The Islamic aspects of the Israeli / “Palestinian” conflict are absolutely central for the “Palestinians,” yet routinely ignored by Western diplomats and policymakers. Find out why they’re so important in The Palestinian Delusion.
“Was yesterday’s murder ideological terror, good financial planning or both?,” by Maurice Hirsch, Palestinian Media Watch, October 30, 2022:
On Saturday night, Oct. 30, 2022, Palestinian terrorist Muhammad Kamel Al-Ja’abari murdered 50-year-old Israeli Ronen Hananya and injured 5 others. Now the question is whether this was an ideologically motivated attack or just sound financial planning? Was the attack the result of intensive incitement and calls for terror or was it a product of the Palestinian Authority’s “Pay-for-Slay” policy? Or rather both!
On the one hand, Al-Ja’abari comes from a family of Hamas terrorists. His brother Wael, a member of Hamas, was convicted for murdering 2 Israelis. He was released from prison in October 2011 as part of the deal to secure the release of Israeli solider Gilad Shalit, who had been kidnapped and was held captive by Hamas.
The murder in Hebron last night came at a time of a continuing terror wave, a chain of lethal Palestinian terror attacks that have claimed the lives of 27 Israelis and others since the start of the 2022, alone. It comes at a time when Fatah, the party of Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, is openly calling on its social media pages for “an escalation against the … settler herds”:

Following Al-Ja’abari’s lethal attack, Fatah’s Hebron branch celebrated the land “that has been perfumed by the blood of thousands of Martyrs” and called for a general strike “in honor of all the Martyrs, wounded, and prisoners, and [in honor] of our heroic Martyr Muhammad Kamel Al-Ja’abari”:

A statement by the Fatah Movement – Central Hebron [branch]
Almighty Allah said: ‘And never think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision’ [Quran 3:169, Sahih International translation].
To the masses of our people in Hebron – you who are standing firm, who are carrying out Ribat (i.e., religious conflict over land claimed to be Islamic) on the most pure and sublime land on earth, the land that has been perfumed by the blood of thousands of Martyrs [who died] for the sake of its purification and liberation from the occupation’s defilement – and liberation is coming, Almighty Allah willing.
O our mighty people: Our struggle continues, and the procession of Martyrs stands at the front of the national arena to defend our land, our honor, and our holy sites, in response to the brutal and systematic attack that the occupation government is leading against our people in all the homeland’s districts.
Therefore, we in the Fatah Central Hebron [branch] announce – in honor of the one who carried out the operation (i.e., terror attack) in the thieving settlement of Kiryat Arba in Hebron, heroic Martyr Muhammad Kamel Al-Ja’abari (i.e., terrorist, murdered 1) – we announce as follows:
The general strike is on Sunday, Oct. 30, 2022, and it will include all aspects of life.
Therefore, we demand that you carry out the strike in honor of all the Martyrs, wounded, and prisoners, and [in honor] of our heroic Martyr Muhammad Kamel Al-Ja’abari who inflicted pain on the occupation and killed and wounded those (sic., Al-Ja’abari murdered 1) in its ranks.
Glory and eternity to our pure Martyrs and freedom to our heroic prisoners.
Fatah – Hebron district”
[Facebook page of the Fatah Movement – Central Hebron Branch,
Oct. 30, 2022]While Abbas’ Fatah celebrated the murderer, Abbas’ PA reported how “Muhammad Kamel Al-Ja’abari, 35, was shot by the occupation and died as a Martyr.” The report neglected to mention that Al-Ja’abari was a terrorist and murderer, and that he was killed while carrying out a terror attack:
“The Israeli occupation soldiers and the settlers continued the aggression against our people, its holy sites, and its property yesterday, Saturday, [Oct. 29, 2022]…
A young person died as a Martyr (i.e., terrorist Muhammad Kamel Al-Ja’abari, who murdered 1) and a [Palestinian] paramedic was shot and wounded by the Israeli occupation forces yesterday evening, Saturday, next to the settlement of Kiryat Araba, which crouches on civilians’ lands in eastern Hebron (sic., the Palestinian was wounded in the shootout initiated by Al-Ja’abari).
[PA] security sources said that Muhammad Kamel Al-Ja’abari, 35, was shot by the occupation and died as a Martyr next to the settlement of Kiryat Arba in the east of the city, and noted that the occupation authorities seized his body…
The Fatah Movement’s Central Hebron branch eulogized Martyr Al-Ja’abari and declared a general strike today, Sunday, in the Hebron district in honor of the Martyrs, wounded, and prisoners.”

“Now the question is whether this was an ideologically motivated attack or just sound financial planning?”
Mostly financial planning. The family of Muhammad Kamel Al-Ja’abari will get a nice monthly martyrdom benefits check and he himself will get to design his own mansion and hand select his 66 white sex slaves. Since eternity is a long time he may try to negotiate a better long term deal with Allah, like Muhammad did when he got Allah to reduce the number of required daily prayers for Muslims from 50 to 5. There are no property taxes in Paradise but inflation is rampant due to the recent influx of martyrs.

‘Moderate’ Fatah quotes Qur’an in praising Muslim who murdered Israeli as a ‘martyr’
………………………………….
Disgusting, but unsurprising. Fatah has been like this since it was the PLO.
Walter Sieruk says
In this twenty-first century conflict between the Judeo- Christian West and the Islamic East which also has been termed “The war of Ideas” the West needs ideas for its very foundation and defense that is far superior to something as weak and worthless as just “opinion.”
What the West needs is wisdom. As the Bible instructs “Wisdom is better than strength.” Ecclesiastes 9:16. [N.K.J.V.]
Likewise, this same book of the Bible also teaches in 9:18 “Wisdom is better than weapons of war.” Therefore, wisdom is in strong contrast to opinion. Also greatly opposed to wisdom is folly and deceit. As the Bible in Proverbs 14:8 informs the reader ‘The folly of fools is deceit.”
This deception of deceit may be seen, by all those who are willing to see, in the Islamic doctrine of a virgin filled paradise designed specify for the male Muslim jihadist who dies in the jihad for the cause of Islam, in what they so inappropriately call a “martyrdom operation.” Many a times a jihadist/Muslim is so very deluded that he actually put on his video recording that after he dies in the jihad as a “martyr” he will then in paradise have a “wedding with virgins.”
This firm but blind unquestioning folly is the result of such a man believing in deception of a false doctrine. With Light of the Wisdom of Jesus a belief in a “wedding with virgins.” is the outcome of a person accepting as the “truth” an invalid and false. For Jesus taught “you are mistaken, not knowing the Scripture nor the power of God. For in the resurrection, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angles in heaven.” Matthew 22:29,30.
A jihadist will after dies and such a murderous way will have a very hard and harsh “reality check” In that “his expectation will perish…” Proverb 11:7. For he will then discover that he was deceived by false doctrine and lie of “a paradise with virgins” and to his shock and horror he will find himself trapped and suffering, with no hope of escape, in the fires of hell. As the Bible teaches a murder “will not inherit the kingdom of God,” Galatians 5:21. This is sad and tragic but nevertheless it’s the reality of the truth.
Walter Sieruk says
Any jihadist just after his Islamic suicide /homicide attack right after he died ,to his shock and horror, he found himself trapped and suffering in the fires of an awful place the Bible calls “hell.” Luke 16:19-31. That jihad minded Muslim of ISIS was dangerous to self and others because that he was indoctrinated with and likewise believed in the doctrine found in the Quran, 44:54. 55:56. 78;31.,of a lust –filled sex paradise with many virgins, in in for his use only, because he died as a “martyr” for the cause of Islam.
That jihadist will discover the hard way that he was instructed in and put his faith in a false doctrine that is from a false religious book of false religion. This doctrine of a paradise for the jihadist who died fighting for Islam was only an enticing religious story of fiction. The Bible does give warning against giving “heed to fables…” First Timothy 1:4. [N.K.J.V]
As for dying in a murderous jihad attack, in spite, of the Muslim clerics falsely calling it a “martyrdom operation.” That jihadist after in dies in a jihad murder attack, and learn too late, the truth of Bible with informs its reader that a murderer “will not inherit the Kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:21.
In addition, such false teachers, as those imams and mullahs, who teach and ingrain false yet enticing doctrines as that a lust /sex fill place with virgins into the hearts and minds of others had been predicted in the Bible. For it is written, “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears , they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth and be turned aside to fables.” Second Timothy 3,4.
