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

“Palestinians” fire 200 rockets and missiles into Israel, Israel hits Hamas cell launching arson kites

Jul 15, 2018 7:07 pm By Robert Spencer

“We are not prepared to accept any attacks against us and we will respond appropriately.”

Common sense. But the UN will again rain down condemnations upon Israel. Which is just one of many reasons why the U.S. needs to defund the UN and expel it from New York.

“Israel strikes Hamas cell launching arson kites during Gaza ceasefire,” Times of Israel, July 15, 2018:

The IDF on Sunday said it fired at a group of Palestinians flying incendiary balloons into southern Israel from the northern Gaza Strip.

Reports in Palestinian media said one person was injured by the Israeli drone strike in the Beit Hanoun area.

In a statement, the army said the Palestinians were members of the Hamas terrorist organization that rules the Strip.

The strike came hours after a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas went into effect, following the most severe exchange of fire between Israel and Hamas since the 2014 war.

Over the weekend, Palestinian terrorists fired some 200 rockets and missiles at Israeli communities near the Gaza border. In response, the IDF struck dozens of Hamas targets in the Strip.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday reiterated that Israel would not tolerate the continued kite and balloon arson attacks that have burned thousands of dunams of forests and agricultural land adjacent to the Gaza border in recent months, including fresh fires started on Sunday.

He said Hamas was hit “substantially and hard” in the overnight Israeli strikes.

“Our policy is clear: Whoever hurts us, we will hit them with great strength. This is what we did yesterday,” he said. “I hope that they got the message; if not, they will get it later.”

Netanyahu denied reports that said the ceasefire brokered by Egypt did not include the cessation of the arson attacks.

“This is incorrect. We are not prepared to accept any attacks against us and we will respond appropriately,” he added….

    The morally bankrupt un should relocate to Caracas or Tehran. It is simply an appendage of the global terror mob, the muslim brotherhood.

    Israel should try and get a hold of the `Baby Trump Balloon`, fill it with some type of `liquid` and send it into gaza.

      Yes!
      If Mayor ‘Free-Speech’ Khan hasn’t already offered it to his PA friends for similar use against Israel…
      What a grand sight to see that piece of foolishness shot down in flames, while those who attempted to send it run like chickens to avoid its landing on them.

    “Over the weekend, Palestinian terrorists fired some 200 rockets and missiles at Israeli communities near the Gaza border. In response, the IDF struck dozens of Hamas targets in the Strip.”

    Palestinian terrorists fit the classic definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

    Or maybe, for some strange reason that I cannot understand, they want the same results…

    Israel. The most hated country in world. Why I ask, is it because Israel exists in their own land which they have inhabited for over 4000 years, and have a documented history of doing so. The only country whose people live in a true, respectful democracy. The only country who never raises a hand except to defend themselves. Israel, a truly civilized nation. I think all who oppose them have a green eyed monster problem.

      Yes, it is an opposition borne from jealousy and hatred for the God of Israel and His people.

    A “ceasefire” has no meaning for moslim terrorists. And since “ceasefire’ includes the word “Fire,” it has to include arson attacks with whatever the moslims can use to cause harm and destruction and possible loss of life to the people of Israel.

    Their “word” agreeing to cease firing means nothing. Just as their claims to want “peace.”

    Muslims will only make peace if they genuinely believe that they have no chance of winning at war. Kor’an 47.35 & commentaries. That peace, regardless of its nominal duration, will only be observed as long as the Muslims believe it would be disadvantageous to violate it. And they’ve never made a secret of this doctrine.

    When will the people charged with our protection pay attention to this? Is their failure to recognize this, in itself governmental malpractice?

    Oh and……Jews are through shuffling off to the pogrom, even if it’s UN-sanctioned. UN, unprecedented shame lies on the table before you. Seize it, the Muslims will applaud you. Killing Jews will keep them occupied for maybe a decade before they come for you.

    Get the US (Israel and Australia) out of the UN and then get the UN out of the US, preferably back to Babylon where it belongs

    Yes, we should pull out of the UN.. That organization is run by third-world despots who are part of the globalist agenda.. we’ve been funding their anti-American agenda for decades. I’m sick of it.

    The UN compound sits on 12 beautiful acres on the East River.. It should be used for a more useful purpose. Even if that land was used as a landfill, that would be of more use to the people of NYC (and America). Or maybe it is a landfill now, just filled with the garbage of the world…

    Thanks to Old Canadian for having said pure truth, nothing but truth, about the great nation that is ISRAEL . The only nation of its kind which is fighting everyday to save their fatherland from the islamic criminals. They are the true victims of the current politically correct time, of which the leadership is provided by foul money from the Middle East. The eternally immoral islam has spoiled our peace and tranquility. Israel and India are the worst affected.

    The time to get out of the UN is long overdue it consist of Pro Muslim Policies The UN approves strikes against Israel yet complains when Israel defends itself what a Crock of BS
