A Lebanese-Christian expert on Arab affairs recently stated that taking over Gaza was the first step in Hamas’ plan to wage war on the Christians in the USA.

Walid Phares was quoted by Fox News on Wednesday as saying that Hamas took over Gaza as an initial staging ground for its ultimate battle against Christians and the US.

“Hamas is using Gaza as an umbrella to be legitimate,” Phares said. “The reality is this is a jihadist movement, and it is manifesting itself in America and Canada, and in Western Europe. We have never been at this level of danger for our democratic world.”

Phares is a Lebanese-born American scholar and conservative political pundit who worked on Trump’s presidential campaign in 2016. 

Phares based his assertion on the Hamas Charter also known as the Covenant of the Islamic Resistance Movement, which was adopted on August 18, 1988. . While the Hamas Charter explicitly calls for the violent destruction of Israel and the genocide of all Jews everywhere in the world, Article 22 identifies Christian organizations and Western sociopolitical movements as the “enemies”.

“The enemies have been scheming for a long time … and have accumulated huge and influential material wealth,” Article 22 states. “With their money, they took control of the world media… With their money, they stirred revolutions in various parts of the globe… They stood behind the French Revolution, the Communist Revolution, and most of the revolutions we hear about… With their money, they formed secret organizations – such as the Freemasons, Rotary Clubs, and the Lions – which are spreading around the world, in order to destroy societies and carry out Zionist interests… They stood behind World War I … and formed the League of Nations through which they could rule the world. They were behind World War II, through which they made huge financial gains… There is no war going on anywhere without them having their finger in it.”
