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

Hillary: Hamas officials “largely technocrats”

Jun 17, 2014 10:06 am By Robert Spencer

This is reminiscent of James Clapper’s saying that the Muslim Brotherhood was “largely secular,” and shows yet again that Obama Administration officials have no idea what they’re dealing with in regard to Islamic jihadists, and are taking our nation and our allies on the road to ruin by continuing to ignore and downplay what the jihadist agenda really is.

“Hillary: Hamas Officials ‘Largely Technocrats,'” by Joel B. Pollak, Breitbart, June 16, 2014:

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told an audience in Toronto on Monday that she supported President Barack Obama’s decision to work with the Palestinian Authority’s new unity government, even though it includes the Hamas terror organization, because the new governing officials are “largely technocrats.”

“I think it’s a holding position,” Clinton said, describing Obama’s stance. “And the reason it’s a holding position is that the makeup of this joint [Fatah-Hamas] enterprise are largely technocrats. They’re academics and they’re business people. They don’t represent sort of, what you might call hard-core Hamas leadership.”

U.S. law prevents funding the Palestinian Authority if it is affiliated with Hamas, but as The Blaze reported last week, the new unity government exploits loopholes in American law by appointing ministers who are nominally “apolitical.”

The exercise is fictitious, however, as Hamas continues to carry out terror activities despite joining the unity government–including last week’s kidnappings, which were celebrated by both Palestinian factions.

In addition, Palestinian “technocrats,” such as former PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, often honor and support terrorists even though they may not be directly involved in terrorist activities themselves.

    Hillary Clinton (should be in jail)

    Sydenote:
    NO NEED TO MAKE A FEDERAL CASE OF THIS
    The woman accused of throwing a shoe at Hillary Clinton faces one misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct. She was booked and released from the Clark County Detention Center and is scheduled to head to court on June 24, according to the district attorney’s office.
    However, the feds want her “transferred” to a (federal facility) to do a mental health evaluation.
    In other words, they want to interrogate her in order to build a federal case against her.
    The woman accused of throwing a shoe at Hillary Clinton could get her up to two years in federal prison.
    Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton’s willful neglect and indifference assisted in the murder and cover up of four Americans in Benghazi is doing book tours and talking about running for president.

        But God ultimately gets the last laugh on Satan’s servants (Ps. 2:4).

        Shrillary Shroooooo thinks that anyone who can use a computer or print a plan for a building ipso facto cannot truly believe a traditional theism. Along with most middle class Midwestern Americans, she also cannot believe that anyone with whom she has ever sat down to dinner can be all bad.

        Either that, or she’s playing the American people for a nation of sheep. My own guess is the latter.

        Hillary = our next president, because we’re no longer a nation of laws since we devolved into a nation of acceptable symbols… like having a woman as president.

        ***

        The exercise is fictitious, however…

        Exercising a fictive reality frequently involves lowering the standard of proof. To take an off-topic example, the nation is now being asked to accept years of IRS emails based on the fact that nobody has stepped forward and confessed that the lost emails were caused by a computer crash. And by “confessed” I mean signed an affidavit to that effect in ink, with a countersignature by a notary public, all affirmed by a videographer recording the proceedings.

        Abbas and Fayadd have signed no such affidavits of confession, so it’s Hillary’s claim that these are technocrats unconnected to Islamic activism is believable… in a low information society.

    Bottom line: she can’t be trusted with important decisions or confidences; she’s already been tested by that 4-o-clock-in-the-morning phone call and found wanting. She’s unfit for any high office.

    Remember her “concussion” when she fell — a couple of years ago ?

    I thought then and still think that she fell in a drunken stupor — having been on a non-stop binge of alcohol, due to whatever guilt such a miserable human being could actually feel…

    And let me remind JW readers here that I am a lifelong Dem, but of course totally disgusted however with my “party” of seditious – treasonous privilege-guilt Islamoreality deniers.

        Jun 17, 2014 at 4:19 pm

        I’ll go ya one better: remember when she signed the draft OIC resolution to make it a felony to criticize a religion? She did so not once, but twice. Last I heard the UN global gubmint ain’t adopted it yet, but the Arabs and Hillary (our next president) are still working on it.

        Oh sure, some will say that Islam isn’t a religion, per se, and they’re right that Islam stands on a tripod of institutions, with government and military the other two. But, to paraphrase our next president, “What at this point difference does it make?!

    When Hillary… aka “Blondie” was running against Obama The Muslim for the Democratic nomination… she stated how she came under fire by military factions when she visited the Balkans. This of course was an outright lie.

    Then as Secretary of State “Blondie” is most infamously noted for her manipulation of the facts… in The Benghazi Scandal where her incompetence resulted in deaths of our Consulate Staff… including the gang-rape, torture and brutal slaughter of Ambassador Stevens.

    And now… she thinks evil masterminds of world terrorism are “paper pushing” administrators? What… just give them “humanitarian aid” and their little Palestinian bureaucracy will be a paradise of multi-culturalists wanting to get along with Jews, gays, Westerners and “Peace Symbol Flag” waving bare saggy breasted hippie chicks?

    Doe she not think the world notices her constant lies and falsehoods?

    Or maybe she is so narcissistic to think she is speaking the truth with the above? After all, tis woman bemoaned how “poor” she and Billy Boy were when they left the White House.

    Seriously? I am an American Indian who has lived in poverty. Blondie doesn’t know what the word means. She left the White House with book deals worth millions, moved into a huge mansion and had plans for furthering her own political career and all the $$$ that came with it. Yet in her recent complaints she wants us to feel sorry for her?

    And this incompetent idiot want to be the first woman President? I say no way Blondie!

    There have been many women in public service who are or were much more capable to run for the Presidency than Blondie. One woman I remember who was tough-as-nails, dignified, patriotic and a force to be reckoned with was the late Jeanne Kirkpatrick. She was a professor, member of a Presidential Cabinet and US Ambassador to the United Nations. She would have been an ideal candidate for higher office.

    There are other women out there as well who have qualifications that are worthy… and I am sure someday the United States will have either a woman President or Vice-President.

    However, I certainly hope it is not Blondie. President Blondie would not be a good thing.

    The Nazis were also largely technocrats.

    What part of the following words do people such as Hillary Clinton not understand?

    Hamas Covenant
    http://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp

    “Article Seven: …

    “‘…The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (evidently a certain kind of tree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews.'”

    Furthermore, and moreover, what of the ACTIONS of Hamas do people such as Hillary Clinton not understand?

    Furthermore, and moreover, what of the words and ACTIONS (mass-bombing attacks against Jewish civilians in Israel from 2000 to 2005 (until the security barrier between Israel and “The West Bank” (Judea and Samaria), and between Israel and the “Gaza Strip”, was built by the government of Israel to prevent such attacks); terrorist attacks against Jewish people outside of Israel in the 1970’s; Nazi-esque libeling and demonization and vilification of Jewish people and Israel on official Television media; repeated refusal of peace offers of land, by Israel, to establish a “Palestinian” additional Arab state (in addition to the already existing ‘Palestinian’ Arab state Jordan)) on the condition of the continued existence of the sole Jewish state Israel) by Fatah-PLO (“the Palestinian Authority”) do many people (including governmental officials of Israel) not understand?

    And, by the way, what of the following words do many people, including governmental officials of Israel, not understand?

    Fatah Constitution
    http://www.mythsandfacts.org/conflict/statute-treaties/fateh_constitution.htm

    “Article (19) Armed struggle is a strategy and not a tactic, and the Palestinian Arab People’s armed revolution is a decisive factor in the liberation fight and in uprooting the Zionist existence, and this struggle will not cease unless the Zionist state is demolished and Palestine is completely liberated.”

    What of the actual Nazi (Haj Amin al Husseini) pedigree of Fatah-PLO do people (including governmental officials of Israel) not understand?

      And what I view as being defending Jewish people and Israel is just standing up for what’s right.

      And I don’t want to single out and blame any individual particular person/politician for the predicament that Israel, and the world, is in. I’ve just been frustrated, and vexed, about the situation and I want to present facts which explain the situation.

      I posted my previous comment out of frustration and vexation, but I hope my posting my most recent previous comment is helpful anyway.

    This woman’s arrogance and *contempt* for her listeners intelligence, and her contempt for the American people is gobsmacking.

    The Politburo was composed of ‘technocrats’.
    The Nazi hierarchy was composed of ‘technocrats’.
    The architects of the Holocaust were ‘technocrats’.
    The CCP was, and is, composed of ‘technocrats’.

    Every totalitarian, fascist, communist state in the history of the world has had ‘technocrats’ at its heart. It would not be possible to run such a state without **technocrats**.

    It is the **technocrats** who lay the plans, work out the logistics, compile the statistics, decide the ways and means, and allocate the funds.

    The technocrats then give the orders, and the rest obey.

    Hillary knows more than she admits but supports the Terrorists. She tells the story by willfully leaving out many important facts. Hamas is recognized as a Terrorist Organization by the US. Mursi was part of the Muslim Brotherhood and has ties with Al Quada and Hamas. These are all Terrorists. The Egyptians protested and did not want the Muslim Brotherhood or Mursi. Hamas is responsible for the kidnapping of 3-Jews and many acts of Terror. Why should our money go to support Terror? This is my question. Abbas united with Hamas and is now linked with Terrorists openly. What do we need to wait for. Evil is evil. This woman is corrupt and evil.
