Hamas, Al-Qaeda Threaten Jewish Targets Abroad
Israel National News ^ | 01/02/09 | Nissan Ratzlav-Katz

Posted on 01/02/2009 11:40:20 PM PST by Uncle Miltie

The Palestinian Authority jihadist organization Hamas and its global twin, Al-Qaeda, have threatened Jewish interests around the world. Hamas and Fatah both called for a "day of rage" on Friday, as security analysts warn of "lone-wolf" attacks by Muslims incited by the international calls for jihad.

In reaction to the elimination of a leading Islamist in Gaza on Thursday afternoon, a top PA terrorist, Ismail Redwan, threatened "revenge" in the name of Hamas. On PA television, he declared that "all options are open to Hamas, including suicide bombings and attacks on Zionist interests everywhere." Redwan added that the PA militias "will end the occupation."

In a separate statement, the Hamas regime urged "the mujahideen (jihad fighters) and the rest of the Palestinian people to confront the Israeli occupation army and the Israeli settlers in every Palestinian city, village and refugee camp." Hamas, it should be noted, considers all Jewish cities, towns and villages anywhere in Israel to be "settlements".

The Hamas threat to strike targets abroad, like the rest of the organization's current tactics, is reminiscent of Hizbullah. That Lebanese terrorist organization also threatened to strike Israeli and Jewish assets worldwide in the wake of the assassination of Hizbullah's strategist and Iran-directed handler Imad Mughniyeh. He was killed when his car exploded in Damascus in February 2008. Hamas terrorists have been receiving support and training from Iran, for which Hizbullah acts as a proxy army in Lebanon.

Al-Qaeda Joins the Call Earlier this week, security analysts from the Israel- and US-based Institute for Terrorism Research and Response (ITRR) warned that Hamas, Hizbullah and Al-Qaeda may collaborate or carry out "sympathetic attacks" on Israeli or Jewish targets worldwide.

On Friday, the al-Qaeda-affiliated Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) terrorist organization called on Muslims worldwide "to strike Israeli interests... everywhere and immediately." , Abu Omar Al-Baghdadi, head of the ISI, also called for "mujahideen... to strike the US enemy, which fully backs [Israeli] aggression against Gaza."

In addition, ITRR warned that acts of terrorism may target Egyptian assets, due to Egypt's failure to open Sinai to Gazan refugees.

"Lone-Wolf" Terrorist Threat ITRR analysts said there is a clear likelihood that "lone-wolf" terrorists - individuals acting on their own or in ad-hoc cells - will strike Israeli or Jewish targets around the world in response to current events in the Middle East.

One such incident already took place in Odense, Denmark, on Wednesday, when at least one attacker opened fire on a group of Israelis at a mall. Two Israelis were injured lightly and police eventually apprehended a Lebanese Arab on suspicion of involvement in the shooting. %ad%

Hamas, Fatah Call for 'Day of Rage' In a statement issued in the PA press, Hamas called for Arabs in Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem to take part in a "Day of Rage" on Friday. The Islamist organization called for demonstrations and "massive marches following Friday prayers."

Friday prayers generally draw the largest numbers of Muslims to the mosque for communal prayers. PA imams (Muslim clerics) often take advantage of the presence of large crowds and the television broadcast of sermons in certain mosques to incite hatred and violence directed against Israel and the West.

Spokesmen for the Fatah-controlled half of the Palestinian Authority echoed the Hamas call for a "Day of Rage".

Israel should threaten to erase Mecca if they come under attack worldwide

Yes, they should. It's far past time for them to take the gloves off, in their dealings with these animals.

Ahmadinejad has been saying for years that Israel is about to be blown off the map. Why shouldn't the Israelis do the same?

Israel needs for their best hawk to stand up and tell the entire Arab world that if so much as one more Jew is hurt by an Islamic terrorist, anywhere in the world, that Israel will vaporize Mendina and Mecca the same day.

In the meantime, they need to continue to flatten Gaza, until the Palis surrender unconditionally. If they fail to do this, Islamic aggression against them will only get worse, and they will suffer even greater attacks in the future.

"In addition, ITRR warned that acts of terrorism may target Egyptian assets, due to Egypt's failure to open Sinai to Gazan refugees."

The Egyptian Foreign Minister said Hizballah has declared war on Egypt.

Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the Emirates all see big problems. Them against the Syria, Iran, Palestinian proxy axis. They are very restrained in their responses to Israel's offensive.

I'd say that Israel needs to keep it simple. Bomb the hell out of every ME country that harbors any hatred toward them, and if any of the rest complain, bomb the hell out of them too.

A major geo-political shift has occurred, and the changed dynamics are not in Israel's favor. I don't see anyone coming to their aid, now that a pro-Islamic president has been elected in the US.

For Israel to stand down now, is to commit national suicide. The forces allied against them will only grow in strength and resolve over the next few years. It's already happened.

And appeasement to the Islamos has done nothing but embolden them to attack Israel with even greater ferocity, so what have they got to lose? Only their existence.

I’m an armed citizen, and I’ve lived in Northern Virginia for a few months. If there was ever an attack on a Jewish target here, you can bet your ass I’d haul my butt to the local temple to protect it. I’m not religious, but I won’t stand for Muzzies threatening the Jewish communities.

Isn’t this the third threat they’ve made this week? Did they carry out the first two? Will they carry out the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th & 10th threats yet to come?

” they need to continue to flatten Gaza, until the Palis surrender unconditionally”

Absolutely! Unconditional, humiliating surrender or death at the hands of the IDF. Suck it up, muzzies — either way you’re going down.

This threat against the Jews and Israel is as old as islam. Their inventor hated the Jews because they warned the people of Medina that he planned on sacking their city, not that they listened. He also hated dogs for the same reason in that they gave warning of his night time sneak attacks. But he hated pigs because they have cleaner hygiene and better eating habits than him and his followers.

There have been regular protests in San Francisco, also, on both sides, but the pro-Pali’s are downright scary.

I see more loss of life and property, even in SF before this is over.
