The Covenant of Hamas, enacted in 1988, states, "The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him salvation, has said: 'The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.'" The Covenant also states that "Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it." After Hamas acts upon these words by mass murdering Jews, leftists across the world have accused Israel of genocide for pursuing the killers and warning civilians to get out of harm's way while Hamas uses them as human shields.
