If we do not succeed in eliminating the Hamas leadership in the coming weeks, the State of Israel will have to find a legal way, with or without the help of the international community, to prosecute Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Deif and their friends – the gang of war criminals from Gaza.
This should, and could, be done in a manner similar to the way in which the senior Nazis at the Nuremberg Trials, or the master murderer Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem, were tried under the Nazis and their collaborators law for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

It's not just revenge, which is important in itself, but secondary here; These are, first of all, the absolute distinction and distinction that must be seen and made between those who have been deceiving the world for years and defining themselves as "freedom fighters" and terrorists who kill, murder, rape, kidnap people from their homes, torture and abuse women, the elderly and children, and even corpses.
Between soldiers in the army of a state and rogue criminals who massacre Jewish civilians, as Jews were slaughtered during the darkest periods in human history, in Kishinev or Farhud.

Between combatants against "occupation" and those who commit crimes against the Jewish people and against Jews everywhere, leading to captivity of elderly women and young children in years.
Over the years, the world, as well as part of our public, has contained terrorism, and to some extent has become "accustomed" to it, as long as it seemed to them that they were in control of the flames. A judgment by the heads of the massacres and their senders, at the end of the long road that awaits us, one that will reverberate from the end of the world to the end, is essential, both so that all of us here and the nations of the world will wean ourselves off this "habit" and "containment" and this acceptance.

The Hamas charter, reminiscent of similar Nazi works, is religiously committed to the killing of Jews everywhere and to the destruction of the State of Israel. The Charter makes extensive use of Islamic sources (the Quran and Hadith). How many people in the world and in Israel are familiar with this? How many did they know and forgot? How many people have been exposed to Hamas' murderous jihadist ideology, which is currently guided and directed by the regime of the ayatollahs in Iran? Why are figures like Sheikh Akramah Sabri of Jerusalem, who once clarified that "the Muslim loves death and martyrdom as the Jews love life," still not behind bars or deported from the country?
War without inhibitions
Hezbollah and the Iranians and some Israeli Arabs and others who seek our lives are still examining how we react to what happened, and are debating how to act. They have not yet decided whether to join the event.

Their decision will be influenced, among other things, by how we respond. If they get the impression that we are satisfied with exacting a "heavy price" and that the rules of war against Hamas do not fundamentally change; If they see that after 900 murders – which, relative to the size of the Israeli population, is equivalent to about 30,<> murdered Americans – the landlord is still deterred or delayed from "going crazy," they will come down from the fence.
Hamas has now proven that it is no different from ISIS, and the war against it must be waged with at least the same intensity and with only minimal inhibitions.
