Senior Hamas official Ali Baraka said on October 8: “Our allies are those that support us with weapons and money. First and foremost it is Iran that is giving us money and weapons. There is also Hizbullah,” which is a wholly owned and operated subsidiary of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
“Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei: The Zionist Regime Has Brought this Calamity Upon Itself; Iran Was Not Behind the Invasion of southern of Israel,” MEMRI, October 10, 2023:
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei discussed the invasion of southern Israel in an October 10, 2023 address delivered at the officer graduation ceremony at Imam Ali Army Officer University, which was aired on Channel 1 (Iran). He said that the “oppressive Zionists” have brough this calamity upon themselves. Khamenei warned that the reaction to the “atrocities” carried out by Israel will be a “mightier slap to their ugly faces.” He continued to respond to claims that Iran was behind this invasion, saying that such claims are mistaken and underestimate the Palestinian people.
Westman says
The Iranian Regime has its eye on two chest-thumping objectives: The elimination of Israel and management of Mecca.
Though it has made an attempt at rapprochement with Saudi Arabia, that is unlikely to be sustained. Iran needs money and friends like the sunny-day lover who eventually leaves the relationship he ruins to enter another “opportunity”.
The only way for Hamas to be truly eliminated, not to rise again, is for funding, arms, and training from Iran to end. Whatever it takes.
Wellington says
All three of your paragraphs, Westman, I fully agree with. Shia Iran does indeed desire Mecca as its own. Iran’s attempt at a rapprochement with Saudi Arabia reminds me of the cynical Nazi-Soviet Pact of August 1939—no honor among thieves and all that. Finally, yes, funding etc. to Iran must end but it will not end, certainly has not ended to date, since the foolish, stupid and destructive bogus Biden Administration has been in power since January of 2021 and which bogus Administration has gotten virtually everything ass-backwards and has learned nothing—nor will it.
Wellington says
Of course this Muslim bastard is lying but treating events since October 7th, 2023 from a much larger perspective it is just more evidence, as if any more is needed, that Islam is the predecessor of Nazism. It is the religious counterpart to Nazism (and, yes, Islam is a religion but a very evil one—nowhere is it written that a religion cannot be evil; indeed, arguing otherwise only further obfuscates the entire matter and unnecessarily delays dealing with Islam as it should be dealt with, i.e., a highly wicked religious belief system).
And the fact that other religions like Christianity, bitterly ironically Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc. extend any respect to Islam is no different from extending respect to Nazism. Yes, this awful. Wake up, world. Islam is evil. Islam sucks. Islam is deadly to humanity.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I agree w/ everything else you have written, except the part about Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism extending respect to islam. None of these 3 religions have actual figureheads like the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of England or the Russian Orthodox Church (all 3 of who have accorded respect to islam). So the only thing one can conclude about them is what the majority of their followers believe
If one looks at 4 countries – Israel, India, Burma and Sri Lanka, one will see at least a population pretty hostile to islam. I don’t know what leading rabbis in Israel say publicly about islam, but in the other 3 countries, the top saints/monks in Hinduism and Buddhism are pretty critical of islam. You might cite the Dalai Lama, but when he called on Burma to not kick out the Rohingya muslims several years ago, they simply ignored him. (Part of that may be that Burma and Sri Lanka follow the Theravada sect of Buddhism, whereas the Dalai Lama heads the Mahayana sect, which was the ruling sect in Tibet before Beijing took over)
I wonder whether other Christian sects – Lutherans, Greek Orthodox, Presbyterians, Southern Baptists, et al have leaders who are as critical of islam?
Wellington says
Well, Infidel, certainly many Christians have not extended respect to Islam over the centuries—people like Charles Martel and many Popes come to mind, Dante and many Protestants too. Most recently, the recently deceased Benedict XVI noted just how “problematic” Islam is, such as in his 2006 Regensburg speech.
But many Christians, at least in our time, have stupidly extended respect to Mo’s warped creed. The current pontifex maximus, who is a complete fool at best, has done so, as have many gooey and silly other Christians of various sects. But can’t the same to be said of, say, Hindus? Many Hindus have realized the dangers of Islam but wasn’t Gandhi a complete fool about this? And how about Modi, who you yourself has criticized for not being nearly tough enough on Islam’s many nefarious designs? And the more Leftist someone who is Jewish is, the more likely they will be likely to crack up and go sappy where Islam is concerned. Mixed bag all around I think.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Gandhi was hardly representative of Hindu opinion: in fact, he even rejected some major Hindu beliefs, such as the Mahabharat (of which Gita is a part). During the partition days, he once tried reading the quran in a Hindu temple & was surprised that there was a vociferous opposition to it by the locals
Modi is not and has not been a Hindu leader: many Hindus were fooled into thinking he was one, but the events of the last 4 years have revealed otherwise. Today, it’s as dangerous to practice Hinduism in India as it is to be a Hindu in Pakistan or Bangladesh. There are heavy restrictions on fireworks on Diwali in the name of environmental pollution, even though analysis by the IITs revealed that on that one day, the percentage of pollution caused by fireworks is less than a percent. Woke companies in India love virtue-signaling by lecturing Hindus on various woke causes during their festivals, which never happened in previous regimes. In other words, Modi is not an integral part of Hinduism the way King Charles is of the Anglican Church – that’s my point
Yeah, there are leftist Jews, Hindus and Buddhists, like there are in any other population (except muslims, where they seem to merge), but most of them are heterodox in their religious beliefs at best, and downright heretical at worst. I was talking about the more orthodox adherents of these faiths and whether they have positive attitudes towards islam. The ones I have seen in Hinduism and Buddhism don’t, and I suspect the same is true about most rabbis in Israel
Wellington says
Thank you for your reply, Infidel. A further comment here in query form. What orthodox (small “o”) Christians have extended true respect to Islam? Silence, yes. Even noting that not all Muslims are terrorists (and which is true). But who of Christians and Jews who have not betrayed the teachings of their respective faith have been laudatory of Islam?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Wellington
I only cite those Churches that have a formal recognized and well known leadership. The 3 that I can think of, and cited, are the Pope, the King of England who’s also the head of the Church of England, and Patriarch Kirill of Moscow. I’m not sure of whether other Christian denominations in the world have a hierarchical structure, or are as distributed as other faiths
Unknown guy says
Infidel, I would like to know which major jain, sikh, hindu,budhhist leader have said that Islam promote violence and is not a religion of peace.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Sikh & Jain – no one
Hindus – there have been a bunch of saints, most notably Yati Narasinghnand Giri (whose statements about the quran have been cited here on JihadWatch when he was known as Yati Narasinghnanad Saraswati), who on YouTube regularly warn people about various islamic threats, from them violating Hindu temples, love jihad, spitting on food that they sell and so on. I have seen some other Hindu saints make the same points
Buddhists – I saw a clip a couple of years ago after the Easter bombings of Sri Lanka, where a major Buddhist monk made a speech in English citing what the quran says about unbelievers, and questioning whether one can co-exist w/ that ideology. Also, the actions of Burma in expelling them would seem to suggest that the major Buddhist leadership is okay w/ them. Only dhimmi Buddhist that I recall is the Dalai Lama, but there is no muslim threat in Tibet, ironically due to the Chicoms
Unknown guy says
Infidel, I agree modi is not pro hindu but to say that hindus living in India are just like hindus in Pakistan, Bangladesh is disgusting. You are insulting the hindus of Pakistan who are desparate to leave the country. Last I checked not a majority of hindus want to leave india.
࿗Infidel࿘ says

If you are someone not living in an elite gated community in an Indian city, like those in the West, you’d experience threats very similar to that by Hindus in Pakistan. Love-jihad is something that muslims do as brazenly in India as they do in Pakistan or Bangladesh, except that the techniques vary, due to the fact that Paki authorities do not cooperate w/ the victims there. In fact, as Swati Goel Sharma (of Swarajya) once noted, the cases of love jihad are far more in India than either Pakistan or Bangladesh, and all 3 countries have a similar number of muslims. Today, Hindus in one locality in Delhi were prevented by the police from celebrating Navratri, and they report to Amit Shah, not Arvind Kejriwal. Wait for a few weeks, and then let me know what the fireworks dictats were from wherever you live (assuming that you live in India). When I was a kid, we had secular and even communist governments (in W Bengal) and even they didn’t have all the ordinances on fireworks that this supposedly “Hindu” government has today
Yeah, Pakistani Hindus are brave in fleeing to India, and the only reason they are safe is that they live in refugee camps, somewhat segregated, outside Jaisalmer and Jodhpur. If they were integrated into other major cities, they would find themselves again being targeted by muslims, but this time, the police might be more sympathetic (not sure about Rajasthan). But it’s rapidly getting to a point where the only way Hindus can safely practice their faith is at home, which is pretty much like what it was/(is?) in Saudi Arabia
India badly needs Ekam Sanatan Bharat in power, to flush out this pseudo-Hindu regime
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Also, reason that a majority of Hindus are not trying to leave India:
➤ There is no other country in the world that can take them. Nepal and Mauritius are too small, and anywhere else, there are other cultural differences that would make most Hindus ill at ease
➤ Majority of Hindus – at least 50% – are either secular, or at best agnostic. They wouldn’t feel they’ve lost anything by being denied their religious freedom. There was a time when Hindus in Pakistan and Bangladesh felt the same way. The bulk of them either had to flee or convert
So unlike Paki Hindus, Indian Hindus have their backs to the wall
Unknown guy says
The problem with the bjp is that they always look to seek approval from liberals and leftists. Swati goel sharma has not put any data regarding the number of love jihad cases,if she has put any data I would like to know. She has only reported on love jihad cases. Yogi adityanath has made a anti love jihad law in his own state. Other leaders may soon follow. Bjp is miles better than the oppositon india alliance. You do remember udaynidhi stalin and what he said in that conference. Ekam sanatan party cannot win state or national elections at least for the next 15-20 years. At present bjp is our only hope. Don’t judge entire india by few secular states like west bengal and Kerala and delhi.

But they would kinda like to nuke Israel…
Must be funny be the supreme leader of a cult whose ;holy book’ it turns out is authored by an impersonator of the Bible who exhibits an astonishing LACK OF OMNISCENCE.
muslims take their advice from this book:incredibly they have not figured it out after centuries of ‘scholarship’
The funny thing is that in koran 10:94 allah tells mohamed to check with the Bible People which allah confirms{koran 3:3} but islamic ‘scholars’ /”holy men”say is corrupted{to stop muslims figuring it out!}
They would discover that Iran is on the WRONG side of Biblical prophecy and the koran’s teachings are false.

Now wait a minute.I find Israeli girls quite cute.muslimas too -if only you could see their hair.

Walter Sieruk says
Ayatollah Khamenei much Islamic gall to be such an outright liar by saying, officially, to the nation ofthe world, that Iran didn’t have a hand in the massacre of Israeli civilians. Khamenei and his in his attempt at such lying Islamic deception ,taqiyya , deceives no intelligent and well informed person.
For that aggressive and hostile and sinister Islamic regime of Iran supports and funds Hamas to engage in terrorist jihad attacks to murder Israeli citizens. The officials of the State of Israel comprehend this then strike back, for brute force is the only language that the jihadists are able to understand. Just like a common criminal, the Iran’s Muslim tyrants refuse to accept that they are the ones that cause Israel to strike back. Therefore, that “mullah tyranny” launches further terrors strike against Israel for “revenge.” Even though they stated it all.
Iran’s mullah president Rouhani along with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei with their despicable words with his brainwash and then get the Iranian people all worked up until they chant, over and over again, “Death to Israel.”
Khamenei is so ignorant that he neither knows nor understand that that all his Muslim stooge terror organization Hamas are 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 Hamas are striving against the Will of God.
The members of 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 Khamenei and Iran’s Revolutionary Guards along with the Muslim members 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 President Rasis of Iran to gather the members of the jihad organizations ,including Hamas, 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.”
Daniel Triplett says
“I say let Iran go up in smoke, provided Islam emerges triumphant in the rest of the world.”
