Hamas and Islamic Jihad vow closer cooperation in war of “paralysis of Israel”

Nov 20, 2019 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“Amid the backdrop of tensions between Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza and mutual recriminations, the leaders of the two terrorist organizations are trying to project an image of unity and rapprochement.”

The goal of both organizations is to obliterate the State of Israel and establish an Islamic state in “Palestine.” In this goal, both organizations are united despite the tensions between them. Now that they have agreed to strengthen their partnership, Israel has more reason to defend itself from threats and attack.

“Following IDF airstrikes in Gaza in response to Hamas firing two rockets at Beersheba over the weekend, in an apparent act of solidarity with PIJ, Haniyeh said: ‘This round of fighting is over, but the war is not. Our victory in the latest round wasn’t determined by the number of rockets launched, but by the paralysis of Israel during the escalation.'”

Yet Israel is maligned for its self-defense when number of deaths on the Palestinian side increase. All the while, the so-called Palestinian resistance is notorious for its history of using women and children as human shields in their war of propaganda against Israel.

“Hamas and Islamic Jihad vow to deepen civilian and military cooperation,” by Ariel Kahana and Daniel Siryoti, Israel Hayom, November 18, 2019:

Amid the backdrop of tensions between Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza and mutual recriminations, the leaders of the two terrorist organizations are trying to project an image of unity and rapprochement.

The leader of Hamas’ political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, spoke on the phone with PIJ Secretary-General Ziad al-Nakhalah and agreed with him to “deepen civilian and military cooperation between the two organizations.”

Haniyeh also visited the bereavement tent for relatives of Bahaa Abu al-Atta, the PIJ commander assassinated by Israel in an airstrike in Gaza last week that set of a round of fighting that saw hundreds of rocket fired at Israel from Gaza.

Following IDF airstrikes in Gaza in response to Hamas firing two rockets at Beersheba over the weekend, in an apparent act of solidarity with PIJ, Haniyeh said: “This round of fighting is over, but the war is not. Our victory in the latest round wasn’t determined by the number of rockets launched, but by the paralysis of Israel during the escalation.”

Also on Sunday, PIJ leader Khaled Al-Batsh warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to violate the ceasefire agreement between the sides.

“We caution against any attempt by Netanyahu to maneuver and ignore the ceasefire agreement mediated by Egypt,” he said.

Media outlets in Gaza, meanwhile, reported that during the recent fighting 500 homes were damaged in Israeli airstrikes and 30 were destroyed entirely, and that the direct impact of the strikes on Gaza’s economy amounted to some $3.1 million.

In Jerusalem, Netanyahu met with the families of fallen IDF soldiers Staff Sgt. Oron Shaul and Lt. Hadar Goldin – who were killed in Gaza in 2014 and whose remains are being held by Hamas. The prime minister updated the families about the efforts being made to return them home and recent developments….

    All the while, the so-called Palestinian resistance is notorious for its history of using women and children as human shields in their war of propaganda against Israel.

    The more bodies they have to show for propaganda, the better – as they like to remind us, they love death more than we love life. Which is why Hamas counts its militants as “civilian casualties”…

    What exactly are the political differences b/w Hamas and Islamic Jihad? Or is it just a clash of personalities?

    hamas and ij:The Army of the Abdoooooools…surely they are being “rightly guided” held in the palms of al LAH’s TWO RIGHT HANDS.

    See how al LAH guided his isis to establish their caliphate?Catastrophic failure.

    al LAH{“The BEST of deceivers” k3:54}:I..I mean allah the BEST of deceivers wouldn’t be deceiving his muslims like baal made goliath think he could win a battle against David,a Jewish shepherd boy?

    goliath may appear to be bigger this time but in terms of Biblical Prophecy{for those who actually understand it},if there was to be a rematch,David isn’t on the losing side…

    muslims with their arab god “allah”{or hu Baal}of course don’t get that any more than goliath would have imagined the catastrophe that would befall him.

    YHWH always has the last laugh.And knows the outcome which is explained for those who understand Biblical Prophecy.

    Hamas and Islamic Jihad vow closer cooperation in war of “paralysis of Israel”
    …………………….

    Jihadists can have disagreements to the point of murdering each other, but they all agree on destroying Israel and slaughtering Jews.

    Now that Hamas and Islamic Jihad have vowed closer cooperation to strive together in a jihadist, alliance to destroy Israel in replace her with in Islamic “state.” This alliance will not only be a waste of effort and time but all striving together in the Islamic agenda in a jihadists attempt to only backfire on them in the end to their own harm. For in the Bible, in Proverbs 11:21, it is written, “Though they join forces, the wicked will not go unpunished.” [N.K.J.V.]

    The members of Hamas and Islamic jihad are indeed wicked because God is for Israel. Therefore striving for the Islamic goal for the destruction Israel is striving against the Will of God.

    The Bible informs its reader “For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself. Israel for His special treasure.” Psalm 135:4.
