To free (a human) of the guilt and penalty attached to grievous sin. Used of God. 3. Law a. To demonstrate sufficient legal reason for (an action taken). b. To prove to be qualified as a bondsman.Actions of Hamas -Kidnapping and killing Israeli citizens, that are not in the IDF or associated with Israeli politics. One example of this is the organized kidnap and murder off three unarmed Israeli teens who were walking home from school earlier last year. These teens were neither military or politics targets, but civilians. -The unprovoked firing of rockets, missiles and shells at civilian targets in Israel. One the main reasons for the Gaza 2014 conflict was because Hamas was firing a barrage of rockets into Israeli territory at civilian buildings and in civilian towns. Over 4500 rockets were sent in total, and last week, despite the fact that there is currently a ceasefire, another two were sent over into Israel. -The building of an underground tunnel network established with the intent to infiltrate Israeli borders and kidnap Israeli civilians. Hamas is not justified in this action because (a.) these are civilians and (b.) they are built under civilian homes and in civilian neighborhoods, which thus means residents of Gaza are purposefully endangered. -All money that belongs to Hamas (note: they were recently reported to be the second richest terror group in the world) is spent on weaponry, military training, the materials (such as concrete) to build tunnels. The leader of Hamas alone is in fact estimated to be worth $2.6 billion. Instead of contributing funds to improving the overall infrastructure of Gaza, or assisting its residents, the money again goes towards military and political purposes. -Execution of civilians. Since its governance Hamas is reported to have killed a number of civilians for refusal. Last summer alone it was established that Hamas had killed over fifty Gaza residents for holding anti-war protests and allegedly conspiring with Israel, without any evidence. It later came out that these people were not guilty of the offence that they had been accused of. -Use of human shields and encouragement of religious martyrdom remains a significantly prevalent policy in Gaza and there is a large amount of recorded, testimonial and photographic evidence to support this. Statement from Hamas MP Fathi Hammad: "[The enemies of Allah] do not know that the Palestinian people has developed its [methods] of death and death-seeking. For the Palestinian people, death has become an industry, at which women excel, and so do all the people living on this land. The elderly excel at this, and so do the mujahideen and the children. This is why they have formed human shields of the women, the children, the elderly, and the mujahideen, in order to challenge the Zionist bombing machine. It is as if they were saying to the Zionist enemy: "We desire death like you desire life." Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri, also stated in an interview during the last Gaza conflict that the human shield method was "effective" and that this "attests to ou noble Jihad-fighting people."The Hamas Charter has this to say about Israel and the endorsement of martyrdom: "Israel will rise and will remain erect until Islam eliminates it as it had eliminated its predecessors." (The Martyr, Imam Hassan al-Banna) "The Islamic world is on fire. It is incumbent upon each one of us to pour some water, no matter how little, to extinguish whatever one can without waiting for the others." (Sheikh Amjad al-Zahawi)."-Propaganda. As the official government of Gaza, Hamas has full power of the education system in Gaza and dictates to exactly what gets taught within Gaza schools. Children are in fact explicitly told that Israel is "the enemy" and that the practice of Jihad must be applied. Males from a young age are militarily trained and encouraged to pursue a future in fighting against the state of Israel. Unfavorable depictions of Jews are displayed both in Gaza television and Hamas literature, which extends to a large part of what Gaza is in possession of. Con implies that anti-Semitic attitudes are mostly attributed to the past of Hamas, however, they recently released a video which was entitled "Run them over, destroy, annihilate, blow them up" in which they publicly call for the killing of Jews within Israel and feature an animated character in the music video he is displayed wearing a kippa. It would seem clear that Hamas were thus identifying the man as Jewish. The video shows a car chasing the man and attempting to run him over. In fact, the lyrics state: "Abd Al-Rahman Al-Shaloudi ran over a Jewish settler".Sources: [1.] http://www.thewire.com...[2.] http://www.israelnationalnews.com...][3.]http://www.algemeiner.com...;[4.] [http://www.memritv.org...[5.] https://www.mythsandfacts.org...[6.] http://www.ynetnews.com...[7.] http://www.jpost.com...
