Al-Zahhar has, by making this statement, identified those who are deceiving the public as the New York Times, CNN, the BBC, and the rest of the establishment media.
“Senior Hamas Official Mahmoud Al-Zahhar on Gaza Protests: This Is Not Peaceful Resistance, It Is Supported by Our Weapons,” MEMRI, May 13, 2018:
Senior Hamas Official Mahmoud Al-Zahhar said that Hamas was employing “peaceful resistance bolstered by a military force and by security agencies, and enjoying tremendous popular support.” Speaking on Al-Jazeera on May 13, Al-Zahhar, former foreign minister in the Hamas government, said that the option of armed struggle has not diminished. “On the contrary, it is growing and developing,” he said.
Al-Zahhar also says this about whether Hamas is offering peaceful resistance at the Gaza border now:
This is a clear terminological deception…When you have weapons that are being wielded by men who were able to prevent the strongest army in the region from entering the Gaza strip for 51 days and were able to capture or kill soldiers of that army, is this really “peaceful resistance?”
This is not peaceful resistance. Has the option (of armed struggle) diminished? No. On the contrary, it is growing and developing. That’s clear.
So when we talk about “peaceful resistance,” we are deceiving the public. This is peaceful resistance bolstered by a military force and by security agencies and enjoying tremendous popular support….

VERBAL JIHAD CONFUSES THE LEFTARDS ABOUT ISLAMIC AGGRESSION
VERBAL JIHAD IS DISSEMBLING OR DECEIVING ABOUT JIHAD IN ORDER TO SOFTEN RESISTANCE TO IT BY CONFUSING THE GENERAL PUBLIC
The object of verbal jihad is to paralyze thought and make all criticism of Islam impossible, to drown out objections to Islamic aggression and even to make non-Islamic ideas illegal, so that orthodox Islamic ones are the only ones that may be expressed. Debate and questioning of Islam is not desired by jihadists, because Islam cannot be intellectually defended and that becomes apparent quickly in debate. Verbal jihad is thus AVOIDANCE of debate about Islam and the replacement of vigorous debate about the PRIMARY SOURCE TEXTS with soothing platitudes.
Quote: “Takiyya permeates almost all the activities and dealings of Muslims with non-Muslim societies…” –Sam Solomon (former sheikh)
Diane Harvey says
Mahmoud Al-Zahhar was born in 1945, making him 72 years old. How is this possible? Dying for the sake of their Allah is, they tell us, the best choice that a Muslim can ever make. So why did Mahmoud delay punching his ticket to Islamic Paradise? He’s encouraged others to be “striving in the path of God (al-jihad fi sabil Allah),” all of them quite a bit younger than he. Hearing his excuses would be a fun exercise.
DHazard says
He’s just emulating Muhammad who built his army by telling tribeless young men that Paradise awaited them when they killed people and took their money. Young fools following old fools.
Walter Sieruk says
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
abu taleb says
The US (and other western countries) must stop giving any money to Palestina. The only solution for peace is by making the Palestinians (also applies to other muslims) too busy trying to earn some money for living.
If the US wants to be generous, there are other people they can really help who will really appreciate the help.
Traci Hodge says
EXACTLY!! The US must stop coddling groups like The Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR that flow money, support & recruits to Hamas. We also must impose MORE sanctions on Iran making it impossible for them to fund terrorism in Hamas and around theworld. Stopthem from also providing weapons and rcruits. Dry up the money and Hamas dies.
gravenimage says
Actually, the US is cutting off the flow of aid to the “Palestinians” who use it to pay the families of Jihadists.

Yes, Larry, and VERBAL JIHAD IS THE STRATEGY of making Islam supreme through deception.

I was in Toronto recently and saw lots of his type there.
Lebel says
This is taqqiya level Honest. It’s when one Muslim decides unilaterally to stop using taqqiya for whatever reason.
gravenimage says
Notice that Lebel has *no* problem with Hamas slaughtering Israelis. *Ugh*.
Tom says
Clearly the “protesters” are violent and, considering some of those killed are Hamas militia, are out to become martyr’s for Hamas who have said they will pay the family of anyone wounded or killed.
Global News is spreading the lie that those in attendance are peaceful and it is the Israeli army that is the aggressor.

I am repeating this quote from a post by Larry.
Now for me: When, when are United States, Europe, GB and all the other civilized nations going to wake up?!? islam is a system of war and conquest with a religion Trojan horse on the outside.
mortimer says
Vic, politicians are very gradually waking up as they have dealings with Muslims. We must teach everyone about TAQIYYA.
1) Learn what TAQIYYA is.
2) Write down your understanding of TAQIYYA
3) Perfect your ideas about taqiyya and make them TERSE and PACKED WITH MEANING
4) Tell everyone you know about TAQIYYA
5) Example: “Islam has a doctrine of deceiving the non-Muslim about the Islamic conquest of the world in order to keep the non-Muslims trusting and unsuspicious. All Muslims practice VERBAL JIHAD or TAQIYYA or they are no longer Muslims. Muslims cannot tell the non-Muslims about their world conquest plan or the non-Muslims will be tipped off to it and they will become suspicious and even counter the jihad. Muslims try to keep the non-Muslims from becoming suspicious. This is called TAQIYYA.
Indiana Tom says
“This is not peaceful resistance. When we talk about peaceful resistance, we are deceiving the public”
The Muslim told the truth for once.
David says
He says that they are preventing the strongest army in the region from entering Gaza, clearly this is to embolden his cannon fodder because if Israel wanted to they could easily rip into the strip.
Terra Nova says
Abu Taleb, are you the mayor of Rotterdam in the Netherlands? . His name is the same as yours.
Simon Shapiro says
An important task Robert is fulfilling is that of education.
Thank you for educating us.
Perhaps Robert can help us understand a point that eludes us:
When Israel decided to enforce its sovereignty, so did Egypt.
The paleshtinians are not excluded from Israel only.
They are exclused from Egypt as well.
When the piece was negotiated between Israel and Egypt, an Egyptian pre-condition was that
they Will Not be asked to take any of the Gaza strip back.
The negotiation stuttered around inches of the Sini desert. Egypt insisted on getting (in their opinion)
all of the Sini desert, but under no circumstances will they agree to accept an inch of the Gaza strip.
Sini yes, Gaza – absolutely not.
Remember, Egypt ruled that piece of land and its ‘refugees’ from 1948 until 1967.
They kept these people and their children in these ‘camps’.
Israel liberated them, gave them jobs, and still provides them with electricity, water, banking, and food.
Egypt keeps its border sealed up. Where are the demonstration?
WPM says
It OK for Egypt to keep “refugees” in camps without clean water or electricity, its ok for Jordon to kill and round up “refugees” into camps. it other Moslems are expected to kill ,enslave , exploit other Moslems they see as less then “true” Moslems that is what they do .They are the best of people their tribe of Moslems ,all outside of their tribe are” less of Moslem ” ,but the Jews and other are below even the “less of Moslem people”.
Simon Shapiro says
According to their ”religion of peace”, Jews are dogs and pigs.
Or, is it below dogs and pigs?
Islam is love says Baraq Hussein.
FYI says
muslims know all about deceiving…Lying and cheating is very much the islamic way…
1.Their god allah is the “best of deceivers” koran 3 v 54
2.Their “prophet” muhammed ADMITTED to being a fraud..
“I have FABRICATED things AGAINST GOD and have imputed to him words which HE HAS NOT SPOKEN”
Al tabari 6:111
“Words he has not said”:that would be their antichristian,antiJewish, Commandment-of-God violating “holy” koran
3.Their religion actively ENCOURAGES lying to promote islam via taqqiya,tawriya,kitman,muruna{or as God calls it “bearing FALSE WITNESS”,a concept,like obeying any or all of God’s Commandments ,which appears to be completely lost on the fraudulently pious muslims.
so..
we have a god who admits to being a deceiver,a “prophet” who admits to fabricating things about God and a “holy” book claiming to be from God when it clearly isn’t.
Robert Buice says
Sounds like the top dog is really a bottom dog nothing less than a Satan’s desciple. The people in GAZA needs to see the deceiver. The handwriting is on the wall.
Simon Shapiro says
And who told you they do not see the deceiver for what he is?
There are only two possibilities here:
1. They (whatever ‘they’ are) are afraid. Hamas is not a benign nor benevolent bunch
2. They like what they see. The tens of thousands of participamts do not strike the observer
as timid cowering bunch.
As usual, the truth lies somewhere in between, with some ‘they’ at one extreme,
some other ‘they’ at the other extreme, with a majority somewhere in between.
Having witnessed first hand some of the schooling these people received, as far back as
1930’s, I am not surprised at the composition of these groups above.
Buraq says
@ Lebel and Ibe itace Mohamed
Hi guys! Here it is, straight from the horse’s mouth!
Hamas official, Salah Bardawil: 50 of the 62 Gazans killed in border violence were our members
Salah Bardawil’s confirmation means the number of acknowledged members of terror groups who died on Monday and Tuesday is now 53
Giacomo Latta says
Finally some truth, and it’s from a war-mongering Palestinian of all people. We shall certainly never get any from the leftist Media who inspect all physical confrontations to see not who the instigator is but rather if the attacked party is responding with ‘reasonable’ force, and, of course, the answer is always no.
