Iran-backed Hamas terrorists have murdered thousands with the intention of destroying Israel and the Jewish people. Hamas terrorists have beheaded babies, burned them alive, raped and murdered young women. We have seen the news reports of the sexual assaults committed by Hamas terrorists--all too graphic to speak of here, but here are some of the headlines. ABC News: ``New signs emerge of `widespread' sexual crimes by Hamas, as Netanyahu alleges global indifference.''
