October 7, 2021 | Naomi Levin

Hamas is the terrorist group that fired 4000+ rockets toward Israel in May, killing 12 civilians there. Hamas is the terrorist group whose leaders take to TV to encourage supporters to buy a knife and cut off Jews’ heads… But Australia does not recognise Hamas as a terrorist group.
