New in PJ Media:
Why are the Islamic jihad groups fighting against Israel? Why do they think that committing the dismaying actions we saw in Israel on Saturday is the right, and indeed the righteous, thing to do?
As the death toll from Saturday’s jihad massacres in Israel continues to mount, the world looks on in horror at the atrocities that were committed — the wanton massacre of people at a peace concert, the beheaded babies, and so much more. It is hard for Americans and Europeans to fathom how or why any human beings would do such things.
Now, however, two jihad groups, including the one that was behind the massacres, Hamas, and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah, have issued statements that clarify exactly what they think they’re doing. As you might expect, they both make for chilling reading.
The indispensable Palestinian Media Watch reported Monday that “a Telegram channel associated with Fatah’s military wing the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, is calling on Palestinians to slaughter Jews who they term ‘apes and pigs.’” That’s actually a reference to the Islamic holy book, the Qur’an, which, in three separate passages, refers to Allah punishing Sabbath-breaking Jews by transforming them into apes and pigs (2:53-65; 5:59-60; 7:166).
Fatah’s exhortation to jihad also includes this: “Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, and he will lay them low and give you victory over them, and he will heal the hearts of people who are believers.” That also is from the Qur’an (9:14) and expresses one of the biggest differences between Judaism and Christianity on the one hand and Islam on the other. While both the Jewish (Deuteronomy 32:35) and Christian (Romans 12:19) traditions say that vengeance for wrongdoing is up to God, and not for any individual to pursue, the Qur’an tells Muslims that they are to be the executors of the wrath of Allah: he will punish errant human beings by the hands of the followers of Muhammad.
This is how the jihadis who killed Israeli civilians wholesale on Saturday could do so while believing they were doing nothing less than carrying out the will of the one and only God. They believe those whom they killed to be enemies of Allah and the Muslims, and consequently to have deserved everything they got, and more.
Fatah’s communiqué is thus packed with Qur’anic references, as if to emphasize that as far as Muslims are concerned, the murder of Israeli civilians is a holy struggle. That’s why Muslims across the world have joyfully celebrated the attacks instead of expressing revulsion at their bloody excesses. So when Fatah calls upon Muslims to “strike the sons of apes of pigs, kill everyone who is a settler, slaughter everyone who is Israeli,” it not only has no qualms about issuing such a broad-based call for murder but knows this call will resonate with many other believers throughout the world.
There is more. Read the rest here.

But they will cry when it comes for them to be stricken. 6 billion against 2 billion. As the Japanese said after the attack on the US “we have awakened a lion ” Now they will be scared, and good riddance to them.

It’s nowhere even close to 6 billion! In fact, there just may be 1 billion people worldwide who are anti-islam/anti-muslim. If that!
Too many observant Jews/Hindus/Christians/Buddhists/Rastafarians/…. are not anti-islamic. Note that I’m not even counting the atheists or agnostics among them

If hamas murder those innocent Israeli hostages they cannot expect any mercy:it really is Biblical and prophetic[Joel 3 v 19-21}at that stage.
When you see those pro-hamas demonstrations{DEMON-strations perhaps} laughing at the killing of the innocents.. and yet the “palestinians”/Keffiyeh-wearing Leftists don’t seem to get that that is a really BAD look.
So if these folk are OK with such murderous evil and cheer it on..They are evil.
The Far Lefties* like to call everybody ‘nazi’ when you see them spitting.screaming and waving the free palestine placards about:and what hamas have done?
Isn’t that .. EXACTLY what the nazis did?Irony much for leftist and muslims?
hamas are religious nazis.
*With those essential accesories:the fashionable keffiyeh ,the Black Combat Boots and quasi military uniform{..sort of exactly like the Fascists they emulate then..},the ‘stop the hate’ placards{where is the hate in having a different opinion?},the Che Guevara t-shirt.the free palestine flags{from hamas?}
You can be a leftie and reasonable but the far leftist marxist mob cannot be reasoned with.
Like the allahu akbar’s:always screaming about something.
