Jihadist zeal has already escalated since October 7 and has been consistently fanned and inflamed by both the Palestinian Authority and Hamas. Combine that zeal with the coming of Ramadan — the month of jihad — next month, and Israel is now preparing for an October 7 part two. The West would also do well to brace itself for attacks, as the Palestinian jihad has gone global.
Hamas has also “called for Palestinians to march to Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque” (the Temple Mount) “at the start of Ramadan.” Meanwhile, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has advised:
We should not allow residents from the [Palestinian] Authority to enter Israel in any way….We cannot take chances and risks…. It can’t be that women and children are hostages in Gaza and we allow Hamas victory celebrations on the Temple Mount.
A showdown is building even within Israel. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has requested that Netanyahu “exclude” Ben-Gvir from discussions about Ramadan and the Temple Mount. However, appeasement emboldens jihadists in steady increments in Israel and beyond. Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps chief Hossein Salami has stated that only the “eradication of Israel” will “guarantee security of Muslims and Palestinians.” One fact is certain: there will be jihad violence, fueled by support for Hamas, but the level of the violence is impossible to predict.
“Hamas Leader Urges Palestinians to Escalate Terror Attacks Across Israel,” by Yossi Licht, JNS, February 28, 2024:
Ismail Haniyeh, the Doha-based leader of Hamas’s “political” wing, on Wednesday urged the Iran-led “Axis of Resistance” to step up attacks on Israel during Ramadan, calling for a “broad and international movement to break the siege on Al-Aqsa mosque” in Jerusalem.
“Any flexibility in negotiations, out of concern for the blood of our people, is matched by a readiness to defend it,” Haniyeh said in a speech, referring to ongoing talks for a ceasefire deal with Israel.
The “Axis of Resistance” includes Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, the Houthis and other Iranian-backed terrorist groups in the Middle East.
In his speech, the terror leader also called on Palestinians in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria to storm the Al-Aqsa mosque on the Temple Mount on the first day of Ramadan, which falls around March 10 this year.
Haniyeh’s comments came a day after Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warned that terrorist groups are plotting to increase their violent attacks on the Jewish state under the guise of Ramadan.
“The main goal of Hamas is to take Ramadan, with an emphasis on the Temple Mount and Jerusalem, and turn it into the second phase of their plan that began on October 7…
Taffy says
Hamas did not need to tell their fellow muzzies to escalate attacks during Ramadan, the Muzzies do so anyway. Every single year come Ramadan, there is a very high spike in Muzzie terrorist attacks.

And turkey is conniving….
Like hungry vultures, taking advantage of a wounded animal, each mozlum nation and terror group, believe they see a weakness and a large wound in Israel.

When I read this I’m just reminded of how twisted they make everything. “Resistance” was going into peaceful suburban areas and brutally m*rdering innocent people using torturous and s*xually sadistic violence. Over here where I live in nyc there are protesters calling for the boycott of American companies, shouting resistance and glaze over the or are completely ignorant of what Islam is or does and they just want Israel to ignore the fact Oct 7 happened. There is so much ignorance around the reality of what jihadists do and will continue to do, if not eradicated. It actually makes me angry. Especially when people I go church with sympathize with Palestinians. I have sympathy yes for the innocents…and war is terrible. But the truth is these Palestinians support and put Hamas in power. They believe Oct 7 was good, and the IDF does not torture. Israel warns them before they bomb- there was no warning Oct 7. They brainwash their own children to hate and even carry weapons to k*ll Jews. It amazes me how there is no accountability for what crimes have been committed and the continued attitude of bloodlust these men have. Islam is truly a demonic and evil religion that brings out the worst in people.

I love ramadamadingdong!!
We do our nightly fast breaking at Allahu’s Snackbar where during ramadamadingdong they offer buy one pulled pork sammie, get one pulled pork sammie for free. They are mohammedelicious, fit for a prophet, and to die for.

So says he from his safe cushy home far from the action and danger, while raking in the BIG bucks.

Why is this Hamas leader still breathing?
abu taleb says
He should have make himself as an exemplary by doing the jihad, especially the suicide bomber. 🙂 But alas, even Muhammad did not do that, he only told his men to go forward during the war and getting killed, he himself stayed behind to be safe while promising 72 eternal virgins for those who were stupid enough and got killed. Unfortunately, there are too many idiots who want to die as shahid, never question why their leaders do not do the jihad themselves and keep in luxurious life somewhere else.
