A gruesome video that circulated this week shows Hamas gunmen dragging blindfolded men into a Gaza City square, forcing them to their knees and shooting them in front of onlookers — a brutal public execution that even some mainstream outlets verified. The pictures and footage are not the work of foggy propaganda; they are raw, barbaric proof that the same organization that murdered and kidnapped innocents on October 7 is now settling scores back home.
Far from being a stabilizing authority, Hamas fighters have poured back into Gaza’s streets and are using the ceasefire window to hunt down rivals, accuse people of “collaboration,” and mete out summary justice without any rule of law. This is the predictable cruelty of a terrorist regime masquerading as a government: control through fear, public spectacles of violence, and the silencing of any dissent.
Those executions came as the shaky, U.S.-brokered pause produced a partial handover of hostages and a flood of talking points about peace — while on the ground Gaza descends into a lawless purge and humanitarian chaos. Israel received some remains and temporarily restricted aid amid disputes over the transfer of bodies, underscoring that “ceasefire” cannot mean surrender to terror.
President Trump and others in Washington have been blunt about the obvious: Hamas cannot be allowed to rearm, govern, or execute dissidents in the open if there is to be any real peace — and enforcement will be necessary if words fail. The president’s warning that Hamas must disarm, or be disarmed, is exactly the kind of no-nonsense clarity this crisis demands from American leadership.
Veterans and analysts who know the enemy weighed in on cable this morning, reminding Americans that the moral clarity required here is not partisan theater but national security. Former IDF spokesperson Jonathan Conricus — a career military communicator who has briefed the world on these matters — has been sounding the alarm about Hamas’s pattern of violence and its determination to stay in power, a reminder that we should trust experienced voices, not hand-wringing appeasers.
This is a moment for strength, not for lectures from the media class or calls for immediate normalcy that ignore the blood on the pavement. Hardworking Americans understand that peace backed by weakness is a lie; lasting security requires disarmament of terrorists, accountability for war crimes, and a regional strategy that protects allies and innocent civilians alike.
If our leaders mean to end this nightmare, they must enforce the terms they negotiate, hold Hamas to account, and stand with Israel in dismantling the terror infrastructure that produced these atrocities. Anything less is moral abdication — and a dangerous recipe for another wave of violence that will one day threaten us all.
