Now wait a minute. What about the Arabic-speaking Christians who are joining the IDF in increasing numbers? Are Hamas’s rockets so sophisticated that they can distinguish not only Jews from Arabs, but Arabs who are loyal to the Jewish state from those who are aligned with the jihad? Now that’s impressive indeed!
And isn’t Fawzi Barhoum’s boast here openly racist? — not that Leftists care about actual racism, of course.
“Hamas to Israeli Arabs: Have No Fear, Our Missiles Target Only the Hebrews,” MEMRI, July 11, 2014 (thanks to Pamela Geller):
Following are excerpts from an interview with Hamas Spokesman Fawzi Barhoum, which aired on Al-Aqsa TV on July 11, 2014:
Fawzi Barhoum: We say to [Israeli Arabs], living in Haifa, Jaffa, Acre, Lod, Ramla, and the Negev: The rockets fired by the Al-Qassam Brigades will not hit you. We know those parts. We are familiar with the geography and with the history. Not a single Arab Palestinian child will be hit by one of our missiles. Our rockets are aimed at the Hebrews, the murderers, the Israelis, the criminals. Don’t be afraid. Go on with your everyday life, and celebrate our victory, just like we will celebrate it here, in Gaza.
[…]
We say to our people in Haifa: The missiles of Al-Qassam will not hit any Arab home. Rest assured, our missiles accurately target the homes of the Israelis and the Zionists. As Arabs, Muslms and Christians, you must support Gaza in the streets, by demonstrations, with slogans. You must besiege consulates of European countries supporting the occupation.
miriam rove says
this is great. It shows his true face. A jew hater like the rest of the jihadists…m
Richie says
which is why so many leftists support the Jihadists, they share their hatred of Jews and want Israel emptied of Jews
el-cid says
And, there ability to abandon rationality altogether for a cause.
What kind of a superstitious, moronic, stupid group of people can be spoken to like this? They do not think at all. They are doomed.
In the US or Canada this kind of claim would make you a laughing stock.
Or, maybe not. People voted for Obama. Yes we can!
Richie says
To give the impression that they are not rabid Jew haters, leftists use self loathing Jews like Noam Chomsky and Norman Finkelstein to do their Israel bashing for them
Huck Folder says
Left = sinister, evil = islam, together = SINISLAM
AnneM says
Not surprised. When you hate Israel, you hate both the God of the Holy Bible and the Jews.
Elliott says
He is definitely covering his donkey (sorry his ass). If you recall, at the beginning of July a mortar rocket from Syria, which landed in the Golan Heights (in the north-east of Israel) killed a young arab boy, and seriously wounded the boy’s father.
Somehow, this didn’t make headline news in the lefty press.
Elliott says
At the end of a report of journalists trying to access the crash site of the Malaysia Airlines B777 shot down by a terrorist’s rocket:
“… it is a group of gunmen who still dictate the terms of life and death.”
As in Ukraine as in Gaza????!!!!
Hamas terrorists commit war crimes (firing from among civilians at civilians). Russian separatists shoot down a civilian airliner.
Katie Norcross says
Right and I have a bridge to sell you. It is really cheap, an antique. You pay shipping and handling.
Silvia says
And I thought the idiocy record couldn’t be broken twice in one day. I was wrong. First ISIS are really Jews and now this.
Two Bedouin sisters (11, 13) were gravely wounded a few days ago. At least one rocket fell inside Hebron.
MFing bigoted loons.
Ralph says
Just like God said, “He will be as a Wild Donkey and his hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand will be against him.” Sorry bunch of Idiot Muslim’s.
john spielman says
wow , what a foolish man, he thinks all the arab muslims must be a bunch of KOOL AID drinkers and will follow HAM ASS into the abyss!
jewdog says
Meanwhile, their rockets have fallen on the electrical cables that supply power to the Gaza residents from Israel, tens of thousands of whom are now sitting in the dark. They must be Jewish cables.
Beagle says
The Gharkad Cables
They’d better beware of the Gharkad rockets.
Wellington says
Looniness, boasting and a delight in other peoples’ suffering can regularly be found among Muslims, far more so, almost infinitely more so, than can be found in followers of any other major faith. It serves as just another example of how dysfunctional and warped the Islamic faith truly is.

Greetings:
As to your headline, my understanding is that that’s what Abu Allahu Akbar, the local used missile salesman, told them to seal the deal.
Undaunted says
More Muslim arrogance. It’s known in certain circles that, when shooting up various targets, human and otherwise, jihadis don’t aim but trust their “god” to direct the bullets into the body of the infidel. So, it’s just another moronic extrapolation for them to assert that their missiles won’t hit Arabs.
Beagle says
Insh’allah fatalism when applied to things like aiming and aircraft maintenence produces tragicomic results.
apran says
If any Hamas rocket hits the Arabs, including the Arabs in Gaza, it must have been the work of the Jews. The Jews are very smart, they control the whole world and even can make birds, rats and other animals their spies.
I wonder why Islamic god doesn’t help the muslims from the Jews tirany.
Beagle says
One must conclude that Allah prefers Jews over Muslims. And Allah knows best.
gravenimage says
Hamas says its rockets will hit only Jews, not Arabs in Israel
…………………………………..
Several things here.
The most obvious, of course, is the utter absurdity of the statement—not even crack Israeli forces could guarantee anything analogous, and especially the chaotic, slovenly, and haphazard Hamas cannot.
This is indicative of two things: first, that while Muslims have no objection to the violent targeting of Jews, that they do occasionally have a problem with the deaths of their fellow coreligionists. This is—no matter how fancifully—intended to assuage those fears.
Secondly, note the assumption—in most cases quite accurate, I’m afraid—that most Muslim in Israel don’t consider themselves Israeli at all, and will have no problem with the murder of their *Jewish* countrymen.
All too many Muslims in Israel—including those members *of the Knesset*—represent nothing less than a fifth column in that civilized nation, just awaiting her destruction.
And the bit about Christian Arabs is just thrown in as an afterthought—Muslims just hope many Arab Christians retain enough dhimmitude that they will listen to such nonsense.
Sarah L Nield says
(Sarcasm alert!)
Now come on, be fair! Hamas knows best. It’s super special guided rockets can sniff out Jews and even if there is a Jew and an Arab standing together it will hit the Jew and not harm the Arab. But only adult Jews. No children at all will be harmed.
While the Israel air force has super special guided bombs that land on children and only on children and almost always only above the neck.
But I thought the main complaint of the pro Palestinians in the west was about how unfair it is, about how the Zionists (when they mean Jews) have massive planes and bombs that bomb and destroy and kill where Hamas (when they mean Muslim) rockets weren’t much more powerful than the rockets used at firework displays to entertain people?
So which is it?
Given that most of those campaigners against Zionism are unabashed anti-Semites, the answer seems to be, whatever harms Jews physically or through bad press.
Liza says
It’s tempting to laugh at the preposterousness of this kind of claim, but the propensity among Arabs for superstitious, magical, irrational beliefs, it is quite likely that this guy will be believed.
Silvia says
1 dead man, 2 injured women, 3 injured kids (one of them a 4 months baby in critical condition) in Israel today – ALL Bedouin Arabs.
You were saying, Fawzi Barhoum?
Cannibals.
Aardvark says
But obviously those were not real mohammedans!
G179 says
Oops – the first casualty of the rockets is an arab bedouin from the Negev desert.
Elisheva 14 says
Lying to us seems stupid. Our politicians use similar tactics. Weren’t we promised that Obamacare would not add a penny to our deficit. The government claims that they are doing all the can to secure our borders. There are many example of this. Man tends to be a gullible being. Many people still believe that Obama supports Israel.
David Barrett says
Well he has lost this one . Managed to kill an Arab today and wound his family
Lorem Bull says
So while the typical missile is electronically guided, their missiles are politically guided? We use a CPU (Central Processing Unit) in our missiles, they use a CRPU (Central Rhetoric Processing Unit) in theirs.
Yandos says
2 hours ago a rocket hit a Muslim Bedouin house, killing him and injuring his daughter seriously – She is now in an Israeli hospital where they are fighting for her life.
G179 says
It seems that the illiterate guys at the launch sites are screwing up and using the jew/non-jew switch on the rockets incorrectly!
Randall says
The Hamas has claimed multiple time to have the keys to the gates of Hell, so why wouldn’t they lie like their Daddy, who was a liar and a murderer from the beginning?
Xmystic says
Nasr says
which terrorist? must have been the european ‘jews’ right?
Sad, such a beautiful country of arab and jews got invade by europeans looking jews or so.. as they claim to have faith in judaism, causing calamity for decades and stealing lands for years and years.
