Al-Zahhar floats the possibility that Trump is a Jew because he hates and fears Trump, and assumes that anyone he hates and fears must be a Jew. This is an odd assumption to be sure, but it is rooted in the Qur’an, which depicts the Jews as fabricating things and falsely ascribing them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181, 5:64); loving to listen to lies (5:41); disobeying Allah and never observing his commands (5:13); disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87); wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); being miserly (4:53); and more.
So al-Zahhar has grown up in a religious environment in which Jews are the all-purpose bogeymen behind any and every calamity.
“Hamas Leader Mahmoud Al-Zahhar: Trump Possibly a Jew; Money Is the Jewish Religion, Key to U.S. Decision-Making,” MEMRI, November 9, 2016:
In a recent TV interview, Hamas leader Mahmoud Al-Zahhar said that he “did not rule out the possibility” that Trump was a Jew, because he “loves the Jews” and “loves the Jewish religion.” “The most important thing in the Jewish religion is Jewish money,” said Al-Zahhar in the interview, which was broadcast by the Al-Jazeera network on November 9. “The Jewish religion – the Jewish dollar – is the real decisive factor” in American politics,” he said.
Al-Zahhar: “To tell you the truth, [Trump] has presented several policies that point to true ignorance with regard to American history. When he makes statements against the Mexican settlers, or against the Arab immigrants, who are fleeing the inferno in the countries you mentioned, or against the Africans – well, the U.S. is a country of settlers to begin with. He should ask his father where he came from. The president before [Trump] was an African settler.
[…]
“Trump loves the Jews, and not only because he likes the Jewish religion. I do not rule out the possibility that he is a Jew. He loves the Jewish religion, and the most important thing in the Jewish religion is Jewish money.
[…]
“In 1947, Harry Truman was a marginal candidate in the U.S. elections. He was approached by the Jewish money – which is the Jewish religion – and was awarded two million dollars, which made his electoral campaign prosper, because in American society you hand out money, you hand out pictures, posters, hats, and so on, and people who do not read at all are exposed to this. The outcome was that he won. Truman’s first decision – driven by those two million dollars – was to recognize the Israeli entity in 1948. So the Jewish ‘religion’ – the Jewish dollar – is the real decisive factor.
[…]
“I advise everybody to watch [American] wrestling matches, and to see how the crowd reacts to the wrestlers, how it relates to this unnatural violence. That is their culture, their model for heroism: obscene language, obscene acts, obscene declarations, and obscene attacks on other countries. That is the [American] culture and upbringing. That is their true religion.
[…]
“With regard to sexual scandals – none of their presidents were immune to that. There was President Clinton before him and countless other names, and I’m only talking about the cases that were revealed. That is their culture, and this is their belief.”
Interviewer: “Is this the culture of the [American] people as well?”
Al-Zahhar: “Yes, it is.”
PRCS says
Jeez!

Anyway, I certainly hope Trump love Jews, seeing how his daughter converted to Judaism to marry a Jew, making his grandchildren Jewish as well. And isn’t it ironic that the MSM present Trump as an anti-Semite while muslims present him as being a lover of Jews, if not one himself?
Oliver says
A.–I BELIEVE that Mr. Trump’s two married sons (Eric & Donald Jr.) also converted to Judaism, and married Jewish women. ( I read that -during, I think- the primaries)
mortimer says
Islamic paranoia knows no limits. The Koran is 60% paranoia about the kafirs. Trump, a self-identified Presbyterian is now a ‘Jew’ simply because a Muslim ‘guesses’ he might be.
This sort of Jew hatred has not been seen in the West since the Hitler aberration in Germany.
mortimer says
Robert Spencer wrote: “…al-Zahhar has grown up in a religious environment in which Jews are the ALL-PURPOSE BOGEYMEN behind any and every calamity.”
Spencer expressed that thought in the clearest way imaginable. This language reminds one of the infamous Julius Streicher whose propaganda promoted an atmosphere of racial hatred and a permissiveness for crimes against humanity.
Keys says
Well, if Jews aren’t “behind any and every calamity” they’re probably hiding behind a rock or a tree; alas, to no avail because even stones and non-jewish trees hate Jews.
Sahih Muslim Book 41 Hadith 6981
“Ibn ‘Umar reported Allah’s Messenger (Peace be upon him) as saying: You will fight against the Jews and you will kill them until even a stone would say: Come here, Muslim, there is a Jew (hiding himself behind me) ; kill him.”
Sahih Muslim Book 41 Hadith 6985
Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (Peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me;
come and kill him;
but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.

This means I will protect Jews and the other victims of Islam to the best of my ability.
Keys says
Thank you, gi. I like your artwork, and the inspired meaning it represents.
Hamas’ leader, Al-Zahhar, knows that the Hamas Charter (also referred to as the Hamas Covenant) quotes one of the Hadiths about the Gharkad tree.
It reminds me of the burning bush that Moses encountered; a sign of the presence of God; burning but not consumed; a symbol that the Jews, the covenant people, will suffer, but not be destroyed by their enemies, or evil, but be protected.

Thank you, Keys.
And I like your reflections on the Burning Bush.

AlZahhar’s comments should be analyzed: ““I advise everybody to watch [American] wrestling matches, and to see how the crowd reacts to the wrestlers, how it relates to this unnatural violence. That is their culture, their model for heroism: obscene language, obscene acts, obscene declarations, and obscene attacks on other countries. That is the [American] culture and upbringing. That is their true religion.”
1) wrestling matches – jihad is a wrestling for power, the removal of political power from kafirs
2) unnatural violence – of course, head chopping, hand chopping, FGM and wife beating are ‘natural’ to Muslims
3) obscene language – Mohammed commanded his followers to use obscene language
4) obscene acts – Mohammed commanded his followers to rape married kafir women
5) attacks on other countries – Sharia law commands the caliph to attack other countries twice a year
6) the above are their religion – the above are all COMPULSORY elements of ISLAM … such criminality is not COMPULSORY in America, but punishable.

Lunacy is considered an affliction in the normal functioning parts of this world.
However, in the universe of Islam, “lunacy” is a necessary part of the Muslim characteristic that is there for one purpose and one purpose alone; “Lunacy” overrides every other Muslim characteristic to assure that “hate” dominates their entire being.
Jan Aage Jeppesen says
We have heard similar braindead comments before from magical thinkers. Like: Obama admire Islam so he must be a Muslim. 😉

Obama’s father was Muslim, as was grandfather and his stepfather. He writes about accompanying his stepfather to the Mosque. He was registered as a Muslim in the Indonesian schools, and he attended Koran class for years. Many of his relatives are practicing Muslims.
Donald Trump has no such Jewish background.
I think it likely that Obama is no longer a practicing Muslim as an adult, but characterizing considering him Muslim as no different from considering Trump Jewish is just absurd.
miriamrove says
muslims never look inwards to see what their problems are. Always looking out wards blaming others specially the jews for their misery. Now this DB is telling us that Trump in jew.

Muhammad says, “kill any Jew who falls into your power.”
He says it on page 369 (554 in the Arabic) of the earliest Muslim biography of Muhammad. It’s a “beautiful” story of two brothers, Muhayyissa and Huwayyisa: (To avoid confusing the two brothers, keep in mind that the brother whose name begins with M is the Murderer in the story.)
To speed understanding of the above passage, I introduced into it specific names in brackets [ ], in place of some of the pronouns (“he,” “him,” etc.) that are in the original text.

Pong says
There is nothing new about claiming that someone you don’t like is a jew and it isn’t moslem idea. In the west there are many books and articles claiming Hitler was a jew and many of his close associates being jewish. Oppositions in eastern Europe, Russia and the arab countries, all claim that those, whom they don’t like are jews. I haven’t seen any claims that Guirt Wilders is a jew, but won’t be surprised to come across such claims. Putin has been accused being a jew in a number of blogs and posts in Russia. Yes, it isn’t just a statement, it is an accusation. It is not unique to the moslem, actually it is quite recent for them. Anti-semitism is not only deeply rooted in islam, but also in christianity. Europe has a long history of anti-semitism and, probably, majority of European population is anti-semitic, especially Poland, Hungary and France. Many of them pretend to be anti-zionists or the voice for the palestinian rights, but they all are anti-semites.
They must be treated with full understanding that those people support genocidal. Sharia based, apartheid entity.

Here are the Neo-Nazis of Stormfront doing just that:
“Is Geert Wilders a Zionist Jew?”
https://www.stormfront.org/forum/t817543/
Of course, the claim that all “Christians” are genocidal antisemites just as are Muslims is just claptrap. Homicidal Jew hatred is a key part of Islam.

I have never stated that “all Christians are homicidal anti-semites just as are muslims”. This blog is a good proof that it isn’t the case.

Hamas top dog: “Trump loves the Jews…I do not rule out the possibility that he is a Jew”
Al-Zahhar floats the possibility that Trump is a Jew because he hates and fears Trump, and assumes that anyone he hates and fears must be a Jew.
…………………………………..
There is another factor, as well–in the Muslim world, accusing someone of being a Jew is the greatest insult. We wouldn’t consider being mistaken for Jewish to be an insult, and I very much doubt the president-elect would, either, but among Muslims this is a slur. I can’t count how many times someone like Egypt’s al-Sisi has been called a Jew, for instance.

The is literally true. Reading Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s account of living in Saudi Arabia as a child, the neighbors would blame clogged pipes, cars that wouldn’t start, and even bosses or wives being in a bad mood on “the Jews”. They were regarded more as malicious Jinns than actual people.

…………………………………..
Remember, this is the guy lecturing Trump on American history…
Where to start? Firstly, far from being a “marginal candidate” in 1947, Truman was *already president*, having taken over from the vice presidency when Roosevelt died during his fourth term.
It was the 1948, not 1947 election. Truman had *already* recognized the state of Israel months before the election, right after its founding.
Even in 1948, two million dollars was peanuts for a presidential election, and would not have won the presidency for anyone.
Notice, also, that Al-Zahhar assumes that most Americans did not know how to read in 1948, which is utterly false.

Wait–I thought our “true religion” was money? I guess that’s just Jews…
What’s hilarious, though, is that American wresting–I assume he is not referring to the US Olympic team–is *entertainment*. Most of the wrestlers, even “enemies”, are buddies. This “violence” is no more real than in action films. Sure, there are injuries–but no more than with stuntmen in films.
And how do you like Al-Zahhar tutting at Americans for their “ideas of heroism”, given that Hamas lauds *terrorists and killers of children* as heroes? Grotesque.
Never mind that most wrestling fans are in on the joke. While wrestlers and other athletes are popular, they are not considered heroes in the way that firefighters, cops, doctors, inventors, and military personnel are.

I love Israel and am NOT a Jew. Not from yesterday, Islamic world (or rather Mohammedans) suffer from causation problem: One does not need to be a Jew to be on side of the State of Israel.

There is or was- a person who made (primarily) music videos. Name of Roger Israel. Once, he made a video (non musical- rare for him) WHY ISRAEL is “.apartheid state”

A Druze or two who are generals or other high ranking officers (in the IDF). Etc. (This was like a 15 or 20 minute video) he comes to the end- TO PROVE ISRAEL IS AN APARTHEID STATE.
(Don’t laugh too hard) ( this was in response to Jimmy ” Peanut Brain” carter.
IN ISRAEL: CHRISTIANS CAN PRAY IN CHURCHES- THE CHURCH OF THEIR CHOICE.
MUSLIMS CAN PRAY IN MOSQUES- THE MOSQUE OF THEIR CHOICE.
JEWS CAN PRAY IN SYNAGOGUES– THE SYNAGOGUES OF THEIR CHOICE.
Therefore, Israel MUST BE an apartheid state– there are different places for people of different faiths to pray.

Going back to Harry Truman.
There were Jews who tried to ( and did ) influence him, to recognize Israel (primarily, Mr. Jacobs, his partner, when he did not have much money) and others.
However, a few years ago, there was a new biography of Mr. Truman, and his daughter (Margaret Truman Daniels) gave the author(s) access to many of Mr. Truman’s private papers; diaries; notes; etc.
One of the items- that was believed for along time, but never proven until Mrs Daniels gave the author(s) this information is the following.
Mr. Truman asked all of the top State Dept. people what he should do. THESE WERE ALL FDR’S PEOPLE. ( Many, if not most, did not like Mr. Truman). They were ( either) unanimous or nearly so, that the US SHOULD NOT RECOGNIZE ISRAEL. SO, PRES. TRUMAN DID. BECAUSE THEY DID NOT LIKE HIM, AND WERE FDR’S PEOPLE.
