Hamas’ terrorists acts

The video of the Jordanian pilot Mu’ath al-Kaseasbeh being burned alive riveted the world’s attention.

Even Islamic groups at the more radical end of the political spectrum are expressing shock and disgust at beheadings and burnings.

This reaction was far different from the reaction to the terror tunnels Hamas intended to use to kidnap and kill Israelis just last year.

Where was the world’s outrage when Hamas used one of its terror tunnels to enter Israel and kill two Israeli soldiers?

The Islamic world’s Quran-based antipathy toward Jews is one answer, but what about the West’s reaction?
