1/ Hamas terrorists used my family and hundreds of our neighbors as human shields. #Hamas continues to hold the people of #Gaza captive. There should be no reconstruction of my family's home while a stockpile of weapons lies underneath.

Hamas Built Tunnels Beneath My Family’s Gaza Home

Now it lies in ruin alongside countless other homes in northern Gaza.

2/ Goals rather than causes are what is behind Hamas's masterminds' wars. The case for removing Hamas is not to fuel escalation but to prevent it, which is why they should never be allowed to retake control of Gaza.
