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

Islamic jihadists in Gaza fire rockets into Israel

Apr 21, 2014 10:21 pm By Robert Spencer

Gazarockets“Hamas has largely maintained a truce with Israel since a brief war in late 2012, but it has sometimes struggled to rein in smaller armed Islamist factions hostile to the Israel.” Actually, the opposite is true. Ramadan Shalah of Islamic Jihad recently said of his group and Hamas: “We both coordinate all our moves together, in war and peace. I’ll reveal something: Just days ago, I was the guest [in Qatar] of Abou Alwalid [Khaled Meshaal], and we held very detailed meetings to discuss almost everything, but mainly the resistance and the situation in Gaza, so whoever says there’s no coordination knows nothing. We agreed together on retaliating if there’s any attack.”

“Gaza rockets hit south Israel, army strikes back: officials,” Reuters, April 21 (thanks to Kenneth):

GAZA (Reuters) – Seven rockets fired from the Gaza Strip landed in southern Israel during the Jewish Passover holiday on Monday, drawing retaliatory air strikes from the Israeli army, officials said, the first cross-border clash in several weeks.

Israel’s army said its strikes hit two training camps run by Hamas, the Palestinian Islamist group that controls Gaza. Medical sources there said two Hamas militants were lightly wounded.

Hamas has largely maintained a truce with Israel since a brief war in late 2012, but it has sometimes struggled to rein in smaller armed Islamist factions hostile to the Israel.

There was no claim of responsibility for the latest rocket salvo from any of those factions, who are opposed to troubled peace talks between their Palestinian rivals in the occupied West Bank and Israel.

Two of the projectiles from Gaza exploded in the southern Israeli border community of Sderot in a road and an open area, Israeli police said. There were no reports of any injuries.

Israel holds Hamas responsible for any rocket fire from the Strip and routinely retaliates against it.

“Israeli civilians celebrating the Passover Holiday woke up this morning to the sound of Code-Red alarms and rockets … Hamas rocket terrorism is an intolerable reality Israelis should not have to accept,” Israeli army spokesman Peter Lerner said in a statement….

    There will come a time that israel will have to take the Gazans back to the glorious days of the 7th century – no water, no sewer, no electricity, no cellphone, no internet. Since Gaza is about 100% Muslim, serenity will be achieved, peace will blossom. It’s written in the Koran, so they keep telling me.

    Israel could & should be the savior of the Jews / Christians / Druzes around the middle east.
    Unless 0bama the (anti-)”Christian” wouldn’t let them, same about EU by the way.
    The facsist leftists turned their backs against democracy.

    Some American-liberals whine about the support to Israel, but yet the US supports Iran / Pakistan [etc.] and all their enemies way more than Israel.
    Good luck America, if you stop supporting Israel you’ll have no power at all in the middle-east, go on trust your enemies who shout “DEATH TO AMERICA”, we’ll see how you get along with Iran.

    sometimes struggled to rein in smaller armed Islamist factions hostile to the Israel.

    Yeah, I bet they try really hard, strain even
    Chief Sitting Bull, had that same problem with warriors. The army and the Indians were facing each other on a big field, out of gunshot range but visible to one another. The warriors were exited for battle and were becoming difficult to control. So Sitting Bull taught them a lesson. He walked out to the middle of the field within shot range, sat down and lit up a pipe. Immediately bullets were kicking up dust around him but he did not get hit. After a few moments he turned to his men and asked, ‘Anyone join me for a smoke’?, some of the chiefs including Crazy Horse, took up the challenge and sat with him. Bullets were flying all over but no one was hit. After a few minuets Sitting Bull told them they could return to their lines. They jumped up and ran back. Sitting Bull got up slowly, took a long look at the enemy and strolled casually back to the lines. The warriors were amazed.
    This story just shows that Sitting Bull was smarter than Hamas. His method worked and all he had to do was sit down and puff a pipe.

      Recently the IDF defense Minister said that ,”If we have to go
      back into GAZA we will bring them total war.”

    In the year 2011 Obama send 23 million to Hamas in Gaza. With a “friend” of Israel like Obama in the White House giving aid to the jihadist enemy “Who needs emenies” That may be an old saying but in this case nevertheless a true one. Hamas has in its history also murdered Americans and wounded many other Americans. Furthermore ,Obama in spite of send all those funds to the terrorist entity Hamas, Obama has greatly cut back on the funding of the US military. Obama should impeached ,removed from Office and then tried for treason.

      There are many more US politicians at the state and federal levels who should be arrested and tried on corruption charges, but considering the Justice Dept. has also been compromised/subverted, that’s not going to happen.

    It is time to take our head out of the sand! Muslims are trained from childhood to be predators. Very few of them overcome that early training. They have to be dealt with as the animal/pre-humans that they are. There is no redemption for them.
