Twisted Zakaria compares Genocidal “Palestinians” [Hamas] to IRA
He just spinned on CNN, about his anti Israel column in the lefty ‘Washington Post’ (damning Netanyah, who was cheered at in Congress) answering to Elliot Spitzer (The Arena) about Israel's reservation not to negotiate with the Palestinian Arabs that have just joined “unity” Fatah-Hamas, as Hamas is a terrorist organization committed to violence, Fareed’s answer was, so was the IRA...
Not mentioning the vast difference between a small group of terror VS the Palestinians who are committed to annihilation of Jews under Islamic banner and under Arabism, from the Mufti in the 1920s through Arafat and through Hamas’ on declarations.
Some examples:
A Hamas sermon on sloughtering the Jews http://www.terrorism-info.org.il/malam_multimedia/English/eng_n/html/hamas_e_sermon.htm]
In February 2010 report: ‘Fatah/PA TV Nazi-Like Sermon: “Fight The Jews & Kill Them — They Are Enemies Of Humanity & Allah”’
http://www.zoa.org/sitedocuments/pressrelease_view.asp?pressreleaseID=1809
The intended creation of a blurry picture between violence (as horrific as it is) to someone committed to total annihilation is a usual anti-Israel bigoted trick.
Sorry, the only differences between the two are scale and goal.
As much as I despise Hamas, I’m not about to jump on a bandwagon to defend IRA terrorism.
I HATE TERRORISTS... period.
The differances are
- The IRA’s attacks were mostly aimed at military, police or paramilitary targets. There were many exceptions. Hamas’s attacks are aimed at anybody and everybody, including other Palestinians.
- IRA communiques usually regretted the killing of innocent bystanders. Hamas rejoices in the killing of innocent bystanders.
- IRA political suicides were hunger strikes of prisoners. Hamas tries to take as many innocents as possible in suicide bombings.
-The IRA are Irishman while Hamas is Arab. Thus the IRA was more competent in what they do.
-The IRA has better songs than Hamas.
Please add to the list.
Plus... The IRA never has a [declared] campaign of annihilating the British people as a whole.
AUGUST 11, 2001 : (COLUMBIA : 3 IRA MEMBERS MONAGHAN, MCCAULEY & CONNOLLY - THE LATER ALSO SINN FEIN'S OFFICIAL REPRESENTATIVE TO CUBA- ARE ARRESTED [WHILE CARRYING FALSE PASSPORTS AND UNDER ALIAS]; CONNOLLY IS THOUGHT TO HAVE INITIATED CONTACT WITH FARC THROUGH THE SPANISH TERROR GROUP ETA-- See ETA-FARC-IRA-CUBA CONNECTION) --------- CDI Terrorism Project: "Globalizing Terrorism: The FARC-IRA Connection," CENTER FOR DEFENSE INFORMATION , June 5, 2002
Speaking of ETA :
1999 - 2001 : (IRELAND : THE TERROR CHARITY MERCY INTL'S {see 1998 US EMBASSY BOMBINGS] IRELAND BRANCH HEAD, HAMID AICH , AIDS 22 ISLAMIC ORGANIZATIONS AS WELL AS NONISLAMIC GROUPS SUCH AS THE BASQUE TERRORIST GROUP ETA BY PROVIDING FINANCING) Hamid Aich It is believed that between 1999 and 2001, Aich assisted 22 Islamic terrorist organizations, and even funded non-Islamic groups, for instance giving $200,000 to the ETA, a separatist group in the Basque region of Spain. Aich was also the director of Mercy Internationals Ireland branch. (This charity has several known al-Qaeda connections by this time (see 1988-Spring 1995 and Late 1996-August 20, 1998)
DECEMBER 18, 2004 : (3 IRA TERRORISTS, INCLUDING THE SINN FEIN REPRESENTATIVE TO CUBA, ESCAPE FROM COLUMBIAN JAIL)
The IRA members claimed they came to Columbia to "observe the peace process" but they didn't explain why they each required a bogus passport and an alias to do so.
A month after the IRA members were arrested after their visit where they trained FARC terrorists, FARC's leader called for attacks on targets in the United States.
Note that by this time IRA-style bombs were being found in Palestinian hands in attacks against Israel.
The IRA also has connections to the PFLP, a palestinian terrorist group supported by Saddam Hussein's regime as well as Libya.
Fatah is like the IRA. HAMAS is like the “Real” IRA.
Interesting links between IRA and Palestinian terrorists. BTW PFLP has a special “love affair” with children... to target at them, (examples include) as in Kiryat Shmona in the 1970s and as slashing baby’s throat in Itamar in March (2011)...
