DOJ announces charges against senior Hamas leaders over October 7 attack
Self-righteous, masturbatory nonsense. Israel’s war and possibly a subsequent court martial take precedence over anything America might want to do.
[POSTMILLENNIAL] Attorney General Merrick Garland announced on Tuesday that the Justice Department has charged six senior Hamas
..one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,...
leaders with terrorism, murder conspiracy, and sanctions-evasion counts.

According to a blurb from the DOJ, those charged are Ismail Haniyeh
...became Prime Minister of Gaza after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank...
, Yahya Sinwar, Mohammad al-Masri, Marwan Issa, Khaled Meshaal, and Ali Baraka. "The defendants charged in the complaint are all big shots of Hamas who have orchestrated, overseen, and supported Hamas’s decades-long campaign of terrorism, including the October 7 Hamas Massacres," the blurb stated.

The six senior Hamas leaders were charged with conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization resulting in death, conspiracy to provide material support for acts of terrorism resulting in death, conspiracy to murder US nationals, conspiracy to bomb a place of public use resulting in death, conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction resulting in death, and conspiracy to finance terrorism, conspiracy to violate the international emergency economic powers act.

Haniyeh was the chairman of Hamas’s Politburo, the terrorist organization’s political branch, from 2017 until "his reported death on or about July 31." He was previously the deputy chairman of the Politburo and the leader of Hamas in the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip. Sinwar, also known as Abu Ibrahim, is the leader of Hamas, and "previously, beginning in approximately 2017, he was the leader of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, and is one of the founders of the al-Qassam Brigades."

Al-Masri, also known as Mohammed Deif and al Khalid al-Deif, held the position of commander in chief of the al-Qassam Brigades from around 2002 until his reported death on or about July 13. Issa, also known as Abu Baraa, held the position of deputy commander of the al-Qassam Brigades from around 2007 until his reported death on or about March 10.

Meshaal, also known as Abu al-Waleed, served as chairman of Hamas’ Politburo between approximately 2004 and 2017 and now serves as the head of Hamas’ diaspora office, "effectively responsible for Hamas’ official presence outside of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank." Baraka has led Hamas’ National Relations Abroad since around 2019 and previously served as Hamas’ representative in Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
"The charges unsealed today are just one part of our effort to target every aspect of Hamas' operations. These actions will not be our last. The Justice Department has a long memory. We will pursue the murderous Moslems responsible for murdering Americans and those who illegally provide them with material support for the rest of their lives," Garland said.

The Attorney General said in a statement, "The Justice Department has charged Yahya Sinwar and other big shots of Hamas for financing, directing, and overseeing a decades-long campaign to murder American citizens and endanger the national security of the United States."
Idiot. The targets weren’t American, except incidentally. The targets were Israelis of all faiths and none, and those who dare to support Israel.
The Times of Israel adds:
The impact of the case may be mostly symbolic given that Sinwar is believed to be hiding out in tunnels underneath Gaza and at least three of the other defendants named by the Justice Department are thought to have been killed. But US officials say at least one person, whom they did not name, is expected to be brought to New York for prosecution.

Let's see, this happened Oct 7th, 2023 and that was 333 days ago.

Could it be with Nov 5th, Elections just 62 days away, the DC Swamp is desperate for some deflection?

#3 They want the Moslem vote. Putting one of the Heroes of 10/7 on trial will do the opposite.
