Dear Chaim Hasafran, On October 10, 2023, I published "The Ideology of Mass Murder," an essay about the origins and nature of Hamas's world view. It was published at the Australian based but global reach English language publication, *Quillette. *Here is the link to those 1,800 words: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://quillette.com/2023/10/10/the-ideology-of-mass-murder/__;!!KGKeukY!wcrtGbKf01hmYHHINBzVSIGLh0uGYcjVClxwUGYY9bXqcviJgEPQ4fG1bsqG2sh2BXwAmOST0iFrl-5R-A$
The essay was reprinted in German translation in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung on October 20th. I hope you will find it helpful in your efforts.
