Is this Hamas trying to deflect its responsibility for these jihad murders? That remains a possibility. In any case, this group is situating itself as purer and truer in its Islamic observance than Palestinian Authority leaders, who do not, after all, belong to a caliphate: “To the leadership of the heretic [Palestinian] Authority: We have surprises for you that will shake your thrones and end your aggression against Muslims in the West Bank and Gaza. You have killed us and and rebelled against God … wait for us, we will come to slaughter and kill you. We shall not fail the oppressed Muslims until we free every believer from your prisons.”
“Jihadist group takes credit for teens’ killings,” by Elhanan Miller, Times of Israel, July 3, 2014:
A new Palestinian jihadist group pledging allegiance to the Islamic State (formerly known as ISIL) has claimed responsibility for the killing of three Israeli teenagers last month in the West Bank, as well as other recent deadly attacks against Israeli soldiers and civilians.
In a statement posted on jihadi websites Tuesday, the Supporters of the Islamic State in Bayt al-Maqdis said it was behind the capture and killing of “the three soldiers” in Hebron (actually, it was in the nearby Etzion bloc), sniper attacks in Hebron and Tarqumia, and missile launches from Gaza into Israel a month and a half ago.
The actions were carried out in honor of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self-proclaimed “caliph” of the Islamic State, the reincarnation of the Islamic State in Syria and the Levant (ISIL) declared last month, the statement said.
“We are not a partisan group like the humiliated organizations, many of whose leaders sold their religion for the benefit of politics,” the communique read, in a critique of both Fatah and Hamas.
“They have entered polytheistic parliaments and allied themselves with heathens and Shiite leaders, transferring their preaching and religion to the West Bank and Gaza, God help us.”…
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has held Hamas responsible for the killing of Gil-ad Shaar, Naftali Fraenkel and Eyal Yifrah on June 12. On Wednesday, Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri refuted a report by Sky News Arabia claiming that the movement’s political chief Khaled Mashaal had denied Hamas’s involvement. Abu Zuhri said Hamas “has no information on the subject.”
Israel’s two prime suspects in the killing – Marwan Kawasme, 29, and Amar Abu Aysha, 32 — are both member of Hamas activists in Hebron.
The jihadist statement threatened both Israel and Palestinian Authority leaders with death and destruction.
“Our message to the Jews in Bayt al-Maqdis [the Islamic term for Jerusalem] and its environs: by occupying the land of the Muslims in Palestine … you have opened a door that cannot be shut unless you leave [the land] humiliated … or [are] killed, the way you found the putrid bodies of your three soldiers. We carry in our pockets black days for you.
“To the leadership of the heretic [Palestinian] Authority: We have surprises for you that will shake your thrones and end your aggression against Muslims in the West Bank and Gaza. You have killed us and and rebelled against God … wait for us, we will come to slaughter and kill you. We shall not fail the oppressed Muslims until we free every believer from your prisons.”…

Look my dear Jewish elder brothers and sisters…
Do whatever you have to, in order to defend yourselves in your ancient traditional homeland, the tiny and precious Land of Israel.
Kick the backsides of these greedy megalomaniacal rabidly-Jewhating Mohammedan imperialists. HARD.

A bit off the exact topic.
BUT has anyone noticed the deafening SILENCE of Ketchup Kerry; Shillery; Nobama ( except to urge Hamas and Israel to ‘ show restraint”– when will he tell hamas to ‘show restraint” in their attack against Serdot and other municipalities); and the Useless Nations (which for some time denied the teens were kidnapped, thens aid, something like, we are sorry, it is a shame). But one Muslim rabble rosuer throwing rockjs is injured, emergency meetings, etc.
But, did anyone else notice?
Jaladhi says
And you forgot the loaded headlines and photos of NYTimes about the killing of Palestinian boy but plainly reporting the murder of three Israeli teens!!!
Jay Boo says
Notice how the MSM flaunts the story of the report of the killing of the Palestinian boy with a compassionate slant to show how much they care while treating the murder of three Israeli teens as an ephemeral political issue between Israel and its ‘neighbors’.
Jeff says
The ny times is a pathetic excuse for a newspaper. They are nothing more than an ultra left wing islamofascist mouthpiece!
jessejames says
Yes, most certainly to the point it’s almost comical were it not for the tragic events.
The lame-stream media is so bias in this issue it’s obvious we are not getting all the facts. It makes one suspicious about the allegiance of obama, kerry, killory, biden, and the rest of the troop of white house idiots. Then again ……..NOT REALLY.

PALESTINIAN (Obama seeks “justice” outrage and indignation)
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/us-condemns-heinous-murder-palestinian-teen-24397454
“The Obama administration is condemning the killing of a Palestinian teenager as a “despicable act” and is calling on the perpetrators to be brought to justice.”
THREE ISRAELIS (helplessness & what are we to do attitude)
http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2014/06/30/obama-calls-deaths-of-israeli-teens-senseless-act-of-terror/
” President Barack Obama said Monday that the U.S. condemns killing of three Israeli teens, calling their deaths “senseless act of terror against innocent youth.”
“As a father, (I cannot imagine the indescribable pain) that the parents of these teenage boys are experiencing,” Mr. Obama said in a statement.
— Where is Obama’s call for justice or the use of despicable?
