Hamas TV: Dress up like Jews to execute jihad-martyrdom suicide bombings

Aug 6, 2014 10:30 am By Robert Spencer

Hamas Ultra orthodox suicide bomber 090714_3War is deceit, said Muhammad, and Hamas is eagerly implementing his words. But their crowning deceit is not operations like these, as murderous as they are, but their successful efforts to manipulate the mainstream media and portray Israel as targeting innocent civilians. “Hamas TV: Dress up like Jews to execute suicide bombings,” by Itamar Marcus, Palestinian Media Watch, August 6, 2014:

During the Gaza war, Hamas repeatedly broadcast a video promoting suicide attacks on Israeli civilians. The Hamas video shows a terrorist putting on a suicide belt and dressing up as a stereotypical, bearded Orthodox Jewish civilian, who is then sent to commit a suicide bombing.

[Al-Aqsa TV (Hamas), 3 times: July 9, 27, and 30, 2014]

PA TV likewise broadcast a video during the war which could also be interpreted as encouraging suicide bombing. The video was based on a poem written by Mahmoud Darwish, the Palestinian national poet. While some literature analysts say the deeper meaning of the poem is a critique on suicide bombings, the words PA TV chose to include in its video clip seem to present suicide bombing positively – literally as an expression of life:

“She wraps her waist with dynamite
and explodes… It is neither death… nor suicide…
It is Gaza’s way to declare its right to life.”

The video demonizes Israel as an enemy targeting women and children and concludes that suicide terror will go on:

“She shall continue to explode. It is neither death nor suicide.”

This is in addition to Fatah’s explicit calls to launch missiles towards Israel, as reported by Palestinian Media Watch.

The following is from the text of the PA TV clip:

“She [Gaza] wraps her waist with mines and explodes,
It is neither death nor suicide.
It is Gaza’s way to declare its right to life
She scratched the enemy’s face
And repelled them from satisfaction with time,
because time in Gaza is something else
In Gaza the enemy could be victorious
The high sea could be victorious on an island.
They may cut down all her trees; they may break her bones
They could plant tanks in her children’s chests and women’s bellies and throw her into the sea, sand or blood
But she will never repeat the lies or say “yes” to the invaders;
she will continue to explode
It is neither death nor suicide.
It is Gaza’s way to declare its right to life.”
[Excerpt from “Silence for Gaza” by Mahmoud Darwish,
Trans. Adib S. Kawar, Tlaxcala, Official PA TV, July 17, 2014]

    Become a Muslim; become a bomb.
    Feel the true emptiness inside that Islam offers.

    Could this be the first evidence of Islam misrepresenting itself?

    “It is Gaza’s way to declare its right to life.”

    Yes, just as cancer declares its right to life by destroying the body within which it resides.

      ”Yes, just as cancer declares its right to life by destroying the body within which it resides”

        Oh yes, Islam is a like a cancer killing off all that is good and replacing it with toxic putresence. Those who have fought cancer know that sometimes the only hope remaining is to resort to a treatment which kills off even the beneficial cells in the body as well as the malignant ones. To sustain life one must sometimes take drastic measures and take the living body to a stage of near-death. It is horrible. It is heartbreaking. It is maddening for others to watch in helplessness. But to do nothing is death anyway. I think the people of Israel understand what I am saying. Does the rest of the world?

    And in Nigeria they are blowing up little kidnapped girls after sending them into public places, and in Afghanistan they have done the same thing with donkeys.

    As Infidels become increasingly suspicious of wild-eyed, bearded Mohammedans in skull-caps and bulky coats, they are using—or, as here, pretending to be—something innocent and benign.

    Have I mentioned how much I hate Islam?

    The end is near. Just as mad-mo’ dressed like a woman when he was surounded, now they are doing kind of the same when they sense their time is up. Please GOD, let this be the end of this blight upon humanity! Because, I fear that we will have to do this all over again. Each time it gets worse and more brutal!
    Napolean said “never fight your enemy too many times, for he may learn your secrets.”

    Hamas has numerous propaganda sites working overtime to fabricate lie upon lie
    upon lie…..they have gained the attention
    of a few “kids” here and there but, they won’t
    have it long…just until some other “cause,”
    comes along..satan is the father of all liars
    and that makes the plo and their brethren children of the great liar…satan…Ishmael the
    father of all Islamics are said in The Book to
    be “a wild ass of a man..his hand against every man and every mans hand against him..and he will live with his brothers…Islam
    is a religion of lies and deceit…look at the way that they are treating their brothers rite
    now….most of the followers of Islam are in
    educated poor people who listen to devil
    led imams…their agenda is kill/kill/kill!!!!
    how can anyone who has a degree of intelligence believe such vile and evil words..? shira law brings equal peace??..bull!
    women have worked so long and strongly
    to gain the equalities that they now realize
    in European countries and in the usa /canada
    and elsewhere in the civilized world….why
    d u now want to give all that away
    by joining hands with the islamists and
    being bound under shira law?? U can make
    waste in haste but u Will repent in leisure..
    do not say young people that u have not been warned….Islam is a religion of death and hate…u as a person mean Nothing to them…only to be used of them (ur vote) to gain a place of authority in ur govt. where they can change ur govt. into theirs..shira law…….
