"In today’s debate, we are not seeing a defense of the goals laid out for the UN, but rather an indifference to Hamas’s charter, which like the Nazis is committed to the genocide of the Jewish people.”
—Israeli Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan

Following another round of violence, terror and destruction in which the Islamist terrorist organization Hamas fired thousands of rockets at Israeli citizens, oversaw destruction of its own infrastructure, and brought unimaginable pain to Gazan citizens, the Resistence Axis declared victory. Observers were rightly shocked by such infantile and irresponsible behavior. Yet, given the symbolic nature of Middle Eastern life, Hamas did not mean for its victory to be measured by human lives nor dollars, but with significant symbolic gains. Once again, Israelis are the center of Middle Eastern power struggles.
Can Hamas overcome Israel in any military action? I don’t believe anyone would think so, including the leaders of Iranian-led Resistance Axis. Although even those terrorist leaders are mostly intelligent, their goals are otherwise.

Antisemitic incitement has been a staple of Palestinian propaganda for decades. With social media, incitement for violence took a new turn as it assumed a life of its own. In 2015, what became known as the “Stabbing Intifada,” witnessed a wave of seemingly independent terrorist attacks on Israelis that were not centrally organized. At the time, Prime Minister Netanyahu described it as, “Bin Laden meets Mark Zuckerberg.” Taking those events as a case study, Mansour will look into how symbolic systems are created and deployed to create psychological conditions for young Palestinians that produce such violence in a specific prescribed way and coordinate such actions between individuals.
