Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Iran resumes financial assistance to Hamas

Mar 25, 2014 1:36 pm By Robert Spencer

A money changer holds Iranian currency as he waits for customers in Tehran's business districtAfter a brief interval caused by the widening Sunni-Shi’ite jihad, the Iranian mullahs have resumed their financial aid to Hamas. Apparently, even though the aid is at a lower level than before, Islamic antisemitism trumps Shi’ite hatred for Sunnis. My brother against my brother, and both of us against our cousin, goes the old saying.

“Iran Resumes Financial Assistance to Hamas,” from IPT News, March 25:

Facing increasing pressure from Egypt and deteriorating economic conditions in Gaza, Hamas has been flirting with the notion of re-entering the Iranian camp. Now, Al-Monitor is reporting that Iranian monetary aid has officially resumed to Hamas, but at a lower level than that it provided before ties between the two broke. The report also cited a source close to Hamas’ political leadership who says Iran is planning to receive Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal. Qatar was mediating discussions between Iran and Hamas in an effort to restore ties, after a two-year hiatus.

Syria’s civil war led to the split. Iran, trying to protect its Shiite axis, backed dictator Bashar al-Assad and ordered its Lebanese terror proxy Hizballah to help shore up the regime. Hamas, a Sunni movement, allied with anti-Assad rebels.

Iranian Shura Council head Ali Larijani announced the resumption of relations between the two sides on March 10. Larijani stated that “Iran is supporting Hamas on the grounds that it is a resistance movement. … Our relationship with [Hamas] is good and has returned to what it was. We have no problems with [Hamas].” It is clear that their differences in Syria do not trump Hamas and Iran’s shared desire to facilitate Israel’s destruction.

The Israeli Navy recently intercepted an Iranian ship earlier this month that carrying advanced weaponry for the Gaza strip. Even though Palestinian Islamic Jihad was the likely recipient of most of the payload, Israel officials believe some of the arms were meant for Hamas as well. Military-ruled Egypt is increasingly isolating Hamas and engaging in a concerted campaign to destroy the terrorist organization’s smuggling tunnels. This new report showing renewed financial assistance demonstrates that Hamas is on its way to fully restoring ties with its Iranian patron.

    No matter how much funds and supplies the Mullahs of Iran send to Hamas they will all fail in their agenda to destroy the State of Israel. The mullah and Hamas members are all fated to lose in the end in their goal to do away with Israel. This and because Hamas member and the mullahs are striving against the Will of God. For God has given this area of land in the Middle East to the Jewish people. In other words , this land that is the State of Israel belong to the Jews by Divine Right [the Bible] As, for example , seen in Genesis 28:13-15. 35:10-12. Deuteronomy 32:48,49. Psalms 105:7-11. 135:4. The land also belongs to the Jewish people by historic rights.As shown in First Kings 4:20,21,24,25. 8:55,56. So even if the Mullah of Iran and the Hamas member may not know it ,they are wicked because they are working against the Will of the God of the Bible . Thus even though the Mullahs of Iran may join their forces with the leaders of Hamas they will in the end still all lose and lose hard. For God had declared in Proverbs 11:21. “Though hand join in hand the wicked shall not go unpunished.” [K.J.V.]

    In all fairness, there is one way for the Mullahs of Iran and the leaders of Hamas to succeed in their agenda to do away with Jewish State of Israel. For there is one way that they can convince God to change His Mind in love for Israel and thus to has God turn His back of Israel and thus have that nation be no more. That way is for the mullah of Iran and leaders of Hamas to change the laws of astrophysics, including that of the sun, the moon and the stars. For God had said in His Word, the Bible, in Jeremiah 31:35.36. “Thus saith the Lord, which gives the sun for a light by day and the ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night… The Lord of host is His name. If those ordinances depart from before Me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me forever.”

      The good Jews accepted Chrisianity. The Zionists here are Pharisees, the killers and deniers of prophet Isa. They are the apes and pigs.

        Mohammed invented stories to denigrate opponents to his spurious revelations. Hadith writers continued the tradition of lies, inventing half a million little anecdotes about Mohammed. The mullahs continue this tradition and invent whatever story is necessary to serve the current agenda. Islam does not examine the truth of stories, but encourages blind following and the most backward obscurantism, such as your own.

      I am not a Facebook user but I would guess it sounds like when you click on the Facebook icon it takes you the Facebook log on screen in a separate window to allow you to log into Facebook to share link.
      Maybe one other of the commenters on JW who use Facebook could add more info on the process.

      Below is some general info about applets on webpages:
      During the early years of the Web, Java applets provided a way for webmasters to add interactive features that were not possible with basic HTML. However, in recent years, applets have been slowly replaced by newer technologies such as jQuery and HTML 5. Some browsers, like Google Chrome, no longer support the tag, and others, like Apple Safari, do not even enable Java by default. Since web developers cannot fully rely on Java support from web browsers, applets are no longer a common way to provide interactive content on the Web.

    Which Hamas ally donates more — the ayatollers from Iran or khaliafa Barak Hussein from DC?

    When will Hamas have sufficient donations to hire donkeys and migrate back to Jordan, where they sort of once belonged?
