Netanyahu: Iran increasing efforts to deepen jihad activities in West Bank

Dec 28, 2014 8:21 am By Robert Spencer

Netanyahu IranIran is Shi’ite, but the Iranian mullahs hate Israel and the Jews more than they hate the Sunni jihadists in Judea and Samaria. Also, by aiding Sunni jihad activity, the Iranians continue to try to position themselves as the world leader of Muslims — a position for which they have a good deal of competition.

“Netanyahu: Iran increasing efforts to deepen terrorist activities in West Bank,” by Herb Keinon, Jerusalem Post, December 28, 2014:

Prime Minister Netanyahu condemns UN for not responding to PA official who said he is “excited” by Iranian directives to send weapons to West Bank.

Iran is increasing its efforts to “deepen” its terrorist activities in the West Bank, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the cabinet at its weekly meeting on Sunday.

“No less a personage than the Palestinian Authority’s ambassador in Tehran said that he is excited by the directives of Iran’s ruler [Ali] Khamaeni to send weapons to the West Bank,” Netanyahu said.

The prime minister directly quoted the Palestinian envoy as saying, “The Zionist entity is an aggressive cancerous growth that sooner or later must be eliminated,” he said.

Netanyahu emphasized that these were not the words of a Hamas representative, but rather that of the Palestinian Authority’s official in Iran.

“Now what does the UN do in response?” Netanyahu asked. “Instead of dealing with this incitement, it gives it a place of honor, the same incitement that leads in the end to the terror acts that we have experienced lately.”…

    The desire to be the leader of all Mahoundians is what keeps them fighting among each other. Israel is just another thorn in Allah’s side that has to be removed like all infidels…That means that some truce and cooperation is useful, but once it is no longer useful, they can go back at each others throats.

    Laterz you will see thousands of women and children crying in Iran, you feel pity, but then you will remember what this animals have tried to do with Israel. You have a very big price to pay if you mess up with people you should not have.

    If Israel is eliminated all Sunni eyes will next focus on apostate Iran.
    Do the leaders of Iran really want Israel totally eliminated as they claim or are they more interested in shifting the focus of Sunni neighbors away from Iran?

      Exactly. This is drivin me crazy. Why the Iranians keep actin like Israel is their Number ONE problem and they only give small aid to Iraq, their Shia brothers.
      .
      I can see them mouthin off about killin ALL da Jews, dat’s what GOOD Muslims do, but workin HARD to take over Iraq and Syria with the tacit covert support from da Russians and Chi-Coms.
      .
      The Iraqis I’ve meet in Iraq and the Iranians I’ve know in the US were smart people. A cooperative between Iraq, Iran and Syria with Russian covert support would be a major game changer in the ME and the world markets!
      .
      There is something in this equation that is not seen, at least not by me!

      “According to Islamic tradition, the dispute between the majority Sunnis and the Shiat Ali (Party of Ali) began upon the death of Muhammad in 632. The Sunnis contended that the prophet of Islam had made no provision for a successor as political, military, and spiritual leader of the Muslim community, and that therefore the Muslims should choose the best man among them as their leader. The nascent Party of Ali, on the contrary, claimed that Muhammad had designated his son-in-law Ali ibn Abi Talib as his successor, and that the successor of Muhammad had to be a member of the prophet’s household.

      What’s more, far from being a mere functionary, this successor would bear some of Muhammad’s prophetic spirit, as well as infallibility in deciding disputed questions. Ali was finally chosen as the fourth caliph in 656, but in 661 was assassinated. Hassan, his eldest son (and successor, as far as the Shi’ites are concerned), was murdered in 670 on the orders of the Sunni caliph Muawiya. Then the Sunni/Shi’ite split became definitive and permanent when Ali’s younger son, Husayn, was killed in the Battle of Karbala in 680.

      The Shi’ites were, thus, founded in loss and defeat, and these became the ongoing distinguishing features of Shi’ite history and piety. After the beheading of Husayn, the Shi’ites continued a succession of Imams, members of Muhammad’s household and his prophetic heirs. Each one in turn, over two centuries, was poisoned on orders of the Sunni caliph. According to the traditions of Twelver Shi’ism, the official religion of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the twelfth of these Imams, a boy of five years old, disappeared under mysterious and disputed circumstances in the year 874 – but remained alive. After his disappearance, he communicated to the world through four agents, the last of whom died in 941. At that point the Twelfth Imam went silent, entering the period of “Great Occultation.”
      (…)

      The Shi’ites began to teach that the Twelfth Imam would return at a time when the Muslims were oppressed as never before, and suffering worse than ever. The Imam, in the company of Jesus (re-imagined, as in Sunni Islam, as a Muslim prophet), would finally end the horrific persecution of the true believers, taking up arms against their enemies and conquering and Islamizing the world.

      (…)

      There is no requirement that non-Muslims must be responsible for that violence; Shi’ites filled with religious fervor, like the Ayatollah Khamenei and the mullahs behind him, could hasten the Twelfth Imam’s return and the consummation of all things by, say, launching a nuclear strike against Tel Aviv or some other Infidel outpost, knowing that by doing so they would almost certainly be provoking a retaliatory strike that would subject the Muslims in Iran to more defeat and repression than even the Shi’ites had previously suffered. That would be enough to bring the Twelfth Imam out of the well where he is said to be hiding.“

    I jsut read in another website that Netanyahu has sent a message to Christians in Israel and the rest of the Middle East for Christmas. The truth is that with the likes of Obama and Cameron and other dimmhis governing the West, he stands out as the only decent and sensible head of State or government around these days.

    “Prime Minister Netanyahu condemns UN…”

    As long as the UN and the EU exist, there will be no peace in the world. These two entities are pure evil, they are more dangerous than Islam itself because they are hiding behind the mask of “civilization.”

    We could do a bet, when Lebanon will explode in civil war again?
    2 months? 4 months? 6 months? an year?

    I believe 3 to 4 months.

    The news today has focussed heavily on the 5yr old Palestian hit by a rubber bullet, the story of the 11yr old Israeli girl who suffered horrific burns after being hit by a firebomb , not so much. I am beginning to wonder if a bias exists in the media. Surely I am wrong.
