THE HAMAS SYSTEM
The Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October 2023 has changed the world. What are Hamas’ ultimate objectives? Who finances this organisation, and how does it continue to recruit new terrorists?
The attack on Israel on 7 October 2023 has changed the world. It is the biggest crime against Jews since the Nazi Holocaust – carried out by Palestinian terrorists under the leadership of Hamas. Founded in 1987, Hamas is classified as a terrorist organisation by many Western nations today. Terrorism researchers, ethnologists and witnesses are examining the origins and current state of the “Hamas system”, whose primary objective remains the destruction of the state of Israel. The film brings together experts from both sides of the conflict to address key questions such as: How did Hamas rise to become the strongest political force in the Gaza Strip, which it has governed without challenge since 2007? What are the nature and extent of its ties to Iran, Qatar and Turkey? What are its objectives, and how did Hamas develop into an organisation with annual revenues of several hundred million dollars? Tracing Hamas’ evolution from its foundation in 1987 under Ahmad Yasin to the present day, the film explores the militant movement’s ideological roots, its totalitarian ambitions and its ongoing radicalisation.
