Hamastine: A Present from the U.N. to Khaled Mashaal

Amin Farouk
December 24, 2012

Thus, thanks to the international help it received from the U.N., official acceptance of "Palestine" will pass over from Fatah to Hamas in the West Bank, causing "Palestine" to be the first terrorist state created and recognized by Europe and the U.N.

In a field near the Islamic University -- where PhD theses are written on topics such as "The role of the Muslim mother in preparing her sons to be shaheeds [martyrs] of the resistance" -- the Gaza Strip stronghold of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, and the other terrorist organizations, a large outdoor rally was recently held to glorify, celebrate and promote anti-Semitism and genocide.

There were 2,500 in attendance: representatives from the Islamic countries, representatives from the West Bank, terrorist operatives who had been released from Israeli jails, and a Fatah delegation.
On stage was an enormous model of an M-75 rocket, which opened to reveal terrorist leader Khaled Mashaal and his entourage, who marched out to bask in Gazan adulation. Israeli cut-ups joked that he had recruited an entire Gazan kindergarten as human shields to protect him from an Israeli attack. Next to him stood his deputy, Musa Abu Marzuq, who, like Egyptian Islamist President Mohamed Morsi, has a couple of American university degrees in his quiver.

Raising his fists to make his intentions absolutely clear, and repeatedly slashing his hand up and down to emphasize a point, Mashaal did not mince words: he roused his cheering audience by calling for the destruction of Israel. With engaging frankness he revealed Hamas's agenda, honed by him and his fellow Muslim Brothers: he pointed to the rocket behind him and bragged about the "rain of missiles" the Gazan terrorist organizations had launched on Israeli civilians, especially in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, where Al-Aqsa mosque, the third holiest site in Islam, is located. He called for the annihilation of the Jews and the destruction of their homeland, for the continuation of rocket fire and terrorist attacks, for the abduction of IDF soldiers, and for the "return" of the Palestinian refugees, and for jihad until the "liberation" of all "Palestine." Ironically, while he was preaching genocide of the Jews in Israel, he was accusing the Jews in Israel of "racism."

Mashaal appealed to the masses in the Gaza Strip, and around the globe, with his familiar theme: hatred of the Jews. He trotted out the politically correct European version of anti-Semitism, anti-Zionism, claiming that Hamas was not fighting the Jews but wanted to exterminate "only" the "Zionists" -- "only" the six million Jews in Israel. It was a moment reminiscent of Hitler's final attempt to wipe out all the Jews of Europe: Mashaal, standing next to the ruins of Hamas's offices -- the Gaza Strip's Reichstag - calling for the murder of Jews.

Mashaal appealed to the countries of the world -- those same Christian enthusiasts in the UN who had just given "President" Mahmoud Abbas recognition for the state of "Palestine" -- to help drive the Zionists out of "Palestine" by peaceful means, lest they be forced to suffer a bitter fate that awaited them.
Since the seventh century, when Muhammad himself, the perfect man, killed the Jews of Khaybar, the Khaybar Massacre has not only served in as the justification in the Islamic heritage for the murder of Jews; it has also been the model for today's Islamic terrorist organizations, including Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the Popular Resistance Committees.

"Palestine," shouted Mashaal to his audience, was Arabic, Islamic, from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River; his audience chanted its support. The "racist Zionists," he claimed, had stolen both land and history; they had no place in "Palestine." Realizing there might be other forces to deal with, he said, "This land is the country of the Arab Islamic people where only Muslims and Christians will live." With a sweep of his hand he wiped away the history of the Jewish people, its rights to the land, the history of the Temple built by King Solomon, the priests who served it, and Jesus, the Jew of Nazareth who, preaching in Jerusalem, the capital of the Jews, laid the foundations for Christianity.
Mashaal pinpointed the religious roots of the ancient anti-Semitism, currently presenting itself as pro-Palestinianism, and called on "Muslims and Christians to live as partners in liberated Palestine."
He carefully forgot to mention, however, that Christians were being methodically persecuted, murdered and ethnically cleansed throughout Africa, the Middle East and in the Palestinian Authority. Residents of ancient Christian strongholds -- the Copts in Egypt, the Christians in Bethlehem -- are hunted, their churches torched, their property pillaged, their women raped, and entire communities forced to move to the West.

If Khaled Mashaal had been honest with the Christians -- as he had been honest when advertising his desire for the destruction of the Jews in Israel -- he would have said that, according to Islam, the Christians were infidels, Crusaders, invaders, who either had to convert to Islam or die by the sword.
According to Mashaal's "Islamic idyll," the old Islamic proverb still holds: "We will begin on Saturday and end on Sunday": First we finish off the Jews and then we finish off the Christians.
Nor was the Palestinian Authority spared: Mashaal indirectly accused it of treason -- it had prevented terrorist attacks against Israel from being carried out from its territory. He said he was prepared for a Gaza Strip-West Bank union, but on the condition that the armed campaign continue; that the right of Israel to exist was off the table, and that the PLO bring its charter into alignment with the Hamas charter. Apparently, as far as Khaled Mashaal is concerned, the Palestinian Authority will cease to exist and will quickly be replaced by Hamas.

In the final analysis, it turns out that the countries of the West, which complied with Mahmoud Abbas's appeal and recognized "Palestine" as a non-member observer state in the UN, were not only hasty but irresponsible. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas -- who can barely control the West Bank; who uses his media to broadcast militaristic songs urging the wresting of "all Palestine" from the hands of the Israelis, who is scared to enter the Gaza Strip, and who never mentioned, let alone condemned, the rockets targeting Israeli civilians or Mashaal's threats to destroy Israel -- announced not only that the Palestinian Authority would no longer arrest Hamas operatives, but also -- despite UN recognition -- that it was not interested in negotiating peace with Israel.
Ismail Haniya, head of the Hamas administration, probably trying to exploit the European momentum for promoting the Palestinians, demanded that the West remove Hamas from its lists of designated terrorist organizations.
In the past week, there have been marches in the West Bank in support of Hamas, where demonstrators have carried models of missiles and called for a third intifada.
The Palestinian public knows the Palestinian Authority continues to exist only by virtue of the periodic injections of money it receives, and the security supplied by Israel, and that the West Bank will eventually drop into the waiting lap of Hamas. Thus, thanks to the international help it received from the UN, official acceptance of "Palestine" will pass over from Fatah to Hamas in the West Bank -- causing "Palestine" to become the first terrorist state created and recognized by Europe and the UN.
The next step will be Iranian- and Syrian-manufactured missiles fired at Ben-Gurion International Airport, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv -- stepping stones on the road to the liberation of "Palestine."

Khaled Mashaal and his associates hide behind their own civilians, using them as human shields, while deliberately attacking Israelis. They are war criminals. They plot and plan and take action for the annihilation of the Jews in Israel; they do it openly, relentlessly, day and night. They do it from territory considered part of the new Palestinian state, recognized as "Palestine" by the UN, and rapidly turning into "Hamastine;" and they do it while the world watches.

Khaled Mashaal and his associates should be tried by the International War Crimes Court in the Hague for deliberately shooting rockets (more than 1,800 in 2012 alone) at the Israeli civilian population; for launching an anti-tank missile at a schoolbus on April 7, 2011; for sending 147 suicide bombers to blow themselves up on public buses, at a discotheque, at a wedding, in markets, restaurants, and shopping malls between 2000 and 2010; for slitting the throat of a three-month-old baby girl on March 11, 2011; and publicly taking responsibility for attempting to carry out the genocide of the Jews in Israel, in direct contravention of the U.N. 1948 Convention of the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.

The West, which stands on the sidelines and condones their criminality through inaction, should take into consideration that eventually Israel will be forced to take determined steps against the Palestinian terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip, as the Allies did for example, against Dresden. When that happens, the UN would do well not to complain: Israel has the right to defend itself, just as, in the Second World War, the Allies had the right to defend themselves -- as any country has a right to defend itself.

The IDF’s Minorities in Numbers and Pictures

In honor of IDF Diversity Week, we present diversity through numbers and pictures. Each year, more and more Muslims, Christians, Druze, Bedouin and immigrants from around the world take on the responsibility of defending Israel.

MUSLIMS:

Muslim Arab Israelis are not required to draft in the IDF, but there are many who volunteer. In 2013, there were over 200 Muslims serving in the IDF and over 300 in the reserves.

Bedouins:

Bedouins are nomadic Muslims who were in Israel when modern borders were set in place and are now considered Israeli citizens. They are not required to draft but a growing number choose to enlist. In 2012, there were over 1,400 Bedouin Muslim soldiers doing regular IDF service and almost 1,500 in the reserves.

Are you aware that in 2013, Middle class taxes go up-significantly?

In January of next year, the federal income tax rate for middle-class taxpayers is scheduled to rise from 25 percent to 28 percent, and the payroll tax is scheduled to rise from 13.3 percent to 15.3 percent… This drives the marginal tax rate based on the aforementioned three taxes to 48.12 percent. Add in state and local property, corporate, excise, and other state and local taxes, and the percentage of each additional dollar that is taxed hovers around 50 percent… When half of each additional dollar earned is taxed away, taxpayers experience a disincentive to start businesses or expand existing ones. This leads to fewer jobs being created.

Why is HAMAS Inside Tampa Schools?

Clare Lopez

Kelly Miliziano, who teaches history classes at Steinbrenner High School in the Tampa, Florida area apparently thinks it’s perfectly OK to invite a senior official of a HAMAS-affiliated organization into her classroom to discuss Islam with her students. According to local media reports, not only has this been going on for years, but in spite of the civil and criminal proceedings that could result from such reckless negligence, the Hillsborough County school superintendent, Mary Ellen Elia, and the chairman of the school board, Candy Olson, also expressed approval for students under their responsibility to be exposed repeatedly to guest speaker, Hassan Shibly, who is the Executive Director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in the Tampa area.

Did You Know... Ignoring the Call to Islam will Bring Jihad

‘Conquest through Da’wa [proselytizing] that is what we hope for. We will conquer Europe, we will conquer America! Not through sword but through Da’wa.’
-- Yousef al-Qaradawi , Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader The Arabic word ‘Da’wa’ means the “call to Islam.” But do not think that Da’wa is the same thing as an invitation to an optional holiday event. The classical Islamic doctrine of jihad mandates that enemies must be given the opportunity to convert to Islam or pay the jizya tax before it is permissible to attack them.

On March 31, 1977, the Dutch newspaper Trouw published an interview

with PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein. Here's what he said:

"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism.

For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan."

The Arab Apartheid

Ben-Dror Yemini
In 1948, the Arab countries refused to accept the UN partition proposal and they launched a war of annihilation against the State of Israel which had barely been established. All precedents in this matter showed that the party that starts the war - and with a declaration of annihilation, yet - pays a price for it. Between 550,000 and 710,000 Arabs fled because of the war and a larger number of 850,000 Jews were expelled or fled from Arab countries (the "Jewish nakba").
Population exchanges and expulsions were the norm at that time, occurring in dozens of other conflict points and affecting about 52 million people. In all the population exchange precedents that occurred during or at the end of an armed conflict, there was no return of refugees to the previous region, which had turned into a new national state.
Only the Arab states acted completely differently from the rest of the world. Instead of assimilating the refugees, they crushed them despite the fact that they were their coreligionists and members of the Arab nation - instituting a regime of apartheid. So the "nakba" was not caused by the actual dispossession, which had also been experienced by tens of millions of others. The "nakba" is the story of the apartheid, oppression, abuse and denial of rights suffered by the Arab refugees at the hands of the Arab countries. (Maariv)

International Law and Military Operations in Practice - Col. Richard Kemp

"Islamist fighting groups study the international laws of armed conflict carefully and they understand it well. They know that a British or Israeli commander and his men are bound by international law and the rules of engagement that flow from it. They then do their utmost to exploit what they view as one of their enemy's main weaknesses. Their very modus operandi is built on the correct assumption that Western armies will normally abide by the rules, while these insurgents employ a deliberate policy of operating consistently outside international law. "

Lost Historical Moments

What Rabin’s last Knesset speech really said:repudiation of a Palestinian state

Rabin ruled out a fully sovereign Palestinian state :

“We view the permanent solution in the framework of State of Israel which will include most of the area of the Land of Israel as it was under the rule of the British Mandate, and alongside it a Palestinian entity which will be a home to most of the Palestinian residents living in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. We would like this to be an entity which is less than a state, and which will independently run the lives of the Palestinians under its authority.”

Rabin ruled out a total withdrawal from Judea and Samaria and thus a return to the pre-June 1967 borders :

“The borders of the State of Israel, during the permanent solution, will be beyond the lines which existed before the Six Day War. We will not return to the 4 June 1967 lines.”

Rabin ruled out withdrawing form the Jordan Valley:

“The security border of the State of Israel will be located in the Jordan Valley, in the broadest meaning of that term.”

Rabin ruled out uprooting settlement blocs, like the Gush Katif bloc in Gaza (which was subsequently uprooted by former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon):

“The establishment of blocs of settlements in Judea and Samaria, like the one in Gush Katif.

AND

Rabin ruled out removing any settlement before coming to a full peace agreement with the Palestinians:

“I want to remind you: we committed ourselves, that is, we came to an agreement, and committed ourselves before the Knesset, not to uproot a single settlement in the framework of the interim agreement, and not to hinder building for natural growth.”

Rabin insisted on Israel retaining full security control of the borders with Egypt and Jordan, contrary to Israel’s relinquishment of the Philadelphia Corridor on the border with Egypt:

“The responsibility for external security along the borders with Egypt and Jordan, as well as control over the airspace above all of the territories and Gaza Strip maritime zone, remains in our hands.”

Correcting Oslo Myths-Part 2

3) Kuttab laments that the post-1993 Oslo process resulted in a Palestinian Authority "whose ministers and legislators are not guaranteed passage between Gaza and the West Bank ...."

Before free passage or other perquisites, PA leaders were obligated, among other things, to eliminate the terrorist infrastructure in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, end anti-Israeli, antisemitic incitement in schools, mosques, and communications media, and resolve all outstanding issues through peaceful negotiations. They met none of these commitments, sometimes bolstering terrorism and greatly increasing incitement.

4) Kuttab complains that under Oslo the PA got "lightly armed police ---- but no real sovereignty over the land or contiguity between our communities in Gaza and the West Bank."

Oslo agreements repeatedly were revised, regardless of Palestinian non-compliance, until the authorized number of police grew from 8,000 to 40,000. Though they were to be the only armed forces in the territories, Israeli estimates early in the second intifada put the number of gunmen - police, "security services," terrorists, and armed gangs - at 85,000. Their armament reportedly included not only heavy machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades, but also anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles.

Sovereignty was to be negotiated in the envisioned 1998 "final status" talks - after a five-year period of confidence-building. Palestinian leadership chronically undermined the process. Palestinian terrorism made the 1993 - 1998 Oslo period more deadly for Israelis than the 15 years preceding it.

The United States doesn't have contiguity between the lower 48 states and Alaska and Hawaii; territorial contiguity between the West Bank and Gaza Strip - that is, through the 20 miles of Israeli territory between them - was never promised and would destroy Israeli contiguity.

5) "Palestinians have been made to endure hundreds of checkpoints in the West Bank, an eight-foot wall deep in our territories, and tight Israeli control over borders."

The security barrier is not "deep in Palestinian territories," but rather encompasses less than 8 percent of Judea and Samaria, and is mostly a fence, rarely a wall; the land in question is not "our [Palestinian] territories" but disputed territory to which, according to the authors of U.N. Security Council Resolution 242, Jews as well as Arabs have claims; and there are no international borders, only the 1949 armistice lines with Jordan. Under 242, borders remain to be negotiated. As for checkpoints - like the security barrier and "tight Israeli control" - Palestinian Arabs precipitated these measures themselves. No terrorism and there would be no fence or tight Israeli control and few checkpoints - like before the first intifada.

Correcting Some Oslo Myths

1) In Oslo "Israeli, Palestinian and other world leaders promised that ... Palestinian sovereignty would be solidified."

No, they didn't. The 1993 Declaration of Principles and subsequent Oslo agreements outlined a process by which final status negotiations about the West Bank and Gaza Strip would be reached. The process required an end to anti-Israel terrorism and incitement and a commitment to peaceful negotiations. The PA, Fatah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and other terrorist groups, sabotaged the process from the start.

2) "The reality is that, in defiance of U.N. Security Council Resolution 242, which states that it is inadmissible to occupy land by force, Palestinian territories are still under foreign military occupation."
Wrong again. Resolution 242 (1967) does note "the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war." It also affirms the right of every state in the area "to live in peace with secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force." There were no "Palestinian territories." Jordan occupied the West Bank, Egypt controlled Gaza. Israel did not have "secure and recognized boundaries," so retention of some of those territories was possible under 242. Israel is not a "foreign" military occupier in the West Bank but, pending final negotiations, the lawful military administrator as a result of a successful war of self-defense.
