Haniyeh stressed that the Islamic Republic did not seek any support from Hamas should Israel decide to attack Iran.

“Iran did not ask for anything and we think it does not need us,” said Haniyeh, adding that an Israeli attack in Iran would lead to serious consequences in the Middle East. “I cannot predict what will happen, but such a battle would have implications on the region.”

Several months ago, senior Hamas official Salah Bardawil claimed the terror group will not do Iran's bidding in any war with Israel.

Iran, once a supporter of Hamas, has been at odds with the terror group over the uprising against Syrian President Bashar Assad. As a result of Hamas’ refusal to support Assad in the uprising, an angry Iran reportedly stopped supplying the terror group with weapons.

Sunni Hamas will take money and weapons from the Iranians but they will always be Shia scum so they wont take a bullet for them.

That’s what I was thinking.

Hamas is right next door and easy to reach , and they have felt Israel’s wrath.

It’s a big difference when you are easily destroyed.

It looks like Fenton Communications in New York is changing the Palestinian’s strategy.

What will Code Pink think about that?

If we ask Mr. Garrison, he’ll ask Mr. Hand, and we’ll find out in school tomorrow.

Fruits of the Syrian civil war, where the Muslim Brotherhood dominated opposition fights the Iranian-backed Ba’athist regime. With Al Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood backed insurgents fighting Syrian and Iraninan Ansar-Ul-Mehdi (Pasardan forces), a bloody wedge is forming between the Muslim Brotherhood and Iran. This is a very good thing. Let the two sides fight each other, Hama rules.
