This should be (but won’t be) a lesson to those who tout the efficacy of hearts-and-minds initiatives: the divinely commanded imperative to wage war against the Infidels always trumps any gratitude a good mujahid might feel toward them.
“Cancer patient stopped at Gaza-Israel crossing with explosive material,” by Anna Ahronheim, Jerusalem Post, April 19, 2017 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur):
Israeli authorities on Wednesday morning intercepted material used to manufacture explosive devices hidden inside spools of medical material at the Erez Crossing, the Shin Bet announced in a statement.
According to the statement, the material was located during the security check at the crossing in the luggage of two sisters who are residents of the Gaza Strip. The two women had been approved to enter Israel for the purpose of receiving medical treatment for cancer, which one of the two sisters suffers from.
An initial Shin Bet investigation indicated that the explosives were sent by Hamas and that the group was planning to carry out terror attacks in Israel in the near future, the statement read, adding that the material was destroyed by a sapper of the Southern District police force.
“The terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip, including Hamas, continue to exploit the humanitarian and medical assistance provided by Israel to the residents of the Gaza Strip in order to perpetrate terrorist attacks in Israel.”…
The Shin Bet said the suspect hid cash in his shoes for Hamas, and smuggled tens of thousands of euros to terrorist operatives in the West Bank.

Tikkun olam / תיקון עולם just never seems to work when it comes to fixing one of the world’s ills, all others, jews can do a great job.

Wit a absolute liberty!! Sadly, nothing surprises me anymore. Pfft.

The west still does not get it. Islam promotes itself as the universal religious and political system to the exclusion of all else. It has zero scruples, is bound by no convention, its followers will use any means, tell any lie, use all deceptions that it can in order to achieve Islam’s aim. The insanity is that Islam has telegraphed this. It is the most open secret on the planet. But most of our leaders refuse to acknowledge the facts.
PoCo NoMo says
Monty, Many in the west do get it. Right now, many of us are trying to support President Trump. Anything he accomplishes is not because of, but in spite of, the Democrat left wing. Many of us who stand up for Israel, our best ally in the Middle East, are vilified for it; isolated from family and former friends. So we band together the best we can, on websites like the one that linked me to you, today. Peace.

Despicable snake. Copying the actions of his father, satan the devil, the original serpent.

And one of the best illustrations of the snake in the “Snake Song” that I’ve ever read about!

Remember this story?
The Israeli non-profit “Heart for Peace” is staffed by Israeli and Arab cardiologists who have saved the lives of more than 610 Palestinian childrensince 2005. Outrageously, in 2014, a Gazan mother whose young son’s heart was saved by Israeli doctors said that she hoped he would grow up to be a suicide bomber.

Thanks for that horrifying story, Lily.

And for another “DUH” moment for the liberal Muslim lovers.

…um, yeah, that’s gratitude for ya.

The Golden Rule will only work if the recipient of the consideration has a similar code of ethics. There is no universal Golden Rule in Islam, i.e. one which also applies to infidels. When Israel withdrew from Gaza and handed over greenhouses which were all fixed up, the Hamas recipients used them as rocket launching sites. The head of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, has had close relatives treated in Israeli hospitals but that never stayed his hand.
Now, some Israeli politicians want to help build an island port with a possible airport for Gaza. It will not be appreciated and if possible, it will be weaponized.

“If God created all this suffering, he can’t be good, and if he is powerless to stop it, he can’t be God’…Buddha…
Jeanette says
I think the argument against the first phrase is that man created all the suffering when Adam and Eve gave Satan an edge that he didn’t have before they ate the apple.
The argument against the second phrase is: free will.

Tale of snake. Trump was repeating this tale at the rallies. What else need to be said.

Israelis should return the sisters to Gaza strip and let the sick one die from the cancer. Muzzies would think she died for allah while she is screaming in hell.
Terry says
This is (unfortunately) not the first time I have heard of this. A few years ago, a Muslim ( I think father, if not, brother) threw acid in a young lady’s (?) (female anyhow) face. Israeli plastic surgeons did facial reconstruction.
She then came back to the hospital, with a suicide vest- after THE DOCTORS REPAIRED ( FOR WANT OF A MORE SCIENTIFIC AND PROPER TERM) TO BLOW THE PLACE UP, TO COMPENSATE FOR THE DISHONOR AND SHAME SHE HAD BROUGHT ON HER FAMILY.
She was stopped.
They (Muslims in general) are all sliem and deserve to die-in my view.
gravenimage says
Yes–that was the story I was thinking of.
Oliver says
Graven.off topic
You said you live in Cal
I saw on another site a day or so ago that the secede movement ended. One of the prime movers lives in Moscow. Russia.
Not even sure if he is a US citizen
gravenimage says
Oliver, no one here ever took the secede movement seriously–not even the far Left. It was just posturing for the anti-Trump crowd.
I did not know that one of the leaders lives in Moscow–but it does not surprise me. Despite the stupid politics in much of California, losing California would negatively impact the US economy. I’m sure that was his goal.
Sancho Panza says
And that is not the end of the story. The woman was arrested, all the while crying that she was forced to become a suicide bomber,. and put in prison. Some years later the Israeli government released a whopping 1024 prisoners in exchange for Gilad Shalit, the Israeli soldier captured by Hamas. This benighted woman was among those released upon which she promptly turned back into a jihadi. The woman who had cried that she was forced into becoming a suicide bomber now went around to schools and taught the kids of the virtues of becoming a suicide bomber!
I tell you, these people are just vile.
Jeanette says
Possibly more to the point than whether they deserve to die is that if they are not removed from the planet, western civilization will be destroyed.
Remove all of them from the West, put them all together in the Middle East, and let them begin the removal of Islam from Planet Earth.
Dov Berrol says
No surprise here. As the idolized founder of Islam is supposed to have said: “War is deceit.”. The Jews of the Middle East have been facing this ongoing, neverending Mohammedan jihadi threat for over 100 years. That is why we Zionists will never agree to a peace treaty that is simply based on promises. The parameters of such an agreement will have to take into consideration the eventuality that the Arab enemy will lie and try to eliminate Israel at any point in the future. Their promises of ending their jihad against the infidel Jewish State of Israel should never be trusted…..to my great dismay.
Jeanette says
Plain old common sense!
Wellington says
Just demonstrating again what a sick, stupid and monumentally ungracious belief system that Islam is.
The examples of such are virtually countess. And over many centuries no less.
Islam, seen long term, is not only quite arguably, but easily arguably, the most malevolent belief system ever devised by our species. It is the greatest curse over the most amount of centuries that has ever existed and retarded the advancement of Homo sapiens.
What a legacy.
Pavlovic says
So typical.
ElderlyZionist says
This is why we can’t have nice things.
gravenimage says
Grimly hilarious, ElderlyZionist.
The fact is that the Israelis are the only ones in the region who have created nice things.
Am Yisrael Chai!
LilyDarcey says
Moslems are never grateful to the west or Israel for anything nice they may do for them, because they feel themselves entitled, since Allah tells them they are entitled, and it is the infidel’s privilege to do anything kind for moslems. Gee, they actually sound like liberals and the Black Lives Matter folks. 😉
Jeanette says
And that’s why the liberals love the Muslims – they have so much in common with them!

Muslim receiving cancer treatment in Israel arrested smuggling explosives from Gaza
……………………..
This is appalling–but should not surprise. This is not the first time Muslims have turned on those saving their lives:
Not long ago, a Muslim woman returned for a check-up at an Israeli hospital that had treated her and she tried to blow it up. There is no sense of gratitude in Islam.
Jeanette says
There is no decency of ANY SORT in Islam, so of course there is no gratitude! That would be far too decent.

TAQIYYA DOCTRINE??? Hearts and minds?? The two don’t mix.
Before trying ‘hearts and minds’, INSTEAD MASTER the TAQIYYA DOCTRINE.
Dave de la Rond says
Why should we be surprised? These Muslims are taught to despise us and hate anything that is from another culture other than Islam.The cancer starts at a young age when their Imams spew death and antisemitic poison.
Jeanette says
The receivers of government handouts are often ungrateful.
The question is, when do the givers finally figure that out, and quit?
