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

29 fires erupt as “Palestinian” arson jihad ‎continues to scorch southern Israel

Aug 1, 2018 6:56 pm By Robert Spencer

Arson has long been a weapon of the jihad: “‘Unleash Hell’: New Al Qaeda magazine describes in detail how to start huge forest fires across the U.S..with instructions on how to make ’ember bombs’” — Daily Mail, May 3, 2012

“29 fires erupt as Palestinian arson terrorism ‎continues to scorch western Negev,” by Nikki Guttman and Adi Hashmonai, Israel Hayom, August 1, 2018:

Twenty-nine fires erupted in Israeli communities ‎near the Gaza Strip border Tuesday, as Palestinian ‎arson terrorism continued to wreak havoc near the ‎volatile frontier. ‎

One incendiary balloon sent over the Gaza border ‎landed on a parked vehicle in the Eshkol Regional ‎Council, damaging its roof. No injuries were ‎reported in the incident.‎

Sdot Negev Regional Council head Tamir Idan leveled ‎harsh criticism at the government over what he ‎called its tolerance of the situation. ‎

‎”Frankly, I’m very concerned by the government’s ‎inaction. Especially given the promises made to us ‎during their [ministers’] recent meetings with the ‎local council heads. ‎

‎”This type of prolonged inaction is perceived by the ‎other side as a serious weakness. Hamas continues to ‎dictate reality on the ground and we keep being ‎dragged behind it,” he said.‎

Various ministers visited the Gaza-vicinity ‎communities over the past few weeks, each saying ‎that Israel will not tolerate arson terrorism as the ‎norm near the border. ‎

Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman, who visited ‎Kibbutz Or Haner, some 3.7 kilometers (2.3 ‎miles) from ‎Gaza, last week, warned that ‎”if we have Color Red [rocket alerts] ‎here, Gaza will turn deep ‎red too.” ‎

‎”We would prefer not to be dragged into war, and ‎‎we’re doing everything we can to avoid a large ‎‎operation, but the ball is not in our court. I ‎‎highly recommend Hamas be wise about it,” Lieberman ‎said. ‎

Idan demanded the government “live up to its ‎statements that kite and balloon terrorism would be ‎treated like rocket fire.”‎…

    They paint swastikas on their firekites and call Israelis Nazis.

      Now why would they do that?

        Does repulsive Muslim apologist Amnon think we don’t know this story?

      no doubt, Mac, but it’s against the law for the cops and fire investigators to check to see if that might be the case; law enforcement would be performing islamophobic acts if they did so. it doesn’t take too much to teach all concerned not to go there.

      we need to have an investigator actually check the possibility; checking isn’t framing somebody, it’s investigation. if such an investigator gets smacked down, then that needs to be widely publicized by people like us, because the lying traitors in the legacy media won’t say jack about it.

      My father and stepmom are now threatened by the terrible Carr Fire near Redding, and are waiting to see if they get evacuation orders.

      Of course, many of these fires start naturally or through negligence; but ISIS haw called for arson Jihad, and this is certainly possible.

      Mac-101…I was just thinking the same thing…….and that is most probably what has happened……wonder why no group has taken credit…Even if they were not set by them..just to get publicity seems as they like to always be in the news doing some atrocious act or another.

      • Mac-101 says

        Aug 3, 2018 at 10:59 am

        I was thinkin the same thing. All I can come up with is that the Islamist suspect that their allies, the Libs, would turn on them for burining down their million dollar homes and killin their prize horses.

      Mac-101:
      The 2010 summer issue of al-queda’s magazine (“inspire”??) contained a message for all its
      believers to “burn the forests of the kuffar” (infidel).

      This information was sent in a memo to ALL Bureau of Land Management Managers in the West,
      including Rhonda Kharges, Bureau of Land Management in Harney County, Oregon.

      Her husband, Chad Kharges, as Director of Malheur Refuge in Harney County, would also have
      received the memo, as ALL Firefighters and Forestry Service Divisions.

      WHY is this relevant to anything???

      It was the summer of 2010, only days before the statutory limit expired against the Hammonds, that
      Oregon decided to re-file charges against the Hammonds’, and add 17 additional counts.
      [The original local attorney, Tim Halahan, had refused to prosecute the Hammonds’ for the 2001
      and 2006 brush fires, moving the case into automatic dismissal after a certain period of time].

      For anyone who kept track of all Oregon Live’s newspaper reporting of Malheur’s occupation, it was
      blatantly obvious this memo HAD BEEN CIRCULATED, as posters (firefighters, BLM employees),
      constantly called the Hammond’s and anyone who supported them: al-queda terrorists.

      It is certainly credible, that this Memo is where BLM, Malheur, and the corrupt judicial officials in
      Harney County got the idea to prosecute and sentence the Hammond’s under terrorism statutes.

    That great “palestinian” return:To where?
    Where are they returning to?
    Israel?There never was a “palestine”.

    Israel,on the other hand, exists as a result of the fulfillment of official Biblical prophecy given by the Actual God[of Moses..}… which of course muslims just don’t get since they have their islamic god allah the best of deceivers to misguide them.
    The land of Israel was ALWAYS going to be used for the re-establishment of Israel.There was no “palestine” to be re-established,only Israel.

    Religious Jews and Christians understand that.There is an Israel but no “palestine” and there is only ONE Jeruslaem,the logical capital of Israel.
    Joel 3

    What ridiculous nonsense is this Great Palestinian return!
    To a “palestine” that never existed?

    I mean,the “palestinians” may just as well have a return march… to Narnia,Atlantis or Gilligan’s Island or any other fantasy land.

      There are many “Palestinians” in Jordan kept there in limbo without citizenship Jordan could absorb them and give the! Citizenship. But they dont. They are used as pawns by all the groups that hate isreal. And you notice NO OnE ever complains about how JoRDAN treats the “Palestinians”. Wtf.

      • gravenimage says

        Aug 2, 2018 at 7:20 pm

        Very true, Garfield. And it is not just Jordan–this is also true in Kuwait and other places. It is part of the strategy to keep “Palestinians” permanent “refugees”.

    Hindu-Australia, Akshay Venkatesh, wins the prestigious FIELD MEDAL in mathematics.. A proud day for Hindus as well as Australians. I just brought this out to show JW readers the SICKENING contrast between Hindus and some very peaceful people who bring nothing but hatred and destruction to the Greater West..

      Just also want to add that Hindu Canadian Manjul Bhargava, another genius child prodigy like Akshay Venkatesh won the same medal in 2014 and made Canada proud.

    I don’t think it would be a good idea to vacation in Gaza when Israel loses its patience. There can be no doubt that Israel is working out a viable solution.
    Aren’t the Palestinians afraid that Israel, with its control over the weather (remember Iran’s claim that Israel was stealing its rain clouds? or Egypt’s claim that the Mossad had trained sharks to attack their tourist resorts?), might just reverse the prevailing winds? How can they fight such power????

    • Peace says

      Aug 2, 2018 at 12:49 am

      Who in their right mind would vacation in Gaza

      • PRCS says

        Aug 2, 2018 at 1:54 am

        “Refugees” living in the West.

        Oh, wait–you said in their right mind.

    Some of these fires are raising havoc on the wheat fields in Israel. The irony is that much of this wheat is provided to the families of Gaza. So the Hamas ecoterrorist is actually destroying their own food supply.

    In the main stream media in New Zealand, situations like this get reported as x amount of Palestinians have been shot, & houses, & schools have been bombed by Israelis ….

    Hamas is being held hostage by Western finance being withdrawn ….

    Its disgusting, no-one believes it’s about Israelie defence ..

    • Garfield says

    Not only are the fakestinians sending over fire kites, they have also started using live falcons that they attach incendiaries to and send them air borne. the poor bird catches fire and crashes into Israeli fields…I’ve heard they also use donkeys and horses with explosives strapped on, remote controlled detonators and chase them across the borders…The IDF doesn’t shoot these animals and so the gazan b%%tards blow them up if any Israeli goes to help the horse/donkey…What the hell are people doing in the West, supporting people with a mindset like that…

    • Garfield says

      Aug 2, 2018 at 7:02 pm

      That is evil. I think the palestinians, hamas and Iran funded terror are going to get dealt with. Hopefully the people of Iran will rise up and get rid of the mullahs. They fund Hezbollah and the Houthis in Yemen, too.
      Isreals recent vote to officially be a Jewish state probably means they are getting fed up…weird how that vote was barely in the news!
      Anyway, when Iran gets fixed I think that will help get rid of the Nazi fire kite bull$hit.

      Muslim cruelty to animals is always appalling.
