Larry Johnson (2023-10-30). The Revised Hamas Charter — 2017. sonar21.com 
I decided it was time to discuss the Hamas Charter (the 2017 revision) and its implications for the current conflict.

We look at the reluctance in Congress to censure Israel despite growing grassroots pressure for a ceasefire in Gaza. "The narrative on both sides of the aisle is mostly about the right of Israel to defend itself," says Lara Friedman, president of the Foundation for Middle East Peace.

Friedman explains how the normalization of the racist Kahanist movement by Israel and the U.S. helped lead to today's crisis, and lays out Israel's approach to the ongoing…
