Hamas takes a rhetorical lesson from Jimmy Carter

In 2009, Jimmy Carter wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post slamming Israel where he described a tunnel Hamas was building to kidnap Israelis was a "defensive tunnel."

Terrorists learn a lot from people like Carter.

Yesterday:
UN Under Secretary-General Jeffrey Feltman said in a statement that digging underground tunnels from Gaza into Israel " is a violation to the ceasefire" agreement, brokered by Egypt in 2012 between Hamas and Israel.
Hamas' reaction? They just swiped Jimmy's argument. As a Hamas spokesman stated:

[The tunnel] is a way to protect the Palestinian people from attacks and crimes of the Israeli occupation. It does not make sense to deprive Palestinians from protecting themselves.

The resistance has realized that it has the right to find a way to protect and defend its people against the use of all weapons of death and destruction by the occupation.
