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

Netanyahu slams CNN, New York Times reporting on Hamas as “fake news”

May 9, 2017 4:44 am By Robert Spencer

“They want to use their state to destroy our state,” says Netanyahu.

This is exactly so. A “Palestinian” state would only be a new and stronger base from which to launch new jihad attacks against Israel, with an eye toward destroying it utterly.

“Netanyahu Slams CNN, NYT Reporting on Hamas as ‘Fake News,’” by Jack Heretik, Washington Free Beacon, May 8, 2017:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the weekend lambasted several media outlets, including CNN and the New York Times, for reporting that Hamas’ new charter signals the group now accepts the existence of Israel and a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

“Ever wonder what fake news is?” Netanyahu asked in a new video condemning recent news stories on Hamas, a U.S.-designated terrorist organization that controls the Gaza Strip.

Last week, Hamas released a new amendment to its charter, which some media outlets said indicated a “moderation” in the group’s position toward the Jewish state. The group’s founding 1988 charter calls for the destruction of Israel and the killing of Jews worldwide. Since the updated version was released last Monday, experts have argued any altered language on Israel’s existence is a facade and that the group still holds the same fundamental views.

Netanyahu expressed the same sentiments in his new video, which targeted the media’s coverage of the new Hamas policy document.

“Last week, headlines in CNN, Al Jazeera and the Guardian said that Hamas now accepts a Palestinian state along the 1967 lines,” Netanyahu said. “The New York Times headline called this ‘moderation.'”

“The intimation is that Hamas now accepts the state of Israel,” Netanyahu continued.

The Israeli leader then called such accounts a “complete distortion of the truth.” Netanyahu referenced the new Hamas document, arguing that it still says “Israel has no right to exist” and “every inch” of the country “belongs to the Palestinians.”

Netanyahu said Hamas wants a smaller state now to destroy Israel later.

“Is moving from calling for genocide of all Jews to calling just for the annihilation of Israel, is that progress or moderation?” Netanyahu asked. “Only if you have no standards whatsoever.”…

    There is already a two-state solution … since 1923. The British came up with the two-state solution. In 1923, the UK arbitrarily violated their League of Nations Mandate, morally and legally, by creating the “Emirate of Jordan” in Eastern Palestine. The British announced that this was a “temporary” measure, which they quietly and quickly made “permanent.” Jews were no longer allowed to live there. Once the British had established the Mandate of Palestine, and Jewish immigration began to create a mini-industrial revolution, both Western and Eastern Palestine attracted waves of Muslim Arab immigrants from Egypt and Syria. These new immigrants found it convenient to make common cause with the non-Bedouin residents of Jordan and much later, specifically after the 1967 conflict that Jordan lost, those Arab immigrants called themselves and their children ‘Palestinians’. Before 1967, they called themselves ‘Jordanians’. President Roosevelt pointed out in 1939 that “Arab immigration into Palestine since 1921 has vastly exceeded the total Jewish immigration during this whole period.” Until 1946, its British administrators called TransJordan — Eastern Palestine.

    Until 1967 (and even after) most Arabs agreed that there was no distinct ‘Palestinian’ people or race that was different in any way from Jordanians.

    Arab Quotes about the Demographic Unity between ‘Palestine’ and Jordan:
    -“Palestine and Transjordan are one, for Palestine is the coastline and Transjordan the hinterland of the same country.” – King Abdullah, at the Meeting of the Arab League, Cairo, 12 April, 1948

    -“We are the Government of Palestine, the army of Palestine and the refugees of Palestine.” – Prime Minister of Jordan, 23 August, 1959

    -“Palestine is Jordan and Jordan is Palestine; there is one people and one land, with one history and one and the same fate.” – Prince Hassan, brother of King Hussein, addressing the Jordanian National Assembly, 2 February, 1970

    -“There is no family on the East Bank of the [Jordan] River that does not have relatives on the West Bank … no family in the west that does not have branches in the east.” – King Hussein, addressing the Jordanian National Assembly, 2 February, 1972

        I never paid any attention to Islam until our Fool, Prime Minister allowed a supposed Female Sharia Loving Minister to enter Bill M103, which was passed, and I believe lawful. In doing so I became curious as to what this was all about and they done me the greatest favour by enlightening me as too the danger of Islam in our country. I am sure most Canadians do not and will not allow Sharia to become relevant in our country as Canada is 150 years of age now and a lot of blood was spilled by our people, in foreign wars for us to become and stay the country we love. I had an awakening and I am sure the majority of Canadians would never let this occur. How could anyone believe that all that hateful non-sense in the Koran, which is carried out all over the world could not become a practice here?

    Hamas Interior Minister: “Allah be praised, we all have Arab roots, and every Palestinian in Gaza and throughout Palestine, can prove his Arab roots, whether from Saudi Arabia or from Yemen or anywhere.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bd3tA_dAl-A

    How recent are those “Arab roots”?

      Hamas is a small part of Satans army.

      Hamas Interior Minister: “Allah be praised, we all have Arab roots, and every Palestinian in Gaza and throughout Palestine, can prove his Arab roots, whether from Saudi Arabia or from Yemen or anywhere.”

      Interesting PROJECTION – obviously, the Fakestinians feel a great deal of insecurity on this score.

      Actual Saudi Arabians and Yemenis would never believe for even a second that Mediterranean riffraff could be even remotely related to them.

      In fact, many of the former Jordanian citizens (re-baptized “Palestinians” in the 1970s) now living in the West Bank and Gaza are descended from recent non-Arab and even non-Muslim immigrants.

    Is this the Hamas versión of ” peace in our time” ?? We all know how the original versión turned out.

    Israel needs to do a lot more videos like this one.

    CNN and the NYT are nothing more than filthy, disgusting liars.

      CNN and the NYT are complicit in the murders of millions of people, through their unconditional support of Muslims.

      They would LIKE to be complicit in the murders of millions more right here in America.

      Supporting worldwide genocide of countless countries and cultures is much worse than being filthy, disgusting liars. They are monsters, just as the Muslims are.

    Speaking as a Texan who lives in that border state, it isn’t “illegal migrants;” it’s “illegal aliens.”

    The Mexicans are not angels just because the Muslims are worse. At last report, (mostly) Mexican illegals murder about 4,500 Americans every year, and kill another 4,500 in drunk driving incidents.

    We don’t have numbers on how many American women and children they rape (they are big on both rape and pedophilia, just as the Muslims are – Trump was absolutely correct that Mexico does not send us its best people), and we have no figures on people who are attacked and injured, but who survive.

    Despite the globalists renaming illegals in an effort to whitewash them; people who sneak across our borders are “illegal aliens.”

    I think that legislation that stops anyone from saying anything uncomplimentary about Muslims in Canada passed, didn’t it?

    Trump is brilliant; he is probably already working on protecting the northern border. Sadly, we are already so financially damaged from the Obama Theft Administration that we may not be able to take in many Canadians seeking asylum from the Caliphate of Canada, no matter how much we would want to.

    Netanyahu is a great man and a very intelligent man. He will never give up Israel. Israel belongs to the Lord God of Heaven, NOT to allah, the evil islamic god. Israel will always be victorious and God will always protect israel.
