Not a single member of Congress (Reps. Jamaal Bowman, Cori Bush, Summer Lee, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Mark Pocan, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Pramila Jayapal) who has been leading the calls for a ceasefire has said a word condemning Hamas for breaking the pause and refusing to release all the hostages. The tragic loss of life among Gazan civilians - even though they support Hamas's terrorism - would be mitigated by the world pressing Hamas (not Israel) to release hostages, encourage civilians to leave the fighting area, and getting Hamas to surrender. Where's the condemnation of Hamas? Hamas has never honored a pause nor ceasefire. Before and after they committed atrocities on 10/7, they never stopped bombing Israel and attempting to repeat the massacre. Hamas violated the recent pause on several occasions and then refused to release more hostages. If the terrorists released the hostages and stopped firing at Israel, deliberately targeting millions of innocents and using Palestinians as human shields, there would be a permanent ceasefire. We know Hamas murdered Baby Kfir, 4 year old Ariel, and an autistic girl after they were dragged to Gaza because Hamas admitted it. Hamas must be held accountable.
