Mahmoud Abbas / Fatah Don't Want Peace : They Are Not "Moderates"

They are not interested in or want genuine peace with Israel. contrary to how the MSM and politicians spin it, they are not "moderates".

The only difference between Fatah and Hamas is that Hamas is more honest and open regarding their true intentions.

Mahmoud Abbas and Fatah by contrast, prefer it's Phased Plan:

Rafiq Natshe [member of Fatah] : " [Hamas says] all of Palestine is ours, and we want to liberate it from the river to the sea in one blow. But Fatah, which leads the PLO, feels that a Phased Plan must be pursued. Both sides agree on the final objective. The difference between them is on the way to get there."

Abbas has just made the statement that there will not be a third Intifada. And that he wants to continue negotiations under the "Roadmap". The only reason the PLO Fatah PA signed on to the Roadmap, was because they saw how conveniently it fits in with their own Phased Plan. 

The PLO charter that calls for Israel's destruction has never been changed, despite previous promises to do so.

The PA leadership of Abbas, Fayad, Dahlan, has never publically recognized Israel's right to exist as the Jewish State.

Muhammed Dahlan, a top Fatah leader, acknowledged that the only recognition the PA makes with regards to Israel, is just to gain International financial aid.

At their recent Fatah convention in August, Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah officially endorsed the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades as it's "military wing".

Just this past week Fatah claimed responsibility for a rocket attack.

Abbas uses the same methods as Arafat. Talk peace for $ millions in financial aid, and as a tactic to gain concessions, while their ultimate objective remains the destruction of Israel. It is part of Imperialistic Islam's global political and militant jihad against the free non-Muslim world. 

 

Why Iran Must Not Be Allowed To Obtain A Nuclear Weapon

The Iranian regime led by Ahmadinejad and the Mullas of the Supreme Council, are driven by a dangerous Islamic ideology. They believe they can encourage the return of  the "Madi", their Islamic messiah, by creating a catostrophic situation.

They actually believe this Madi is hiding at the bottom of a well, a short distance from Ahmadinejad's mosque. In this excellent CBN video report you will see believers in the Madi dropping notes and letters into the well for the Madi to read. 

One youngster was even using a flashlight to see if he could spot the Madi:

So The Middle East Conflict is About Islam After All!

 Egypt's president basically acknowledged that to Peres.

"A Jew cannot even build a bathroom in Jerusalem without International condemnation"-Dov Hikind, NY Assemblyman

Israel's president Shimon Peres was in Cairo, Egypt for talks with Hosni Mubarak.

The Egyptian president, who has been Egypt's head of state for at least a quarter of a century, warned that Israel would anger all Muslims if it did not resolve what was refered to as Jerusalem's "disputed status".  

But the real kicker came when Mubarak emphasized that the future of Jerusalem is "an issue for the entire Islamic world". 

Did you get that? 

"...an issue for the entire Islamic world..."-Mubarak

That is the equivalent of acknowledging that "Islam" is the real source of the conflict. And the ME conflict as a whole by extension. And not,- an isolated regional conflict between Israel and it's Arab neighbors. As has been the narrative for many years.

As has been previously pointed out in earlier recent posts, these "conflicts" with Muslims around the world, whether the Balkans, Philippines, India, are all intertwined and stem from Islamic ideology, not isolated unrelated "regional" conflicts.

With that in mind, this from WND: 

"In defiance of President Obama's demands that Israel cease building in sections of Jerusalem and the West Bank [Judea and Samaria], New York state assemblyman Dov Hikind laid the cornerstone for the second phase of a news Jewish construction project in the Nof Tzion neighborhood in eastern Jerusalem."

"Together with Knesset Member Danny Danon, a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netnyahu's Likud party, Hikind spoke with reporters about the Jewish right to build in Israel's capital city."

 

 

 

 

Senate Committee Meeting Whitewashes Islam, Attacks Pat Robertson

In a Homeland Security Senate committee meeting, FrancesTownsend launched a verbal attack against the Rev. Pat Robertson. Describing Robertson's remarks about Islam as "ignorant and offensive":

“Islam is a violent, I was going to say religion, but it's not a religion. It's a political system". “It's a violent political system bent on the overthrow of the governments of the world and world domination. That is the ultimate aim.” -Robertson

Senator Carl Levin was equally condemning. As was U.S. General John Kean.

The truth is that Robertson's remarks were both inaccurate and spot-on accurate at the same time. According to one definition of religion,- belief in a deity to be obeyed and worshiped, Islam certainly qualifies as a religion. Just as many false cults also qualify as a religion in that sense.

Islam is different in that it is not merely "another religion", but also doubles as a dangerous, often violent, Imperialistic political ideology at the same time.

The rest of what Robertson said in regards to Islam being a violent political system bent on world domination is spot-on accurate. 

Townsend also put forth the notion that Robertson's remarks, and statements made by others critical of Islam, could have the potential of helping to "radicalize" moderate Muslims. Here we go again.

There are two serious problems with that:

First, former President Reagan and Winston Churchhill both demonstrated the importance of challenging and confronting evil political ideologies. Speaking the truth and not being intimidated out of fear of being "offensive". Some are always going to be offended by the truth.

To be sure, the Muslim co-conspirator C.A.I.R. is very offended and has been calling for Va. Governor elect Bob McDonnell to completely disavow Robertson's remarks.

There is no "moderate" Islam-Ayaan Hirsi Ali, ex-Muslim

Secondly, what is a "moderate" Muslim? Are there "moderate" Christians?

The word that should be used here is "nominal". 

In Christianity there are "nominal" Christians. They suscribe to and identify with the Christian religion. But in practice are not fully committed. A key problem associated with this is Biblical illiteracy. They don't hardly know whats in the Bible. A Barna survey reported on this.   

The same with Islam. There are many "nominal" Muslims. They identify with Islam as their religion. Many of these don't know what's in the Koran. A majority cannot read, speak, or understand Arabic. They are not fully committed.

The danger is not "moderate" Muslims becomming  "radical" Muslims.

But rather "nominal" Muslims becomming "committed" Muslims,- when they endeavor to "act" upon what's in the Islamic scriptures, that is when they pose a danger. 

With respect to Christianity, it is exactly the opposite.

Israel Does Not Occupy One Inch of Arab Land : Part Two

However, that false propaganda has succeeded in conducting an occupation the "minds" of some willfully misguided, or misinformed Americans.

Recent statements made by the former governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, may be an indication that she is not so misinformed, has not been drinking the Islamist inspired propaganda, and that she "gets it", and understands the facts:

"I disagree with the Obama administration on that," Palin told Walters. "I believe that the Jewish settlements should be allowed to be expanded upon, because that population of Israel is, is going to grow. More and more Jewish people will be flocking to Israel in the days and weeks and months ahead. And I don't think that the Obama administration has any right to tell Israel that the Jewish settlements cannot expand."

[ I don't think that the Obama Administration has any right to tell Israel that the Jewish towns and cities cannot expand

With that, Sarah Palin joins Mike Huckabee as the only high profile GOP leaders to really come out strong in defense of Israel in the face of false Arab claims, and Obama's anti-Israel pressure.

This leads to speculation it's quite possible that Palin's "support" for the two-state non-solution, which she voiced during the VP debate with Joe Biden, was really McCain's supplied answer, and not "Sarah's".

Those who falsely maintain that Israel is occupying "Arab land", are also the loudest voices screaming against Israeli's right to live and build within their own "ancestral domains" liberated from foreign occupation in June of 1967.

A common argument put forward by the anti-Israel lobby, such as J-Street, in regards to Judea and Samaria is this:

"With conquered territory comes the responsibility for it's people,

 [ including Arabs who sought to destroy Israel]. Either grant them full citizenship, or you must give them a state."

That is where much false propaganda stems from: 

In June of 1967, Israel won a war of self-defense. Not a war of "conquest".

Syria, Jordan, and Egypt once again joined forces in another attempt to conquer and destroy Israel, and drive the Jews into the sea. They lost. 

Like in 1948, like at the Battle of Tours, like at the Gates of Vienna, the would-be-conquerers were defeated and pushed back.

In the process, land that had been under various foreign occupations, including illegal Arab occupation, were restored to Israel. Land and territories accurrately, and historically understood as the "ancestral domains" of the Jewish people. Going back 3500 years.

Just as all of Spain was eventually restored following successful defeats of  Imperialist Islam.  

Even if the claim of Israeli occupation were true, it would be an absolutely legal occupation. Just as it was absolutely legal for the Allies to occupy Nazi Germany after the horrible war of conquest Hitler launched.

The Myth of "Moderate" Fatah

At their convention this past August, Mahmoud Abbas and his Fatah faction of the PLO officially endorsed a recognized terrorist organization as the "military wing" of Fatah. The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade.

These jihadists have been responsible for gruesome "jihad in the way of Allah" suicide bombings. They also openly serve in Abbas PA security services.

Some of them have also bragged about the military training they recieved courtesy of your U.S. tax dollars and General Keith Dayton. Gen Dayton, an American version of Glubb Pasha. 

A top Fatah leader, Muhammad Dahlan, acknowledged that Fatah has never recognized Israel's right to exist.

Abbas and Fayad's Fatah supporters held a rally in Ramallah praising Samir Kuntar as a hero. Kuntar is the Lebanese Hizbullah linked terrorist who crushed the skull of a four year old girl with a rifle butt. Among other atrocities.

Fatah has also demonstrated in support of the  president of Sudan who has been indicted on charges of genocide against the southern Sudanese Christians. 

The Fatah, which runs the Palestinian Authority, thinks he's a good guy.

These are the "moderates" the MSM, politicians, and diplomats falsely portrays as a "peace partner" for Israel.

Sixth Fatah Congress: The Myth of Moderation:

"The media has long promoted Fatah--in contrast to Hamas--as the party of Palestinian moderates seeking peace with Israel, while glossing over evidence to the contrary."

Video: Fatah has "never" recognized Israel:

 

Return To Pre-'67 Borders will bring more Jihad Terror,-not Peace

The Foreign Minister of Israel, Avigdor Lieberman, understands the nature of the threat against Israel and it's root cause. And he is not given to political correctness on this matter.

The following statements were made by Lieberman at the Saban forum according to Israeli media:

"A return to the pre-1967 lines, with a Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria, would bring the conflict into Israel's borders"

[ And also be interpreted as a victory for Islam and jihad terrorism, that's what happened when Israel left Gaza.]

"Establishing a Palestinian state will not bring an end to the conflict"

 

[ That's the truth!]

"If a Palestinian state were established in Judea and Samaria, Israeli Arabs would demand autonomy in the Galilee and the Negev and would build stronger bonds with the Palestinian Authority. "

[ Now that's using the brain and thinking ahead!]

The recent Israeli national election results have shown that a majority of Israelis have awakened to the reality that the politics of appeasement don't work. Especially not where Islam is concerned.

The real cause of the conflict: Islam

Despite the cold hard facts many think-tank experts, politicians, media, and diplomats continue to dwell in the fantasy realm of  "moderate Abbas and Fatah". They are no moderates.   

 

Al-Azhar Islamic University: Indoctrinator of Jihadists and Obama Speech Platform

The Islamic terrorist responsible for plotting the first WTC bombing, blind Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, held a degree and once taught as a professor at the Al-Ahzar school in Cairo, Egypt.

This is the same Islamic university Obama made his speech from to the Moslem world.

The same school attended by Salamat Hashim, founder of the jihadist terror group in the Philippines, the Moro National Liberation Front [MNLF]. Who would later break from that Islamist outfit and start another called the Moro Islamic Liberation Front [MILF]. 

Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch has an article about how the curriculim at Al-Azhar university encourages terrorism. 

Other famous alumni of Cairo's Al-Ahzar Islamic school:

Sheikh Yousef Al-Qaradawi,-- born in Egypt, based in Qatar. A supporter of jihad suicide bombings. Involved in the Muslim Brotherhood, from which came Hamas and Al-Qaeda.

Ayman Al-Zawahiri, a pal of UBL.

But wait, there is some good news:

A former alumni of the Al-Azhar Islamic school goes by a different name now for reasons that are obvious:

"Mark Gabriel" was an Egyptian born Muslim. A student of Islamic culture and studies at the Al-Azhar Islamic school in Cairo. He eventually became an Imam at a local Egyptian mosque.  

Today he is a born-again Christian, a former Muslim and expert on Islam. In a book he wrote a few years back, "Jesus and Muhammad", he described a classroom exchange of words he had with Omar Abdel Rahman. One of his instructors at Al-Azhar:

In front of the whole class Mark Gabriel stood up and asked the sheikh this question:

" Why is it that you teach us all the time about jihad? What about the other verses in the Quran that talk about peace, love, and forgiveness?" 

The sheikh responded and obviously angered by the question:

"There is a whole surah called  'Spoils of War'. There is no surah called 'Peace'. Jihad and killing are the head of Islam. If you take them out, you cut off the head of Islam." -Omar Abdel Rahman

Philippine Islamists Using the PLO Abbas / Arafat Game-Plan

In the previous post the dots were connected between the Arab League's creation of the PLO, "Palestine Liberation Organization" in 1964, and the founding of the MNLF, Moro National Liberation Front in the Philippines.

A Filipino Islamist, Salamat Hashim, spent several years living in Egypt between 1959-69. He was very politically active at Cairo's Al-Azhar Islamic university. And so was blind Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, who masterminded the first WTC bombing in 1993. This was also the same Islamic school Obama made his speech from to the Muslim world.

[Read the interview with this terrorist here.] 

At the time the Arab League headquarters were based in Cairo, Egypt. 

Prior to the Arab League creation of the PLO in 1964, the Nazi Islamist Mufti, Hajj Amin al-Husseinei , who fled to Egypt after Nazi Gemany's defeat, was instrumental in creating the "Arab Liberation Army". The forerunner of what would be scores of Islamic jihad terror organizations incorporating the word "Liberation" into their terror groups official name. Part of the propaganda. And no doubt a major influence on the Filipino Islamist, Salamat Hashim.

Arafat was a great admirer of the Nazi Mufti.

In 1969 Salamat Hashim returned to the Philippines to organize and launch his "jihad in the way of Allah" terror group the MNLF. That same year Arafat became head of the PLO.

There is no doubt that Islamic political and religious ideology centered in Cairo, Egypt played a major influence in the founding of both jihad terrorist organizations.

Salamat Hashim would later break from the MNLF to form another jihad group called the MILF, Moro Islamic Liberation Front. 

In 1974, at a meeting in Cairo, the PLO adapted it's "Phased Plan" strategy for the destruction of Israel and replacing it with "Palestine". It remains their playbook and terrorist game-plan:

This terrorist game-plan involves using political negoitiations [a "peace process"] and propaganda as tactics, to gain territorial concessions and international legitimacy, while continuing, but not acknowledging the use of terrorism.

And while not abandonong their ultimate jihadist objective of a complete Islamist takeover. 

The Moro Islamic Liberation Front, MILF, in the Philippines, is using this same terrorist game-plan:

Engaging in political negotiations [peace talks] and propaganda as tactics to gain international legitimacy and territorial concessions, while continuing, but not acknowledging, the use of jihad terrorism:

Not long after Arafat recieved his Nobel "Peace" award, the IDF recovered documents in Arafat's own handwriting, allocating financial awards to Fatah Islamists who had carried out terror attacks on innocent Israeli civilians.

Arafat was famous for making public statements condeming terror,

[expected by the international community--he wanted that 'aid money'], while plotting terror in secret.

Abbas, succeeding Arafat to the head of the PLO and Fatah run PA, has continued this same double-speak and game-plan.

Recently an Irish priest was abducted by Islamists in the Philippines. This has been a terror tactic by Filipino Islamic terror groups. Ransom money the terror groups recieve in exchange for release of hostages, helps finance their jihad.

We are joyful that he has been released unharmed. The government of the Philippines has suspected that MILF was involved in the abduction. Publically, the MILF denies it.

Is it just coincidence that the Irish priest was released just prior to Clinton's visit?

The Irish priest was "found" and returned safely by MILF members. But as this report from Philippine news points out, the MILF won't say anything about "who" the abductors were.

Also to be noted, is that serveral abduction hostages in the past have been released, coincidentally with the visit of some international official:

"The MILF refused to discuss who Sinnott’s abductors were, and insisted that their “help" in securing the priest’s release was for humanitarian reasons."

“The MILF did help for humanitarian reason and as a government partner in the peace process in Mindanao," MILF vice chairman for political affairs Ghadzali Jaafar said on Church-run dzRV Radio Veritas."

"Jaafar refused to comment when asked what group was behind Sinnott’s abduction."

"Interior Secretary Ronaldo Puno earlier claimed that the MILF was behind the abduction. Armed Forces spokesman Lt. Col. Romeo Brawner Jr. also said the government still suspects the MILF was behind Sinnott's abduction. “Ang paniniwala namin ay MILF (We believe it was the MILF)," he said in an interview on dzBB radio."

Meanwhile Obama is supposed to meet with Philippine President Arroyo at the Asia/Pacific Economic Summit in Singapore:

"President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo is expected to bring to US President Barack Obama's attention the peace process between the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) when they meet in Singapore next week."

"Deputy presidential spokesman Gary Olivar on Sunday said the one-on-one meeting could happen at the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Singapore on Nov. 14 and 15."

Like Obama's "sideline meeting" at the UN between Israeli Pime Minister Netanyahu and the PLO's Abbas?

 

 

 

Israel Does Not Occupy One Inch of Arab Land!

The leaders of the free-West need to wake up and realize that the Islamist demand for a "Palestinian" state, in the heart of Israel's Judea and Samaria, is part of Imperial Islam's strategy to subjugate and bring the non-Muslim world into submission to Islam. 

Just as the Islamist demand for a " Bangsamoro" state in the southern Philippines is also a part of this same global jihad.

This is the Islamist strategy. Once Muslims attain a small, but significant, percentage of the population in a non-Muslim country, then they start both political and militant jihad campaigns demanding concessions of territory. 

In regards to what is refered to as the Arab-Israeli Conflict, see the post entitled  The Islamic Conquest, Occupation, and Colonization of the Middle East. 

The word "Bangsamoro" means "Muslim State". "Moro" comes from the Spanish "Moor", meaning Muslim.

There has never been a "Muslim State" called Bangsamoro. Nor has there ever been a state called "Palestine." There are no Bangsamoro people, and there has never been a Palestinian people. In both cases, these are modern politically contrived terms to augment false Islamist propaganda.

The silver-lining to Spanish Imperialism in the South Pacific, was that it helped check Imperial Islam's advance. After the conclusion of WWII, the Philippines were granted independence.

Since the early 1970's the Islamists have been renewing the jihad in the South Pacific.

Some background:

Information from an interview with Salamat Hashim, founder of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front , published in Nida'ul Islam, on Islam.org.au in 1998:

Salamat Hashim, a Filippino Muslim, traveled to Cairo, Egypt in 1959 and became a student at the well known Al-Azhar Islamic school. The same university school Obama made his speech from to the Muslim world. 

Hashim spent ten years from 1959-69 as a student involved in various programs of study. He was involved in the Philippine Muslim Student Association. It was in Egypt that Hashim was exposed to the writtings of Sayed Qutb and Sayed Abdul A'la Maududi.

Salamat Hashim was deeply immersed into  Islamic religious and political activity in Cairo.

In 1964 the Arab League and Egypt created the "Palestine Liberation Organization"

"It was conceived at a Cairo Summit by the Arab League at the behest of Egyptian President Nasser in 1964. The Palestinian Liberation Organization first convened in Jerusalem on May 29th, 1964."

'On June 2nd the PLO announced: "The right of the Palestinian Arab people to its sacred homeland Palestine and affirming the inevitability of the battle to liberate the usurped part from it, and its determination to bring out its effective revolutionary entity and the mobilization of the capabilities and potentialities and its material, military and spiritual forces." It was a declaration of holy war.'

The first chairman of the PLO was Lebanese born Ahmed Shukeiri. His mother was Turkish. Shukeiri also served as a Syrian representative to the UN. He was head of the PLO from 1964-67.

It is important to understand that when the PLO was created by Egypt and the Arab League in 1964, --Judea and Samaria [West Bank], the Golan Heights, Gaza, and eastern Jerusalem were all under Arab Islamic occupation.

Syria occupied the Golan Heights. Jordan occupied Judea, Samaria, and eastern Jerusalem. Egypt occupied Gaza and the Sinai penninsula.

The PLO was not created to "liberate" lands already under Arab Islamic occupation, but rather as a means to destroy the Jewish Homeland of "pre-June 1967 borders. And that remains the objective of Mahmoud Abbas and his PLO Fatah Palestinian Authority today.

This needs to be pointed out because many of the misinformed are under the mistaken notion that the PLO was created as a result of the Six Day War.

Yasser Arafat became chairman of the PLO IN 1969.

Arafat was born, raised, and brought up in Cairo, Egypt. His parents had moved from Gaza to Egypt. Not as refuges, but as immigrants.

Egypt was Arafat's national background.

After Israel's victory in the 1967 Six Day War, the Arab Muslim world realized it could not destroy Israel militarily in the conventional sense.  So it turned to terrorism, and the use of false propaganda to convince world leaders to pressure Israel to engage in policies of appeasement, and withdraw to the indefensible borders of pre-1967.

In 1969 Salam Hashim left Egypt and returned to the Philippines. Together with other Islamists he founded the Moro National Liberation Front and began their military "jihad in the way of Allah" in the southern Philippines . Later, he separated from that jihadist group to start another jihad group called the Moro Islamic Liberation Front in 1976.

At this point I would encourage readers to see a previous post entitled "When They Say Liberation--They Mean Subjugation".

In 1974 the PLO adapted it's Phased Plan strategy. 

According to this Islamist strategy, through a combination of terrorism and the solicitation of external political pressure, the PLO seeks to destroy Israel in "stages" or "phases".

 Abbas Zaki, Palestinian Authority representative in Lebanon, has recently reaffirmed the PLO Fatah's commitment to the Phased Plan. 

Both Israelis and Filipinos deplore the terrorism and bloodshed and yearn for true genuine peace. The yearning desire for peace and security has been the catalyst for both governments to engage in policies of appeasement for the hope and "promise" of peace. 

Both have been decieved and misled.

The Philippine government signed the Tripoli Agreement on Peace in 1976. Like Oslo, it was an Islamic "Trojan Horse".

Like Oslo, the Tripoli Agreement on Peace bestowed legitimacy to  jihad terrorists. It also made concessions of land, and granted Islamic "autonomy" over those lands and villiages in the southern Philippines:

"The establishment of Autonomy in the Southern Philippines within the realm of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of the Philippines."

In 1989 the Philippine government agreed to and created the ARMM.

"Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao"

The Oslo Accords created the PA: Palestinian Authority.

That's what Oslo did. It gave Islamists autonomy within the heart of Israel in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza.

Are you connecting the dots yet?

In other words, these are not isolated regional conflicts unrelated. In both cases, the Islamist demand for "Bangsamoro" in the Philippines, and Islam's push for "Palestine" in the heart of Israel's Judea and Samaria, are the result of Islamic political and religious ideology. An "imperialistic" ideology.

In 1996 Israel agreed to the Wye River memorandum. This agreement expanded the area of autonomy for the Palestinian Authority. Among the towns and areas given over to Fatah Palestinian Authority were Bethlehem and parts of Hebron. 

In 2001 the Philippine government agreed to "expanded" autonomy for the ARMM. 

In June of 2002, the Quartet began pushing the Two-State non-Solution "Roadmap" down Israel's throat. The reason why the PLO Palestinian Authority agreed to the Roadmap was because they saw how conveniently it played in to their own Phased Plan.

Since 2001 the Philippine government has come under pressure to agree to the MOA-AD:

"Memorandum of Agreement on the Ancestral Domain..."

This would basically lead to the creation of a full Muslim State with even more expanded territory.

This is not just happening with Israel and the Philippines. There are gobal Islamist jihads for land and territory taking place around the world.

Kosovo, Bosnia, India, Thailand. The illegal Turkish occupation of northern Cyprus continues.

To be continued in additional posts.
