According to former hostage Eitan Mor, who spent two years as a hostage of Hamas in Gaza, the terror group was no ragtag group of bezonians, but a well-disciplined enemy, used to enforcing strict rules on its members, and impressively well-informed about Israel and its people. More of Eitan Mor’s observations can be found here: “Hamas ‘will not give up until last Israeli is gone,’ former hostage Eitan Mor says,” by Keshet Neev, Jerusalem Post, January 12, 2026:
Former hostage Eitan Mor said he was “amazed” by how much intelligence he witnessed Hamas had on Israel during his time in captivity, adding that the terror group had been focused on rebuilding and preparing for further attacks.
By now, Mossad and IDF intelligence have thoroughly debriefed Eitan Mor, who has shared with them everything he knows about what Hamas knows. This may give the Israelis a clue as to how the terror group collects that information, and from whom, including Gazans allowed into Israel to work who at the same time amass intelligence for Hamas on IDF elite units such as Sayeret Matkal, on Israeli pilots, on weapons scientists; as well as from Israeli Arabs and even anti-Israel foreigners working for NGOs inside Israel.
Mor’s remarks came as right-wing ministers and lawmakers called for a complete takeover of the Gaza Strip during a Knesset conference on Monday titled Gaza the Day After: The Political Plan of the Israeli Right.
“People underestimate how organized they are,” Mor said about Hamas. “Shifts. Guard rotations. Thousands of shafts. Even under siege, they have food supplies for a year. The only real weakness is water.”
In other words, though Hamas has been battered by the IDF, Mor thinks the terror group is sufficiently well-organized and disciplined that it can still attract new recruits and reconstitute itself, so that the only sure-fire way to keep Hamas permanently down and out is for Israel to occupy not just Gaza behind the Yellow Line, but all of Gaza.
“They will not give up. Many of them told me: until you remove the last Israeli from here, we’ll keep kidnapping. Jihad is the highest commandment in their religion. They are obsessed with us; this is their life’s purpose,” he explained to the panel.
Eitan Mor lived in close quarters with Hamas members. He came to understand their fanaticism. He now realizes that this war with Hamas has no end. It is a jihad, and will only end, for the Muslims, when no Jews live on the land “between the river and the sea.” Because it was once possessed by Muslims, it must forever belong to them. Mor realized that his captors were obsessed with Israelis, with the Jews, and their “life’s purpose” is to kill them all.
Disciplined, well-organized, and frighteningly well-informed about Israel, according to Eitan Mor’s testimony, Hamas is down but not out. And that is why Mor spoke at a meeting of those who are so often described, carelessly, as “far-right.” These are people who understand Hamas’ unassuageable hatred of the Jewish state, and quite reasonably, they want Israel to relinquish no more territory, in east Jerusalem, in Judea and Samaria, and — please note — in Gaza.

Israel should annex the Gaza territory as part of Israel, and Israel should ban Islam along with its Mosques, Schools, Sharia Courts, etc. due to Islam’s Muslim funding, teaching, and supporting discrimination, segregation, violence, and terrorism against Israel and Non-Muslims as taught in Islam’s Qur’an(Qur’an 9:5, 29, 111; 49:15, etc.). Islam and its Muslims form Criminal-Terrorist-Gang Enterprises against Non-Muslims.
Islam, Allah’s genocidal ideology and Terrorist-Criminal-Gang Enterprise, in Qur’an 8:39 commands Muslims to fight Non-Muslims until Non-Muslims surrender to Muslim rule and become Muslims when Allah says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…” Demonic Allah in Qur’an 5:51 says, “O you who have believed[Muslims], DO NOT TAKE the Jews and the Nasara(Christians) as friends. They are friends to one another. And whoever among you takes them as friends, so surely he is of them. Surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.” Islam and its Muslims, enemies of Non-Muslims, are a Muslim Terrorist Organization(MTO).
Allah commands Muslims to conquer and subjugate every territory for Islam using every tool available with their MONEY and with their LIVES wielding the power of the Government or the State. Hence, Islam and Muslim actions should be legally challenged with a multi-faceted force of Western Laws like Muslims wield against Westerners via Governments, Tax Exempt Organizations, the Media and Hollywood, Foreign Funding, etc. because Islam violates and is incompatible with Western Laws(Qur’an 8:60; 9:5,29, 111; 47:4; 49:15; 65:4 etc.).
Allah describes Muslim women in Jenna, Allah’s Paradise, as whores of Allah in Qur’an 56:37. Also, Allah stirs hatred against Christians until the resurrection day when Qur’an 5:14 instructs, “And some of those who say, ‘Surely we are Nasara (Christians),’ we took their covenant. So they have forgotten a part of what they were reminded of, so we have stirred up ENMITY and HATRED among them until the resurrection day. And Allah will inform them of what they were doing.” See also Qur’an 2:225; 60:4; 8:55.
Islam must be banned as illegal, and we have the legal right to defend ourselves from Muslim violence. Allah in Qur’an 9:29 commands, “Engage in war with those who do not believe in Allah nor in the last day. Nor forbid what Allah and his messenger forbid, nor believe in the religion of the truth among those who have given the book until they pay the jizyah out of hand and they are subdued.”
Muslims are supremacist terrorists for Allah with their MONEY and with their LIVES while undermining a society from within using the man-made book of lies and deceit, the Qur’an. Allah in Qur’an 49:15 says, “Surely the believers[Muslims] are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed jihad with their MONEY and their LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.” Allah in Qur’an 4:101 says, “…Surely the infidels(Non-Muslims) were your clear enemies.”
MUSLIM BELIEVERS are a greater TERROR than Allah. Allah in Qur’an 59:13 says, “You[Muslims] are a greater terror in their chests than Allah. This is because they[Jews & Christians] are people who do not understand.” As a result, Non-Muslims are marked for death by Islam and its Muslims.
Walter Sieruk says
Eitan Mor who was kidnapped and for two years held hostage by Muslim terrorists of Hamas . After he was released the was when asked questions by the officials of the Israel Defense Force.
Mor then informed IFD “They will not give up…. jihad is the highest commandment in their religion. They are obsessed with us; this is their life’s purpose,”
Therefore, Mor is convinced that “only sure-fire way to keep Hamas permanently down and out is for Israel to occupy not just Gaza behind the Yellow Line, but all of Gaza.”
All this further confirms that Benjamin Netanyahu is right when he had declared, “Hamas must be destroyed.” Later, he vowed to “End Hamas.”
The reason why this is so is because when it comes to those brutal cruel vile heinous malicious and murderous jihadist savages of Hamas it’s “Either kill or be killed.”
So, Hamas needs to be hit long and hard and it should to hit with much military might and. struck great power repeatedly until it’s completely destroyed. As it had been also, rightly said “Half –measures is folly and madness.”
For the jihadists of Hamas will not respond to reason or logic , in others words, they cannot and will not be reasoned with. The only language that are able to understand is that of being the receiving end of a power of a great military might. As Thomas Jefferson had, rightly, written “With every barbarous people…force is law.”
Even the leftist US President Franklin D. Roosevelt with all liberal socialist had very wisely declared, “No compromise can end that conflict. There never has been—there never can be—successful compromise between good and evil. Only total victory can reward the champions of tolerance, and decency, and freedom, and faith.”
Prime Minister Netanyahu had revealed knowledge and wisdom by his statement about the need to about the very important and necessary need to engage in the “Elimination of Hamas.”

Eitan Mor lived in close quarters with Hamas members. He came to understand their fanaticism. He now realizes that this war with Hamas has no end. It is a jihad, and will only end, for the Muslims, when no Jews live on the land “between the river and the sea.”
This leads to the subject of the misinformed and outright ignorant university and college student young people who given disinformation about Israel and be become the useful idiots, stooges and tools of the of the Muslims who are also the stealth jihadists who have infiltrated America’s institutions of ‘higher education.”
One example of this brainwashed ignorance was revealed by a .Newsmax reporter walked over to one of those anti-Israel “student” protesters who was holding a sign that read “From the River to the Sea” and asked her “What river ?” and she replied. “I don’t know.” Then the reporter asked her “Which sea ?” To that question, she answered “I don’t know.”
Wellington says
Cortes in his conquest of the Aztecs, and which people repulsed him and his fellow Spaniards due to their engaging in human sacrifice and cannibalism, at first thought that some kind of co-existence with the Aztecs as subordinates to Spanish dominance was possible but he came to realize that this was not possible so different was the Aztec mind set. All that could be done was extermination of the Aztec Empire—complete obliteration.
And so it is with Hamas and one knows this or should know it. Yes, only obliteration of Hamas is an option if Israel is to survive.

Long live Israel 🇮🇱

Few people realise that Hamas and the other jihadist groups are very much akin to the Nazis. They were also obsessed with exterminating any race of people they considered inferior to them, which was almost everybody. They are true psychopaths and sociopaths. The only solution is to exterminate them as they cannot be redeemd or changed especially as their children are indoctrinated in their foul ideology as the Nazis inoctrinated theirs. It is regretable that their innocent progeny are killed but how long would they remain innocent before becoming just like their parents
OLD GUY says
Our politicians and business leaders need to realize who and what they are dealing with. Islam wants power over everyone and doesn’t care who or what they hurt or destroy to get it.
