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

Muslim Terrorists Plotted Beach Attack in Israel

May 14, 2019 10:00 am By Daniel Greenfield

To stop an Islamic terror attack, you need some kind of control over the area. Once Israel surrendered control over the terrorist occupied territories, that became very difficult.

This is one of those unusual incidents in which the perpetrators were based in Jerusalem.

Indictments have been filed against three residents from east Jerusalem who planned to carry out a terrorist attack on behalf of Hamas, The Jerusalem District Prosecutor’s Office said on Sunday, ynet reported.

The office has filed indictments against the three suspects, who initially conspired to carry out a shooting attack on behalf of Hamas on the Tel Aviv beach, however, after discussing their plans, thought it would be better to carry out the attacks in and around Jerusalem, including at Damascus Gate.

A Damascus Gate attack would have fit the profile more and would have spread terror.

An interesting angle though is that their Hamas handler wasn’t in Gaza, but in Turkey.

According to the Prosecutor’s Office, they were imprisoned in 2017, but released earlier this year, following which two of the suspects were in contact with a Hamas operative in Istanbul and suggested they carry out an assassination of top figures, naming former Likud MK Yehudah Glick, ex-police chief Roni Alsheich and former Jerusalem mayor Nir Barkat.

Turkey is run by Erdogan and his AKP Islamist allies who like Hamas quite a lot. But Hamas plotting attacks against Israeli officials from Istanbul is pushing the limit.

There’s no practical reason for this operation to have been handled from Turkey except that moving command functions to a NATO country would protect Hamas from retaliation.

    Remember that RAMADAN is the month of JIHAD, MARTYRDOM and VICTORIES. Be extra vigilant.

    Those poor brainwashed Muslims who are thoroughly mind programmed by the mullahs and imams to the extent that they can’t even think for themselves .Furthermore, those .Islamic terror entities and Hamas Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad have with their jihadist scheming along with the PA and Abbas with their intention of destroying the State of Israel and replacing her with some kind of Islamic “state” is an Islamic agenda that is fated to fail in the end.

    For all of such Muslim schemes and effort will come nothing in the end. The reason is that all their plots and striving against the State of Israel are all lose in the end .This is because Abbas is greatly overruled by the God of the Bible. Who is the Supreme and Ultimate supporter of Israel. As reflected in the following verses of the Bible. “A man’s heart may be full of schemes, but the Lord‘s purpose will prevail.” Proverbs 19:21. [N.E.B.] Also, Psalm 135:4. This informs the reader that “The Lord has chosen Jacob to be His own and Israel His special treasure.”

      Walter Sieruk says:

      “Those poor brainwashed Muslims who are thoroughly mind programmed by the mullahs and imams to the extent that they can’t even think for themselves.”

      Absolutely true – and painfully sad. It is one of the cruelest forms of mental abuse that anyone can impose upon another human being. The end result being that the brainwashed Muslim cannot think independently.

      The ability to de-programming brainwashed Muslims on a mass scale is highly unlikely. Consider the fact it’s nearly impossible to get through to the hardened leftist Marxists…
