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

Riots in Gaza, Hamas fires rockets into Israel over Trump’s Jerusalem decision

Dec 16, 2017 7:24 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Israeli troops shot over 40 Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza during violent riots in response to “Trump’s move to declare Jerusalem the capital of Israel…During the violent riots IDF soldiers fired selectively towards main instigators the military said…..2,500 Palestinians participated in violent riots in the West Bank and 3,500 Palestinians demonstrated near the Gaza Strip.”

In addition to protests on the ground, Hamas has launched rockets into Israel almost every night.

Yet Israel will surely be called “murderers” and “oppressors,” when the only “satisfactory” move that Israel could possibly make that would please and fully appease the Palestinian leadership would be for Israel to put down its weapons, surrender to the jihadists, and be obliterated.

How dare America and Israel not continue to appease jihadists and Islamic supremacists and allow them to dictate to the world what it should do, out of fear of their wrath and violence? There comes a point where one more lunch stolen by the bully is too much.

The Palestinian jihadists have done such a superb job at spinning the discourse to make them look like the victims that they have managed to fool the world into thinking that they seek a two-state solution and peace with Israel, despite documented proof of their ambitions to obliterate the Jewish state.

Muslim states have likewise managed to retain their practices of polygamy, forced marriage, child brides, sex slaves, murdering gays, murdering infidels, murdering apostates, decapitations, Christian persecution, FGM, and the like, while making Muslims out to be the victims of “Islamophobia.”

Now that Trump refuses to play their games and participate in emboldening them, and has recognized that Israel is really the bullied (not the bully), their days of rage have begun. Their renewed calls for intifada have begun, with their chants of how murderous the “Zionist regime” is as it acts to protect its citizens.

Remember also that Israel has welcomed in Muslim Arabs, while Mahmoud Abbas has vowed that not one Israeli will exist in a Palestinian state.

Appeasement over the decades has enabled jihadists and jihadist states to increase their ambitions.

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) issued a statement “that Trump’s move in effect disqualifies the U.S. from any role in the Israel-Palestine peace process. The organization also asked for other states to recognize east Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine.”  The OIC has one goal, and that is to expand the House of Islam.

The inconvenient truth is that the whole peace process was always a fallacy and a show. How could any peace process even begin when one side is determined, according to its own Charters, to obliterate the other side? The peace process is an illusion that became a propagandist reality. The goal of obliterating Israel is in the Hamas, PA and Fatah Charters, and the PLO manifesto indicates that it was created in order to bring about the “liquidation” of Israel. Ditto for Hizballah, which is funded by Iran.

“Israeli Troops Shoot More Than 40 Palestinians In Gaza, West Bank”, by Jonah Bennett, Daily Caller, December 15, 2017:

Israeli troops shot more than 40 Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank Friday in response to protests over President Donald Trump’s move to declare Jerusalem the capital of Israel.

Medical officials stated Friday that 38 Palestinians were wounded on the border of the Gaza Strip, three were wounded in the West Bank and in the city of Ramallah, Israeli forces shot a man who stabbed a member of their unit, Reuters reports.

“During the violent riots IDF soldiers fired selectively towards main instigators,” the military said.

According to the Israeli military, 2,500 Palestinians participated in violent riots in the West Bank and 3,500 Palestinians demonstrated near the Gaza Strip.

The protests over Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital are now entering their second week. In addition to protests on the ground, Hamas has launched rockets into Israel almost every night, though the rockets are usually so ineffective that they rarely cause any civilian casualties or substantial damage. A total of 15 rockets have been fired at Israel over the past week, but no civilians have been killed.

In response to rocket fire, Israel has been launching airstrikes in Gaza to target Hamas training facilities. The airstrikes have resulted in two deaths.

Plain clothes Israeli troops disguised as Palestinian protesters have also been moving among the crowd to arrest rock throwers in Ramallah.

The rest of the broader region hasn’t taken kindly to Trump’s announcement. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation, which represents 57 member states, issued a statement Wednesday that Trump’s move in effect disqualifies the U.S. from any role in the Israel-Palestine peace process. The organization also asked for other states to recognize east Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine.

At the meeting, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan declared Israel a “terrorist state,” and Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu criticized other Arab nations for not condemning the U.S.’s actions strongly enough. Saudi Arabia and Egypt, two U.S. allies in the region, have been slow to get in the fray over the Jerusalem decision.

“It seems some countries are very timid of the United States,” Cavusoglu said…..

    Christine, so you don’t want report about brutal killings of Palestinians by fascist Zionist forces? you mean the lives of Palestinians are less than that of rats according to evil Talmud? you are wicked!!.

      The truth is as here reported. The so-called “Peace Process” has always been nothing more tha a charade. Read the Hamas charter again. How can you have a peaceful settlement when one side (Hamas) continues its vow to annihilate Israel no matter what. Once I was pro-Palestinian. Oh those poor little Palestinian children throwing rocks at the big bad Israeli tanks. Then I began to wonder why Hamas kept lobbing rockets into Israel when they knew they couldn’t defeat the Israeli army. Then I began to watch Palestinian kinder garden videos (thanks to MEMRI). I remember one charming little Muslim girl with her dinky little hijab who, when asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, replied in a charming little girl voice: “I want to be a shaheed (martyr).” And what do you want to do, my dear?” asked the equally charming “teacher” in her lovely hijab. “I want to kill Jews, this abused child replied. “And how do you want to do that, my dear?” asked the “teacher?” “With this,” the little robot monster replied.” And she pulled out a bloody big butcher knife bigger than she was and waved it about. Case closed.
      So don’t give me any more of this crap about the poor victimized Palestinians. Palestinian “mothers” are over-joyed when their children are killed for the sake of their bloody god Allah. I’m no Jew lover but the evidence is all in and available to every person still capable of critical thinking, which excludes Muslims who are not allowed to think outside their inherently intolerant and violent ideology. There is no choice for any reasonable person who knows the facts but to support Israel all the way.

        Yep.

        Me too.

        If only our craven Aussie ABC and SBS (the so-called multicultural broadcaster) had the guts to ask the MEMRI people to provide them with a representative selection of sizeable excerpts from standard Fatah/ PA and Hamas kiddie TV programs – the stuff they show to the toddlers, right on up to the stuff they feed the teenagers. And then some random samples from bog-standard mohammedan Friday khutbas – and the sessions on their most popular talk shows – as broadcast by the most popularly-viewed mohammedan-country TV channels. All accurately translated and subtitled.

        NOt only the many, many programs that involve the most bizarre hysterical gibberish – dripping with hatred – directed toward the Yahood (Jews as such); the mohammedans usually refer to “Yahood’ not to ‘Israelis’, but also the other programs that discuss Christians/ Christianity, and America, and other infidel lands.

        It would be an education for the public. A window onto the ‘soul’ (to call it that) of the Ummah. Watching it – seeing what Mohammedans say – or shout, or hiss, or spit, or shriek at each other – when their masks are off, would be like descending into the circles of Hell where the damned souls rage, shriek, and snarl.

      Ibrahim, for ONCE you uttered some perverted logic:you mean the lives of Palestinians are less than that of rats according to evil Talmud?

      The word ‘palestinians’ does NOT exist in the Talmud hence you are the usual Pathological LYING Muslim

      According to Muhammad’s Quran these rioters are RATS because their lives are not worth a DIME!

      Ibrahim, try for ONCE in your miserable and unrewarding life to answer a simple question:

      Can any human being NAME ten Muslims who have contributed ANYTHING for the Advancement and or Betterment of humanity in any field of human endeavour in the last 600 years?

      $200,000 says no one can. Please prove me WRONG and collect!

      Also as usual, you will avoid answering this very simple but DEADLY question

        Your $200 grand is safe Rassooli. I’m no scholar so please correct me if I’m wrong but from what I’ve read, the Talmud is the Rabbinical discussion and definition of what is in the Torah. Both were in existence before Islam or Palestinians, therefore, Ib’s statement is not just invalid, but ludicrous. He is most likely restating what his Imam told him.

      The Chinese are just reproducing cheap versions of western ideas and products. They don’t seem to be inventing anything new. I may be wrong and please correct me with the facts if that is the case.
      As for the islamic world, if it doesn’t like western ideas and technology, than why do they use them?
      Why do they use weapons that have been invented in the west or Eastern Europe?
      Also, if muslims desire to imitate their false prophet, why don’t they ride into battle on horseback brandishing a sword?

    • gravenimage says

      Dec 19, 2017 at 12:46 am

      Like Ari, I would ask who is this “we”?

      I suppose Ibrahim itace muhammed just means that he and all his fellow Muslims are tired of being reminded how intellectually arid Islam is. I thought they liked it that way, though…

    President Trump made the right and wise decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. For not to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel would be appeasement to the powers of Islam. Appeasement will only be viewed by Muslim as weakness. Therefore, with appeasement, the Muslim arrogance and contempt for America would only grow.
    Furthermore, all this Muslim rioting and other forms of Islamic violence and terrorism which violent jihad entities, as Hamas, claim is the result of the US embassy move to Jerusalem. This Muslim violence is a somewhat of a reminder on the 1979 move TIME AFTER TIME in which the hero of that movie said “The first man to raise his fist is the man who has run out of ideas.” Therefor it may only be concluded that all the rioting Muslims with all their violent mayhem must be men who have run out of idea’s

      Muslims are dying to uphold a fictitious story about a man riding a magical horse, and even that story never said it was from Jerusalem. Ha???

          It’s all Trump’s low-key, indirect way of helping the Palestinians to demonstrate clearly to a better-informed and increasingly fed-up world their temper tantrum two-year-old mentality. They look good smearing egg on their own faces.

      Dec 17, 2017 at 9:46 pm

      I heard from a news commentator who lives in Israel, that there are violent demonstrations when the news drew show up after a Mosque Friday prayers. Otherwise the people just go home. I saw a little girl waiting for the cameras to roll, and then “action”, she started shaking her fist at the Israeli soldiers and yelling in their faces. The soldiers just smiled and ignored her.

      Another father (cameras rolling) goaded his little toddler boy to throw rocks at soldiers and march around with a flag. He was trying to get the soldiers to kill his child. The little child threw the rocks in the air. He was too little to understand. I think the little boy shook the Israeli soldiers hand. The leadership for these children is despicable. What a horrible father to do that to a sweet little boy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJXAwohdBZE

    All those Muslims who are so engaged with anger because President Trump recognized Jerusalem as the Capital city of the Jewish State of Israel are nonsensical. For the facts are Jerusalem was the capital of ancient Israel and likewise Jerusalem is the capital city of modern Israel. Those Muslims who are so very angry over this US embassy move to Jerusalem are a reminder that Benjamin Franklin had printed in POOR RICHARD’S ALMANACK “There are many reasons to become angry but very few good ones.”

  7. Walter Sieruk says

    Dec 16, 2017 at 11:00 am

    Many of the Muslim /Arabs who call themselves “Palestinians” are very mad that President Trump has recognized Jerusalem as the capital city of the State of Israel. Many of those same “Palestinians” were very happy when they found out about the mass jihad murders in America on September 11, 2001. So who cares if they are mad or not about the US embassy move to Jerusalem ?
