Israel: Islamic State graffiti found on memorial to Druze IDF soldiers

Nov 22, 2014 7:57 pm By Robert Spencer

DruzememorialgraffitiLoyalty to the Islamic State will continue to grow among Muslims worldwide with each day that it continues to exist: the caliphate throughout Islamic history has been a might-makes-right proposition, and this present case is no different. The Islamic State already commands a degree of loyalty from Muslims in the West that mainstream analysts never expected, and that belies the blanket dismissals of it as un-Islamic.

“Islamic State graffiti found on Druze memorial,” Times of Israel, November 22, 2014:

Graffiti in Arabic praising the Islamic State terror group was found on a memorial monument for fallen Druze IDF soldiers along the Carmel Scenic Route, located east of the predominantly Druze village of Daliyat al-Karmel.

Similar graffiti was found nearby on a KKL-JNF monument.

Police said six Palestinian youths were arrested in connection with the incident.

The graffiti was erased by city officials.

Last month, residents of Daliyat al-Karmel, south of Haifa, discovered four graffiti spray paintings of the word “Daesh” — an Arabic acronym for the Islamic State — near a soccer field in the city

In a separate incident, the words “Daesh is on the way” were found daubed in Arabic alongside an Israeli flag in the village of Bana’a, in the Galilee.

Rafik Halabi, head of the Daliyat al-Karmel local council, urged police after last month’s incident to act quickly to apprehend those responsible for the graffiti, saying that “even if children did this as a prank, we are taking this incident very seriously,” the Israeli news site NRG reported. “The Druze community condemns this Islamic terrorist organization,” he said.

Although police are attempting to crack down on any show of support for the Islamic State, the group’s popularity appears to be on the rise within Israeli Arab communities, where the rebel group’s flag has been sighted in various places throughout Israel.

According to police and the Shin Bet internal security service, more than 30 Israeli Arabs have joined Islamic State forces in Iraq and Syria.

Last week, tensions between Israeli Arabs and members of the Druze community soared after at least 26 people were injured in a brawl between some three dozen Muslim and Druze youths. The fight was allegedly over the security situation, which has seen recent tensions with Palestinians in East Jerusalem and the West Bank — in part over Israeli plans to step up building activity in the city’s eastern sector and religious tensions at the Temple Mount — spread to Israeli Arab communities after the police shooting of a 22-year-old man in Kafr Kanna on November 15.

Ten Israelis have been killed in Palestinian terrorist attacks in recent weeks, including two Druze police officers.

Members of the Druze community serve in the IDF and the Israeli Border Police, while members of the rest of Israel’s Arab community largely do not….

    Just another way to show disrespect and to try to intimidate, antagonize, and instil fear. To further terrorize non-muslims and to recruit those inclined to want to hurt others in like manner.
    satan and his *children* have no respect for the living or the dead.

    “Although police are attempting to crack down on any show of support for the Islamic State, the group’s popularity appears to be on the rise within Israeli Arab communities, where the rebel group’s flag has been sighted in various places throughout Israel.”

    They should apply the following to all sedition. I wished we recognized treason and sedition in this country. Instead it’s taught as college courses by scumbag “professors”.

    Responding to the slaughter by Caroline Glick 11-20-14

    GREAT IDEA! I thought this is what they were already doing! From Glick’s article:

    Since the current campaign of murder is being carried out by terrorists largely acting on their own accord, the measures Israel adopts to stop the attacks should be directed primarily against individual terrorists. As for action against the PA, it needs to be credible, consistent and directed to where it will hurt Palestinian leaders the most: their wallets.

    With regard to the individual terrorists, the government has made much of its intention to destroy the homes of terrorists. While it sounds good, there is limited evidence of the effectiveness of this punitive measure, which is a relic of the British Mandate.

    Rather than destroy their homes, Israel should adopt the US anti-narcotics policy of asset seizure.

    All assets directly or indirectly tied to terrorists, including their homes and any other structure where they planned their crimes, and all remittances to them, should be seized and transferred to their victims, to do with what they will.

    If Israel hands over the homes of the synagogue butchers to the 24 orphans of Rabbi Moshe Twersky, Rabbi Kalman Levine, Rabbi Aryeh Kupinsky and Rabbi Avraham Goldberg, not only will justice be served. The children’s inheritance of the homes of their fathers’ killers will send a clear and demoralizing message to other would-be killers.

    Not only will their atrocities fail to remove the Jews from Israel. Every terrorist will contribute to the Zionist project by donating his home to the Jewish settlement enterprise.

    Israel should also revoke citizenship and residency rights not only from terrorists themselves, but from those who enjoy citizenship and residency rights by dint of their relationship with the terrorists.

    Wives who received Israeli residency or citizenship rights though marriage to terrorists should have their rights revoked, as should the children of the terrorists.

    Since Tuesday’s massacre, aside from Abbas’s phony condemnation, the Palestinian leadership and public from Fatah to Hamas have been unanimous in their praise for the atrocity.

    Police said six Palestinian youths were arrested in connection with the incident.

    However, they are not palestinians. They are muslim Arabs, and they have nothing to do with Israel, or mandatory Palestine as Arabs in Dearborn.
    Factually the vast majority of them are economic immigrants who expect the locals to submit to their brand of terror. \
    My parents are Palestinians. It says so on their passport. They are Jewish.

    The Arab Muslims seek not to destroy just the Israeli Jews… but the other non-Muslims groups in Israel as well. This includes Arab Christians, Armenians and of course the the Druze among other groups.

    It was a Druze policeman that died trying to save the rabbis murdered in the synagogue attack. His family and parents spoke how they are very proud of him. And he had an uncle who died fighting for Israel in the IDF in 1982.

    The longer you wait to remove a tumor the more of the body is involves and destroys.

    All jihadis- from ISIS to Boko Haram to Al Qaeda to the Taliban- need to be destroyed now.

    Every day we fail to crush this infamy allows them to absorb more resources and gain greater malignancy.

    The hesitation by the West- and the world- is going to prove THE deadliest error in human history.

    Millions will die that need not have died.

    Thanks to the Quisling class among us.
