The Justice Department is charging several top-ranking Hamas terrorists for their role in perpetrating the October 7, 2023, mass slaughter of Israeli civilians that jump-started the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.
Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind behind October 7, and five other senior Hamas officials are facing federal terrorism charges for orchestrating the October 7 attacks, the Justice Department announced Tuesday. This will be the first official step towards holding Hamas criminally accountable almost a year after the massacre took place. Hamas terrorists killed more than 1,000 innocent civilians on October 7, including over 40 American citizens.

They waited a year? And it just happens before a presidential election?
Could they be more obvious, Sherlock?

Charges? Why is the non-Justice Department using taxpayer money to prosecute terrorists. Just shoot them. The cost of the bullets would save taxpayer money.

Oh, those Terrorists are Shaking in their Boots!
The 'Just-Us' department said they 'did something'!
It only took 10 months, and as #1 said, it's just before a Presidential election.
But they better not go too far, they'll lose the Muzzie Vote in Detroit.
#2, I agree 100%, but wasting Taxpayer's money is the main goal of this administration. Don't actually solve any problems, just spend that Ca$h.... and they're running us deeper into debt by $1,000,000,000,000 (that's one Trillion) every 100 days.
As their Communist 'patron saint' Vladimir Lenin once said:
"The Surest Way to Attack the Capitalist State is to Debauch the Currency."

I guess there's no way our crooked DOJ could contract with the Mossad or IDF to bring these indicted to justice.
Or room temperature (my preference; hat tip to El Rushbo for the "room temp" line; RIP Rush)

So, biden the cheater, Kamalie, Obie, and the Garlic Man must really be expecting that terrorist attack to happen here just before November 5th such that the election is postponed?

This is not a criminal matter. It’s terrorism. Meaningless gesture that will result in nothing.

Considering the twisted logic of the left, this protects them. They have to be put on trial. Can't just kill them.

Yes! And send them a very sternly written letter, too!

Some liberal NY or DC judge will dismiss all charges saying that they have Sovereign Immunity as an elected part of the Hamas government of Gaza. Like our liberal Representatives and Senators, they do/stupid things then hide behind the protections of their office. This is all for show as an election year ploy.

So, the Just Us Department is charging non-Americans who committed crimes in another country, at least a year ago; involving the capture, torture and killing of some Americans. I get it. Have these perps already been detained, or are they "in the wind?" Do we go there? Or, do we bring them here? What can we do about the smell?

Garland will likely sue them in a civil procedure.
Like Small Claims Court.

I'm with 5 on this. Poke the bear. Then when the bear takes a swipe at us, 'out of an abundance of caution, we have decided to postpone the November election.' Preferably until after our next attempt is successful.

I find this interesting. We all know its an election con job. The dems must have polled the muslim community in Michigan and found that they lost them. So now they have to work on the Jewish vote in NY. Everything they do is for power over them, NOT for support.

Meaningless symbolism. Like our DOJ is good for anything but persecuting praying grandmas.
I strongly prefer the Israeli approach of just killing them.

So the "War on Terror" has devolved into "The Litigation on Terror"?
This administration proves, yet AGAIN, how incompetent it is in it's complete lack of understanding of what and who they are up against.
Remember how we laughed when some Euro trash administrator was going to arrest US citizens for misinformation and hate speech? Same thing. Toothless babble.

This is 11months, 11 months, after the sneak attack on Israel, but only 2 months before the Presidential election. Since none of these people have been captured, the charges are so much hot air. The only thing this shows is that the Democrats are afraid of losing the jewish vote.

If DOJ would pursue them with even half the effort they are expending to lock up President Trump, this might actually mean something, but it’s more likely an election ploy. But as others have said, this is not a criminal matter, it’s a war, and I pray Israel will report them “eliminated” shortly.

Four of the terrorists are deceased, one back in March! They can’t prosecute a dead man, this is merely a publicity stunt to show Biden/Kamala are tough on Hamas.

Could it be more obvious...the government waited till the election because polls proved more Jewish voters have decided to support President Trump...a little late considering all the dead hostages and torture of the remaining hostages...and where is the toddler they took hostage...what has happened to him...these animals have no soul....

Isn't the DOJ straying just a tad outside their lane? Or are they playing 'one world government; the early stages'? If the fedgovs know where the terrorists are, the military should just terminate the scum.
