Hamas on Parade
SteynonLine ^ | February 21, 2025 | Mark Steyn

I haven't really had anything new to say about the "Palestinians" in a quarter-century, but I have to admit that, even by their own impressive standards, yesterday's Dead-Babypalooza took Pallie depravity to the next level. My friend (and a favourite Steyn Show guest) Yasmine Mohammed:

Hard for me to wrap my head around the grotesque spectacle in Gaza today, let alone find the words. Something in me broke today. My unwavering commitment to compassion and empathy, my hopeless optimism- it's all shattered. I'm done. I shared my father's voice and his wish and his... — Yasmine Mohammed 🦋 ياسمين محمد (@YasMohammedxx) February 20, 2025

The post-9/11 joke was that the "radical" Muslim wants to saw your head off; the "moderate" Muslim wants to watch him do it. Yesterday Macy's (Gaza Branch) Parade was a grimly literal illustration of the gag. As I wrote two decades ago on page 85 of my boffo bestseller America Alone:

One is tempted to update the old joke: A ten-dollar bill is in the center of the crossroads. To the north, there's Santa Claus. To the west, the Tooth Fairy. To the east, a radical Muslim. To the south, a moderate Muslim. Who reaches the ten-dollar bill first?

Answer: The radical Muslim. All the others are mythical creatures.

And so it goes. The baby-killing observances came with the connivance of the Red Cross, whose Palestinian office had never visited these hostages until they came to collect the coffins, and the world's media, strangely reluctant to devote one-thousandth of the time to analysing these scenes as they did to, say, Elon Musk's two-second twitch of his right arm.

Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia: "What we saw today in Gaza is a disgrace to Islam, an act of blasphemy against Allah."

There's not enough 'finery' in the world to clean up the image of Arabs after Hamas baby killers parade their evil before the 'rest of us' - first world countries... The Arab world needs to wake up - - they're being painted with the same brush as the baby killers.

I’m with you. I don’t think there’s a way to change these people.

Flatten Gaza
The Arab world knows the “Palistinians” are evil, they have been thrown out of several countries (Arab). Not one country will allow them in.
Start at the border and move to the sea.
Make them swim.

Not an Arab, but I think the Arab world has been aware of the true nature of ‘Palestinians’ for a long time. That’s why no Arab country will take them in. Jordan, created for the Arabs of Palestine, kicked them out years ago.

Wake me when they issue fatwahs against Hamas.

Not holding my breath.

Along with their supporters. 70% of gazans voted them into power and then cheered on Oct7. Eff ‘em all.

During the Brit empire there was a group in India called Tsuggies. Their theory was that they’d go to heaven depending on how many unbelievers they strangled. The Brits wiped them out, twice.

So, yeah, obliterate hamas. Then, wait 10-15 years to do the same to their children. Don’t forget the Brit Southport knifer who murdered 6 people. He was the Brit-born kid of parents who went thru the Rwanda terror. Probably raised to hate everyone else.

Thank God Biden is gone. His people would have him “air-lift” these people to the USA, provide housing and income, and counseling since their “pope” just declared their actions as “blasphemous to Allah”.

Biden would give them money through USAID so they could build a new “MECCA” in the USA!!

“I don’t think there’s a way to change these people.”

Changing them from alive to dead works for me.

______________

I believe you’re referring to the Thugees and the infamous Thugee garrote.

Do not equate Arabs to Hamas.

Do you allow snake handlers in your church on Sunday mornings? Do you admire those who handle rattlesnakes in church or drink poison?

I don’t think it’s just Hamas, I think it’s all the “Palestinians.” They’re a brainwashed, blood-thirsty group.

Why are there no moderate muslims? Because the radical muslims have murdered all the moderates too.
