Iran strengthens ties with Hamas, ex-Foreign Minister says “liberation of Palestine” among greatest causes of Iran

Jul 23, 2019 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The Chairman of Iran’s Strategic Council on Foreign Relations, Kamal Kharrazi said “that liberation of Palestine, especially the noble Quds, is among the greatest causes of Iran.” This is in part because, he said, “Policies of the enemies of Islam and Palestine in supporting occupant Israel are obvious.” During a meeting with Saleh al-Arouri of Hamas, Kharrazi also said that “Iran has supported Palestine since the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979.” For his part, Arouri, “who was accompanied by a delegation to Tehran, praised Iran’s position in supporting the Palestinian issue.”

The very existence of a Jewish state of Israel “threatens the very raison d’être of Islam,” and for this reason, Muslims sought to obliterate it from the day of its birth. Prior to that, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Mohammed Amin al-Husseini, who fomented the Arab revolt of 1936, lived in Berlin during World War II and worked with Hitler to attempt to wipe out Jews. Quranic texts are explicit on how Muslims view Jews and are taught to treat them.

“Iran-Hamas relations growing: Kharrazi,” Tehran Times, July 21, 2019:

TEHRAN – Kamal Kharrazi, chairman of Iran’s Strategic Council on Foreign Relations, said on Sunday that liberation of Palestine, especially the noble Quds, is among the greatest causes of Iran.

During a meeting with Saleh al-Arouri, the deputy leader of Hamas, Kharrazi said that Iran has supported Palestine since the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979.

For his part, Arouri, who was accompanied by a delegation to Tehran, praised Iran’s position in supporting the Palestinian issue.

Talking to reporters after the meeting, Kharrazi said relations between Iran and Hamas are growing.

“Policies of the enemies of Islam and Palestine in supporting occupant Israel are obvious. The Palestinians are aware of these policies and have come to the conclusion that they should stand against the foreigners’ plots,” stated Kharrazi, who was Iran’s foreign minister from 1997-2005.

Pointing to the U.S. proposed “deal of the century”, he said that the Palestinian people countered the plot and all the Muslims condemned it.

Under the deal of the century, U.S. President Donald Trump has proposed to limit Palestine’s land to around half of the West Bank.

The International Quds Day, which falls on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan, was marked on May 31. This year’s demonstrations revolved around the slogan of “The International Quds Day, failure of deal of the century and stabilization of the Palestine cause”….

    A bit odd, on the surface of the matter, that Iran, with already a land bridge from its Shia centrality across Iraq and into Syria and Lebanon — via Hezbollah — would even bother with Israel and “palestine” ….except to be seen as the heroic victor of Islam instead of the Sunni / Wahhabi Saudis — a rival who couldn’t “get it done”….?

    First , it needs to be made clear that the “mullah regime” of Iran started Hamas as one of its tools to destroy the Jewish State of Israel and replace her with an Islamic “state.” after that aggressive Islamic tyranny of Iran it supported and now it further continues to support that Hamas as its Muslim terror organization further achieve it’s anti- Israel and Jewish agenda

    Second, the Muslim members who make up Hamas ,in their blind and unquestioning Islamic zeal ,are as committed to their Islamic goal by the jihad as they are deluded . For they don’t see or understand they they are being used ad stooges by the ayatollahs and mullahs and others in awful and total power in Iran who are so weak and cowardly that they would never ,ever ,go out and commit a jihad suicide/homicide attacks themselves . Therefore they use those deluded fools of Hamas ,as their useful idiots and tools to engage in murderous jihad violence for them .

    Third,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 as well as 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.”

    Hamas sympathizer, US Rep. Ilhan Omar meets resistance in her district:
    —————————

    On June 17th, the St. Louis Park City Council voted 5-0 to get rid of the Pledge of Allegiance. On July 15th, just as the abolition was set to take effect, the Council voted 7-0 in a room crowded with American flags and red, white and blue signs, to bring the Pledge back. Outside a giant inflatable bald eagle kept watch.

    It was an unlikely victory for patriotism in an implausible place.

    St. Louis Park is a small Democrat city in Minnesota. Hillary Clinton beat Trump here 3-1. Rep. Ilhan Omar represents it in the House. The firm at the center of her tax and marriage scandal is based here.

    It’s actually no surprise that the hostile and aggressive Islamic rough state of Iran would further strengthen its support for Hamas, For Iran and its stooge jihad terror group ,Hamas which are both fated to fail in their Islamic agenda of destroying the State of Israel and replacing with Islamic “state.” The reason that they will lose in the end and lose hard is because the members of that jihad terror entity are striving against the Will of God. The members who make up Hamas might be too ignorant to know this; nevertheless, the truth is the God had given all land that now composes the State of Israel, including all of the West Bank, to the Jewish people. This may be found in the Bible, as seen in, for example, Genesis 28:13-15. 35:10-12. Deuteronomy 32:48,49. Psalm 105:7-11. 135:4. In other words the Jews have all this land by Divine Right. Furthermore, the Jewish people should have this land by historic rights as shown in First Kings 4:20,21, 24,25. 8:55, 56.

    Still, in all fairness, there is one way for those who head that “mullah regime “ of Iran along with Muslim members who make up Hamas. to convince God to change His Mind about being so much for Israel and then cause Him to turn His back on Israel and then have that nation be no more. That way is for the ayatollahs and mullahs of Iran along with members of Hamas to gather together and then change the laws of astrophysics, including those laws of astrophysics the control the sun, the moon and the stars. For God had declared in His Word, the Bible, in Jeremiah 31:35,36. “Thus saith the Lord, Who gives the sun for a light by day and the ordinances of the moon and stars for a light by night…The Lord of host is His name. If those ordinances depart from before Me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before Me forever.”

    Shia Iran supporting sunni Hamas – the only thing they hate more than other islamic sects is infidels, especially Jews…

      Yes–all of these Muslims agree on destroying Israel and murdering Jews.

    There may be more to this rhetoric than the usual “free Palestine” and “erase Israel” stuff we get on a regular basis.

    One of the grand arguments that sets various Islamic countries off on a rant, is “Who is the real keeper of the Holy Places?” These holy places would be: Mecca, Medina, and Jerusalem, in that order.

    The Turks, the Persians, and the Arabs (KSA in particular) all desire to have that distinction. Currently, the KSA has all but Jerusalem. The Ottomans ruled all 3. The Persians have held Jerusalem but I cannot find any info on them ruling Mecca and Medina. Various Arab dynasties have run the area over the centuries, but the Saudi’s got control of the Hejaz (where M&M are) after WWI and the Turks were defeated.

    There is no love for each other between these three groups. Now, if we are lucky, they will soon start going after each other to see who gets to be in control. However, this is where the US and Europe need to be careful. The last thing on earth we need to do is get in between that three way love fest when things start flying in the air. I am sure that at least one of those groups will suddenly desire to be the USA’s BFF when that little party starts.

    And telling us that wiping out Israel is just “resistance”…

    Iran strengthens ties with Hamas, ex-Foreign Minister says “liberation of Palestine” among greatest causes of Iran
    …………………….

    Actually, Iran was a huge supporter of Hamas until just a few years ago, when they had a falling out over the “Arab Spring”–the ugly Sunni/Shia split raised its ugly head. Now I guess they realize that murdering Jews is more important than any little tiff they might have had. God, I hate Islam.
