“Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties, for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.” (Qur’an 9:111)
“Palestinian Activist Yaser Mazhar Calls on Palestinians to Carry out Suicide Bombings in Israel: We Long for Bus Bombings,” MEMRI, March 5, 2020:
Yaser Mazhar, the Director of the Communications Department of the Muhjat Al-Quds Foundation, was interviewed on Al-Quds Al-Youm TV (Islamic Jihad – Gaza), which is headquartered in Lebanon. Mazhar and the show host, Majed Al-Babili, discussed the 1996 suicide bombing at Dizengoff Center in Tel Aviv that killed 13 people and injured 130 others. Saying that the Islamic Jihad had carried out the operation, they praised the terrorist and terrorists who have carried out similar attacks, and Mazhar said that martyrdom operations bring a lot of joy to the Palestinian people. He recalled how Palestinians have handed out sweets throughout their provinces in celebration of terrorist attacks, and he called on Palestinians in the West Bank to carry out terrorist attacks in Israel. Al-Majli added: “What was taken by force can only be taken back by force.” The Muhjat Al-Quds Foundation offers aid to the families of Palestinian terrorists who were killed or who are imprisoned.
TV Host Majid Al-Babili: “When we discuss an operation like the [1996] Dizengoff Street [suicide bombing in Tel Aviv]… This is a notorious street as far as the Zionists are concerned, because many heroic operations were carried out on that street – stabbings, bombings, shootings, and other operations… This Islamic Jihad operation, which was carried out there by Ramez Abid, was one of the most brutal operations that were carried out against the sons of the apes and pigs [i.e. the Jews]. Thirteen Zionist soldiers were killed in this operation. Let’s discuss the virtues of the martyr Ramez Abid, to whom you were close.”
[…]
Yaser Mazhar: “The martyr Ramez Abid arrived in the Tel Aviv area and went to the site of the operation – to the café or dance hall on Dizengoff Street. He did not enter the site of the attack, because the Israeli security guards that were there were suspicious of him. However, he blew himself up at the entrance to the Dizengoff [Mall]. This explosion killed 13 Zionist soldiers and injured over 130 settlers who were in the area.”
[…]
TV Host Majid Al-Babili: “Let’s discuss the impact such martyrdom operations have had on the Palestinians. What was the impact of such Jihadi, high-profile, heroic, and exceptional operations? We talked about it before the show. When we were kids, such operations would fill our hearts with joy. The Palestinian people have gotten used to operations of this kind and have been longing for them. What is the psychological impact these operations have on the Palestinian people?”
Yaser Mazhar: “These operations for sure would bring joy to every Palestinian home, to every young Palestinian, to every Palestinian woman, and to every person who had been tortured by the Zionist enemy. They would bring joy to the prisoners in the jails of the occupation. They would bring joy into the homes of the oppressed and to the families of the martyrs. Every time an operation was carried out, the Palestinians would hand out sweets.
“For example, I remember that after the operations carried out by Khaled Al-Khatib the hero, by Hesham Muhammad, by Ramez Abid, and by every martyr, sweets were handed out everywhere, in all the provinces. This was done because of the great joy that these operations brought to the hearts of the Palestinian people. We are a nation that is united behind the Palestinian resistance. This isn’t new. This has been the case since the occupation of Palestine, and there is unity behind the Palestinian resistance. The national movement sacrificed hundreds of thousands of martyrs in the defense of Palestine and the Palestinian soil. As for operations of this sort today, we are longing for the bombings of buses, and martyrdom operations inside the Zionist entity. Through your honorable TV channel, we call upon our brothers in the West Bank to bring back the past glory and carry out martyrdom operations inside the Zionist entity.”
TV Host Majid Al-Babili: “And Ramez Abid’s operation is an example that should be imitated when it comes to Jihad, to resistance, and to sacrifice. What was taken by force can only be taken back by force.”
Michael Copeland says
Will he show them how it is done?
mortimer says
Yes, Yaser Mazhar is all talk, no action.
When Yaser Mazhar says ‘we’ are longing, he means that he personally will not kill himself for Islam.
Yaser Mazhar doesn’t have enough faith in Islam to suicide-bomb.
Spiro says
Your right he should lead by example
Westman says
Both Mazhar and Al-Bibili are hoping some stupid or mental-case dolt will hear their words and sacrifice himself(not them). Islam is ready-made for the manipulation of the dense by the cunning. Whether by Muhammad or Muslim clerics it’s always the same puppeteering in the name of Allah.
mortimer says
Yaser Mazhar is not an uninformed nobody … he is paid to know what he is saying … he is the Director of the Communications Department of the Muhjat Al-Quds Foundation.
He refers to the Muslim-Arab equivalent of the Western ‘toast’ … namely, handing out candies. Pallies ‘toast’ the killers of Jewish civilians. No Israeli or Western army would ‘toast’ the destruction of Arab civilians.
Such appalling, foaming hatred! It is a ghoulish love of death. With ghoulishness like that, do Muslims wonder why their religion is not respected?
When will the delusional Jewish-American Leftards figure out that Islam is INHERENTLY anti-Semitic?
Why do they dismiss haters like Yaser Mazhar as if he is unrepresentative?
Rarely says
Ah yes. “delusional Jewish-American Leftards” — a small percentage of a group that is a very small percentage of the American population. Their effect on policies in the U.S. is minor. What about the “delusional Christian-American Leftards” who are a significant percentage of the vast majority of the American population?
Of course all Jews should be aware of Islam’s inherent anti-Semitism. They should also be aware of the inherent anti-Semitism of the far right and the latent anti-Semitism of much of the middle group. Jews don’t have easy, black and white decisions to make although I certainly agree that the muslim position is pretty clear.
gravenimage says
Yes–it is *hardly* just Jews who are clueless about the savagery of Islam.
carpediadem says
But those who criticise them deliberately ignore the Christian delusional leftards because then they would have to criticise THEIR own affiliations and face the truly great betrayal by THEIR people of Western civilisation.
As Islam and Christianity and leftism do, it’s easier to blame the Jews for everything than take responsibility to defend your own culture.
Frank Anderson says
Rarely, I wish you were correct. From my more than 20 years among the local Jewish community, any mention of the true intentions of islam was cause for banishment. The subject was forbidden. One of the most wonderful living Rabbis exploded in anger when challenged. “There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.” I miss them and wish them well. So much for the teaching “Ask EVERY question repeatedly, for no answer is perfect or complete in this life.”
mortimer says
Frank Anderson cites examples of what is my bug-boo: otherwise intelligent people whose minds are shut, whose virtue-signalling is non-stop, and whose hubris is puffed up through an unshakable belief in their own infallibility. (This includes members of my family, btw.)
Disagree with ‘Rarely’. My more conservative Jewish friends have assured me that Leftism is prevalent and not a minority position among secular Jews. I support organizations that fight anti-Semitism and wherever anti-Semitism appears I am the first to denounce it. I denounce *unexamined*, and *presumptuous* Leftism.
Frank Anderson says
Mortimer, I think it is clear that I love what I learned while present in the Jewish community. One of my “mothers by choice”, who died 3 weeks after my surgery, was Jewish. I wish well for all Jews, even the really dumb ones. Jews can not only teach a lot, they still are capable of learning if they will.
Remember according to the story about Mt. Sinai that half of the people who left Egypt refused to follow Moses instructions while he climbed the mountain. Later on, I think more than once, Israel was divided because of those who refused and those who obeyed. Half of Germany’s Jews got the message and at least tried to escape, while the other half did not and paid. It is in God’s Hands, the best Hands of All.
FYI says
“It is in God’s hands ,the best hands of all”
Well,thank goodness it isn’t in allah’s …TWO RIGHT HANDS.
{Sahih muslim 1827}
“Those who are fair and just will be near to allah on thrones of light at the Right hand of the most merciful,glorified and exalted is he,and BOTH OF hIS HANDS ARE RIGHT HANDS…”
Frank Anderson says
FYI, the real question is whether “right” means “correct” or literally right? We will never know. There are many confused people who are incapable of critical analysis and thought. I do not think you and I are among them.
Rarely says
Frank Anderson.
I think you are missing my point. While approximately 1.8% of the U.S. population is Jewish, the vast majority of the balance is Christian. Certainly any Jewish person who does not see the inherent danger of islam is being foolish (and perhaps even foolhardy) BUT any solution to the problem certainly lies with the remaining 98.2% (mostly Christian) of whom many support a left (not necessarily leftist) position. And yet we rarely read of the “delusional Christian-American Leftards” on this site only the Jewish ones.
Also, Jews face the same vicious anti-Semitism from the far right. It’s very much a “Fiddler on the Roof” situation. Also, there would have been far fewer Jews in Nazi Germany in the latter half of the 1930s IF other countries (the U.S. included) had been willing to take them — all avenues were closed or, at least, severely limited. It’s hardly the Jews fault that they didn’t all get out.
Now back to my question: why harp on that tiny group (probably less than .one-half of 1%) of the US population (i.e. delusional Jewish-American Leftards”) when there are a HUGE number of “delusional Christian-American Leftards”?
Frank Anderson says
Rarely, I think you are as correct as anyone can be. What I call, from Viktor Frankl, “the delusion of reprieve” is universal. I think the reason I have so much concern about Jewish participation in this delusion is that I think in view of the Holocaust, and the 1400 years of open commitment to their destruction in islam, and my extreme love for what I learned from Jews that I wish better for them than they seem to wish for themselves. The Jews I know don’t want to be bothered with the truth. It is amazing and frustrating.
I can only try to solve the problems that I can. Some problems are beyond my ability. I am trying with my comments to “light some candles” by getting even a few others to see why they should be concerned and active instead of remaining silent while destruction approaches.
Rarely says
Hi Frank.
I can understand your viewing current conditions in the context of the Holocaust and the willingness (eagerness?) with which many muslims would like to imitate it. I have known my share of Holocaust survivors (including two who survived the death camps (but for good timing).
I’m sure that your concern is honest. However, the solution to the muslim/Arab aggression today is far from clear although the problem is clear. I am certain that the vast majority of western Jews see that problem especially since it has been such an integral part of Jewish history. Eyes have opened quite wide in the past few years. An exception is Bernie Sanders whose anodes, I suspect, are not talking to his diodes.
If the 300 million plus Americans who are not Jewish do not see the danger to Christians it’s hard to see how the 5-6 million American Jews would make much of a difference. THAT is why I take notice when “delusional Jewish-American Leftards” are constantly criticized and their Christian counterparts are ignored.
Frank Anderson says
Rarely, my entire family by choice is Christian. That helps me understand the difference in what should be expected from Christians and Jews. The Holocaust is something that happened to someone else to Christians. It happened primarily to Jews, but not exclusively.
I have spent my entire “adult” life helping others one way or another to deal with problems. The first step in the process of dealing with any problem is to accept that a problem exists. If there is no problem, there is no need to understand it, define it, try solutions and modify to produce better results. Having attended many, perhaps dozens, of Holocaust events, and seen how integral Holocaust remembrance is to Judaism, the refusal of many Jews to look honestly at islam is beyond my understanding.
I hope (expect?) that Jews, of all people, should be aware of the problem. But, half of Germany’s Jews made little or no effort to escape. GRANTED completely, escape opportunities were few and far between. But, Hitler started talking Jew hatred with his first public speech in 1920. Christians do not have the same up close and personal reason to take notice that Jews should in light of their experience and education. If Jews see the plan, then they could be helpful in getting Christians to see it also.

Dear Mr. Mazhar & Mr. Al-Babili: The Lord Jesus loves you. Mohammad doesn’t. You both have choices to make; I pray you both ‘choose life’. But it won’t be my problem if you don’t.

They prefer to sneak up on and bomb unarmed civilians on buses, in restaurants or attending festivals, etc, etc. Anything else and they end up shot dead.
When the social distancing 6 foot rule prompted by the recent virus goes away the social distancing 60 yard rule prompted by these not so recent psychopaths will still apply.

“Palestinian” activist: “We are longing for bombings of buses, and martyrdom operations inside the Zionist entity”
………………….
Right now, with so many of us on Coronavirus lockdown, most of us are longing for a nice night out with our loved ones and friends, some live music, and being able to hug people we care about.
Not Muslims–what they long for is slaughtering people, especially Jews.
God, I hate Islam.
Val says
I am longing for every Muslim to accept the truth of Muhammad’s behavior. Actions speak louder than words. Muhammad’s behavior speaks louder than all the words he ever spoke. God’s message to humanity is not murder, rape, and robbery. Those fools who follow such a messenger commit blasphemy by slandering God.
Frank Anderson says
From experience and observation, Israel KNOWS how to stop this: Targeted killings of the leaders who promote the suicide bombings. It works. “You can run; but you can’t hide!” “If you run you will just die tired!” “Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time!” “Are you feeling lucky today?” Movies have some great and meaningful lines, don’t they?
Goofy says
He is dying to die! What a religion of hatred.
We Westerners have to be very careful about what we say because it might offend somebody and therefore we might have committed hate speech, but I have never heard of anybody taking offense when a Muslim encourages his fellow believers to kill the infidel to honour Allah.
Muslims are not persecuted but persecute Christians and Jews to the best of their abilities.
No Muzzies Here says
It should be clear now why there will be no peace in “Palestine” now, or any time soon.
OLD GUY says
Another lover of becoming a martyr, what a great way to live praying you can die or be killed so that Allah will reward you with 72 virgins. What about those 72 women who don’t want anything to do with your ugly ass. Oh yea I forgot women are only for muslim mens pleasure. This islamic “religion” is disgusting and dam sure not of love and peace. These people have spent to much time in the desert sun and have fried their brains.
