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

Hamas paid family of baby who died of heart defect $2,200 to say Israelis killed her

Jun 21, 2018 11:33 am By Robert Spencer

The international media eagerly bought and propagated the lie. How much were the various “journalists” involved paid?

“Hamas paid the family of baby $2,200 to say she died in clashes with Israeli forces, Gaza infiltrator’s testimony reveals,” JTA, June 21, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Hamas paid the family of an 8-month-old baby to say she died during clashes between Arab rioters and Israeli troops, a family member said.

Mahmoud Omar, 20, told Israeli investigators that his 8-month-old cousin Layla al-Ghandour died of a heart disease, the same disease the baby’s brother died from a year earlier. He said he heard about his cousin’s death while protesting at the border in early May.

The information was contained in testimony by Omar, filed as part of an indictment in Beersheba District Court on Thursday. Omar, captured attempting to infiltrate Israel through the Gaza border fence, was charged with several security offenses including membership in a terrorist organization, terrorist activity, and attempted infiltration, according to Hadashot news. He reportedly is a member of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, which promised financial aid to his family.

Omar testified that Hamas paid his aunt Mariam and her husband Anwar 8,000 shekels, or about $2,200 to say their daughter died from exposure to tear gas at the border riots.

The baby’s death inflamed passions and led to a deluge of condemnation against Israel for its response to the border riots. At least 120 Arab operatives, including dozens of members of local terror groups, have been killed during the more than two months of rioting, according to Gaza officials.

The New York Times reported last month “The Ghandour family acknowledged that Layla suffered from patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), a congenital heart disease commonly described as a hole in the heart.”…

    What? Lies from the mouths of Muslims? Surely not!

    Ha! Whenever there’s a buck to be made for no work, you’ll find Muslims. Wherever the opportunity to hate Jews presents, you’ll find Muslims.

    They hit the jackpot with the death of this poor baby. Hate the Jews and be paid for it. They certainly never let the truth get in the way of victimhood.

      There’s a reason the family was paid to lie and it’s because international hatred of Jews is at fever point and the Muslims feed into that.

      Lying, Rape, murder and. Much more is all part if Islamic teachings. It’s in their book of hate, The Koran.

    Not surprised.

    Have to beef-up the victim narrative in any way they can. Keep them hating is the only objective. As we have recently seen using kids as victims is the best way to do it.

    Ooo…this could be fun! I’m a 51 yr old fmr professional dancer who developed Lupus bringing my boys into the world 23 yrs ago…nearing the end of my journey & in a morbidly-giddy phase, so play along…how much could I make for my sons’ college loan paybacks: OK, I was “KIDNAPPED by ‘the Jews’; POISONED, disintegrating every muscle, joint, & organ; TORTURED, obliterating every bone in my body, & I’m now going blind from ISRAELI ACID POURED IN MY EYES!” Maybe that could earn me the 4 yr undergrad for 2, then I’ll work on a really elaborate final blow to cover med school for 2! It’ll have to be really good…
    DAMN…they dare call the Jewish people pigs? Hopefully I’ll be able to hold that innocent child when I get to Heaven, & explain that mommy & daddy didn’t truly equate their life to $2200; they’re 2 of MANY very confused “hostages” of a sick, evil, lying farce called Islam. I’m sad for their loss, disgusted they used it to receive a Taquiya payment, & relieved that’s 1 blessed child SAVED from a life imprisoned by Islam…the horrors they’ve been SAVED from!

      Of course, you are a civilized person, Tricia.

      Hope you are better now.

        Is selling a dead child civilized??

          koka, reread Tricia’s post–she is saying what she *didn’t* do, and comparing it to Muslim actions.

    Had the HAMAS “government” appealed to Israel for medical assistance, there is every chance that this baby could have been successfully operated on “BY A ZIONIST”.
    Remember the Hamas leader’s mother-in-law was treated in Israel!!!!!

    • gravenimage says

      Jun 21, 2018 at 11:25 pm

      True, Elliott.

      Fatah actually complained on one of their children’s shows that a cartoon character “died” because he has to wait to be pass a checkpoint and be checked for weapons before entering Israel for medical treatment.

    +1
    The Hamas rather a baby die of a curable disease then seek treatment in an Israeli hospital with treatment provide by Jewish doctors. On top of that blaming the Jews by lying about the babies cause of death. Dead babies worth more then live children to the Hamas ,Islam the cult of death even using their own children put on the alter to allah like the old time pagans.

    Deadly irony as this organization exists just across the Gaza border in ISRAEL for the express purpose of saving Arab children with heart issues.

    ……………..

    How disgusting is this? Hardly a surprise, though.

    The idea that taking a baby to a riot is pretty insane in the first place…

    Most of those KILLED BY ISLAM are the highly INBRED children of FIRST COUSIN marriages.

    There are over 900 genetically related illnesses in Arabian countries.

    The baby had a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) a surgically correctable lesion. They could have used the money for her surgery. This is medical child neglect and charges should be brought against both the parents and the financial backers.

    Hamas rather use its money for exploding condom bombs then to be used to save a babies life! A dead baby used to spread Hamas lies!
