.
When it comes to defending democracy, freedom from religious tyranny, science over superstition, equality of genders, freedom of thought and speech, we are all Israel. When we defend her right to exist, we defend our right to exist.

Hamas says this about Europeans: “They were able to control imperialistic countries and instigate them to colonize many countries in order to enable them to exploit their resources and spread corruption there.” Muslim conquests by the sword extend from Morocco to Indonesia. They are the “occupiers,” not Jews.
