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

Muslims from Gaza use incendiary balloons to set 100 fires in Israel in the past week

Jun 30, 2019 10:30 am By Robert Spencer

Turning to the United Nations won’t help. The United Nations is a tool of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and is viciously biased against Israel. Meanwhile, the Trump economic plan to bring peace to Israel and the “Palestinians” has finally been announced, and essentially it consists of giving the “Palestinians” money so that they will turn away from their jihad. This is predicated on the oft-discredited notion that jihad violence is a result of poverty, and it has been tried and has failed before. As I show in my forthcoming book The Palestinian Delusion: The Catastrophic History of the Middle East Peace Process, which will be out later this year and which you can preorder here, the “Palestinian” jihad is not based on poverty or a desire to regain “stolen land”; rather, it stems from deeply held Islamic imperatives that have prevented every negotiated settlement from bringing peace, and which will continue to do so.

“Southern residents to turn to UN to protest incendiary balloons,” by Tzvi Joffre, Jerusalem Post, June 30, 2019:

Residents of Israel’s South have decided to turn to the United Nations concerning the waves of incendiary balloons that have been launched from Gaza toward Israeli communities near the Strip, according to Channel 12.

Heads of regional councils near the Gaza border and residents of communities in the area are looking into the legal options for turning to the UN in order to protest the disruptions and human rights violations carried out by the Hamas terror organization against residents of southern Israel….

Despite a reported agreement between Hamas and Israel, 14 fires were sparked by incendiary balloons on Friday. Another two fires were caused by balloons on Saturday, according to a spokesman for Israel’s Fire and Rescue Services.

A total of about 100 fires were reported in the past week, but no government officials visited the area or discussed the issue with regional council heads in the area, according to Channel 13.

On Friday, some 7,000 Palestinians violently demonstrated along the border, where an IDF jeep caught fire after a Molotov cocktail hit it. There were no reports of Israeli injuries….

As part of the understanding, Hamas is said to have committed to preventing the launch of the aerial incendiary devices and ensuring that the border protests are nonviolent.

      Cut off helium and hydrogen. ban tires also. They love to light them and roll them at things. Let them use steel rims only and drive very slowly.

    During the Vietnam War, when military surveillance drones were being developed, aircraft with nets were used to catch drones. Imagine that abilty used to capture incendiary balloons and then drop them back over Gaza; the weight of the nets causing a rapid descent. How long would it take before the ballons stopped flying?

      Good question! Strange, why they don’t use the latest technology, or drones that could cast nets…??
      Eh, perhaps it’s less expensive, or easy enough, to do it…manually. Must be a reasonable explanation…I hope.

    The day that Hamas makes promise to stop violence and actually stops violence, the shock will be so great that the Sun will rise in the west and set in the east.

    Since the intent of these Gazan’s is not only to destroy property, but also to cause bodily harm, I believe the IDF has the absolute right to use their best snipers to shot to wound those Gazan’s that are participating in this heinous conduct. Would we be denied that right here in America, or an other country in the world? I think not. If a wound becomes mortal, it would still be justified! That seems to be the only way the Israeli’s can defend themselves from these people who would destroy their nation. I believe that they have no other choice available to them as negotiation is never to be in the cards.

    This arson from the jihad-minded Muslims of Gaza is still further proof that even of idea of some people of dividing Jerusalem as well as other parts of the State of Israel between the Jewish people of the Muslim/ Arabs is nothing but folly. To engage the madness of such “talks” is a hoax and a farce .This is because in the so called “negotiations” between the heads of the Jewish nation of Israel and the leaders of the “Palestinians” the Muslim /Arabs the “Palestinian” leaders will speak the truth only when in happens to fit their agenda. The rest of the time the will be speaking half-truths and outright lies. For their goal is to obtain all of the land of the State of Israel ,.Even in it takes much time and it means getting the land piece by piece. So those “peace talks” are a hoax. For the “Palestinian”leaders are employing what is the Islamic doctrine of Taqiyya . Which is the Islamic dogma that lying and deception are good things to do as long as it’s done for the cause of the advancement of Islam. The insidious scheme is part of the stealth jihad .Otherwise known as “Islamic Gradualism.” This sly and something subtle strategy of disingenuous speech, lying deception of achieving the goal of all the land of Israel a war ploy that will be a disaster if the heads of the State of Israel are foolish enough to agree to divide the land of Israel with Muslim /Arabs ,the “Palestinians.” For if such a “peace dialogue” results in a divided land, the outcome will literally be murder. For “Palestinian” leader will allow the jihadists use that land as a base to launch murderous rocked attacks in to Israel. As for example, Hamas of Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Such false hopes for peace which are based on the foundation of lies are nothing new when it comes to Israel . For example, the Bible in Psalm 55:20, 21. Reads “Such men do violence to those at peace with them and break their promised word; their speech is smoother the butter but their thoughts are of war.” [N.E.B.]

    I’m sure the very clever Israelis will be trialling weapons to shoot these balloons down. With some sort of GPS which turns them round so they land in Gaza preferably from where they took off.

    ………………….

    The Jihad against Israel continues apace–as will the condemnation of Jews if Israel moves to defend herself.
