In a new video that is here (for the time being), the Islamic State contradicts the oft-repeated claim that the Islamic State has no interest in the “Palestinian” jihad — see, for example, Jay Michaelson, who claimed in the Jewish Daily Forward that “the Islamic State is a Salafist jihadist/fundamentalist movement that regards Hamas as impure and the Israel/Palestinian conflict as largely irrelevant.” In this video, the Islamic State makes it abundantly clear that the “Palestinian” jihad is extremely important to it. And as always, the jihadis ground and justify their actions in Islam, boasting that they will destroy kufr (unbelief) and the unbelievers (kuffar).
Here are some stills from the video, which is unlikely to be up long (click to enlarge):
