Hamas thrilled that Obama let UN pass anti-Israel resolution

Dec 30, 2016 6:13 am By Robert Spencer

They know who their friends are.

“Hamas Couldn’t Be Happier Obama Let UN Pass Anti-Israel Resolution,” by Russ Read, Daily Caller, December 29, 2016:

Palestinian terrorist group Hamas is ecstatic about passage of a United Nations Security Council resolution condemning Israel’s settlement policy, and its own incitement to violence.

Hamas issued a statement supporting the resolution Saturday, one day after its passage. The Obama administration abstained from voting on the measure, allowing it to pass. The move infuriated Israeli officials who saw it as an abandonment of the historical U.S. policy of vetoing such resolutions.

“We value the position of states that voted in favor of the resolution and welcome this significant transformation in international positions that support the Palestinian people’s rights,” said Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum in a press release.

The terrorist group’s keen support is surprising, given the resolution supposedly also condemns groups like Hamas for engaging in terrorism against Israelis. What’s more, Barhoum goes on to say his group supports further resolutions “backing the Palestinian people’s just cause.”

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry claimed Wednesday the resolution rightly condemns incitement, but the resolution itself makes no mention of Palestinian incitement specifically. Instead, a majority of the resolution outlines Israel’s alleged transgressions.

Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes assured reporters in a phone call Friday that the administration’s decision to abstain from the vote does not change its long-standing policy of supporting Israel.

“President Obama has done more for Israel and its security than any previous U.S. president,” claimed Rhodes….

    Liberalism, the gift that keeps on giving. The absence of self interest is a form of stupidity, but it lets a guy circulate among a rich supply of fall guys. It’s easier to blame innocence that to confront mortal threat. Makes for better news entertainment segments on the TV.

      Pig Farmer, Hamas—-Obama—————Hamas——-Obama.. All the same, Muslims that hate the state of Israel.. All I want to see is Jan. 20th,, the rest of the days are only a sad and very scary time.. Now that Obama is getting the boot, much to his dismay, is the only thing I want to see!! Israel is used to this sort of treatment, but they know that the American people stand with Israel, they are waiting for the new holiday, JAN 20TH!!! Just watch our backs each day till then!!! Obama I hear is flooding Nebraska with Muslim refugees… Soon to out number the native Americans, and the farmers as well.. Obama’s legacy… Nebraskastan…

      HI there, Ebionite. You wrote:

      “mr spencer,if hamas resisting illegal occupation of palestinian land is branded as terrorist organisation,”

      Hamas is a terrorist organization because it conducts terrorist attacks. Baby-killers and/or their enablers, all of them.

      “in your estimation,”

      “Estimation”? Far from it – there’s plenty of dead bodies and declarations from Hamas to prove it

      “then zionist israel is a fascist terrorist state and should treated as such by international community.a state that engage in massive killings of palestinians,”

      Citation needed.

      “including women and children,”

      Citation needed.

      “demolishing their homes while they are still inside,”

      Citation needed.

      “is worst than adolf hitler.”

      Funny thing: Hitler is very well-respected in the islamic world because he’s responsible for the deaths of millions of Jews. Are you sure you don’t have a copy of “Mein Jihad”, I mean, “Meing Kampf” alongside your quran?

      “according to evil talmud life of non jew is no more than that of a cow.pursuant to that”

      Citation needed.

      “one evil jewish rabbi issued a religious decree that one fingernail of a jew worths one million arab lives.”

      Even if that’s the case, is that a mainstream Jewish belief? And do you want to compare numbers, buddy? How many muslims in the world believe that the worse of muslims – i.e., the most degenerate muslim criminal you can think of, like it’s self-proclaimed prophet, who was a paedophile, rapist, murderer and robber – is still better than the best non-muslim on the grounds that the sick degenerate is a muslim?

      “the evil zionists have been carrying into effect these obnoxious exhortations which evil jews consider to be from god.”

      Citation needed.

      “they are not from true god;they are from devil,their mentor.”

      How do you know this? Did allah spoke to you and told you that?

      Gigs up hate filled lying Muslim!!! Obama is on his way OUT!!! Never to return… Perhaps he will move back to Kenya!!! MY HOPE!! YOU are not fooling anyone!! Hamas, and other murderous filth will never be welcome into Jordan, from whence they came!!! They are Jordanian and that is that!! Your crazy idea that Israel should not exist will never fly……….. BUT THE IDF will prevail from you and your savages.. Israeli gifts to the world, medicine, tech, agriculture and other vital gifts to humanity FAR out weigh the savage 3ed century behavior of the low living crazy invaders of Israel… See if you can convince the west leaning King of Jordan, to let you back into the land you wandered out of………. Maybe Egypt, or Syria, or……….HELL, is where you all belong.. NOT in a nation like Israel, fact is you never will!!

      The appalling apologist for Muslim savagery ibrahim itace muhammed wrote:

      ………………………………….

      There is already “Palestinian” land–it is called Jordan. Hamas has made it plain that they seek the utter destruction of Israel. muhammed considers them “fascist terrorist” for wanting to live in peace.

      More:

      a (sic) state that engage in massive killings of palestinians,including (sic) women and children,demolishing (sic) their homes while they are still inside,is (sic) worst than adolf (sic) hitler.according (sic) to evil talmud (sic) life of non jew (sic) is no more than that of a cow.pursuant to that, one evil jewish (sic) rabbi (sic) issued a religious decree that one fingernail of a jew (sic) worths (sic) one million arab (sic) lives.the (sic) evil zionists (sic) have been carrying into effect these obnoxious exhortations which evil jews (sic) consider to be from god.they (sic) are not from true god;they (sic) are from devil,their (sic) mentor.
      ………………………………….

      What calumny. Israel has *never* targeted women and children or any other noncombatants–Jihadists hide behind civilians. And Israel demolishes the houses of Jihad terrorists–they do not do so with inhabitants still inside. What calumny.

      And this is what Mohammedans believe–that Jews are to be oppressed and murdered now, and to visit full genocide upon them. *This* is in orthodox Islamic texts.

      And the bit about Hitler is grimly hilarious–Muslims respect Hitler and laud his slaughter of Jewish people.

    angemon,you are one of the most stupid deceivers in this century.are you denying the fact that evil zionists carried out mass killings of palestinians,including women and children?such mass killings are documented in the un commitee report on human right abuses by evil zionist at palestinian territory.it is available in the net.check if you care to know the truth. if you confirm it,can you tell me that the evil jews are justified for such mass killings, being the children of yahwe,the idol god representing the devil?can you bring back to life those killed as your stupid and weak mithraist god allowed himself to be killed and rose after 3 days without god in control of the universe, to reconcile mankind who killed him?any way in your view, the liars,it is only when a jew is killed a termination of life is considered as wrong killing.the talmud says killing of non jew is no more than killing a cow.

      Hi there, Ebionite. You wrote:

      “angemon,you are one of the most stupid deceivers in this century.”

      Well, am I stupid or am I a deceiver? Also, the century is not even 20% in – hard to call someone the most whatever in this century when you have no idea of what’s to come, is it?

      “are you denying the fact that evil zionists carried out mass killings of palestinians,including women and children?”

      “Fact”? I’ve asked you to back that assertion up, and you haven’t.

      “such mass killings are documented in the un commitee report on human right abuses by evil zionist at palestinian territory.it is available in the net.check if you care to know the truth.”

      Translation: “I’m not here to educate you, s***lord. Do your own damn research so you can see that I’m speaking the truth”. That’s not how things work, you silly muffin – you made the claim, you back it.

      Oh, and the UN, an entity where the largest voting block is composed of muslim nations, who hate Israel out of religious obligation? Good luck getting an unbiased report from them. I bet that the sources of these alleged “mass killings” are the “Palestinians” themselves, and that there’s no outside confirmation.

      “ if you confirm it,”

      I can confirm that you’ve repeated something for which you have given no evidence for. And since you’re a poor thinker, an imbecile and a liar, I’m not going to take your words at face value.

      “can you tell me that the evil jews are justified for such mass killings,”

      Again: where’s the evidence of these alleged “mass killings”? Here’s actual data from the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, the official statistical institution of the state of “palestine”. Their population estimates from 1997 to 2016 can be found here:

      http://www.pcbs.gov.ps/Portals/_Rainbow/Documents/gover_e.htm

      Notice that the number keeps growing, both in the West Bank and in the Gaza Strip. That’s not consistent with the systematic mass killings of women and children you claim to be taking place. If what you say were true, the population should be decreasing, not increasing. “Palestinians” are thriving, not declining.

      “any way in your view, the liars,it is only when a jew is killed a termination of life is considered as wrong killing.”

      What a crook of bulls***. Anyone familiar with my posts knows I’ve spoken against the killing of innocents, regardless of their religion. I’ll speak against the unlawful killing of Hindus in Bangladesh or Jews in Israel all the same. Retract the lie you said and apologize for it. Immediately.

      “the talmud says killing of non jew is no more than killing a cow.”

      Again: citation needed.

      BTW, you serial liar, you haven’t answered my question: how many muslims in the world believe that the worse of muslims – i.e., the most degenerate muslim criminal you can think of, like your self-proclaimed prophet, who was a paedophile, rapist, murderer and robber – is still better than the best non-muslim on the grounds that the sick degenerate is a muslim?

      Tell me your opinion why is it bad that the children are dying in “Palestinian jihad” as martyrs. Isn’t their future bright in the paradise? So what are you crying? After all can’t you be sure about their salvation?

      Then why does your co-religionists so often pile up civilians as human shields? I think the whole “Palestinian” people is one big human shield in the jihad against Israel.

    It should be made known that the Muslim terror organizations, Hamas, Hezbollah , P.I.J. etc. are all fated to fail in their Islamic agenda of destroying the State of Israel and replacing with Islamic “state.” The reason that they will lose in the end and lose hard is because the members of those jihad terror entities are striving against the Will of God. The members who compose those Islamic terror groups might be too ignorant to know this, nevertheless the truth is the God had given all this land that now composes the State of Israel, including all of the West Bank, to the Jewish people. This may be found in the Bible, as seen in, for example, Genesis 28:13-15. 35:10-12. Deuteronomy 32:48,49. Psalm 105:7-11. 135:4. In other words the Jews have tall this land by Divine Right. Furthermore, the Jewish people should have this land by historic rights as shown in First Kings 4:20,21, 24,25. 8:55, 56. Still, in all fairness, there is one way for the Muslim members who make up Hezbollah, Hamas and the P.I.J. to convince God to change His Mind about being so much for Israel and then cause Him to turn His back on Israel and then have that nation be no more. That way is for the members of the jihad origination to gather together and then change the laws of astrophysics, including those laws of astrophysics the control 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 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 from being a nation before Me forever.”

    hi walter siaruk,the assurance in jeremiah 31:35 that israel will last forever is false being the production of human mind to satisfy whims and caprices of evil jews.true god did not say so.the truth is stated in the quran in suras of isra, bani israela and other verses that the jews will rise and fall and their last fall will lead to their total extinction,which is one of the signs for the end of this physical world.the next stage as sign for the end of this world is that prophet isa will descend from the heaven to end pagan christianity falsely atributed to him by breaking the cross as its paganic symbol. note all what was phrophesed in the quran will definitely come true unlike prophecies in mithraist evil bible which never come to past.eg in mathew 16:28,23:36 and 24:34,mithraist jesus(not prophet isa alaihissalam)stated that all the signs marking the end of the world would be fulfilled before his generation ended,before the people that were standing infront of him tasted death.those people have been dead for over 2000 years now and the world did not come to an end,neither all those signs fulfilled. so, walter you can see fallacies in your evil bible,which shows that it is not from true god and as such not reliable to be a divine book.your yahwe is an idol like your dancing idol of fatima in portugal.throw this evil book away as rubbish and embrace islam before you die and casted into hottest stream of hellfare for worshiping the devil.

      The United States has always voted against such grotesque resolutions before–that they abstained was basically a vote *for* it. This is even more the case if, as seems to be true that the Obama administration is actually *behind* the crafting of this vicious resolution.

      Obama for me, gravenimage, is as repulsive as Islam, though the former has “only” an influential eight-year history of misdeeds while the latter has some 1400 years of such. Yes, just imagine what a succession of Obamas would do to mankind were they to have a 1400 year opportunity to do so. In any case, no doubt in my mind that Obama is THE WORST President in American history, and for sundry reasons. I would be prepared to defend this accusation in significant detail, preferably while downing several beers.

      Just would like to wish you a Happy New Year. May you and those whom you love remain safe and even prosper in 2017. Take care, my friend.
