While Pro Palestinian and Pro Hamas agitators, and organizations such as Jewish Voice for Peace, JVP, continued to enlist U.S. College students, promoting the notion that Israel’s only interest in providing same-sex and LGBTQI+ equality was to “PINK WASH” alleged human rights abuses, they succeeded in creating a climate that yielded “Queers for Palestine” in America, and elsewhere. During this time, Hamas was not only keeping hostages in its tunnels, but also keeping a list, a rule book, which it delivered with the Hamas order: Kill the Gays!

These American campus Queers for Palestine, flaunted their support for Palestinian Hamas terrorism, attempting justification as resistance. They used our college kids and campuses to rally against Israel, the only country in the Middle east that in fact provides sanctuary to Palestinian queers fleeing the Hamas playbook, the Jihadist terror, and even their own families who sought their demise.
What do we know that is new? The IDF and Shin Bet when raiding a HAMAS tunnel has now discovered a significant amount of Hamas intelligence which happened to include revealing lists of suspected LGBTQ+ individuals, brutal tactics, global operations, and systematic terror tactics.

Jerusalem Post reported: Procedures of Hamas for those in the LGBTQ community
The official documents of Hamas’s “rulebook” reveal brutal behavior against anyone suspected of belonging to the LGBTQ community.
Additionally, documentation of interrogations and testimonies about aggressive questioning focused solely on sexual preferences and orientations was found, indicating that those suspected of being part of the LGBTQ community faced a single fate – death.
In its Report, the Jerusalem Post notes more details about its find : ‘Dismantling Hamas from within’: IDF uncovers trove of Hamas secrets: IDF and Shin Bet uncover extensive Hamas intelligence, revealing lists of suspected LGBTQ+ individuals, brutal tactics, global operations, and systematic terror tactics.

The treasure trove of Hamas intelligence, consisting of stacks of documents, files, and computers, including guidelines on what to do if someone is suspected of being part of the LGBTQ community, and a phrasebook of Hebrew words to help terrorists communicate in Hebrew, which included phrases such as “Take off your clothes.”
The sinister trove which reveals how to deal with LGBTQI people was ordered by Hamas and noted in an Hamas rulebook:
It also included documentation of orders in the various units and the review of equipment lists for each fighter, protocols of meetings, discussions, and the decision-making process at senior and junior levels.
Security officials stated that the level of order and organization was a significant surprise for the intelligence community.
“Hundreds and thousands of interrogations of terrorists and senior leaders would not have yielded such intimate intelligence on their methods of order and organization in such a short period,” said a military official exposed to the intelligence material.
The order and organization enforced by Hamas was based on a “rulebook” that was not accessible to everyone and was maintained by the senior command, which issued directives and operations across the Gaza Strip.
For example, during the ground maneuver, official documents of the terrorist organization were found, including procedures and investigations of those suspected of being part of the LGBTQ community.
According to the Jerusalem Post Article the find also included:
Documents were also recovered that held detailed plans by Hamas on how to operate worldwide in regions such as Europe, Jordan, Egypt, the US that were far from the eyes of foreign intelligence organizations and under the radar of the media.
The documents revealed that Hamas developed a plan tailored to the population in each country.
Another document detailed a plan to ignite unrest in the West Bank and undermine the Palestinian Authority (PA) by infiltrating its security mechanisms and encouraging internal rebellion to overthrow and take control of the PA gradually.
The IDF Intelligence Division gathered various equipment, such as weapons from Russia, North Korea, Iran, Egypt, Libya, and others, to trace not only their usage but also to learn about procurement and assistance routes.
Among the items found were over 150 pickup trucks and more than 350 Chinese motorcycles smuggled through tunnels under the Philadelphi Route, which were used by over 4,000 terrorists from 75 infiltration points to attack Western Negev settlements and military outposts on October 7.
Educating with Antisemitism – long in the plan:
Literature from the Hamas education system was also found. Among the items discovered were approximately 1,500 antisemitic books, indicating a systematic process of instilling hatred and promoting terrorism against Israel from the first day of education in the Hamas system.
Items included children’s books teaching how to murder Jews by running them over or stabbing them, a book by senior Hamas official Mahmoud al-Zahar titled The End of the Jews, and other literature that places all responsibility for wars in the Middle East on Israel, advocating for the murder of all Jews.
Additionally, booklet about senior terrorists were found, as well as special documentation from Hamas summer camps funded by foreign donations and photos of babies on home sofas alongside shrapnel grenades and mortar shells.
OCT 07 – Evidence of plotting:
The military equipment supported the operational idea of prolonged presence in Israeli territory, which included medical equipment, weapons for amputating limbs using Kalashnikov rifles with bayonets or machetes, special forces rifles (Russian Kalashnikovs), and other rifles for the rest of the forces.
Documents found on the bodies of the terrorists included Israeli work permits, as well as maps of settlements and IDF bases, marking important points such as the locations of senior officials’ offices, armories, clinics, and more.
The most prominent map was of the Tel Nof Airbase, detailing the locations of squadrons, commanders’ offices, and kibbutzim such as Nahal Oz and Be’eri.
Then there is UNRWA:
Some documents also revealed the corruption within Hamas, showing how they not only accumulated assets but also used them. United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) apartments were registered in the name of Hamas military leader Mohammed Deif’s wife.
Apartments of Mohammed Sinwar, Hamas head Yahya Sinwar’s brother, were found to be received from UNRWA and then rented to Palestinians, according to rental contracts in possession of Military Intelligence. Documentation of Hamas operatives working for UNRWA was also found.
Using Islamic Fatwas to justify slaughter:
Furthermore, documents and interrogations revealed that battalion commanders in the military wing received religious authorization to write fatwas under the title of sheikh to justify their actions against the Israeli population and soldiers, showing the terrorists there was no contradiction between the orders and Islam.
This can explain why Hamas killed anyone in their path during the October 7 raid, including Bedouins who were labeled by Hamas as “collaborators” and Thai workers labeled as “infidels.”
In the clothing of the commander of the raid on Sderot, a handwritten note was found in which he stated that according to the Quran, their souls would ascend to heaven and, in exchange for their sadistic actions against soldiers and civilians, including torture, they would be welcomed into paradise.
There were also terrorists found with pocket notebooks influenced by Abdullah Azzam, one of the founders of the Al-Qaeda terrorist organization, who declared that killing purifies the soul.
