| Hamas says it will take nine years to destroy Israel Posted: 22 Jun 2013 08:37 PM PDT Hamas interior minister Fathi Hammmad, speaking to Egyptian media, said that Hamas will help achieve the destruction of Israel in nine years: "The destruction will be in phases, and Egypt will also play a significant role in the destruction of the Zionist entity, and will then be an Islamic caliphate," Hammad said. Hammad indicated that "Palestine" and all the other Islamist countries will combine into the new caliphate. The implication that such a caliphate is impossible while Israel exists. Which is as good a reason as any for the West to support Israel wholeheartedly. While we might laugh at the idea of Israel being destroyed in nine years, are any Western leaders setting up a strategy to destroy Islamist terror groups in any timeframe? I am afraid that for all the technical and moral superiority of the West, the Islamists have a strategy - and we simply don't. We remain in reactive mode without a clear vision of how to defeat the enemy, and often not even to recognize it as the enemy. Hamas' plan, shared with the PLO, is not mentioned here but obvious based on the short history of Palestinian Arab nationalism. It is to take Israel apart piece by piece. Starting with Judea and Samaria and concentrating on Jerusalem, a city that was ignored by most Muslims before 1920, the plan is to take away Israel's Jewish soul and then to destroy it demographically, all the while delegitimizing the very idea of a Jewish state and of a Jewish people. They have enough antisemites and self-hating Jews to partner with to push this plan (or specific parts of it.) Where is the plan to destroy Hamas?      |
| Ridiculous article blames Israel for "Gaza's cultural deficit" Posted: 22 Jun 2013 06:20 PM PDT In Al Monitor, Rana Baker writes a mishmash of pseudo-facts all meant to blame Israel for Gaza's lack of culture. Israel restricts movement in its own territory between Gaza and the West Bank, Israel bombed the Islamic University of Gaza in 2008, and a bunch of other cherry-picked half-truths are thrown together to make it appear like Israel has a deliberate policy against Gaza culture, and Hamas is free and clear. Here is the comment I wrote there: What a joke this article is.(h/t Josh)      |
