But the Gazans are peaceful!
“Incendiary kite sparks major fire near Sapir College,” by Matan Tzuri and Or Azran, Ynet News, June 5, 2018 (thanks to David):
An incendiary kite flown from Gaza sparked a major fire in an open field across from the Sapir College in the Sha’ar HaNegev Regional Council, near the southern city of Sderot on Tuesday afternoon.
Heavy smoke covered the college building as firefighters were dispatched to the area and worked to prevent the fire from spreading to the nearby road and into the college. There were no reports of injuries.
On Tuesday afternoon, fires broke out in seven other locations in the Gaza vicinity, four in the Eshkol Regional Council and three in Sha’ar Hanegev. Firefighters gained control of the fire in all places….
Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Monday that Israel was not prepared to accept a reality in which incendiary kites are flown over into the country from the Gaza Strip on a daily basis.
“We should be clear that we are not prepared to accept the kites becoming normality. The same applies for riots on the border fence and attempts to breach it and cause damage to the sovereign territory of Israel,” Lieberman said during his remarks at the Yisrael Beytenu faction meeting….
“That’s why we will act in accordance with Israeli interests in time and at a timing that suits us, whenever we decide,” he warned. “In any event, I am not in the custom of leaving scores unsettled and we will settle all scores with Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.”
According to the defense minister, 600 such kites have been sent from the strip so far, while 400 have been intercepted by Israeli security forces using technological means.
“Two-hundred succeeded in reaching our territory and they burned 9,000 dunams of crops and forests,” Lieberman said.
Logic&Reason says
So much for telling Islam to go fly a kite……
Logic&Reason says
On a MSM broadcast near you:
“Thousands of peaceful Palestinians were having a lovely picnic in Gaza today, and hundreds of their children’s kites got too close to the BBQ pits. The wind, unfortunately, was blowing in the direction of Israel.”
Wakeup says
So stop.
Walter Sieruk says
That incendiary kite that was viciously by a jihadist[s] launched from Gaza which had done much damage, is very malice-filled. in and Islamic way. Likewise all that Muslim/jihadist 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/Hamas 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 Hamas/ Muslims with all their violent mayhem must be men who have run out of idea’s
In addition,all those Muslims who are so angered 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.”
Which all this it should also remembered that 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 ?
KJW says
The incendiary kite is malice-filled, indeed. It also reminds me of the second definition of incendiary which is one who stirs up conflict, an agitator, firebrand.
Qur’an 19:83 Do you not see that we have sent the devils upon the disbelievers inciting them to evil with (constant) incitement?
Other translations say:
“See you not that we have sent shaytan against the disbelievers to push them to do evil?”
…to confound them with confusion
…to prick them
…inciting them by incitement
…to incite them with fury
…to incite the unbelievers with sin
Allah deliberately causes unbelievers to do evil. It’s like what Muhammad did in Mecca. Per Ishaq/Hisham, he was causing trouble, starting fights, insulting the Meccans’ ancestors and gods until a bunch of guys went to Uncle Abu Talib and told them and they wanted to kill him, but Uncle Abu wouldn’t let them. So, some of his followers got roughed up, though Muhammad was never hurt.
Hamas sends their little devils to incite the Israelis and then if Israel hits them hard, which they should do, you hear “evil Zionist Nazis!”
They vandalize old Israeli cemeteries too, have thrown stones at innocent people traveling and leave spray-painted swastikas around. They’re like sandflies at the beach.
Buraq says
Deadly simple solution – literally. Start assassinating the Hamas leadership. One every few days will soon bring these jihadists to heel! Seventh Century Clowns!

Mayor Richard J. Daly, during the 1968 Democratic Convention Riots, said:
“I have conferred with the superintendent of police this morning and I gave him the following instructions, which I thought were instructions on the night of the fifth that were not carried out. I said to him very emphatically and very definitely that [he should issue an order] immediately and under his signature to shoot to kill any arsonist or anyone with a Molotov cocktail in his hand in Chicago because they’re potential murderers, and to issue a police order to shoot to maim or cripple any arsonists and looters–arsonists to kill and looters to maim and detain.”

Mayor Daly was right, arsonist, in the act of arson, should be shot dead.
R Russell says
Simple solution. The crops in the acreage destroyed must be subtracted from any grain being sent to Gaza.
mortimer says
Russel, that won’t do it. Subtract money from the mega-rich rulers in Pally leadership. When the leaders have their PERSONAL fortunes attacked, they will sue for peace.
carpediadem says
No they won’t. They will complain but keep pursuing jihad which is their absolute priority.
gravenimage says
I doubt it, Mortimer.

Arson. A major crime. Often used by those who delight in seeing humans suffer extreme pain.
Devout moslims are the sons and daughters of demons intent on murdering the entire human race. They are digging a pit into which they themselves will fall.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
An earlier post has a video from Brigitte Gabriel. I’m a big fan and I think her story is worth listening to. Her story is a cautionary tale for the West:

(The audio and video go slightly out of sync near the end but this is the most complete copy of this speech that I could find.)

They burned their own agricultural facilities after Israel withdrew from Gaza, so burning stuff that isn’t even their own seems perfectly reasonable.
Their arab ancestors seemed to prefer The Land being merely a worthless desert, as opposed to the verdant garden it has been nurtured into being more recently, so this further example of ‘loving death’ instead of life is not so surprising.
Rarely says
The population of Gaza has doubled since the Israeli pull out so they have been doing more than demonstrate.
Gordon Bailey says
That is all they can do is breed what they cannot feed along with their constant breeding of hatred and mayhem.
Ren says
Construction or destruction?
Muslims go for destruction.
Gene says
Tell the Gazans that there won’t be any food shipments for awhile because Hamas burned it all with their incendiary kites, and it will take time to regrow it.
Older Canadian says
Gene. Agree, absolute common sense. You destroy it you lose it. But….can you just imagine the damning headlines in the western media, along with the UN against Israel if they did this.
Francisco D'Anconia says
The noble Palestinians strapped bombs on their kids, called them shahids, and sent them to murder a thousand Jews. Israel had to build a security fence.
Then the poor, oppressed (recently arrived) indigenous Palestinian natives started firing tens of thousands of rockets onto Israeli civilians. Israel had to build a state of the art missile defense system, Iron Dome.
Then the pious Palestinians started the glorious stabbing and car ramming jihad, so pleasing to God in its targeting of any woman or child who happened to be a Jew. The IDF was forced to shoot those attackers.
Then the peaceful Palestinians dug dozens of kidnapping tunnels under the border. Israel is almost finished now with an underground wall.
Now they are flying fire bomb kites and destroying massive amounts of food…while relying on foreign charity food to survive. Israel will stop the kites. We’ll see how.
What will be next from the inspiring resistance who, after all, only want their human rights to kill the Jews and destroy their state? Clouds of radioactive beetles? If so, Israel will invent anti-nuclear bug spray…and treat Palestinians who are bitten.
I have a new radical idea. Arabs in Palestine give up on genocide, accept a few Jews as neighbors, get off the dole, and build a normal country.
Crazy, I know. But they’ve tried everything else.

Israel: 200 incendiary jihad kites from Gaza burn over 2,000 acres of crops and forests
……………………
For most people, kites are either fun children’s toys or else display beauty or showcase the skills of those flying them.
But Muslims can turn *anything* into a weapon. *Ugh*.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Had similar thoughts.
The ‘pals’ fly them from their rooftops on the steady desert winds as signs of what they see as hope and freedom, which is of course linked in their minds to the destruction of Israel, so i guess using them to actively further their genocidal hatred of Jews is to be expected.
Older Canadian says
Yep they are inventive after all. Who would have thought.
infidel says
They should be given the Nobel in coming up with different innovative ways of destruction.
shoehorn says
“Palestinian” contributions to the World:
1. Airplane hijacking
2. Suicide bomb-vests
3. Incendiary kites
Gordon Bailey says
That is what you get from the Palestinians whom take the Desert Sand and turn it into Dust whilst the Israelis take the same sand and turn it into earth. The Israelis flourish and succeed by planting the seeds of life as their jealous neighbors plant the seeds of hate and destruction.
Jack Holan says
If we can’t stop it completely we need to return in kind napalm to their farms, Orchards and Olive Groves. It won’t take much to wipe out their entire agricultural sector forcing them to import everything with dollars or Euros leaving Gaza to pay for it.
gravenimage says
Muslims in Gaza don’t have much of an agricultural sector. One of their first acts after the Israelis pulled out was to destroy the greenhouses that had been donated to them.
FYI says
God bless Israel!
The Holy Land.
It is given to the Jews as their rightful homeland.
It was not given to the Palestinians.
Book of Joel 3
dumbledoresarmy says
Muslims have *always* used fire-setting – burning crops, pastures, forests and houses – as a weapon of jihad.
When jihadis raided the northern mediterranean coastlines they would burn houses, barns, standing crops, pastures and orchards.
The aim is both to terrorise and to economically-damage the despised non-Muslims; to *punish* them for not being Muslim, to punish them for their heinous crime of refusing to adulate the long-dead Arab warlord , gang boss and slave-trader, mohammed, as a ‘prophet’.
shacktruth says
I wonder why so many newspapers fail to document such atrocities as incendiary kites. Same for television stations who purport to deliver “news.”
