"Hamas Brainwashed People, Shouldn't Be Part Of Humanity": Israel Ex-Envoy | Read

The Hamas is a "fundamentalist group that has taken Palestinians living in Gaza as hostage and is using them as human shields", Ron Malka, the ex-Israel envoy to India, told NDTV this afternoon. Mr Malka told NDTV the end-goal of Israel's all-out military response to Hamas' attacks Saturday - an estimated 1,500 gunmen stormed the border and slaughtered hundreds, many of whom were civilians - is "the total elimination of the military capabilities of Hamas... this terror organization". "Don't make a mistake... ", the Israeli diplomat said, "Hamas is not Palestinian... it is not Islam. They are brain-washed people... only brain-washed people can do these types of things to children, infants" and underlined the Israel government's intention to "wipe Hamas off the face of the Earth".
