It seems all of a sudden the Saudis woke up. They say Hamas is brutal to its citizens and using Saudi money to build terror tunnels. This echoes the recent complaints of Norway and Denmark that their donations to the PLO are fueling terror and not peace. But the aim of Hamas and the PLO is to destroy Israel. So are they "militants" as the media describe them, or perhaps they are evil doers? Do they have a real cause, or they just opposers of G-d and the Jewish people? Interestingly, Hamas in Hebrew means violence.
"Hamas uses the Palestinians in Gaza as human shields," Okaz, popular Saudi newspaper
JERUSALEM POST
SAUDI NEWSPAPER: HAMAS
DIGGING TUNNELS AND ENDANGERING GAZA CITIZENS
BY YASSER OKBI/ MAARIV HASHAVUA JUNE 9, 2017 20:28
"Islamic State kills quickly, whereas Hamas are murdering slowly," wrote the author in one of the most critical articles ever seen in an Arab country against Hamas.

You might have to pinch
yourself to believe a Saudi Arabian newspaper's criticism of Gaza-based
terrorist organization Hamas. The Israeli Coordinator of Government Activities
in the Territories (COGAT) could just copy and paste the article on their
Arabic-speaking website.
In an exceedingly stinging
criticism, Saudi newspaper Okaz wrote on Friday that "Hamas' actions are a
double betrayal on the issue of Palestine, with the organization investing $120
million in the last three years in intensive tunnel construction."
According to the newspaper,
Hamas has taken millions of dollars from Saudia Arabia and the United Arab
Emirates in order to dig tunnels and hold hostage two million Palestinians.
"Hamas' should have
quickly put right the ongoing disaster in the Gaza Strip, instead of
criticizing statements made by the Saudi foreign minister, Adel
al-Jubeir," who recently demanded that Qatar sever its links with Hamas
and the Muslim Brotherhood.
According to the newspaper,
Hamas is a terrorist organization whose crimes exceed those of the Islamic
State. "Islamic State kills quickly, whereas Hamas are murdering
slowly," wrote the author in one of the most critical articles ever seen
in an Arab country against Hamas.
"Hamas allocates
millions of Saudi and UAE dollars in order to support Iranian-orchestrated
terror."
The leading Saudi newspaper
drew parallels between the Islamic State and those of Hamas, stating that
"there is no difference between them."
The newspaper called for
immediate Arab intervention in order to prevent Hamas' exploitation of Gaza's
citizens and even "to save their lives."
"Hamas uses all the aid
that the Palestinians receive to support their interests, it digs tunnels
beneath schools, houses and hospitals and thereby poses a danger to the lives
of Palestinian civilians."
"Hamas uses the
Palestinians in Gaza as human shields," concluded the article. "The
secret is out: Hamas is a double agent of Doha and Tel Aviv."
Who'd imagine this 20 years ago?
