Hamas: A Cult of Sexual Sadists

I’ve read plenty in the past about some of the most barbaric acts of humanity, but this seems worse. Perhaps it’s because the element of sadism – and sexual sadism at that – is so profound. Perhaps it’s because of the sheer numbers of perpetrators and victims. Perhaps it’s because so many victims were young people in the prime of life. Perhaps it’s because it happened so recently and not in some distant ancient past. Perhaps it’s because of the exultant glee of the perpetrators and the fact that in some cases they filmed their abominations. Perhaps all of these things.

I continue to wonder whether some of these sadists have been exposed to violent pornography, and what effect that had on them. I know that they were also taught that Jews and Israelis deserve to be tortured and “dirtied,” and that this somehow would be compatible with their religious duties and perhaps even required. I think of things like the Aztecs ripping hearts out, the Biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrah, the sacking of cities by barbarians, and all of the long history of crimes against humanity. It is still with us.
