Hamas negotiating arms deal with North Korea

Jul 27, 2014 4:09 pm By Robert Spencer

hamas_2987764b“Hamas is looking for ways to replenish its stocks of missiles because of the large numbers it has fired at Israel in recent weeks. North Korea is an obvious place to seek supplies because Pyongyang already has close ties with a number of militant Islamist groups in the Middle East.”

Axis of evil.

“Hamas and North Korea in secret arms deal,” by Con Coughlin, the Telegraph, July 26, 2014:

Hamas militants are attempting to negotiate a new arms deal with North Korea for missiles and communications equipment that will allow them to maintain their offensive against Israel, according to Western security sources.

Security officials say the deal between Hamas and North Korea is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and is being handled by a Lebanese-based trading company with close ties to the militant Palestinian organisation based in east Beirut.

Hamas officials are believed to have already made an initial cash down payment to secure the deal, and are now hoping that North Korea will soon begin shipping extra supplies of weapons to Gaza.

“Hamas is looking for ways to replenish its stocks of missiles because of the large numbers it has fired at Israel in recent weeks,” explained a security official. “North Korea is an obvious place to seek supplies because Pyongyang already has close ties with a number of militant Islamist groups in the Middle East.”

Using intermediaries based in Lebanon, Hamas officials are said to be intensifying their efforts to sign a new agreement with Pyongyang to provide hundreds of missiles together with communications equipment that will improve the ability of Hamas fighters to coordinate operations against Israeli forces….

    The only thing that has yet to occur? An open declaration of war against this axis of totalitarian powers. Trouble is, in this age of globalisation and corrupt plutocratic elites, every nation is bound up with every other, good and bad. Where do the fault lines lie and against whom should war be declared?

      ” Where do the fault lines lie and against whom should war be declared? ”

      The fault belongs to Islam.

      All non-Muslim states should declare war on all Muslim states, forcing the leadership of those Muslim states to outlaw Islam.

    If Palestinians including Hamas acknowledge Israelis as fellow human beings
    and furthermore accept Israel’s right to exist will that make the not ‘good’ Muslims according to the verses of the Qur’an.

    Instead of rejecting Israel’s right to exist the should reject the Koran’s right to exist.

    Why would Hamas have to go to a communist power half-way around the world to broker an arms deal, when there are numerous militant Islamic groups nearby in the middle east such as Hezbollah and ISIS. I’m sure these organizations would be happy to supply Hamas with reinforcements of arms, and even join forces with them in Gaza and the West Bank.

      Iran, Hezbollah, and Qatar are conduits for transshipping these North Korean weapons.

      … because hamas is seeking alternative source for weapons and supplies. The syrian civil war has been a disruption for arms shipment from iran. If iranian and north korean supply routes are taken out, hamas can only go to the more expensive and perhaps less reliable blackmarket.

    North Korea operates with immunity because they have the Bomb. Wait until Iran has the Bomb. We are closer today to a nuclear Holocaust then during the Cold War.

    The Gaza war will end when the Muslims of Gaza ask themselves what the Hamas does with its money. Why don’t they build homes instead of tunnels? Buy better living conditions for its people instead of spending on arms. Hamas has no cares for the gaza people. If the Muslims had the capacity to see this, which most don’t, they would rise up and slaughter Hamas. Then the war would end. However they are blinded by hate, either too stupid or ignorant of who their occupiers are. And the Americans, who know very little about what is happenning attack Israel as the only cause of suffering.

    If you Google for Philadelphi Corridor many have looked at the map. The only way to win for Netanyahu is to occupy that little strip beween Gaza and Egypt where most goods come and the new terrorists immigrate. It seems insane not to do it immediately – unless that is one thing his government has succeeded in keeping silent about. He is also legally allowed to do it since Oslo. Just does not “want” or maybe Obama does not want or Kerry – as it had worked better than the present activity.
