[Note: December 5, 2023— I have added selected text from the original article.]

Most of the major Muslim groups across Europe refused to condemn the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel, while some actually celebrated them and many others only condemned Israel’s response instead.

Following is the introductory text from an article on the website “Focus on Western Islamism” entitled “European Islamists Ignore — or Celebrate — Hamas’s October 7 Massacre,” by Soeren Kern.  The article details the public responses of Islamist groups in the EU in general, as well as responses specifically in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, The Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.

 

[Following is SELECTED TEXT from the article.  See the actual article for the full text and supporting links.]

INTRODUCTION

Islamists in Europe have overwhelmingly come out in support of Hamas’s October 7 massacre of more than 1,200 Israelis.  That support has been expressed in different ways: explicitly approving of Hamas’s murder, rape and abduction of Israeli civilians; justifying the crimes by blaming Israel; and by remaining silent and refusing to condemn Hamas publicly.

Some Islamist groups, especially Muslim umbrella groups that benefit from public funding and are official interlocutors between Muslim communities and European governments, have flatly refused to distance themselves from Hamas and resorted to moral equivalency by staking out equidistant positions between the aggressor and the attacked.  Others have spread antisemitic propaganda by attempting to relativize or “contextualize” Hamas’s murderous rampage as a response to Israel’s existence.  Still others have issued carefully contrived and often anodyne statements that use linguistic gymnastics to claim they have condemned Hamas when they have not.

Several Islamists have expressed anger that they are being asked to publicly condemn Hamas and the antisemitism that is raging across Europe; they have described such demands as “Islamophobia.”  Many have been incapable of condemning antisemitism without also referring to Muslims as victims of racism.

Prominent Islamists, especially in France and Germany, have portrayed themselves before European audiences as sympathetic to Jews and Israel, while sending contrary messages to Muslim audiences in Arabic and Turkish.

Here is a country-by-country roundup of the responses Islamists have offered since Hamas’s October 7 attack.  FWI will add to this summary in the weeks ahead.

 

DENMARK

The Islamic Society in Denmark (Dansk Islamisk Trossamfund), an Islamist group that was instrumental in inciting worldwide protests during the 2005 Danish Cartoon controversy, called on the estimated 200,000 Muslims in Denmark to protest Israeli military action against Hamas.  Muslims in Denmark should “show Denmark that we stand with Palestine against oppression.”  In another statement, the group justified the Hamas massacre by blaming “incursions by Israeli security forces, including in the al-Aqsa mosque.”  It called on the “international community” to force Israel to “end the violence” and to “strengthen peacekeepers.”

The Muslim Joint Council (Muslimernes Fællesråd, MFR), the largest multi-ethnic Muslim umbrella group, with 40,000 members, justified Hamas’s massacre of Israelis as “the result ongoing harassment, brutality and massacres that the Palestinian people have faced in the past 70 years.”  The group referred to Israel as an “apartheid state” and called for “the immediate end of all global political support for Israel and for the Israeli army to stop the ongoing brutal ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.”

Neither the Danish Islamic Council (Dansk Islamisk Råd), a Muslim Brotherhood-linked umbrella organization that represents Sunni Muslims in Denmark, nor the associated Grand Mosque of Copenhagen (Hamad Bin Khalifa Civilization Center), publicly condemned the Hamas massacre of Israelis.

 

FRANCE

In France, which has Europe’s largest Muslim population, the French Islam Forum (Forum de l’Islam de France, FORIF), a newly launched Muslim “dialogue forum” established by the French government to fight Islamism and promote an Islam “faithful to the values of the Republic,” has had nothing to say about Hamas’s massacre of Israelis.

[The French Council for the Muslim Faith (Conseil français du culte musulman, CFCM) issued a statement suggesting] that Israel was responsible for the violence against its citizens because of the security measures it imposed on Gaza.  It declared that “abuses committed by both sides” must be condemned “with the same force.”  The CFCM also complained about global support for the Jewish state.  “Palestinian civilians do not benefit from this same solidarity and do not have this same security,” it claimed.

On November 1, the CFCM denounced an alleged “hierarchy between civilian victims” that “attempts to justify [Israeli] crimes committed against [Palestinian] civilians, including children.”

On November 8, the CFCM condemned the “increase in Islamophobic and antisemitic acts and remarks.”  It complained of an “uninhibited outpouring of hatred of Muslims on social media and in mass media.”  It criticized a nationwide protest against antisemitism “which has the exclusive objective of denouncing antisemitism without a word on Islamophobia” and can be “interpreted by Islamophobes as a sign of impunity.”

On November 12, the CFCM asserted that the “French far right is doing everything it can to import the Israeli-Palestinian conflict into France, so that the Jews of France, its former target, are torn apart with its new target, the Muslims of France.”  It added, falsely: “With all due respect to the antisemites of yesterday and today, antisemitism is prohibited by the founding texts of Islam.  The antisemites of yesterday and today do not read the Quran.”

On November 16, the CFCM issued a lengthy statement complaining about the “humane media treatment” toward Israeli victims and hostages of Hamas’s October 7 attack, and a “completely different media treatment” experienced by Palestinians.  It claimed that Gazans were being “dehumanized” because they are often referred to as “human shields,” a “metaphor that carries a scandalous message.”  According to the CFCM, Palestinians “are therefore first defined by an object of war before being human,” and the “dehumanization of a people has always been a prerequisite for the justification of the worst atrocities against them.”

…

[The Union of Islamic Organizations in France, which changed its name to Muslims of France (Musulmans de France, MF)], which represents more than 280 mosques in France, claimed that the conflict in Gaza has nothing to do with Islam.  “We refuse a religious reading of this political conflict,” it said.  In another statement, it repeated that “we insist that the Israel-Palestinian conflict is not religious in nature.”  In fact, the Hamas Charter, which calls for the complete annihilation of Israel, is based on the Islamic doctrine of jihad and the concept that once land is Muslim, that land is always Muslim.

…

Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron failed to attend a large pro-Israel demonstration in Paris on November 12.  More than 100,000 people attended the march, which protested rising antisemitism in France.  He justified his absence by saying that the president’s role is to “preserve the unity of our country” and that “protecting French people of Jewish faith” could imply “pillorying those of Muslim faith.”

Bergeaud-Blackler, the anthropologist, noted, “as far back as I can remember, the fight against antisemitism has never been against Muslims.  This propaganda, a pure product of the Muslim Brotherhood, has reached the top echelons of the French government.  This is very worrying.”

On November 14, the French weekly news magazine L’Express revealed that Macron had solicited advice from Yassine Belattar, a controversial Franco-Moroccan comedian who is widely believed to be close to the Muslim Brotherhood.  Belattar reportedly warned Macron that if he makes the “irreparable” error of attending the antisemitism protest, he would “give the neighborhoods reason to burst into flames.”  He was referring to the Muslim riots that engulfed France in June and July 2023.

 

GERMANY

…

One of the most influential Islamist groups in Germany is the Islamic Community Millî Görüş (Islamische Gemeinschaft Milli Görüş, IGMG), a neo-Ottoman political and religious movement that is close to both the Muslim Brotherhood and the Turkish government.  Millî Görüş (National Vision), which rejects secular Western values, has been outspoken in its support for Hamas.  The chairman of Millî Görüş, Kemal Ergün, justified the terrorist group’s actions by blaming Israeli “interventions” on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

On November 13, Ergün, in an interview with Camia Haber, a Cologne-based Turkish-language media outlet for Turks living in Germany, complained about the “constant expectation of a statement from Islamic organizations” condemning Hamas and antisemitism, and the “constant expectation of Muslims, from workplaces to schools, to declare a pure stance” vis-à-vis Jews.  “It is almost like a manifesto is expected.”

…

German-Turkish Islam expert Murat Kayman noted that “even on November 9” Islamist groups “failed to stand up for Jews in Germany without addressing anti-Muslim racism.”  He said that Islamists do not see antisemitism as a “problem in itself,” but only as a “backdrop for self-referential communication.”  They are interested in “portraying themselves as victims” and “drawing attention to their own concerns.”  This is “not an expression of genuine concern for the security of Jewish life in Germany” but rather the “instrumentalization of antisemitism as a communicative crutch.”

The Muslim Coordination Council (Koordinationsrat der Muslime, KRM), an umbrella group that represents six Islamist groups, issued a statement that blamed both Israel and Hamas for the violence.  Reinhard Bütikofer, a German lawmaker and Member of the European Parliament, criticized the KRM: “How can you trust people who are unwilling to call a spade a spade?”

…

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Germany (Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat Deutschland), which claims to promote a “peaceful and compassionate” version of Islam, issued a statement in which it failed to mention Hamas by name and instead claimed that Israel’s blockade of Gaza “is disproportionate and violates international law.”

…

Not one of Germany’s main Muslim umbrella groups agreed to attend a special hearing at the German Parliament on October 17, when lawmakers asked them to issue a joint statement condemning Hamas.

…

Turkish influence is clearly at play.  German-Turkish Islam expert Eren Güvercin noted that many Muslim associations in Germany are reluctant to publicly criticize Hamas because of fear of retribution from the Turkish government.  “As a critical German-Muslim voice, you end up in the crosshairs of AKP [Türkiye’s ruling party] if you describe Hamas as a terrorist organization,” he wrote.  “The anti-Jewish agitation and unconditional solidarity with Hamas terrorists has reached such an extent that not even a single critical Muslim voice is tolerated.”  Güvercin added that spies for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Germany are “reporting the commentary in Germany to Ankara in ‘press reviews.’”

Türkiye is undoubtedly fomenting hostility toward Israel in German society.  The Turkish government’s Directorate for Religious Affairs (known in Turkish as Diyanet) controls nearly 1,000 mosques in Germany.  In an October 20 speech, Diyanet chief Ali Erbaş asked “Allah” to “have mercy on our Palestinian martyrs who died under the oppression of Israel.”  He accused Israel of “perpetrating the greatest atrocities witnessed in human history in Palestine, Gaza” and alleged that the Jewish state was committing a “great crime against humanity in front of the eyes of the whole world.”

Diyanet controls the Cologne-based Turkish-Islamic Union for Religious Affairs (DITIB), one of the largest Islamist organizations in Germany.  It is frequently referred to as an “arm” of the Turkish state.  Every week, Diyanet circulates sermons that are recommended to be delivered in DITIB mosques during Friday prayer services.

On October 13, a Diyanet sermon described Israel as a “rusty dagger stuck in the heart of Islamic geography” and justified Hamas’s massacre by accusing Israel of “damaging the reputation of Jerusalem” and “violating the sanctity” of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Another Diyanet sermon, recommended for delivery in German mosques on Friday, October 20, claimed that “one of the greatest atrocities in human history is taking place today in Palestine, Gaza.”  It added that Israel was “brutally murdering innocent people, including babies, children, women and the elderly.”  Apparently alluding to Palestinians in Gaza, Diyanet called on “all of humanity to stand with the oppressed.”

 

GREECE

The Muslim Association of Greece, which claims to represent 300,000 Muslims in the country, has not issued a public condemnation of Hamas, but its leader, Naim El Ghandour, has posted copious amounts of Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood propaganda on social media.  In a Facebook post, he “salutes the Palestinian uprising against the terrorist state of Israel.”  He has organized anti-Israel events in Athens, which is home to a large Palestinian community.

 

IRELAND

The Islamic Foundation of Ireland, the official representative of the estimated 85,000 Muslims in Ireland, failed to condemn Hamas’s massacre of Israelis, but in an October 18 statement, issued together with more than two dozen Islamic associations in the country, it “strongly and unequivocally” condemned “the Israeli onslaught against the people of Palestine and the heinous assault carried out on the Al-Ahly Arab Hospital in Gaza.” The deadly explosion at the hospital was caused by a Gazan — not Israeli — missile.

The Islamic Foundation of Ireland also criticized the “unconditional support” the United States has given Israel and the “support or silence of many European countries” which allows “the occupying forces in Palestine to perpetrate such atrocities.”

 

ITALY

The Union of Islamic Communities and Organizations in Italy (L’Unione delle Comunità Islamiche in Italia, UCOII), one of the largest Muslim umbrella groups in Italy and one that has been accused of being tied to the Muslim Brotherhood, has not condemned Hamas.  In a television interview, UCOII president Yassine Lafram did criticize Hamas, but he blamed Israel for provoking the massacre.

On October 31, UCOII called for Israel to end its “genocide” of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and asked Allah to “give the Palestinian people strength to continue existing.”  On November 15, it condemned the “Islamophobic drift” on Italian television.

…

 

SPAIN

The main Islamic organizations in Spain have been silent about Hamas’ massacre of Jews and its call for global jihad.  Neither the Islamic Commission of Spain (Comisión Islámica de España, CIE), the sole interlocutor between Muslims and the Spanish government, nor its two constituent organizations, the Union of Islamic Communities of Spain (Unión de Comunidades Islámicas de España, UCIDE), the Spanish Federation of Islamic Religious Entities (Federación Española de Entidades Religiosas Islámicas, FEERI), have condemned Hamas.  “Their silence is complicit,” said Spanish lawmaker Alberto Tarradas Paneque.

On November 7, UCIDE, which represents more than 800 mosques in Spain, accused Israel of “apartheid,” “state terrorism” and “atrocious oppression.”  The statement — “Solidarity with Gaza” — falsely blamed Israel for violating “international legality” and “international humanitarian law” and called on the “international community” to force the Jewish state to declare “an immediate, lasting and sustained humanitarian truce leading to the cessation of hostilities.”  UCIDE’s statement asserted that “any fair and upright person would position themselves in defense of the oppressed and compliance with international legality.”

UCIDE’s statement was signed by its Islamist president, 75-year-old Syria-born Aiman ​​Adlbi, who was arrested in March 2021 for allegedly financing al-Qaeda militias in Syria through donations to a Turkish NGO called Al Bashaer Humanitarian Organization.  A classified police report leaked to the Spanish newspaper El País noted that Adlbi “recommends Salafi and Wahhabi authors, of the most radical currents of Islam, to his students at the Central Mosque of Madrid.”  It warned of “possible acts linked to religious fanaticism.” UCIDE’s treasurer, 61-year-old Syria-born Mohamed Hatem Rohaibani, has also been investigated for allegedly belonging to jihadist networks.

On November 15, UCIDE’s delegate to the western Spanish region of Extremadura, 60-year-old Gaza-born Adel Najjar, who is the imam of the Mosque of Badajoz (Mezquita de Badajoz), was arrested for “crimes related to jihadism” after Spanish anti-terrorism police raided his house and mosque.  Since Hamas’s October 7 massacre, Najjar has repeatedly accused Israel of committing “genocide” and “carnage against a civilian population.”

 

SWEDEN

…

The Vision Party (Visionpartiet), another Islamist party that was created by disaffected former members of the Nuance Party, is equally anti-Israel.  Party Secretary Adel Sadat justified Hamas’s massacre of Israelis because of the Israeli occupation.  “Even a cat forced into a corner will start scratching and fighting for its life,” he wrote.  Sadat described as a “terrorist state” that is committing “generational genocide” of the Palestinians.

On November 9, the Vision Party called for international sanctions against Israel “for their violence and war crimes against Palestinian civilians.”  It claimed that “what Israel is doing in Gaza is not self-defense but a genocide!”  The party proposed the interdiction of “all military deliveries to Israel from the USA that passes via EU countries.”

On October 24, Vision Party Chairman Sead Busuladzic, a Swede of Bosnian origin, complained about “an intensive campaign going on to paint black the entire Palestinian freedom movement and link all its aspects/slogans/frames with antisemitism.”  In response, the party launched its own campaign for Palestine: “Supporting Palestine is NOT antisemitism!”

On October 28, Vision Party Secretary Adel Sadat, angry about the Swedish government’s support for Israel, complained about “the Zionist lobby that is raging in Sweden” and added: “You talk about the takeover of Sweden and Swedish values by Muslims and Islam but completely ignore the Zionist infection in Sweden on all levels.”

In the center of Stockholm, representatives of Hizb ut-Tahrir, an international pan-Islamist group that seeks to re-establish the Islamic caliphate and implement sharia globally, called for jihad against Israel and the West.  During an October 15 rally at Odenplan, a large plaza in central Stockholm, Islamists repeated chants, including: “This fight is between Muslims and the rest of the world;”  “Liberation from Western domination, liberation from the Western ruler;” and “Israelis are nothing but dogs of the West.”  On October 10, Hizb ut-Tahrir held a rally at Medborgarplatsen in Stockholm during which Islamists called for death to the Jews and for full support for Hamas.

 

SWITZERLAND

…

[A board member of the The Federation of Islamic Umbrella Organizations in Switzerland (Föderation islamischer Dachorganisationen der Schweiz, FIDS) Fathima Ifthikar] complained that Muslims were being asked to condemn Hamas and the rising tide of antisemitism in Switzerland.  “This leaves a bad taste in our mouths: Why do we have to justify ourselves?  When Christians cause mischief, I do not expect my fellow Christians to distance themselves.”

…

The Islamic Central Council of Switzerland (Islamische Zentralrat Schweiz, IZRS), a Qatari-funded Salafist group whose leaders have been surveilled by Swiss intelligence agencies, has organized pro-Hamas demonstrations in Bern.  The group’s leader, Nicolas Blancho, a Swiss convert to Islam, continues to incite hatred and violence against Jews and the Jewish state.

 

This video explains that throughout the 20th century Israel has been willing to agree to fair “two state solution” agreements with the Palestinians, however such offers has always been rejected due to the Palestinians wanting to control the entire area.

[Note:  I’m not an expert on each of those potential agreements, but I’m confident that the video is accurate at least on the surface about the attempts at agreements that were made.

However very few people understand that the political Establishment has had covert control over most of Islam since the 1800’s, so the reality of those potential agreements may have been derailed somehow due to the leaders on the Islamic sides being controlled opposition such as Yasser Arafat of the PLO.

The book Hostage to Khomeini explains that the global elite (especially British elements of it) have been infiltrating the Middle East going back to 1820 using Freemasonry.  The book explains, “In the Middle East, the British have always sought out the corrupt tribal leaders and the venal clergy to lead movements whose objectives have always seemed to coincide with British objectives.  With the Muslim Brotherhood, British imperial policy was institutionalized in the form of a disciplined organization dedicated to returning the Middle East to the Dark Ages.”

The global elite find Islam to be an ideal system for controlling populations and for other nefarious reasons, so they have taken control over almost all of it through organizations such as the Muslim Brotherhood.  It is almost a certainty that it is the global elite who are behind enforcing death penalties for apostasy, as well as reinforcing all of the other violent and oppressive backwards aspects of the ideology.

Iran has even built an obvious Masonic temple for its parliament building, so there is no question about the country being controlled by the political Establishment.

In other words, the exact same people who have been forcing ridiculous “LGBTQ+” agendas such as transgenderism on Americans in public schools and elsewhere have also been executing homosexuals in parts of the Islamic world such as Iran for decades, along with all of the other oppressive Islamic policies including extreme anti-women agendas.]

An Israeli woman Noa Argamani being taken captive by Hamas militants.

Hamas had stated that their reason for taking hostages during their October 7 terrorist attacks was to use them as a bargaining chip to make Israel and Israeli authorities free all of the 5,200 Palestinian prisoners that are in its jails.

A senior Hamas leader Saleh al-Arouri told Al Jazeera on October 7, “Our detainees in [Israeli] prisons, their freedom is looming large.  What we have in our hands will release all our prisoners.  The longer fighting continues, the higher the number of prisoners will become.”

On November 25, Israel agreed to release 150 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for the release of 50 hostages held by Hamas, and large crowds of Palestinians gathered at the prison to celebrate their release.

Following is from this Washington Post article about the matter:

The majority of the people on the list are male teenagers arrested in the past two years.  None of the men on the list are older than 18.  The youngest boys included are 14.  One of the 14-year-old prisoners was arrested on charges of throwing stones and making an explosive.

There are about 30 women and girls on the list, ranging from teenagers to women in their 30s and 50s.  The oldest woman on the list is Hanan Barghouti, 59, who was arrested in connection with suspicion of supporting terrorism.  She was taken from her home near Ramallah during an Israeli raid earlier this year.

…

The people on the list are accused of crimes that range from throwing stones to attempted murder, but it is unclear how serious many of the accusations are without more information on each case.

…

Many of the women on the list are accused of carrying out stabbings, in cases that received significant media attention, partially because women make up such a small fraction of the thousands of Palestinians in Israeli prisons.

Nafoz Hamad, 15, the youngest woman on the list, was convicted of attempted murder for a stabbing in East Jerusalem that injured her neighbor.  Another woman was arrested for allegedly attacking an Israeli soldier with a pair of scissors.

…

The Israeli government has refused to release prisoners convicted of murder, but a number of people accused of attempted murder are listed.

 

Many of the Palestinian people including many children have genocidal mentalities toward Jewish people and the West, as the following videos show:

This video shows footage of children being indoctrinated for violent Jihad against Israel in the Palestinian public schools and elsewhere.  Much of the footage has been acquired by being recorded from over-the-air broadcasts of the Palestinian Authority Television.  See this link for its video page.

This is footage of Palestinians celebrating when learning about the 9/11 attacks which killed thousands of Americans.  Also see this article which explains that much more of such footage has been suppressed by the AP.

 Similar situations of leftist militants in Nicaragua taking hostages to free violent prisoners

Hamas taking hostages to exchange for prisoners is similar to what Sandinista Communist militants did in Nicaragua in the 1970’s, where they took a Christmas party hostage that was attended by many high ranking government officials, and later they took the entire Nicaraguan Congress of 1,500 people hostage.  In both cases they demanded the release of convicted Sandinista felons who later returned with the militants to wreak suffering on the people of Nicaragua after the Sandinistas took power.

Anastasio Somoza, the popular democratically elected president of Nicaragua at the time, wrote about how he dealt with those situations in his memoirs “Nicaragua Betrayed.”  I HIGHLY RECOMMEND READING both the full summaries of the chapters that explain each of those events.  This link is the summary of the situation of the terrorists taking the Christmas party hostage, and this link is the summary of the terrorists taking the Nicaraguan Congress of 1,500 people hostage.

Following is some of what Somoza wrote in the chapter about the Nicaraguan Congress being taken hostage:

The prisoners, whose release was demanded, were all convicted felons, each one of them had been tried in an open court of law and found guilty.  Their crimes ranged from murder to assault with a deadly weapon.  The fact that the terrorists could come up with only fifty-nine names should have surprised the world.  According to so many press reports from the Sandinistas, we had thousands of political prisoners.  I tried to explain the magnitude of that lie but until the terrorists submitted their written list, I was not successful.  All of the prisoners named were alive and in good health.  This is also contrary to certain press reports and claims by the Sandinistas.  Remember, my government had been accused of torturing and killing political prisoners.  That was one more ploy used by the Communists and my other political enemies to inflame public opinion against me.

Now that the Communists are in control of Nicaragua, there should be no political prisoners and there should not be torturing and killing.  On this one issue, Dan Rather, Mike Wallace, Alan Riding, and Karen De Young should have a field day.  As I have already shown, some three thousand men, women, and children of Nicaragua have been tortured and killed since the Sandinistas assumed power.  These crimes are a matter of record but the “bleeding heart” press says nothing.  Additionally, over eight thousand men and women are political prisoners.  Their number is so great that many are exposed to the elements and all of them are on a starvation diet.  What a difference!

…

The terrorists and criminals received a hero’s welcome in Panama and Venezuela.  They were wined, dined and treated as celebrities.  Pastora, the leader of the Communist terrorists, was honored with a special meeting with President Carlos Andres Perez.

… What we had been through in Managua, I thought, represented a complete breakdown of international law and order.  I knew that so long as terrorists, airline highjackers, and international law violators had a safe haven, these crimes would continue.  The fact that the Managua terrorists had two countries which welcomed them made me angry inside.  Cuba, of course, would have made three countries, but Cuba takes criminals from anywhere.  Panama and Venezuela were looked upon as civilized countries and, yet, they not only welcomed the terrorists, they aided and abetted a criminal cause.

In chapter 13 of the book Somoza explains that many of the Sandinistas were trained by the PLO:

Most of the leaders of the offensive were trained in Cuba, Panama, and by the PLO, and usually the leaders escaped.  Somoza says, “When it appeared the Guardia Nacional would win, they followed a well-established routine.  They would tell the local Sandinistas they were going for reinforcements and then they would never come back.  On foot, they would generally make their way to Costa Rica or Honduras.”

In chapter 16 it is explained that the Sandinistas were using a tactic they learned from the PLO:

The invading forces were using a technique that the Nicaraguans were not familiar with which may have been taught by the PLO in the Middle East, which was cutting holes in the sides of buildings they occupied to fire out from which allowed them to move from one building to another without exposing themselves.  Somoza explains a tragic situation where it was decided that a police headquarters that was surrounded needed to be abandoned, and from the time the troops started their evacuation to the time they arrived in another city they were completely exposed, with most being gunned down along the way due to the attackers having the protection of the walls.

(Note that the PLO is claimed to be a Palestinian “adversary” of Hamas, however the PLO’s involvement in the Communist overthrow of Nicaragua demonstrates how it is controlled by the political Establishment just as Hamas is.)

A screenshot from the article on a pro-Islam website.

An Israeli mother who was reported to be a hostage of Hamas with her daughter for 49 days in Gaza was elated about the apparent interfaith dialog she had with the terrorist group while they were detained, where she wrote a “thank you letter” to them saying, “I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your extraordinary humanity shown towards my daughter, Emilia.”

Danielle and Emilia Aloni were among 24 Israeli hostages that were released by Hamas on November 24.  They were captured while visiting Danielle’s sister and her family at a Kibbutz in southern Israel before they were taken hostage.

The armed wing of Hamas called Qassam Brigades shared the letter on its official telegram account on November 27.

The handwritten letter in Hebrew was posted along with an Arabic translation and a photograph of the mother and daughter.

The woman additionally said the following in the letter, which I believe is either some sort of a pro-Hamas publicity stunt or it is indicative of the woman suffering from Stockholm Syndrome:

“She (Emilia) acknowledges feeling like all of you are her friends, not just friends, but truly beloved and good.”

“Thank you for the many hours you spent as caregivers.”

“Children should not be in captivity, but thanks to you and other kind people we met along the way, my daughter felt like a queen in Gaza.”

“In the long journey we have been on, we have not met anyone who has not been kind to her, you have treated her with kindness and compassion.”

“I will remember your kind behaviour shown in spite of the difficult situation you faced and the severe losses you suffered here in Gaza.”

“I wish in this world we could truly be good friends,”

“I wish you all health and well-being… health and love to you and your families’ children.”

On October 7, 2023 Hamas invaded Israel in a massive terrorist attack (link), killing and sometimes raping and beheading many hundreds of Israelis while the group was taking hostages.  See this article that details many of the atrocities that were committed.

Contrary to Mrs. Aloni’s admiration for her captors, many more believable reports exist that detail mistreatment at the hands of the terrorists (link, link, link, and link).

Hundreds of students rampaged through the halls of the Hillcrest High School in the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens, New York on November 20, 2023, after they discovered that a Jewish teacher had attended a pro-Israel rally, making her hide in a locked office while they tried to push their way into her classroom.

Students saw the teacher’s Facebook profile photo showing her at a pro-Israel rally on October 9 where she was holding a sign that said “I stand with Israel,” which prompted the students to organize what they called a “pre-planned protest”—  where they rampaged through the halls for two hours while chanting, shouting, damaging school property, and waving Palestinian flags and banners.

Jamaica, Queens has a large Muslim population (link), and it is also where the extremism-linked Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) is located (link, link, and link).

Students recorded the rioting and posted videos of it online, with some of it set to Arabian music.  Some of the videos also showed a picture of the teacher.  Most of the comments on the videos applauded the rioters, such as calling her a “cracker ass bitch.”

The students also discovered her personal information such as where she lives and her phone number, and a student at the school claimed that students were calling her and leaving hostile messages.

The clips also showed damage that was caused to the school, such as a water fountain that was ripped out of the wall in the hallway and shattered tiles in the men’s bathroom.

The NYPD sent dozens of police to the scene as well as a counterterrorism task force.

The police eventually escorted the teacher out of the building, and students were reported as saying that she was followed and spat on, but that was disputed by a teacher.

A week before the riot, the students were also recorded beating a security guard, which has been revealed by a New York City Council woman Vickie Paladino, who stated that the school had been attempting to cover up that situation as they had been trying to cover up the rioting incident.

(Updated November 28, 2023:) A video of Israeli children singing a genocidal song advocating for “annihilating everyone in Gaza” was uploaded to the “X” (formerly Twitter) account of an Israeli national broadcaster Kann News, and it was deleted soon after it was posted due to a massive backlash.

I believe that it is possible that the people who posted the video were aware of the backlash that it would create, where perhaps it may have been posted by the political Establishment with a motivation of “leveling the playing field” by trying to create a false impression that typical Israelis act that way, in order to help ensure that many Western leftists and others continue to rally behind Islam and against Israel.

For example, I saw the video featured in a debate about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, where it was shown as a supposed example of the hostile nature of Israelis.

In any event I think it is likely that the video was at least created with genuine intent, since many Israelis do have hawkish attitudes due to the country constantly being bombarded with terrorist attacks, such as random missiles being sent from Gaza as well as waves of suicide bombers occurring in the past.

Nonetheless it is not common for average Israelis to behave as those girls do, as opposed to the situation in Palestine where children are systematically indoctrinated for jihad in their schools and elsewhere, such as by their textbooks glorifying suicide bombers and their textbooks not even showing Israel existing on maps, as is explained in this video.

Regardless of the motivation for posting the video, the following facts are true:

1. Unknown to most Jewish people and Muslims, all sides of the current Israel-Palestine conflict (including Hamas) is controlled by the few Illuminati global political elite, where the conflict is being implemented in order to forward the elite’s nefarious long-term agendas (link), including an agenda of continuing to import large amounts of often hostile and incompatible Muslims into Western countries (link).  Essentially all of Islam, including radical Islam, is covertly controlled by the few global elite individuals (link, and link).

2. As a part of the elite’s agenda of “divide and conquer,” they want mainstream left wing activists (and the various antisemites among the right wing) to rally behind Islam— despite the fact that the Palestinians were the aggressors in the October 7 conflict in a massive horrific terrorist attack, and despite the fact that the Islamic culture is always against gays and often executes homosexuals (link), and despite the fact that the Islamic culture is always oppressive to women (link).  Therefore most leftists need to be tricked into supporting Islam through the true nature of the ideology being concealed and Palestinians being made to seem as purely innocent victims in the conflict.  (Ultimately the Palestinians are victims of the few global elite just as everyone else is including average Israelis, but that is not at all apparent on the surface and the Establishment wants naive leftists to think the terrorist actions of Hamas are not serious or they are somehow justified.)  The political Establishment makes use of its control over Islam as a weapon (link), so it works hard to conceal the true nature of the ideology— with its true nature being the fact that conformity to its oppressive ideologies are enforced with intimidation and violence, often even including the death penalty (link).

(Updated November 28, 2023:)  In this video, Wid Lyman from BorderHawk.news explains how pro-Palestinian protests are being orchestrated by the political Establishment.  [Note: Many of the leftist protesters that are spoken about in this video are ridiculously supporting Hamas and by extension its atrocities.  In other words they are advocating to kill Jews, including with their “from the river to the sea” chants.]

 

In this video, Itamar Marcus of Palestinian Media Watch (link, and link) explains that the supposedly “moderate” West Bank Palestinian Authority had issued an edict to be preached to Muslims on October 19, where it advocated for the extermination of all Jews by citing the following passage from the Islamic Hadith: “The hour will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and the Muslims kill them, until the Jew hides behind the stones and the trees and the stones or the trees say ‘O Muslim, O servant of Allah, this is a Jew behind me, Come and kill him.’”  (The video is a part of this CBN article talking about that issue among other topics.)

3. It is well-known that Palestinian children are systematically indoctrinated in their schools and elsewhere to have genocidal mentalities toward Jews and Israel, as the following videos show:

This video shows footage of children being indoctrinated for violent Jihad against Israel in the Palestinian public schools and elsewhere.  Much of the footage has been acquired by being recorded from over-the-air broadcasts of the Palestinian Authority Television.  See this link for its video page.

In this video, children in a 2019 assembly at the Philadelphia branch of the MAS sing songs of Jihad and beheadings.  Also see this article about that matter.

This is one of hundreds of videos that show separate Jihadist training situations for Islamic youth.  Note that the motivation of Jihad according to Islamic writings is ultimately “offensive,” and not “defensive.”

Following are examples horrific atrocities committed by Jihadists in the 2023 Israeli-Palestinian conflict.  (Note that there are also reports of Israelis engaging in atrocities against their own people during the October 7 attacks such as shooting indiscriminately with their helicopters, which I will report about in the future.)

— This article shows a video of the aftermath of a horrific attack on a woman that occurred during the October 7 attacks.

— This article explains that the IDF showed the foreign press 43 minutes of Hamas bodycam videos and photos of murder, torture, and decapitations from Hamas’s October 7 attacks, and it explains that they are not releasing the footage to the public out of respect to the families.  [Note: I disagree with that policy, where I think the identities of the victims should be appropriately blurred and then released to the public.  I think it is more disrespectful to the victims and also very dangerous to not let the world know what is happening.  For example many naive leftists around the world are currently protesting in favor of Hamas!  Also very few people understand the level of casual depravity of Jihadist militants.]

— This article shows videos of children as young as ten years old taking part in the Hamas October 7 terrorist attacks against civilians in Israeli towns that are adjacent to Gaza.  It explains that Hamas has used its nearly two decades of rule over Gaza to weaponize a generation of Palestinians against the Jewish state.  Michael Milshtein, the head of the Palestinian Studies Forum at the Moshe Dayan Center of Tel Aviv University said, “Hamas directed the education system, the media, and the religious institutions to brainwash children, who make up half of Gaza’s 2.2-million-person population, … Israelis got their first up-close look at this Palestinian Gen Z on Oct. 7.”

— This recent report explains that two men in the West Bank were executed by a cheering mob due to being accused of spying for Israel, where their legs were cut off and their bodies were then discarded in a pile of trash.

Here is a summarized overview of the global elite’s plan for a New World Order, with links to supporting information.

[Note: November 20, 2023— I have updated this information and I will continue to do so in the future.]

The SOURCE of the New World Order:  The global elite are about 300 families that own the world’s central banks, who over time have covertly gained control over almost all of the countries and politicians in the world.  Those central banks create the money that the countries of the world use, where the bankers loan the money to the countries and charge interest for it.  (link, and link)

The GOALS of New World Order:  The global elite are working to bring about a world government that will be a totalitarian “post-industrial feudal system,” involving the destruction of nationhood, regional identities, religions, and traditional family structures; where almost all of the people on the Earth are planned to be mixed together, impoverished, dumbed down, depopulated, and made to be as dependent on the global elite as possible in a permanent underclass.  (link, and link)

Key MECHANISMS that the elite use include:  

Their control of the media.  (link)

Their implementation of controlled opposition activists.  (link)

Their control of sports and entertainment celebrities.  (link)

Their use of fraudulent voting machines.  (link)

Their use of secret societies such as Freemasonry.  (link, link, and link)

Their covert control of the world’s major religions.  (link, link, link, and link)

Their creation and control of organizations such as the UN (link, link, and link), the EU (link), the CFR (link, and link), the Royal Institute of International Affairs, the World Economic Forum, and the Bilderberg Group (link).

Their owning the world’s intelligence agencies such as the British MI-6, the CIA, and Israel’s Mossad.

Key MEANS of the elite include:  

Their fomenting pointless wars where they secretly control all sides of the conflicts.  (link, link, and link)

Their engaging in false flag attacks in order to deceive the public into supporting agendas such as going to war and giving up their rights.  (link)

Their unleashing diseases on the public or exaggerating the effects of diseases such as COVID in order to implement depopulation agendas, including forcing the vaccination of the populace with useless and deadly vaccines.  (link , and link).

Their lying about environmental issues such as global warming in order to create an excuse to implement oppressive international controls.  (link, and link)

Their disarming law abiding people in order to deprive them of the ability to defend themselves from non-law abiding people.  (link)

Their intentionally creating crime in order to create an excuse to implement Communist controls over the populace.  (link, and link)

Their covertly implementing Communism in the countries of the world including in the Soviet Union and China.  (link, and link)

Their employing a strategy of “dragging everyone down” by deceitfully claiming to be “bringing everyone up” in order to justify their harmful and deceptive leftist social intervention agendas.  (link)

Their forcing the immigration of often incompatible people such as Islam into Western countries.  (link, and link)

Their forcing homosexual agendas on the populace to destroy traditional morality and for depopulation agendas.  (link)

Their secret control over Islam including radical Islam which they make use of for nefarious purposes.  (link)

Their potentially causing earthquakes using tectonic weapons.  (link)

Their altering the environment using chemtrails (link) and ionosphere altering installations  (link).

The tennis player Serena Williams has been in the news recently because of the U.S. Open tournament that is happening, as well as because of an Academy Award winning movie “King Richard” that was recently made about her (“him,” actually.)  Williams has been dominating women’s tennis for the past two decades despite obviously being a man, and he has just retired from the sport.

The above video explains specifically why Williams is a man.  I can’t believe it hasn’t been apparent to just about anyone many years ago.  His opponents must have known, why didn’t they say anything about it?

The above video that was made in 2015 also explains that he is by far the most wealthy “female” tennis player, having won over $50 million dollars in prize money by that time.  All of that money and recognition would have gone to legitimate female players if he hadn’t deceptively competed against women.

Note this video is a version of the song that was not recorded at the Texas mosque.  See the Texas version of the video at this link on Twitter.

Iranian state media has been sharing a disturbing video of Muslim children at the “Houston Islamic Education Center” in Texas singing a choreographed radical Shia song “Salam Farmande” that praises Iran’s totalitarian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, where it is said that the children are singing a song of martyrdom similar to what has also been found to be occurring at other mosques in the U.S. and elsewhere.  A portion of the song not in the video also praises the deceased Iranian general Qassim Soleimani who was reported to be killed in a drone strike by U.S. forces in 2020.  The original video that was recorded in Houston was made private on YouTube on Friday afternoon.  Shia Mosques in central Asia as well as in France and Australia have also produced their own versions of children singing the song.

Among the lyrics the children sing in the video are as follows:

The love, my soul, the Imam of my time (x4)
The world has no meaning without you

…

I will be in your service
and with my short height I will be your soldier (x2)

…

I make an oath
I will be useful to you one day

…

like Ayatullah Bahjat and your like your unknown soldiers
To be your servant

…

That I will stand by the Islamic Revolution

…

Salam Commander
Greetings from this new brave, left behind generation

The original iteration of the anthem was created earlier this year in Iran, and a petition on change.org is requesting that Spotify removes the song from its platform due to it containing radical content, where it depicts Iranian children singing their allegiance to the Twelfth Imam in front of a Iranian mosque.  The Spotify video has so far received more than a million views by supporters of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The website alarabiya.net has reported that the video of the Texas children singing the anthem is being shared by Iranian state media.

A Huston Chronicle article has reported about the Texas video, where it interviews a Shia Muslim political science professor Cyrus Contractor at the University of Houston who tried to downplay the situation by saying, “Some people could see it as some kind of soft power … [with it carrying] more of a religious message than a political one.”  The article then paraphrases him saying, “It is about standing for righteousness and good against all odds — rather than recruiting actual child martyrs.”  However, contrary to that perception, videos of Islamic children singing songs of martyrdom are actually common, as is explained in this article.

The Houston Chronicle article also interviewed an anonymous Texas-based Middle East expert who explained that the song makes multiple indirect references to the Iranian Supreme Leader, and he shared links of the Houston video being shown on the state-controlled Iranian outlet Fars News, with the headline “Salam Farmandeh Went to America.”

The Housing Chronicle closes its article by saying, “The whole spat may have dried up with the removal of the video from YouTube.  But if this viral video is like any other in the 21st century, new video renditions of the viral song will likely continue to pop up around the globe.”

While the martyrdom advocated for in the above video may seem somewhat vague, other videos of Muslim children singing similar songs are more overt, as the following video demonstrates.

In this video, children in a 2019 assembly at the Philadelphia branch of the MAS sing songs of Jihad and beheadings.  [Also see this article about that matter.]

[Update: August 5, 2022— Griner has apparently been sentenced to nine years in prison, which I think is way too extreme for simply carrying some cannabis oil.  Compare that with the types of sentences given in Europe that are far too much in the other direction— for example where rapists and murderers are often only given a few years in jail.  I think Griner is annoying but in any event the sentence is way too extreme.]

The WNBA basketball player Brittany Griner who was arrested in February in Russia for carrying a vape cartridge infused with CBD is facing years in prison, where she (actually apparently “he”) has been in the news since that time being portrayed as a “political prisoner” despite the fact that anyone else would have been facing the same penalties.

Griner is known for staying in the locker room when National Anthem is played, and opposing a bill in Texas that would have required people to use restrooms and other facilities that correspond with their biological sex.

This Breitbart article explains that Joe Biden is offering a deal to trade a convicted Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout for Griner along with a corporate security executive Paul Whelan who was accused of spying and arrested in 2018.

Griner certainly appears to be a man, due to having a pronounced adam’s apple and the body proportions of a man, such as broad shoulders.

Men have a shoulder width of three heads, while women have a shoulder width of only 2 1/2 heads.  I have added red circles to this image from Wikipedia.

This screen shot from the Breitbart article linked above shows Griner’s obviously male neck and adam’s apple.  It is possible for men to have most of their adam’s apple surgically removed, but not all of it.  Many images of Griner show a very pronounced adam’s apple, which does not exist on women.
