More on the Islamist Militant Group, Hamas, Deemed a Terrorist Group in 1997 | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Hamas is an Islamist militant movement which was deemed a terrorist organization by the US State Department back in 1997. It is now one of the Palestinian territories' 2 major political parties. Moien Odeh, International Human Rights lawyer and a PhD candidate at George Mason University, joins to tell us about this terror group and the distinction between them and the Palestinian people, civilians living in Gaza. Hamas carried out its first attack on Israel back in 1989 and the deadly fighting has been going on for the last 30 years. However, nothing like the shocking and horrific attack we saw on Saturday. Odeh shares why now and what they want. The human rights lawyer explains whether he sees the conflict ending soon and whether he thinks a peaceful resolution can be reached. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
