Hamas is one of three terrorist entities supported financially and ideologically by Iran, one of three permanent enemies of the United States. The other two are Putin’s Russia and Xi’s China. Not only is Hamas a terrorist fox in the bosom of Israel, it is the once and once-only elected
Great article. The shift by Biden towards Hamas is purely political calculus in that he is betting that liberal Jewish voters will not abandon the Democratic ticket while trying to hold Arab voters, especially in the swing state of Michigan.
It may well be that the entire election hinges on one factor - whether Cornel West is allowed on the Michigan ballot or else makes some deal in which he is highly compensated not to do so. West supports Hamas strongly and will pull at least 4% out of Bidens hide giving Trump the state and probably the presidency.
TY for this, Don. Another great share. This is excerpted )minus the membership business, fom a ltter that i worte to my mosques this AM. In case you are interested keep it up if you like and if nopt just delete it no harm no foul. It is your column, not mine, but i want you to hear this Muslim's perepective on HAMAS, ( as well, I agree with all you wrote) It concerns me deeply that there has not been much if any effort to "tell the truth even if it is against oneself or one's family-or in this case against a particularly egregious terrorist organization like Hamas. Not one voice have i heard doing anything but blaming Israel. Israel must account for Israel, before G-d , whom we love to call Allah. And we must go before Allah. the atrocities of October 7th were barbaric and unacceptable.
Many of the terrible hardships that the Palestinians experience are because they are caught between extreme leftist style violence on the part of their political parties , which are in effect, guerilla warriors.
This is NOT , in my educated and Islamic-religious-study based opinion (and i have been faithful Muslim for almost 4 decades) a jihad. Nor is it in any way justified. "is not the earth big /wide enough for you- that when you are cast out of a place you hould move on?)" And we are called upon to be good citizens of whatever country in which we find ourselves, so long as we are able to PRAY.
Allah is the guide. And the Palestinians have been sorely tested, but much of the hardest part comes from their own people and the international leftist global goons who encourage hatred and genocide instead of peace and understanding and stoicism with faith in Allah.
We are nor supposed to even hurt a tree in warfare, let alone kidnap, rape, kill by grotesque and hideous means or torture anyone. Ali, the mighty warrior taught us not to strike in anger when we MUST strike. The Qur'an teaches us that terrorism is entirely and completely against our faith.
And i must mention here that had we in fact lived up to our own faith practice as taught and guided by the Prophet SAWS, that the tests that the Palestinians have had to bear ay very well never have occurred, and that like Nelson Mandela, the sacrifice and the beauty of how he handled injustice would likely have earned the workd's respect as well as been so pleasing to Allah, that the course of history in the Middle east may have changed for the dramatically better, instead of the indescribably , brutally dreadfully, heartrendingly worse
And finally Please do not imagine that i do not KNOW for a fact that too many immigrants come to this nation beholden to organized crime. Organized crime is NOT compatible in any way shape or form with the faith path of Islam as it was revealed by Allah and shared with those of us who are Muslim. We as Muslims need to stop blaming others> We need to foiht the jihad pf overcoming our own anger as individual as and socio-political communities.
I want to make sure that I explain the bumper sticker that my truck is wearing, because perhaps a brother saw it and has bounced me off the communication list. So it is an anti-Hamas sticker, because i felt the need to address the silence of our community in speaking up truthfully about the atrocities to the hostages.I wish you would consider my opinion when you do speak.
Please know that
In America there are still freedoms to cherish. Here is my free speech, Let's try to protect it, and i hope you do not simply knee jerk dismiss my input. Allah is the only expert on Islam, and ALlah long ago presented me with fine study opportunity to know that tribalism anywhere is NOT our faith path.
That said my heart goes out to the Palestinian people in diaspora and the decimation of battered and bombed Gaza, and so many innocents. Their leadership has failed them and we need to acknowledge this and stop blaming Israel. but all these years of Arab and Muslim oppression if our own people and terrorism in service of nationalism and landholdings is NOT Muslim but its antithesis. It defames our faith. and injustice by Hamas and the utilization of 6 billion dollars to foment terror has reaped what it sowed.
i have llittle faith that anyone would wish to engage in conversation about this share , but I can make myself available
