Islamic Jihad celebrates jihad attack that murdered eight civilians as a “great achievement”

Hamas, Islamic Jihad discuss merger
This ought to complicate Hamas’ attempts to reconcile with Fatah, though, as this report notes, it could also conceivably result in an even more virulent jihadist conglomerate with which Israel would be expected to negotiate. “Hamas, Islamic Jihad debate joining forces,” from Agence France-Presse, January 18: Hamas and Islamic Jihad, the two main Palestinian Islamist […]
Shocker: Islamic Jihad doesn’t expect “truce” with Israel to last
The hudna is never intended to last. It is a tool to attempt to give control to the jihadists over when hostilities begin and end, so that fighting occurs when the jihadists like their odds of succeeding. Note also that the “new” Egypt has begun direct negotiations with this jihad terrorist group. “Islamist [sic] Jihad […]
Islamic Jihad bombards southern Israel with longer-range Grad rockets
Lather, rinse, repeat: after a certain period of calm, the jihadists in Gaza decide to see how far they can push against Israel again.

That was quick: Jihadist groups discussing return to ceasefire with Israel

Israel: Longer-range Grad rockets being launched from Gaza
This escalation continues the trend of increasing rocket launches recorded last month.

26 rockets fired from Gaza into Israel during July
There have been busier months, to be sure, but that only underscores the same point as July’s count of 26: which other country besides Israel would be expected to tolerate such behavior?

Islamic Jihad: “Obama is a weak and helpless man in the face of the Zionist lobby and everyone needs to realize this”
Why is it unlikely in the extreme that Barack Obama is a tool of the “Zionist lobby”? Well, for one thing, he has consistently allied with enemies of Israel throughout his political career. For another, his “1967 lines” recommendation, whatever he ultimately means, would weaken Israel to the point that its future survival would be […]

Hamas and Islamic Jihad applaud uprising in Tunisia
Because they know that pro-Sharia Islamic supremacists enjoy broad popular support in the Islamic world — contrary to the Western assumption that they constitute a Tiny Minority of Extremists. “Hamas, Islamic Jihad applaud popular uprising in Tunisia,” from Ma’an, January 15: GAZA CITY (Ma’an) — Hamas and Islamic Jihad on Saturday expressed their respect for […]
Islamic Jihad says it will resume suicide attacks against Israel
“Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain…” — Qur’an 9:111 Not that this has anything to do with Islam, of course. If you believe Obama and Brennan, et al, this group should […]
