When developing this article I really couldn't decide if I was going to write it in a satirical manner or in a concerned manner? The concept was so ridiculous to me I wasn't sure how to convey it to the world.

The military wing of the terrorist organization Hamas, the Al Qassam Brigades, that murders, pillages, persecutes, fires rockets, stones, lynches, blows themselves up, etc. - has a Twitter account. The days are over when the world is spooked by the unmarked video or cassette tape that arrives at the Al Jazeera offices for the world to hear the propaganda of the world's terrorists. You can simply "Follow" them on your personal Twitter account because Twitter refused to remove Hamas' account. The user name @AlqassamBrigade, popped up amongst the average 100 tweets an hour mentioning Gaza.The terrorists' have a website, that has the fun option to choose your favorite color scheme for the menus, and this is their matching Twitter account, that Twitter refuses to remove. From the Sderot Media Center Twitter account, @SderotMedia, most likely only a couple of miles from the terrorists managing the Hamas Twitter account I thought to engage them in dialogue on one of the base debates in this conflict: @AlqassamBrigade As you know, you terrorize thousands just over the border from Gaza here in Sderot. Or do you call it Najd? Never receiving an answer and following protocol, I filed a complaint with Twitter to which they refused to remove the terrorist account:

Twitter provides a communication service. As a policy, we do not mediate content or intervene in disputes between users. Users are allowed to post content, including potentially inflammatory content, provided that they do not violate the Twitter Terms of Service and Rules (name calling is not a violation).

Essentially, this gives the terrorist organization the most popular worldwide platform to preach with whatever propaganda or hate speech they like to add in, because as you see above "name calling is not a violation." The automated Twitter response continues, "If a violent threat is posted in the future, please let us know, and send the status link." So, only if Hamas tweets about the imminent launch of a missile attack will Twitter take action? In the worldwide blockbuster jaw-dropping movie Bruno, created by comic mastermind Sasha Baron Cohen, the main-character Bruno is attempting to make peace in the Arab-Israeli conflict and while hosting a dialogue session he continually misuses the word "Hamas" for "Hummus," which provides for the great light humor for which he is famous. The mainstream legitimization of the terrorist organization Hamas is so widespread that Hamas is almost a household term nowadays, such that Sasha Baron Cohen can comically draw that connection on screen. However, it is more than a joke when the entire world has turned its back on Hamas' actions for a near decade hereby accepting into the public domain. Rocket and suicide attacks on Jewish civilians are clearly not enough, but why won't the world de-legitimize them for human rights abuses such as "honor killings?" Instead, the United Nations and Judge Goldstone chose to give Hamas and radical Islam around the world an over 500 page report to continue their terrorism. This is not an issue of freedom of speech as Hamas is a terrorist organization even to the United Nations. I encourage everyone with a Twitter account to file a complaint against Hamas' account @AlqassamBrigade to get Hamas out of our households and stop the tweeting of terror.
