Dozens of gunmen from the Islamist militant group Hamas infiltrate southern Israel amid a barrage of rockets from Gaza.

Israel-Palestine Conflict: UK, France, Spain and Germany condemn terrorist attacks

<p>Recent images and videos from South Israel are not for the faint-hearted. The world watches in shock and horror as the true face of Hamas, a group long defended and mischaracterized by many, comes into the stark light of day. The ISIS-style execution and kidnapping videos make one thing abundantly clear: Hamas is not a band of “revolutionaries” or “freedom fighters”. They are terrorists, and their malevolence is at par with the most diabolic terror groups in history.</p>

<p>There has been an unsettling inclination to paint Hamas in shades of gray, to believe that perhaps there is some redeeming quality, some justification for their actions. However, the live streaming of shooting sprees in Sderot, the parading of desecrated, naked bodies through Gaza streets, and the abduction of innocent children and elderly citizens lay bare the monstrous nature of this organisation.</p>

<p>Referring to them as "revolutionaries" is not only a gross misrepresentation but also an insult to genuine freedom fighters worldwide. Revolutionaries fight against oppressive systems for a greater cause, often with an ideology aimed at liberation and the greater good.

<p>Yesterday marks 50 years since Israel faced a surprise attack starting the Yom Kippur War, and history eerily echoes now as another surprise assault unfolds today. Israel, like any sovereign nation, has the unequivocal right to defend its people and its land against such acts of terror.</p>

<p>The unfortunate reality is that there's a narrative war at play. While on one side, there's undeniable evidence of the atrocities committed by Hamas, on the other side, there's a dangerous rhetoric that seeks to justify, or worse, romanticise their actions.
