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

Hamas spokesman encourages Gazans to serve as human shields

Jul 10, 2014 11:27 am By Robert Spencer

Yet even after this open avowal, the Western media, Barack Obama and the United Nations will continue to pretend that Israel is racking up civilian casualties with callous disregard for human life. Their moral myopia is unconscionable.

“Hamas Spokesman Encourages Gazans to Serve as Human Shields: It’s Been Proven Effective,” MEMRI, July 8, 2014:

Following are excerpts from an interview with Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri, which aired on Al-Aqsa TV on July 8, 2014:

Interviewer: “Are people still going up to the rooftops?”

Ayad Abu Rida (Reporter) : “Witnesses told us that there is a large gathering, and people are still going to the Kawari family house, in order to prevent the Zionist occupation’s warplanes from targeting it.”

Interviewer: “What is your comment about this? People are reverting to the (human-shield) method, which proved very successful in the days of martyr Nizar Riyan…”

Sami Abu Zuhri: “This attests to the character of our noble, Jihad-fighting people, who defend their rights and their homes with their bare chests and their blood. The policy of people confronting the Israeli warplanes with their bare chests in order to protect their homes has proven effective against the occupation. Also, this policy reflects the character of our brave, courageous people. We in Hamas call upon our people to adopt this policy, in order to protect the Palestinian homes.”

    HAMAS IS USING PALESTINIAN CIVILIANS AS HUMAN SHIELDS
    As the conflict between Israel and the Palesitnians intensifies, reports show that Hamas is using its own people as human shields.

      The Hamas cowards severally boast that “we love death more than you (Jews) love life.”
      Yet when confronted with awesome Israeli military power, instead of living up to their Jihadist hype and face death boldly, the lily-livered Hamas terrorists who are only good at attacking defenceless civilians, cower shamelessly behind women and children.

    They can’t, won’t, spend all their days on the roof top. Eventually they’ll leave. Lots of Ramadan gouging to be done tonight for example.

    Then blow it to smithereens. Israel will have done its honorable part by having given warning.

    The world doesn’t have enough brain repairers (psychiatrists, psychologists) to correct the mental damage by Islam.

      Actually, the WEST needs more proctologists–TO SEE THE LEADERS AND THE USELESS NATIONS PEOPLE, TO TAKE THEIR BRAINS OUT OF THEIR ANAL PORES.

      Too many westerners and their leaders-starting with Obama, and including Shillery and ketchup kerry in the US, have their brains up their butts.

      In my opinion.

    Among WAR CRIMES listed in the GENEVA CONVENTIONS:
    -targeting civilians
    -use of human shields

    The Pallie leaders should be indicted by the World Court for crimes against humanity.

      The U.N. and the world courts will NEVER indite muslims for war crimes. Remember, they can do no wrong.

    Watched through the British lunchtime TV news. It was wall to wall footage of the damage caused by Israeli air strikes in Gaza.
    Copious close up shorts of hysterical ranting and raving from “Palestinians” playing their favourite role of ” Muslim victims” of Israeli brutality.
    All rounded up by a straight faced, on site British reporter stating that ” Hamas has started firing rockets back into Israel”,
    leaving the viewer in no doubt that the ” Palestinians” had been forced to respond to unprovoked attacks by the nasty Jews.

    Of course, we won’t be seeing Hamas “spokesman” Sami Abu Zuhri up on those roofs.

    No, that is for Allah’s lesser slaves to do.

    Abu Zuhri has a much more important job to do, down in the bunkers.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    And what’s really shocking is that mohammedans subscribe to this insanity …ok shocking but not surprising; since they’re so *brainwashed* by the evil tenets of islam.

    Just more evidence that Islam is for sickos and the confused.

    The post is rather kind in calling it merely “moral myopia” for the POTUS and his entourage not to call Fatah, Hamas and the other evil Muslim brothers on their acknowledged industry of human-shield death for their own Muslim people (women, children, the elderly and whatever jihadist soldiers of the moment aren’t lobbing rockets into Israel).

    I’m praying in line with this idea for Israel, the Jewish people and Israeli leaders: “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.” Judges 6:12.

    If the POTUS would so recently sell out the security of the Judeo-Christian American people while claiming he has not done so (e.g., the demise of secure southern U.S. borders in a post-9/11 age of global Islamic terrorism, the de facto failure to protect the anti-terrorism “no fly” list by legal tactical choices of questionable merit), he will likewise not hesitate to sell out Israel. Of course he won’t admit the hidden agenda. He never does, people want to believe, and then the harm has already been done and continues to worsen.

    The following link is an example of taqqiyah in the press from the city of Los Angeles which designated this month of Ramadan its Muslim-American appreciation month. (Sure, don’t we all appreciate the wonderful Muslim contributions to U.S. culture like 9/11 and Fort Hood?) http://www.latimes.com/world/middleeast/la-fg-israel-hamas-conflict-20140709-story.html

    Later with a different Islamic-named photographer credited, the NY Times ran a similar taqiyyah banner photo of the same women in the same head scarves. It’s been replaced since with a different photo of a Muslim mother grieving her son surrounded by Muslim men. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/11/world/middleeast/israel-gaza.html?_r=0 (At least the photo op put her out of wife-beating or “honor”-killing range by her fellow Muslims for awhile.)

    In the pro-Islam-big-oil-big-banks-bailout new American world represented by what the LA Times and the NY Times are doing in the two biggest U.S. cities — and after SCOTUS (by the inaptly named “Citizens United” decision) gave both sides of the U.S. two-party political system equal access to unlimited corporate funding to invent slick media campaigns and media-blasting to a low-information electorate — do we really think the next President even if a Republican will be any better for the rest of us citizens?

    As a Christian who’s now sorted out an end-times prophetic exegesis from the nonsense and wishful thinking as well as the more relevant information about the Bible and history, I’m praying a lot. In general I’m praying:
    (1) for blessing upon the Jewish people,
    (2) for blessing upon the Jewish homeland as given by God,
    (3) that I and those I love (family, friends, others who are sincere Jews and Christians including Messianic Jews, Hebrew Christians and any sincere converts or other devotees among Arab Christians) escape all harm that may happen,
    (4) that evil be constrained to ineffectiveness and the leadership of the U.S. be freed from evil influences wherever possible consistent with God’s end-times plan while awaiting ultimate victory by Jesus Christ,
    (5) that U.S. and other leaders of countries not run overtly by Muslims become bolder in their Christian or Jewish faith (or that atheists or agnostics be converted to faith) so that the true God might work and act through them for the greater good in countries that allow people the freedom of (and from) religion,
    (6) that Islam fall and fail finally as a world religion by spontaneous or missionary conversions or other dispensation of the true God working through people or by “acts of God,” and
    (7) that the will of the true God of the Bible (not the faker “Allah”) be done in all things, also sending those of us who faithfully believe the counsel and the comfort of the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh).
