What a way to start Ramadan: over 600 rockets have been fired at Israeli citizens from Gaza, racking up the death toll.
“Ramadan is the month of Jihad, the month when Muslims strive to please Allah more fervently.”
“The death toll continues to rise …on both sides of the Israel-Gaza border in one of the most intense flare-ups of violence in the region in years.” It is important to finally have an American President who fully understands the Islamic jihad against the Jewish state of Israel–a jihad war that began in 1948 and it has continued ever since.
President Trump tweeted out:
“Once again, Israel faces a barrage of deadly rocket attacks by terrorist groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad. We support Israel 100% in its defense of its citizens… To the Gazan people — these terrorist acts against Israel will bring you nothing but more misery. END the violence and work towards peace – it can happen!”
In the course of Israel’s retaliatory attacks there will inevitably be higher numbers of casualties on the Palestinian side–given the sophistication of the Israeli military–of which the Palestinian leadership will use as a propaganda tool against Israel. Each time, violent attacks come from the Palestinian side, are then met with retaliatory maneuvers and each time, Israel is wrongly accused of being the aggressor. It is now a commonplace phenomenon.
It is a macabre routine for pictures of injured and even dead Palestinian children to be paraded in the media precisely to raise vexation against Israel. Yet there is no compassion on the part of the Palestinian leadership (and Hamas) toward the injured and lost lives. Palestinian women and children are routinely used as human shields, while weapons are often stored in hospitals, civilian homes, mosques and schools with the obscene intention of escalating the death toll in the war of propaganda.
“More than 600 rockets fired at Israel from Gaza in less than 24 hours, death toll rises”, by Talia Kaplan, Fox News, May 6, 2019:
The death toll continues to rise Sunday on both sides of the Israel-Gaza border in one of the most intense flare-ups of violence in the region in years, shattering a month-long lull in attacks.
Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip fired more than 600 rockets into southern Israel in less than 24 hours, killing at least four Israelis and leaving several more in critical condition.
Israel has retaliated with dozens of airstrikes against militant sites in Gaza. More than a dozen Palestinians, including a pregnant woman and her 14-month old niece, have also been killed.
According to Haaretz, four Israeli men and 16 Palestinians were killed so far since tensions increased along the border on Friday. Four Israelis were also wounded as rockets fell on the Israeli south on Saturday.
President Trump reacted Sunday night on Twitter: “Once again, Israel faces a barrage of deadly rocket attacks by terrorist groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad. We support Israel 100% in its defense of its citizens… To the Gazan people — these terrorist acts against Israel will bring you nothing but more misery. END the violence and work towards peace – it can happen!”
On Sunday, the Israeli military said a misfired Palestinian rocket — not an Israeli airstrike — caused the death of a pregnant Palestinian woman and her infant niece in the Gaza Strip, disputing the Gaza Health Ministry’s statement that Israel is to blame.
According to the Israeli military, Israeli forces struck dozens of targets in Gaza, including militant sites that were concealed in residential areas. Israeli military spokesman Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus said Israel’s strikes hit a variety of “high-quality” militant sites, including commanders’ homes in which militant activity was observed.
Israeli medical officials said an early morning rocket from Gaza Sunday killed an Israeli father of four, 58-year-old Moshe Agadi, outside a home in the coastal city of Ashkelon.
Agadi reportedly died of his injuries after he was struck by shrapnel, marking the first Israeli casualty from rocket fire since the 2014 war with Hamas militants…..
CRUSADER says
Looks like this Ramadan is going to be a real blast!
‘Tis the season….
By the way, it is always good grammar to use quotations around “palestinians”
— you know, to keep them contained.
mortimer says
To expose the fraud of ‘Palestinians’ being a separate ethnicity from ‘Syrian’ or ‘Jordanian’.
FYI says
More quotation marks are necessary..
The religion of “peace”,the “prophet” muhammed,the “holy” koran…….sharia “law”,”al ilah”,”zakir” naik….
Clive Delmonte says
This whole saga is a sad repeat of similar, previous “palestinian” aggression. What is different this time is that incoming funding from the US and Arab countries is falling. How can the “palestinians” be short of money for their welfare if they can afford to launch some 600 missiles into Israel (hoping to kill ordinary people)?

“END the violence and work towards peace – it can happen!” -Trump
Good intentions on these western peace brokers but unfortunately Hamas is control of Gaza and Islamic clergy supports things that align with Hamas program. Trump, you need to support good old regime chance in Palestinian territories to gain access to their propaganda channels, to free people from tyranny of both Hamas, PA and their underlying theological scheme. You can do it. Make the deal. But of course it would need another military intervention and something deeper than just “freedom” and “democracy”, because you WILL GET another baby ISIS. Mercy is good thing to start, and I don’t mean intellectual mercy.
mortimer says
With top Islamic clerics calling openly for blood, revenge and attacks on civilians, and without any recognition of the legality of Israel under international law … under the League of Nations and the UN ,,, there is zero % chance of peace with the belligerent pseudo-Pally-Jordanians. Their ultimate goal is to re-unite all of Israel’s territory with Jordan under the name ‘Jordan’. At that stage, the word Palestine wouldn’t be needed anymore.
Buraq says
END the violence and work towards peace – it can happen!” (President Trump)
Fine sentiments simply expressed. BUT, Islamic dogma teaches that all Jews must be killed. So, no peace, as far as Islam and Hamas are concerned.
Frank Anderson says
I REALLY like DJT. It does not take perfection for me to appreciate the good in people. He is simply uninformed and completely delusional here that any peace will be sincere or last any real time. Islam will not change. It’s teachings cannot be reformed. From the earliest accounts (from the Perfect Man and Perfect Example himself) a deal with muslims is a deal to commit suicide.
mortimer says
Well said, dear Anderson. Indeed, the perfect is the enemy of the good. There is NO perfect political candidate nor a perfect person. DJT strives to be a good person, but he has small patience for fools or for those who criticize him unjustly. He truly believes that his presidency is a ‘vocation’ which brings profits him nothing, but which he has pursued with a religious fervor in the service of people, but Americans first.
The greatest thing DJT has said (imho) is : “I THINK ISLAM HATES US”.
Indeed, Islam has a MOTIVATIONAL teaching of hatred directed by Muslims towards all kafirs called ‘AL WALAA WAL BARAA’ (adherence and disavowal). This hate-filled MOTIVATION of all Muslims is obligatory rather than an aberration.
Anyone who does not MASTER THE TEACHING of AL WALAA WAL BARAA cannot say he/she understands Islam.

Mosques and islamic centers are beefing up security (fearing “backlashes” and reprisals, no doubt) in preparation for the islamic holiday of ramadan, in which muslims come together with one another, worldwide, to express their devotion to their bloodthirsty god and prophet, through endless conquest; islamic jihad and its cousin the hijra; with acts of death & destruction, slaughter and mayhem: bombings, stabbings, shootings, rape, gang rapes, torture, arson, embezzlement, fraud, misogyny, female genital mutilation, amputations, beheadings, slavery and sex slavery, bigotry, religious supremacy, victimhood subterfuge; repeating itself every year (sometimes without cessation)all in a in a continually menacing display to the rest of humanity and the civilized world; reminding us all -in spite of our achievements and accomplishments- just how regressive, savage, cruel, primitive, and disgusting humans are capable of becoming when forced to live (punishable by death for leaving) under the oppressive yoke of the most tyrannical, oppressive, brutal ideology ever conceived of by humans, called islam: a extremely aggressive religious and political ideology capable of spreading like a disease; one that really should be cast out and relegated to the most isolated parts of the world for sado-masochists to spend their final days practicing on each other until it blows away on the wind and disappears forever, like an awful nightmare fades into the dying night.
Yet another ramadan is upon us, reminding us that it seems we just haven’t had enough of the bountiful gifts this religion has to offer, and continues to present to the rest of us.
Go figure.
mortimer says
Dear Mummy, I have figured. It is ‘psychological projection’, attributing to others one’s own character flaws. Muslims fear retaliation because their first thought is RETALIATION if something happens to Muslims.
Muslims do not know (and do not wish to learn) that Christians DO NOT HAVE a doctrine of RETALIATION, but the reverse “Pray for your enemies and do good to those that hate you … God will repay”.
We should tell that to Muslims repeatedly. The Leftist narratives ENCOURAGE the paranoia of Muslims against European and American Christians.
Leftards hate Christians more than hate Muslims (and they actually hate both, but conceal their hatred of Islam.)
mummymovie says
Yes, if only the Christian doctrine of Forgiveness would ever hold a candle to the book believed by advocates of the Religion of Peace to be the word of God, himself; a candle to the book that commands them to commit such wicked acts in his name… That would be something, indeed.
Whether it is just the death penalty for apostasy, or the whole islamic masterpiece of intimidation, deception and fear-based motivation, islam seems to have found a perfect formula in planting the seed of fear to make its followers feel isolated and terrified; bringing out the worst in them in that fear and isolation, and encouraging them to sacrifice each other to save their own necks in that environment of pervasive fear and germinating it; thriving on it and blossoming, and ultimately spreading like wildfire.
What the West needs to do -rather than playing into that cycle of fear to appease the loud and oppressive muslim voices that want to keep this system in place- is protect and assist muslims in safely leaving islam if they wish to do so, and they will begin abandoning it in droves.
The whole system could potentially begin to unravel, and make the importation of muslims into our countries a good thing, rather than the Trojan horse for the spread of evil it has thus far been.
Wouldn’t THAT be something?
mummymovie says
Did I forget public stonings and acid attacks?
Keys says
You did, mummymovie. There are too many unspeakable horrors to remember them all – poisoning, eye gouging, …… and never forget crucifixion.
Probably could add living mummification too.
mummymovie says
I fear with the scent of blood running thick in the water right now, ramadan will just kind of spill out into the remainder of the year, and keep going.
Worldwide, muslims truly believe -and understandably, the way things look right now with the refugee resettlement industry, migrant invasions/hijra- that they are soon going to take over everything.
They’re going for world domination at this point, so don’t expect the spirit of ramadan to let up when it’s over.
strats4ever says
Every time I read stories on this subject and some ‘tard starts sprouting their apartheid/poor Palestinians BS, I ask them which other country on the globe would allow the elected government of their neighbor to shell them with impunity?’
Imagine Mexico shelling the US or Ukraine shelling Russia. I’m sure the response would be totally restrained.

Wherever there are Muslims, all kuffar should be on high alert this Ramadan.

A very fine article by CWD which focusses on the most important information for Western people:
“Ramadan is the month of Jihad, the month when Muslims strive to please Allah more fervently.”
Ramadan has been called “THE MONTH OF JIHAD AND VICTORIES and MARTYRDOM”.
The former Mufti of Egypt, Ali Goma said, “Throughout the history of] Islamic civilization, RAMADAN has been not only a month of worship and of growing close to Allah the Almighty, but also a month of ACTION and JIHAD aimed at spreading this great religion. When the soul grows stronger and the spirit soars, it inevitably affects the body, which [also] grows stronger – for the body is the mirror of the soul. That is why, throughout [Muslim] history, Ramadan has been a month of great conquests, which were an important factor in spreading Islam, with its righteousness and tolerance, across the world. Ramadan saw [many] events that were milestones in the history of Islamic civilization.
In Muslim tradition, RAMADAN is also perceived as a month of JIHAD and MARTYRDOM, a month in which Allah grants military VICTORIES to His believers. It was during Ramadan that Muslims TRIUMPHED in many of their BATTLES, among them the BATTLE of Badr in 624 between supporters of Muhammad and a merchant caravan of the Quraysh tribe; the CONQUEST of Mecca in 630 and of Andalusia in 711; the BATTLE of Al-Zallaqa in 1086, in which Spanish Muslims defeated the Castilians near the city of Badajoz on today’s Portuguese border, and the 1973 War (called The Ramadan War).
-The commandment of JIHAD, which is of SUPREME importance at all times, assumes even GREATER IMPORTANCE during this holy month and GAINS PRECEDENCE over all other commandments.
-Those who gain martyrdom during the month of Ramadan are DOUBLY REWARDED in Paradise.
-During Ramadan, the Muslims are especially beholden to protect the sanctity of the Muslim holy places and keep the infidels from “desecrating” or threatening them.
JIHAD TERROR during RAMADAN … authorized by Islam’s TOP authority … NORMATIVE ISLAM rather than an aberration.
mortimer says
In 2017, the Taliban complained about “ignorance of religion” when the United Nations called for an end to hostilities during Ramadan. Citing the very specific multiplier for jihadic virtue laid out in Islamic texts, they said: “Our fight is jihad and an obligatory worship, and every obligatory act of worship has 70 times more reward in Ramadan.”

Since Hamas won a surprise victory in the Palestinian elections of 2006, the situation in Gaza has gone from bad to worse.
Israel needs to reoccupy Gaza – by force – and put an end to this nonsense.
The 1993 Oslo Accords have been an abject failure.
LR says
Yes, many people think the same thing. Should have kept Gaza.
keith says
If the US or any other country launched 600 missiles into another country this would be an act of war. The Israelis are showing remarkable restraint. The terrorists on the other hand hide behind women and children, gutless bastards!
