Hamas Delenda Est – It Must Be Destroyed, Now!

March 7, 2025

President Trump sent what might be called a literal “mash note” to the terrorist group

Hamas yesterday, declaring: “Release all the hostages now, not later, and return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is OVER for you…. Not a single Hamas member will be safe if you don’t do as I say. This is your last warning.”

Hamas has blown off Mr. Trump’s ultimatum. So, it’s time to destroy the jihadists, something the President says he’s giving Israel the means to accomplish. That’s also the outcome to which Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has been committed ever since Hamas murderously invaded Israel and seized over two hundred hostages on October 7th 2023. Tragically, the Biden administration was determined to save the perpetrators. With Donald Trump’s strong support, Israel must now “finish the job.”

** “Carthago delenda est” (English: “Carthage must be destroyed”) is a Latin oratorical phrase which was in popular use in the Roman Republic in the 2nd Century BC during the latter years of the Punic Wars against Carthage, by the party urging a foreign policy which sought to eliminate any further threat to the Roman Republic from its ancient rival Carthage, which had been defeated twice before and had a tendency after each defeat to rapidly rebuild its strength and engage in further warfare.
