INTIFADA: Hamas in the US

About INTIFADA: Hamas in the US

INTIFADA: HAMAS in the US, Then and Now is a documentary about the creation and evolution of the HAMAS terrorist organization in the MIddle East and the concurrent development and growth of the HAMAS infrastructure in the United States. On October 7, 2023, HAMAS committed the brutally raped, torture, and murder of 1200 people and kidnapped more than 200 others. In the wake of these atrocities, individuals and groups took to the streets in the US to vow support for HAMAS, espousing false narratives about the terrorist organization and the events of October 7. These false narratives and terrorist rhetoric are echoes of a strategy put in place more than three decades ago, and this podcast seeks to explain the truth about HAMAS and how it has used the United States to serve its purposes for decades.

   Episode 24: We Are The Future

   In Episode 24, We Are the Future, we turn our focus to what happened after October 7 - how Hamas’ violence was reframed, justified, and normalized inside the United States. After tracing Hamas’ evolution and infrastructure in America, and after hearing directly from victims, survivors, and witnesses of the October 7 massacre, this episode confronts the narrative battle that followed: the repackaging of mass murder, rape, torture, and kidnapping as “resistance” and “self-defense” for Western audiences.
