KINSELLA: Canada to recognize Palestinian state despite Hamas' atrocities?

A Thai man is lying on the ground.  He seems to be bleeding from a gunshot wound to his chest.  The man moves his arms, a bit.

A Gazan man, one not in a Hamas uniform, takes a hoe, and starts hacking at the man’s neck, over and over. It makes a thick, crunching sound every time it lands.

It is apparent the Gazan is trying to behead the Thai man, who came to Israel to work on a farm. “God is great!” he shrieks, over and over, as he brings down the blade on the man’s neck.

Not far away, at yellow metal gate leading to the Be’eri kibbutz — which is just up the road from the site of the Nova Music Festival — a man drives up in his car, waiting for the gate to slide open. Uniformed Hamas terrorists step out from some bushes and shoot the man. He’s dead. His car slowly slides forward, and comes to rest against the gate.

The terrorists fire off a few more rounds into the man’s body, and then walk into the kibbutz. They creep past rows of single-story white homes, mostly silent.  On the GoPro footage they are collecting, they can be heard whispering to each other: “Where did they go?” They are looking for Jews to kill.

At another kibbutz, security camera footage shows a man running out of his house, a boy in his arms, another boy rushing ahead of them.  They had woken to the sounds of gunshots and screams, so they are in their underwear.  They run into a fortified concrete bomb shelter. The shelter — like most of the shelters in Israel — doesn’t have a door that locks from the inside.

A minute or two later, a Hamas terrorist appears and throws a hand grenade into the shelter. The father is killed.  The boys stagger back into their house, covered in blood, crying out for their father.  The younger one says he can’t see. He does not seem to have his eye anymore. “We’re going to die,” he says to his brother.

At another kibbutz, a woman can be seen: She is dead. She is holding a dead child in her arms.  They are in a dimly-lit room.  Other dead children and adults can be seen, as well.  The Hamas terrorists stand among the bodies, laughing and taking selfies.  Periodically, they fire more bullets into the motionless bodies of the Israeli adults and children and cheer.

Another Hamas video shows the Hamas terrorists firing automatic weapons at cars carrying Israeli families.  The windshields crack and shatter. The Hamas videos show sprays of blood and viscera, and the cars slow to a halt.  The terrorists pull the Israelis out, and shoot them in their heads, which they do even when it is obvious the Israelis are already dead. The Hamas terrorists — and, sometimes, Gazan citizens — cheer and dance beside the bodies.

There are many, many bodies. One video shows a girl, perhaps six or seven, her tiny frame covered in blood and dirt.  She is wearing Mickey Mouse pyjamas.  Hamas has killed her. There is the bloodied body of another girl, this one younger.  She is still in a sun dress with little blue butterflies on it.

At a bus stop in Sderot, which isn’t far from the border with Gaza, a video shows piles of bodies of senior citizens.  They had been on a sightseeing tour, and the terrorists killed them all.  Their bodies are lying sprawled on the ground, among the canes and walkers and the dirt.

There are glimpses of the bodies of women and girls, unclothed from the waist down, their legs bloody and spread wide. One has smoke rising from her genitals.

There’s audio, as well. There’s intercepted phone calls to and from Hamas terrorists.  One calls his parents in Gaza.  “Dad,” he said in Arabic, “I’m talking from a Jewish woman’s phone.  I killed her and her husband.  With my bare hands, Dad.  Dad, I killed 10, 10 with my bare hands.” His mother comes on the line. “Mom, your son is a hero! Kill kill kill them!”

Another exchange, also caught on tape, captures another man’s voice: “Let history be my witness,” he said. “That this was the first man I killed. The first one.  A Jew.  Give me a knife, I swear to you by God I will cut off his head.”

In another audio recording, two terrorists can be heard talking about a dead Jew.  “Bring him and crucify him,” one says.  One man laughs.  “We’ve totally slaughtered them.”

There’s more video footage and audio of the slaughter, most of it kept by Hamas itself. Thousands of Jews and non-Jews, shot — and dismembered, and raped, and tortured, and burned alive. Hundreds, even babies, kidnapped. Bodies and blood, everywhere.

Gaza is ruled by Hamas, and Gaza is part of Palestine. And Hamas sent those men to Israel to do those terrible, horrible things.

And, on Wednesday night, Canada said it would recognize Palestine as a state.
