CAIR-linked Hamas claims jihad bombing of Jerusalem bus

Apr 21, 2016 3:25 pm By Robert Spencer

“A Hamas poster praised Abu Srour’s death and declared him a martyr for jihad.” The lovers of death glory in the murder of innocents.

Jerusalem bus bomb

“Hamas claims one of its own was responsible for Jerusalem bus bomb,” by William Booth, Washington Post, April 20, 2016:

JERUSALEM — The Islamist militant movement Hamas claimed Wednesday that one of its affiliates was responsible for detonating a bomb that exploded on an Israeli public bus earlier this week and injured more than 20 people in Jerusalem.

Hamas said 19-year-old Abdel Hamid Abu Srour carried out the bombing, which has raised fears that a new round of violence could include suicide attacks and bus bombings — hallmarks of the violent Palestinian intifada, or uprising, in the early 2000s.

A Hamas poster praised Abu Srour’s death and declared him a martyr for jihad. Hamas media reported the announcement, and pro-Hamas media sites identified Abu Srour as a member of the Hamas armed military brigades. But top Hamas officials in the Gaza Strip did not issue a statement, leading to questions about whether Hamas sponsored the attack or was just claiming Abu Srour as an operative.

Hamas controls the Gaza Strip and has fought three wars with Israel, which alongside the United States, considers the resistance group a terror organization.

Abu Srour was initially believed to be one of the victims of the bombing, but suspicions were raised when hospital workers did not find identification and no relatives came forward. Israel media reported that his father was arrested by the military on Wednesday.

A spokesman at Shaare Zedek hospital in Jerusalem said the 19-year-old lost both legs in the explosion and succumbed to his wounds on Wednesday, according to the Palestinian news agency Maan.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced his death and said that Abu Srour was from the Aida refugee camp on the edge of Bethlehem.

Israeli authorities have issued a gag order on the case and did not confirm links between Abu Srour and Hamas….

    No matter how many bomb Hamas sets off in Jerusalem or of any any other city of town in the State of Israel that Islamic jihad entity will never be able to destroy the State of Israel that’s because Hamas is greatly overruled by the God of the Bible. Therefore Hamas is fated to lose is goal to destroy Israel. For the God of the Bible has given all that land that ,including the West Bank to the Jewish people.. In other words the Jewish people have that land by Divine Right. AS many be found and seen in the Bible in ,for example , Genesis 28:13-15. 35:10-12. Deuteronomy 32::48,49. Psalm 105:7-11. 135:4. This land also belong to the Jews by historic rights. AS shown in First Kings 4:20, 21, 24,25. 8:55,56. Nevertheless, in all fairness, there is one way that the jihadists who compose Hamas are able to convince God to change Hid Mind about being so much for Israel and cause Him to turn His Back on Israel and thus have that nation be no more. That way is for the members of Hamas to gather together and then change the laws of astrophysics ,including those laws that govern the sun ,the moon and the stars. For God had declared in His Word, the Bible ,in Jeremiah 31:35,36. “Thus saith the Lord, Who gives the sun for a light by day and the ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night…The Lord of host is His name. If those ordinances depart from before Me ,saith the Lord,then the seed of Israel also shall cease for being a nation before me forever.”

    But remember: when Israel tries to set up buses specifically for the ticking “palestinian” time-bombs, Israel is “racist” and an “apartheid state”…

      THere should be no buses for these parasites. The Israelis should turn off the stopcocks to the water supply, shut off the gas and shut down the electricity they supply to these evil ingratiates.

    The about the word “Hamas” it had been explained ” ‘Hamas’ is an Arabic acronym for Islamic Resistance Movement, and it means ‘zeal.” Since its inception ,Hamas has been committed to destroying the Jewish State and replacing it with an Islamic state.in all of Israel.” [1] Anyway,the more fool them in the starving against the Will of God in their demonic agenda with an Islamic pipe-dream and delusion. Furthermore,one of the sons of one of the founder of Hamas is now a Christian .He i , Mosab Hassan Yousef had explained that the inspiration of the members of Hamas is For Mr. Yousef stated “What keep Hamas going is their motivation- their Koran and their Islam.” To repeat , ,what fools they be !

      It’s truly amazing how well Israel is doing, no doubt the result of its culture of hard work, personal responsibility and a love for personal freedom. Too bad about the “deal” that guarantees the Persians nukes, ICBMs and billions to fund it all. I’ve said this in here before: America should set up a marketing program that runs ads in Israel coaxing Israeli Jews to immigrate to the USA. The only catch would be that for every Jew we take in, an OIC member country must take 10 Moslems from America in exchange. That’s a fair trade. After we finally run out of Moslems to trade, we could just pay Israeli Jews to come here.

    Hamas is no different then most other moslems on this planet. They’re ordered by their god to kill us and the west is too stupid to admit it.

    He should be placed before a firing squad, to pay for the deaths of men that he is responsible for!!!

      It seems that won’t be necessary. The scumbag is now residing in Hell. He died of his wounds – thankfully his was the only death.

    For a second I thought CAIR said they were responsible for the bomb (but I was wrong, darn).

  8. Alarmed Pig Farmer says

    Apr 21, 2016 at 5:30 pm

    So now Hamas is linked to CAIR instead of the other way around. I like it. Meanwhile, Prez Barack Hussein just gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to a Hamas affiliate. When the awful Hillary is finally elected president, look for her to double down on Obama and give much bigger wads of taxpayer cash not only to Hamas… but to CAIR. The outfit is, after all, a civil rights organization. Just read its mission statement, it says so right there.

    So? They “claimed” for themselves, so they should pay for it, heavy price. If Israel would have more resolute government, we would see today mass invasion of Gaza and within days complete annihilation of that terror group.

    Any support even one of violence or suicide attacks should ring alarm bell let alone an a large muslim organisation like Hamas

    So, Hamas has claimed responsibility for the bus bombing. Do you think this information will help our brain-dead vice president, Joe Biden? He seemed to be confused when faced with the exploding bus story, he wasn’t sure if it was a terrorist attack. Hope this clears things up for you, Joe. And I look forward to seeing Israel repay the “Palestinians” for their latest contribution to Peace.

    Its about US authorities and people ban and prosecute anti_US and subversive organizations CAIR , ISNA, MSA, ICNA and other Islamic terror fronts

    This is the very same hamas that the Canadian Prime Minister gave millions of dollars to by funnelling it through the UN. The UN claims to use it to build “schools” in what is referred to as Palestine. “Schools” that are used by Hamas to store weapons and explosives with the full knowledge and approval of the UN.
