View the following video of the Hamas leader giving a speech in 2011.
Note that the speech includes Holocaust denial, denial that Israel is the homeland of the Jews, citation of Quran in a call to banish or kill all Jews, and conspiracy theory about a ‘great scheme’ on the part of the Jews. Keep in mind of course that Hamas is an extremist organization, by no means representative of mainstream Islam. Nonetheless, Hamas was elected into power by Palestinians in Gaza in 2006 and remains in power today. What do you think causes such extremism? How should Israel respond to this?
