This is clearly an effort to “strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60), and shows yet again that even in the extremely unlikely event that Mahmoud Abbas signed a peace agreement with the Israelis, he wouldn’t be able to enforce it upon Hamas and Islamic Jihad, et al. They would consider their violent jihad, and the Israelis would be completely within their rights to defend themselves, despite the international opprobrium that would rain down upon them.
“Hamas Sends Threatening Text Messages to Israelis,” from IPT News, March 24:
Hamas sent text messages to various Israeli cellphones threatening rocket attacks and kidnaping. Commemorating the 10th anniversary of Israel’s assassination of Hamas leader Sheik Ahmed Yassin, Hamas sent four different messages Saturday evening. According to Ynet, the messages were also sent to government ministers, their spokespeople, and some journalists.
Some messages included: “A warning to Zionists. Kassam rockets are waiting with you. If you want the life then leave our country.”
“Al-qassam has chosen you to be the next Shalite … Be Ready” referring to former kidnapped solider Gilad Schalit.
“Israel established the injustice and the occupation and the fate of every entity of injustice and occupation is destruction… the Shaheed [“martyr”] Ahmed Yassin.”
Some of the messages were written in grammatically incorrect Hebrew.
Meanwhile, tens of thousands rallied in Gaza to commemorate the anniversary of Yassin’s death. Hamas PM Ismail Haniyeh used the opportunity to call on Abbas to end peace negotiations with Israel. “No to negotiations, no to compromise and yes to resistance,” Haniyeh proclaimed to the cheering crowd.
Facing a hostile, military-ruled Egypt and a growing economic crisis in the Gaza Strip, Hamas may be looking to repair relations with Iran in hopes of gaining more assistance. Iran withdrew much of its financial aid after Hamas sided with rebels in Syria’s civil war. Iran’s Lebanese terror proxy Hizballah has provided vital support for dictator Bashar al-Assad’s regime.
Even though Egypt has destroyed many of the smuggling tunnels into Gaza, Hamas continues to re-arm and develop their missile capabilities. Recently, Israel intercepted a shipment of advanced weaponry intended for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist organization; however, Israeli officials believe some of the weapons were destined for Hamas as well, in effort to bait the terrorist group back into the Iranian camp.

I read that this was a trick to get Israelis to reply at very expensive text rates. Not sure if it’s true.
Silvia says
It’s a pity most here don’t know Hebrew because the texts in “Hebrew” were HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!

Rockets are two-way and these morons will understand soon that incoming have priority.
billreitzes says
Do you think that you scare them with incoming rockets?
Death for allah is the highest of their aspirations.

Jews were in Israel LONG before Muslims. Muslims are squatters wherever you find them
Champ ✿ says
islam = religion of peace?
Nah!
islam = religion of threatening thugs!
Alec Bursop says
These terrorists need to step very carefully here, as they could end up receiving a lot more than they bargained for.
Every day Western and Israeli technology is advancing by leaps and bounds so believe this, you will be found – there is absolutely no doubt of that.
Transmaster says
I rather like the text messages the Mossad has done to Hamas holy warriors they switched out their cell phones and replaced them with phones with C4 plastic Kaboom batteries they would then call these warriors of virtue on their secret Allah Akbar number. The sweet thing is the Mossad agent on the would wait until the Holy Warrior of Islam answered the agent would give him a cheery greeting and push the button that blew his head clean off his shoulders.

It is not safe to assume that Kerry or obaMUD are aware of this or even care.The survival of Israel is not their concern.
jewdog says
These guys make my mother-in-law sound nice.
Notice the reference to Israel as “our country”. This is the sort of narcissism one so often finds in Islamic culture, and reflects the supremacism and zero sum thinking so prevalent in the Islamic scriptures. Ali Sina of faithfreedom.org has analyzed the psychology of Mohammad as narcissistic, and that is reflected to this day in his followers attitudes.

Israel is a small country with a huge parking problem.
It is about time they rezone Gazza as a parking lot
and proceed to level the site.

Not a parking lot.
VINEYARDS.
During the late Middle Ages (1480s), the dhimmi Jews in what is now the “Gaza strip” had vineyards: they grew grapes and made wine.
Incidentally, one of the great classic hymns of Judaism, the “Sabbath hymn”, Ya ribon Olam, was composed in Aramaic, in Gaza, circa 1600, by Rabbi Israel Najara (d. 1625).

More recently the Jews of Gaza had high tech greenhouses. Greenhouses worth tens of millions of dollars that were left behind to the muslo0nazi apes — who proceeded to destroy them.

Thoughts for the day.
As and when Israel decides that it is necessary to go in and *really* give jihad armed-camp Gaza a richly-deserved hammering, all Friends of Israel here present really need to be ready to act – en masse – *before* the assorted Mohammedan mobsters and their Useful Idiots start holding the usual “Death to the Jews!” marches and rallies in the streets of western cities and in university campuses.
The *moment* that the news comes through that Israel really has started hammering the jihad gang bosses and mobsters in Gaza, *we* have to be all ready to fire off our letters to 1/ our heads of state 2/ our elected representatives and 3/ Israel’s diplomatic reps in the countries where we respectively reside. Those letters will state, loud and clear, our support for Israeli Jewish self-defence against the would-be genocidal jihad. They will speak of Islamic Jew-hatred, state that it is hard-wired into the canonical texts and jurisprudence of Islam, and identify it as *the* driver of the Arab Muslim and other Muslim wars upon the Jewish state of Israel.
And we should be figuring out a procedure for backing our letters up by holding *pro-Israel* marches and rallies as quickly as possible.
Ideally, there should be coordinators who, in *each* city or university campus right across the modern West, have the names and phone numbers of at least 100 people who have previously stated that they are willing and able to drop everything at short notice (or at most, two or three days’ notice) and rally in that city or on that campus. These coordinators should know what the rules are in their city, or their university campus, for holding lawful rallies and / or marches, and should also have already established liaison with police officers and public officials (perhaps by involvement with the arranging of less controversial events such as Hanukkah menorah-lightings or Shoah commemorations).
If the IAF starts flying sorties into Gaza, or if the IDF decides they need to use “boots on the ground”, then our coordinators would swing into action and get the rallies, prayer vigils and psalm-recitations (for the safety of civilians in Israel, for protection of Israeli soldiers from capture and torture by Mohammedans, and for the Defeat of the Jihad ), sit-ins and marches happening. The aim should be to *pre-empt* the mohammedan insta-mobs by getting out in public in large numbers *first* and showing the mobsters that lots of people do support Israel and Israel’s right of self-defence.
I can’t volunteer to do the organising because ideas, not organisation, are my strong suit. But if I knew there was someone in my hometown, or on the campus of its biggest university, who *was* such an organiser, then I’d be happy to give that person my name, and I’d be ready to “scramble” when summoned. (Another thought: in certain places – such as Sydney – people intending to be at a pro-Israel Event should probably have pre-arranged “rally buddies”, so as to travel to and from such Events in twos or threes).

I don´t understand why people are being so unreasonable. !!!!!
Its time the British stopped occupying Muslim Britain, the French- Muslim France, the Swedes- Muslim Sweden.
Its also high time the Americans and Canadians got the xxxx out off the Muslims lands of Canada and the USA.
Its the right of the Muslims to drive the invaders out of their Muslim lands.
What is so difficult to understand about that.!!!!!!!!
duh_swami says
Your country? You don’t own anything you buggers. Not the ground you stand on not the cloths you wear, not the cash in your pocket. If you actually own all that, try and take it with you when you die. And if you continue attacking Israel, you may very well die. Then you will see how much you really own.
Tommy Peters says
I warned Hamas about their ‘angry’ messages not because a Jew pioneered the SMS but because they invented comedy, as well.
Judi says
Methinks Israel has taken enough of this bulls**t , and should retake Gaza completely. Enough is enough. No half measures this time!! Drive all the f**ckers into the sea once and for all!!
Charli Main says
Well said and seconded in spades.
Also, reduce that Satanic obscenity defiling the Holy Mount to rubble and dump the bits on Mecca.
Defcon 4 says
I concur completely. It’s not like the muslimes will ever hate Jews or Israel anymore than they already do. And who cares if they do? Let them hate, as long as they fear.
Marty says
It might be fun to text back with such missives as “go mate with your cousin” or “death to hamas”.

Who’s surprised by this? Pious Muslims can take almost any beneficent invention and use it to threaten or kill.
