Pelosi: The Qataris “have told me over and over again that Hamas is a humanitarian organization”

Jul 28, 2014 2:27 pm By Robert Spencer

And apparently she believes them. What’s a little genocidal Jew-hatred among humanitarians? Pelosi’s statement is boneheaded, but it is understandable in light of the Obama Administration’s willingness to normalize Hamas and accept it as part of a “Palestinian” unity government. “Pelosi: Qataris Have Told Me ‘Hamas Is a Humanitarian Organization,'” by Susan Jones, CNSNews.com, July 28, 2014:

(CNSNews.com) – House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) says the United States must look to Qatar, an ally of the terrorist group Hamas, for advice in resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

“And we have to confer with the Qataris, who have told me over and over again that Hamas is a humanitarian organization,” she told CNN’s “State of the Union” with Candy Crowley.

As CNSNews.com reported last week, Qatar is a strong supporter and funder of Hamas. Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal operates from Qatar, and has so far rejected ceasefire proposals put forward by Egypt and promoted by Secretary of State John Kerry.

The U.S government designated Hamas as a “foreign terrorist organization” in 1997. Its founding charter calls for Jews to be killed and says all Muslims are duty-bound to join a jihad to destroy Israel.

In an interview aired on CBS’s “Face the Nation” Sunday, Hamas leader Meshaal said Hamas does not fight the Jews just because they are Jews. “We fight the occupiers,” he said. As if he wants to recognize Israel as a Jewish state?, Meshaal said “No.”

“War is a deadly thing,” Pelosi said on Sunday, speaking about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

“And I have many Palestinians who live in my district, and I am hearing them regularly about how their families are affected who live in the region. It’s a terrible thing. But let me just say that any missile that comes from someplace has a return address. And if Israel is responding to that address, then that’s a shame that the Palestinians are …rumored to be using children and families as shields for their missiles.”

Pelosi said the first thing to do is to “avoid conflict” that “Hamas initiated.”

“[T]his has to be something where we try to have the two-state solution, that we have to support…(Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud) Abbas and his role as a leader there. We have to support Iron Dome to protect the Israelis from the missiles. We have to support the Palestinians and what they need. And we have to confer with the Qataris, who have told me over and over again that Hamas is a humanitarian organization, maybe they could use their influence to —

Crowley interrupted her at that point, and they turned to another topic….

    Ah, those Qataris are the paragon of truth and virtues and she must believe them what they about Hamas – what a brain dead person in the Congress!! Hamas and humanitarian organization – oxymoron but the liberal progressive democrats won’t understand that!!

    Somebody just slap this son of a bitch upside the head. Are you kidding me? In 2014, you’re gonna believe that Hamas is a humanitarian organization??

    Two words: “Willful Blindness”.

    She fits in perfectly with Obama, head moron, and his administration of absolute morons. Who was the other idiot who called the Muslim Brotherhood a “largely secular” organization?

    I am really surprised that this lady of 74 yrs and with a long political life, believes what the Quataris say (that Hamas is a humanitarian organization), when her own Govt., has declared it as a Terrorist Organisation in ’97. I really pity the electorates who have elected her..

    Qatar?

    The same Qatar that was the propaganda centre for the Arab Spring in Egypt that brought the Muslim Brotherhood (the mother of HAMAS) to power there? That Qatar? The Qatar that is home to Al Jezeera, the propaganda arm of Islamists the world over and font of Antisemitism? That Qatar?

    I find it absolutely staggering that a person in her position is so grossly under informed. The GOP ought to make mince meat of this, but it’s not likely to happen as the vast majority of them are either timid weasels or under informed themselves.

    • MikeR says

      Jul 31, 2014 at 7:41 pm

      “timid weasels or under-informed themselves.” You got that right. It seems like none of them ever listen to Limbaugh, Hannity, or Levin (The Great One). I think most of them stopped learning after they passed the bar exam. Look who leads them – Boehner and McConnell. Boehner is a drunken crybaby, and McConnell doesn’t have enough respect for himself to brush his teeth. They both need to be replaced with younger men who can fight. Trey Gowdy and Ted Cruz or Mike Lee would be my choices.

  11. Joe says

    Jul 28, 2014 at 3:16 pm

    Is she serious? I am fed up with her nonsense for good. She is now convincing people she trust bunch of bedoun Qataris and recognize Hamas as humanitarian organization.

  12. KCSanDiego says

    Jul 28, 2014 at 3:18 pm

    Come on, be honest. I’m no Pelosi fan, but at the end she did agree that Hamas was a terrorist organization — although it took prodding from Candy Crowley. That’s more than anyone from CAIR, MSA, or any number of MB front groups would admit. Does anyone know whether Keith Ellison or André Carson has admitted that Hamas is a terrorist organization?

    • MikeR says

      Jul 31, 2014 at 7:46 pm

      Do you really want to give her credit for reluctantly saying “Uh-huh”? That’s not good enough for me.

  13. Diane Harvey says

    Jul 28, 2014 at 3:26 pm

    The Tea Party by its actions and its statements has shown itself to be peaceful and wants government by the constitutional book. But she’s “been told” that the TP is violent and racist, and that’s the end of the story as far as she’s concerned.

    Hamas/Hezbollah by their actions and their statements has shown themselves to be violent and racist and will do anything to get their way. But she’s “been told” that the these Muslim organizations are peaceful and humanitarian, and that’s the end of the story as far as she’s concerned.

    To give you an further idea of just how much trouble we’re in having Democrats voters as our neighbors, Pelosi was elected in 2012 with 85.1% of the vote.

    PTL for the Bible Belt.

    Jul 28, 2014 at 4:38 pm

    Another comment and forgive me if I already posted this at JW sometime in the past.

    Pelosi’s utter cluelessness and stupidity reminded me of what Mark Twain once said and that is “Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress, but I repeat myself.”

  16. FactsRule says

    Jul 28, 2014 at 4:49 pm

    Surprised at Jihad Watch, Robert. While Pelosi isn’t fit for office and I oppose her 99%, your headline & transcript ignore her final comment clarifying she considers Hamas a terrorist organization. It seems that whomever put this piece together is purposely sabotaging jihadwatch. It sounded to me that Pelosi was trying to say that the Qatari’s should use their influence, which she understands from their position that they are simply a humanitarian organization, to get Hamas to stop calling for Israel’s destruction. Here’s where the headline could’ve been focused. Following Obama Conferring with Qatar & Turkey, Both Supporting Hamas, Pelosi Concurs.

    • Wellington says

      Jul 28, 2014 at 5:52 pm

      Disagree. Pelosi indicated her silliness several times in this interview. As examples, she said that Hamas is “rumored” to be storing weaponry in civilian places. Rumored? My God, this is an absolute certainty.

      She also pushed for working with Abbas and his ilk. Abbas just represents slow jihad while Hamas represents fast jihad. One knows or should know that Abbas and his kind also want the destruction of Israel.

      Finally, for Pelosi to even mention that the Qataris told her that Hamas is a humanitarian organization, as though this could be believed on its face by any sane and sensible person, is risible. And all she said at the end about Hamas being a terrorist organization was an “hmm, hmm.”

      Pelosi should be mocked for this interview. Regularly. Steadily.

  17. Michael Johnson says

    Jul 28, 2014 at 5:04 pm

    Just look in her eyes, look how nervous she is. She doesn’t believe any of the shit coming out of her mouth. She’s just thinking “holy shit! I hope I’m saying the right thing so I don’t get my head chopped off!”

  18. Mirren10 says

    Jul 28, 2014 at 5:21 pm

    ”And we have to confer with the Qataris, who have told me over and over again that Hamas is a humanitarian organization”

    Chamberlain, 1937: ” And we have to confer with the Nazis, who have told me over and over again that the SS is a humanitarian organisation”.

    Either this repulsive cow is terminally stupid, or she thinks everyone else is.

    ”War is a deadly thing,” Pelosi said on Sunday”

    Really ? I would never have guessed ! You mean, when one country attacks another, people might get **killed** ?? Tell me it isn’t so !

    I just cannot believe the depths of stupidity here.

    • Wellington says

      Jul 28, 2014 at 6:52 pm

      Agreed, Mirren. Whenever you want an extra stupid statement by an American politician, you really can’t do any better than Pelosi.

      BTW, it’s no coincidence that Pelosi represents San Francisco in Congress. Though the city is beautiful, it is inhabited by some of the looniest people in all of America. Quite fitting that Pelosi represents it.

    Pelosi needs to be sent a whole batch of Raymond Ibrahim articles about the Mohammedan use of deception.

    In fact, every serving infidel politician and diplomat world-wide – whether in the East or in the West, in the first world or the third world – would do well to read Mr Ibrahim’s articles – which are in desperate need of being translated into as many of the main Infidel languages as possible – and **believe them**.

    For then they would assume, prima facie, that …**Muslims lie** and **Muslims do not intend anything good toward Infidels**…and they would adjust their (the Infidels’) trade dealings and foreign policy and immigration policy – and homeland security and policing practices – accordingly.

      “Pelosi needs to be sent a whole batch of Raymond Ibrahim articles about the Mohammedan use of deception.”

      Waste of time.
      She would rush to confer with the Qataris about reliability of the received material and be told by them (over and over again, if necessary) that the articles are samples of extreme islamophobic propaganda.
      This botox-crazed hag from California (sorry, Philip, I couldn’t resist pinching your sweet depiction of the “lady”) has been lost to reason since her prom ball. An idiot is an idiot is an idiot…

    Pelosi: The Qataris “have told me over and over again that Hamas is a humanitarian organization”
    ………………………

    Well, of course! Don’t *all* “humanitarian organizations” have genocide in their charters? sarc/off

    At least she acknowledges that Hamas initiated the conflict—but why would they do that if they were a “humanitarian organization”?

    This is intended, of course, to snow clueless Infidels like Nancy Pelosi—but members of the “Religion of Peace” also use concepts differently than we do. For a pious Muslim, what could possibly be more “humanitarian” than destroying Israel and mass-murdering the “perfidious Jews”? *Ugh*.

    Ms Pelosi needs to hear what the Qatari imam prays about the Jews: “Count them one by one, and kill them to the very last one.”
    Oh, Allah increase the pressure You exert upon the plundering Jews. Demonstrate upon them the miracles of Your might, for they are no match to You. Count them one by one, and kill them to the very last one. Do not spare a single one of them. Oh Allah, disperse them. Oh Lord, freeze the blood in their veins. Oh Allah, tear them asunder. Oh Allah, sow discord in their hearts. Oh Allah, do not let them prevail. Make an example of them for their allies. Oh Allah, bring down the planes of their air force, burn their infantry and sink the ships of their navy.
