Hamas terror organization charter targets Christians and US service organizations Hamas charter targets civic groups in US heartland https://www.foxnews.com/world/hamas...r-targets-christians-us-service-organizations You may be surprised, but Hamas does not call for only killing Jews and eliminating Israel. If you are Christian, a member of another religion or even participate in your local Rotary club or the Lions, Hamas also considers you an enemy, too. "Hamas is using Gaza as an umbrella to be legitimate," says author and Middle East expert Walid Phares. "The reality is this is a jihadist movement, and it is manifesting itself in America and Canada, and in Western Europe. We have never been at this level of danger for our democratic world." The Hamas charter seeks to expand Islam to become the controlling religion across the globe, targeting any non-believer, which includes "Main Street" America. The terrorist group's guiding philosophy is detailed in "The Covenant of the Islamic Resistance Movement," which was adopted on Aug. 18, 1988. It says that the duty of every Muslim is "Jihad," that "there is no solution to the Palestinian question except through Jihad," and says "the Jews will not be pleased with thee, neither the Christians," until they follow the ways of Hamas. "Israel is just a thick skin though the rest of the international community that happens to be blocking them," says Phares, who has written the new book, "Iran, An Imperialistic Republic and U.S. Policy," that explains how Tehran's proxies, like Hamas, spread their message of hate. "They know our society very well. They are here," he said. Article 22 of the Hamas charter mentions an unexpected subject of its call for Jihad, the "American as apple pie" business, community and charitable organizations found throughout the nation: Rotary and Lions clubs. Freemasonry is also on its list. The charter cites what it calls "secret societies, such as Freemasons, Rotary Clubs, the Lions and others in different parts of the world for the purpose of sabotaging societies and achieving Zionist interests." Hamas faults the humanitarian organizations, falsely accusing them of attempting to "colonize many countries in order to enable them to exploit their resources and spread corruption." "They are part of what the Jihadists consider a sin, a national sin," Phares explained. "They will go against them; they will go against the Freemasons and they will go against every entity that is a social organization." FBI Director Christoper Wray appeared before the House Committee on Homeland Security last week, announcing that the bureau has ramped up extensive investigations into Hamas in order to disrupt any potential Hamas-related attacks on U.S. soil and shut down any financial support flowing to the terrorist group. "We’ve kept our sights on Hamas and have multiple investigations into individuals affiliated with that foreign terrorist organization," said Wray. "We've seen a rogue’s gallery of foreign terrorist organizations call for attacks against Americans and our allies," he told the panel. "We cannot — and do not — discount the possibility that Hamas or another foreign terrorist organization may exploit the current conflict to conduct attacks here, on our own soil." Federal prosecutors have brought a slew of cases against Hamas-affiliated charities and individuals in the U.S. The most notable convictions, in 2008, were of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development and five of its leaders on charges of giving material support to Hamas. The foundation, based in Richardson, Texas, just north of Dallas, was found to have funneled at least $12 million to Hamas, and some of its leaders were sentenced to as many as 65 years in federal prison. Congressional testimony linked the Holy Land Foundation with current Hamas political leader Abu Marzouk, who authorities said in 1992 "provided more than 10 percent of all donations to the Holy Land Foundation." Today, Marzouk is believed to be living in Qatar and is worth more than $3 billion. While FBI Director Wray said that "we’re not currently tracking a specific plot," he explained that the bureau is "keeping a close eye on what impact recent events may have on those terrorist groups’ intentions here in the United States, and how those intentions might evolve." Both the Rotary and Lions clubs told Fox News that their organizations are not political and are known for their vast volunteer and charitable work around the globe. Both the Rotary Club and the Lions said they have more than 1.4 million members and are engaged in a variety of humanitarian efforts, from providing food programs and rebuilding communities to fighting diseases and providing clean water, sanitation and hygiene. The Lions told Fox News that "Lions International is a non-political, non-sectarian volunteer service organization whose members are dedicated to serving a world in need."
Just a reminder. There was a cease fire in the 1948 Arab offensive to deny Israelis a homeland . I think it was two weeks, and brought on by the U.N. . During that time Israel was resupplied by Czechoslovakia, notably with an air force made up of surplus planes they had previously been forced to make for the Luftwaffe. These included gun sights that were calibrated incorrectly, which was the Czceks way of screwing with the Nazis. The Israelis noticed it and rectified the sites and went on to win their defensive battles. Btw, were the Palestinians neutral, like Switzerland, during the 1948 Arab offensive?
Phares has asserted that the Barack Obama administration supported the Muslim Brotherhood.[33][16][34] In October 2016, he asserted that "the triangle Clintonmachine-Iranregime-MuslimBrotherhood has unleashed a coordinated propaganda offensive" against Donald Trump.[35] In March 2017 Phares attracted attention in the UK when he implied in a tweet that London had "shut down" in the wake of the terrorist attack in Westminster, despite most roads and tube stations (with the exception of the adjacent Westminster station) remaining open as normal, and the fact that only the immediate crime scene was cordoned off: many Londoners replied to Phares to refute his claim.[36][37] According to The New York Times, Phares "regularly warns that Muslims aim to take over American institutions and impose Sharia, a legal code based mainly on the Quran that can involve punishments like cutting off the hands of a thief."[38] He has been described as an early advocate of Bat Ye'or's dhimmitude concept.[39] Phares has also asserted that jihadists are posing as civil rights advocates.[40] Phares has been described as being part of "the Islamophobia industry, a network of researchers who have warned for many years of the dangers of Islam and were thrilled by Mr. Trump’s election."[27] According to Lawrence Pintak of the Atlantic Council and a member of the advisory board for The Media Majlis at Northwestern University in Qatar,[41] Phares is a "card-carrying Islamophobe".[42] Although Phares is often described as a scholar on terrorism, Stanford University terrorism expert Martha Crenshaw stated that Phares was "not in the mainstream as an academic".[23] Duke sociologist Christopher A. Bail describes Phares as an influential figure in the anti-Islam movement.[43] Phares has served on the board of advisors of anti-Muslim groups ACT for America and the Clarion Project,[44] and has been described as part of the counter-jihad movement by Hope not Hate.[45] According to The New York Times, Phares "is regularly accused by Muslim civil rights groups of being Islamophobic and of fear-mongering about the spread of Sharia law."[46] He worked for the Republican presidential campaigns of Mitt Romney in 2012 and Donald Trump in 2016. He has also served as a commentator on terrorism and the Middle East for Fox News since 2007,[3] and for NBC from 2003 to 2006.[4]
It's overdue that they took the Hamas supporting Director of this hospital into custody and got some answers about these crimes. Israel brings in Al Shifa Hospital director for questioning on alleged terrorist activities https://www.foxnews.com/live-news/november-23-israel-hamas-war Israel announced Thursday that the director of Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City was arrested and will be held for questioning by the Israel Securities Authority. Israel has claimed that the hospital, the largest in the Gaza Strip, held within it an underground command and control center for the terrorist group Hamas. IDF soldiers have conducted raids on the hospital and said they recovered weapons kept on the hospital grounds. "The Hamas terror tunnel network situated under the hospital also exploited electricity and resources taken from the hospital. In addition, Hamas stored numerous weapons inside the hospital and on the hospital grounds," the IDF and ISA said in a joint statement. "Furthermore, after the Hamas massacre on October 7th, Hamas terrorists sought refuge within the hospital, some of them taking hostages from Israel with them. A pathological report also confirmed the murder of CPL Noa Marciano on the hospital premises," the military and national security agency said. Israel said it will question the hospital director about the alleged terrorist activity at the hospital under his management. “Now, the irrefutable truth of Hamas’ exploitation of hospitals in Gaza is on full display to the world," IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said. "We have an important question to ask the international community: what will you do to stop Gaza’s hospitals from being turned into terror bases in the future? Will you condemn Hamas? Or will you continue to be silent? Will you remain silent?"
