Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Video: IDF discovers CAIR-linked Hamas terror tunnel inside Israel

May 5, 2016 1:50 pm By Robert Spencer

The second tunnel discovered in the last three weeks. Clearly Hamas is preparing for yet another round of their genocidal jihad against Israel, and no negotiated concessions from Israel will change that.

“WATCH: IDF Discovers Another Hamas Terror Tunnel Inside Israel,” TheTower.org, May 5, 2016:

The Israeli Defense Forces has found a Hamas terror tunnel extending into Israeli territory for the second time in three weeks, the IDF announced Thursday.

The concrete-fortified tunnel is 90 feet below ground and is only a few kilometers away from the tunnel that was discovered in April, the IDF said. That was the first tunnel found to have extended into Israel since the end of Operation Protective Edge, the war with Hamas that took place in the summer of 2014.

Israeli troops working to uncover the latest tunnel were fired upon on Wednesday by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. No Israelis were injured. It was the sixth time in two days that Israeli troops near Gaza were targeted by gunfire or mortar rounds. Israel responded by shelling observation posts and other Hamas targets in Gaza, injuring four, the Times of Israel reported.

“The IDF considers above and below-ground terror activity a violation of the State of Israel’s sovereignty and a threat to its citizens and deems Hamas solely responsible,” a spokesperson said. “It is our job to locate and destroy them.” The spokesman said that the tunnel was found about 100 meters inside Gaza, the first time that Israeli officials have confirmed IDF operations in Gaza since the end of Operation Protective Edge.

The tunnel was discovered using new technology combined with extensive intelligence-gathering, the IDF said….

    The demonic/ Islamic spirit of Hamas is alive ,well and active. As for the very essence of the name “Hamas” it had been explained by a Christian who is a scholar and writer. For in his book he informs his readers that ” ‘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] Furthermore, one of the sons of one of the founders of Hamas is now a Christian . He is Mosab Hassan Yousef and about the inspiration of and for the members of this Islamic terror organization. For Yousef stated “What keep Hamas going is their motivation – their Koran and their Islam..” This is a reminder there is a Christian internet site which replies to the many different claims made by the imams and mullahs as well as the other apologists for Islam. The Christian site is http://www.answering-islam.org

    “CAIR-linked Hamas terror tunnel”

    Excellent, Mr. Spencer! I love it!

      The former Homeric epithet was “Hamas-linked CAIR”, with the implication that CAIR is bad because it is linked to Hamas. But the new Homeric epithet “CAIR-linked Hamas” reverses the ranking of bad-boy rep: Hamas is evil because of its association with CAIR. So CAIR now outranks Hamas in jihadi street cred. Ibrahim Hooper must be proud.

    Thanks but no thanks, that they need not dig tunnels to get into Europe n the USA. That itself is already a Trojan Horse victory.

    CAIR Headquarters evacuated after mysterious powdery substance discovered.
    It turned out to be a false alarm.
    Nothing but sandy Gaza soil tracked in on the sole of shoes near the hidden tunnel door.

    “The concrete-fortified tunnel…”

    And then they cry when Israel restricts the import of cement into Gaza.

    The one state solution. Gotta love it and Caroline Glick is on You Tube explaining the rationale. Two states would mean Israel being split in two.
    Based on the Gaza experience is anyone going to give Hamas a northern firing point in addition to their Gaza (southern) one?

    These Muslim termites will never run out of money. The European Union and the United States have a money conduit permanently connected to the ” poor, suffering, victimised Palestinians”

    Will the Palestinians never take responsibility and only blame Israel?! Even if it were true what you say about Israel doing bad deeds, and I don’t believe much of it,

    but why in heaven’s name is it in Hamas’charter still that they intend to do away with the whole state of Israel??? And with a lot of violence and bloodshed very probably.

    What can you Palestinians expect as reaction to such blatant agressive intentions? It is as if you Pals pull the tail of the Tiger all the time and then get angry because of the Tiger’s reaction! To date even the Palestinian Authority has not even acknowledged Israel’s right to exist!

    It is insanity to perpetuate the same failed strategies indefinitely and somehow expect a different result!

    And for what? For a 57th Islamic state? For a little bit more Islamic land? While the Islamic world is already 1000 of times bigger than Israel?

    Your rhetoric is clearly due to your compassionate Jew-hatred, and that you derive from Islam, the Quran, Ahadith and your prophet.

    and it makes you present a very biased, exaggerated account of what really happens and why and it is augmented with many blatant lies I am sure.

    And about land; If you are so adamant that Israel returns land to Palestinians, why don’t you at least comment on the far greater land-theft and conquest by the Muslims in the past??? Why does it not bother you that the Turks stole Constantinopel from the Greeks? That the whole middle-east, North Africa, Egypt, Spain, Turkey which were Christian were all violently “stolen” and subdued by the Muslims?

    Why can’t you see the Israëli’s did the same, only much more modest and humane? And it is done; you can’t keep on blaming children for what their forbears did, nor can you keep on compensate children for what their forbears lost. Because you just can’t hold people accountable for the actions of their forbears. Last but not least; The Arab Israëli’s live in the freeest state of the entire middle east, and they pertinently do not want to be transferred to either the PA or Hamas’s territory. Doesn’t that tell you something?!

    Muslims cheat, steal and lie among themselves without blinking an eye imagine what they do to their enemies. They have been known to beheafing them and rape their wives to produce more muslims….nice group of people to stay far away from.

    “Israel has killed more than 300 Muslims in the last 4 months alone .”

    If I were the IDF I wouldn’t let on that I’d found the tunnels. I’d bug them. I’d monitor them. I’d find, if I could, some way to **boobytrap them**. I’d have a suitable reception all set up.

    Then when the screaming jihadis armed up and rushed through the tunnel to make their attack.. said jihadis would discover, too late, that they were… rats swarming into a trap.

    abbas posted:

    “well , no mentioning of recent [last two days ] attacks by Israeli jets and tanks in Gaza and killing of many innocent women and children”

    Were they jihad attacks? Because this site is called “Jihad Watch” for a reason…

    “Israel has killed more than 300 Muslims in this year(last 4 months ) alone .”

    According to whom, the PA? The purveyors of zombie flicks? You know, those propaganda movies of alleged “palestinian” victims of Israeli attacks where the bodies move as if they were coming back to life in search of brains (a fruitless endeavour in “Palestine”).

    Imagine if all of the energy, sweat, toil, money, resources and planning that Muslims put into terrorism and violence were actually directed at making positive contributions to their societies and the world? Then, the followers of the ideology of “Submission” might actually have some technological and intellectual contributions to share, instead of offering up nothing but hatred, misery and despair. There’s a reason why Muslims have never won a Nobel prize. There’s a reason why all of the great technologies of the 20th century and the 21st century were invented by non-Muslims. Theirs is an ideology that stifles innovation, creative freedom, individual ambition and free expression.

    It’s darkly comical — Muslims follow an 8th-century ideology, and that ideology yield predictably failed 8th-century results wherever it is the dominant theological, political and cultural force.

    Leave them a little surprise. Collect them up after the gas, and have them wake up in Siberia.
    Lets see how long it takes to get back.
