The US And EU Must Get Allies And Partners To Label Hamas A Terrorist Group

The United States long ago understood that Hamas is a terrorist group. When the US set up a list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations in 1997, Hamas was in the first class based on its 1988 Charter calling to kill Jews and destroy Israel, and following through killing dozens of people.

After the barbaric Hamas attacks in Israel on October 7, 2023, the U.S. designated additional people and organizations which assist Hamas, to stop its flow of millions of dollars. Yet the United States has still not pressured many of its allies and trading partners to similarly designate Hamas, in order to isolate and destroy it.

Canada lists Hamas as a terrorist group along with several other Palestinian Arab groups. Germany, the United Kingdom and the European Union also list the group as a terrorist organization.

But what about the countries in Central and South America? In eastern Europe?

The European Union ” reiterates that the terrorist organisation Hamas needs to be eliminated” but what is it doing to facilitate that outcome?

There cannot be peace in the Middle East as long as evil jihadist groups and ideologies exist. It is time for the United States and European Union to apply pressure for all countries to label the noxious evil clearly and plainly.

ACTION ITEM
