One glance at the emblems of Israel and Hamas tells the whole story!
Israel’s emblem shows a menorah and olive branches representing light and peace.
Hamas’ emblem shows rifles and hand grenades representing death and destruction and the genocidal aims to wipe Israel off the map and slaughter all its Jews. Its background shows a map of Israel replaced by an Islamic state. Hamas uses the same PLO emblem designed by its Fatah rival.
The Hamas/PLO emblem illustrates the Hamas Charter’s murderous and genocidal intent. In contrast, Israel's emblem illustrates its Declaration of Independence that extends its hand to all neighboring states and their peoples in peace and good neighborliness.
HAMAS CHARTER
“Israel, by virtue of its being Jewish and of having a Jewish population, defies Islam and the Muslims. Muslims will fight the Jews until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees, which will cry: O Muslim! there is a Jew hiding behind me, come on and kill him. I indeed wish to go to war for the sake of Allah! I will assault and kill, assault and kill, assault and kill.'”
ISRAEL DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
"The State of Israel will guarantee freedom of religion, conscience, language, education and culture. We extend our hand to all neighboring states and their peoples in an offer of peace and good neighborliness, and appeal to them to establish bonds of cooperation and mutual help with the sovereign Jewish people in its own land."
Although I am
an expert on the power of visual images as professor of art and education at
Columbia University and research fellow at MIT Center for Advanced Visual
Studies, anyone can see the radical difference in the design of their emblems between the values and aims of Israel and
Hamas/PLO .
President of
the United States Joe Biden says it clearly, “Let’s get something straight
here, until the region says unequivocally they acknowledge the right of Israel
to exist as an independent Jewish state, there will be no peace.”
