Tunnel Terror, Hamas cruelty.
Purported letter from inside Gaza tells of tunnel toil, Hamas cruelty

Sounds like liberals are condoning slavery.


Quote:An emotional letter purportedly smuggled out of Gaza details one man’s harrowing participation in digging the tunnels that Israel blames for triggering the latest round of fighting and paints a bleak picture of life under Hamas control.

The 30-year-old Palestinian to whom the letter is attributed describes accepting a cryptic job offer, then being taken in a windowless truck with five others to a building where they were forced to dig tunnels for long, gruelling shifts in stretches that lasted 10 days.

“We drove for an hour and finally they stopped and took us into a closed building. We didn’t know where we were,” reads the letter, the text of which has been released on the Internet. “They showed us a hole in the ground and told us to go down.

“We didn’t know where we’d been, or what tunnel we dug.”

- Purported letter smuggled out of Gaza City

“We walked for a few hundred meters, and when we got to the end, two Hamas members were waiting for us,” the letter continues. “They gave us working tools and explained to us what to do in order to make the tunnel longer.”

It goes on to describe back-breaking labor performed in unventilated shafts, with Hamas overseers screaming and even assaulting workers not deemed to be working hard enough. In the end, after the workers were taken back home and paid meager wages for their work, “We didn’t know where we’d been, or what tunnel we dug,” the letter said.

Earlier this week, The Times of Israel reported that Hamas killed dozens of tunnel diggers after their work was done to prevent leaks to Israel about the locations of the underground shafts. In addition to tunnelers purposely killed, The Journal of Palestine Studies in 2012 reported that Hamas leaders had admitted that, "at least 160 children have been killed in the tunnels," reflecting the fact that many children are also used as forced labor to dig the terror tunnels.

The writer, who sources told FoxNews.com lives in Gaza City, had the handwritten, Arabic letter smuggled out by courier to Itzik Azar, a resident of central Israel and friend of the writer’s late father.

In the letter, the writer also claims his father’s metalwork shop was commandeered by the U.S.-designated terrorist group soon after it came to power in Gaza in 2006, and used from that point on to turn out rockets.

“They [Hamas] set the prices and [placed the orders] from the workshop,” he wrote. “From that day, every morning an armed Hamas member used to come to the shop and give us orders to make winged metal pipes. Straight away I understood that they were used to launch rockets. One day a pickup truck came and the Hamas members took my father from the shop. We never saw him again. Later I learned they killed him and threw his body into a pit.”

The death of his father and the seizure of the family shop drove the man to jump at the chance to earn money, he said. When the latest hostilities between Israel Defense Forces and Hamas broke out more than two months ago, he realized his own work had played a role.

“We heard about the tunnels that Hamas dug and I understood that I helped them,” read the letter. “We pray that the world will help to free us from the fearful and cruel Hamas rule in the Gaza Strip. I pray for death to all Hamas members and that we will get freedom and a chance to live a normal life for our children in Gaza. Inshalla.”

So children were forced to build the tunnels. Children were killed in the tunnels. And the left has no response.

It's you dypshyts that equate Hamas with all Palestinians. Hamas's power was collapsing. The actions of the Israelis these past two months only strengthen Hamas.

You are a loon. You worship at the Obama alter, drinking the Obama kool-aid and you equate America with the ruling Democratic party.

Hamas is in power and the Palestinians drank the Hamas kool-aid.

It's war.

Think, Thinking, it might be a new experience for ya.

You #$!@$!@#. Palestinians elected Hamas as their ruling government. What part of that don't you get? Typical lib, you ignore the reality of the situation.

Hamas was on the ropes. Almost knocked out. This bombing campaign played right into their hands.

How do you figure Hamas was on the ropes? They were consolidating their power, building rockets and terror tunnels adhering to their charter to eliminate Israel at all cost. Killing women and children on both sides. For Hamas to be on the ropes, means Iran would have to stop funding and helping them. Never happened.

Put down the liberal kool-aid. Open your eyes. You are living in a fantasy world.

Broaden your horizons and read something outside of an Israeli viewpoint.

Nice how you avoid commenting on me pointing out that Hamas was elected. They were nowhere near being on the ropes. Your propaganda is hilarious. You sir, are a typical dumba## lib. Refuse to see reality, just make up your own reality.

And some wonder why the liberal agenda fails so badly when implemented....

I have, I know how to reject the propaganda. Arabs have been perfecting their PR skills for years. They target the brainwashed liberal mind. You oblige them. I will not.

Haven't seen anything supporting that, in Europe or elsewhere. Don't recall seeing any links that you posted that said that either.

RE: Tunnel Terror, Hamas cruelty.
Well I didn't make it up........

Here's one from the BBC.

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-28371966

It's the gist of what I was saying. The article I read I believe was in the Economist but I could be wrong. I can't find it but the theme was Hamas was losing it's grip on Gaza with the Fatah Unity govt. They were losing political capital. Big Time. They needed something to show that they were still players. Netanyahu gave it to them.


What's crazy is you have to remember all of this started when they thought Hamas kidnapped those teens. Hamas never took credit for it. Netanyahu almost needs Hamas? Why is that? They were on there way out.

Just admit that you really really REALLY hate Jews, and we can all move along from this. Or, continue to support terror groups while pretending to be shrouded in a cloak of "tolerance". Your choice.

He is an anti-semite that hates Jews with a passion. Not hard to understand that fact.
