Media Morons Mourn “Moderate” and “Pragmatic” Dead Hamas Leader

 

When Israel out Hamas terror boss Ismail Haniyeh, it broke a lot of hearts including that of white BLM leader Shaun King.

King, who is allegedly white, is a former BLM activist turned random grifter who converted to Islam. And like any grifter went to the most extreme cartoonish version of what he imagined that would be like.

In response to Haniyeh’s execution, Shaun King reportedly posted that, “The United States and Israel have just assassinated the dear brother Ismail Haniyeh – who was the political head of Hamas,” the white Muslim BLM leader mourned. “These genocidal monsters think that this weakens Hamas, or weakens the resistance, but it does neither. It will only strengthen both.”

King was not alone. The Houthis were upset. The terror group that attacks civilian ships claimed that, “targeting Ismail Haniyeh is a heinous terrorist crime and a flagrant violation of laws and ideal values.”

But the media was quite upset too and launched its effort to posthumously rebrand the Hamas boss as “moderate” and “pragmatic”.

The BBC described Haniyeh as “moderate and pragmatic”. “Ismail Haniyeh was the pragmatic face of Hamas – his death is a major blow for the group”, Sky News headlined its coverage. “Haniyeh was the public face of Hamas’s diplomacy in Arab capitals. He was leading efforts to negotiate a ceasefire in Gaza.”

Reuters followed the meme: “Tough-talking Haniyeh was seen as the more moderate face of Hamas”.

What’s the source of this false media meme? As usual, Hamas’ state sponsors in Qatar.

“Palestinians across Gaza and the West Bank also view Ismail Haniyeh as a moderate leader who is much more pragmatic compared to other leaders who head the military side of the movement,” Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud in Gaza said.

If only he had also been an austere religious scholar too.

Israel’s strikes on terror chiefs show it will fight alone — despite US reluctance

On Tuesday, Iran’s newly inaugurated President Masoud Pezeshkian was greeted with the now all-too-familiar frenzied chants of “Death to Israel” and “Death to America” in the streets, cafes and public squares of Tehran.

The crowds should have tried screaming “Death to Haniyeh.” It would have been far more prescient.

That day, just hours after meeting with Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed in Tehran by an apparent precision-guided missile, no doubt courtesy of the Israel Defense Forces.

Good riddance.

Haniyeh, the terror group’s top political honcho, was responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of people — including hundreds of Americans — in the war against Israel he started.

He was a primary driver of the Oct. 7 attacks and directly culpable in the murder and kidnapping of US citizens — seven of whom are still being held dead or alive by Hamas in Gaza.

Israel is showing the White House how to win.

After months of self-defeating handcuffing by the Biden administration and its insistence on restraint and “proportionate responses,” Israel said “enough” — and went for Hamas’ jugular.

Killing Haniyeh in Tehran wasn’t the only victory of the day.

Earlier, in Beirut, Israel claimed responsibility for killing Fuad Shukr, the third-ranking member in command of Hezbollah.

Shukr is widely believed to have been responsible for last Saturday’s attack that killed 12 Druze children on a soccer field in the Golan Heights in Northern Israel.

The two targeted actions were a continuation of the IDF’s overall strategy to disassemble, on a top-down basis, Hamas, Hezbollah and the military command structure of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps — one leader at a time.

Khamenei and Hassan Nasrallah, Iran’s Hezbollah toady, suffered left and right hooks from Israel in the span of 24 hours.

Both men likely now are wondering if their own bunkers are deep enough — and fear now may drive them to all-out war with Jerusalem.

They’re also likely looking over their shoulders, wondering who in their orbit clued in the Mossad — Israel’s intelligence service — to Haniyeh’s and Shukr’s locations, deep behind enemy lines in Beirut and Tehran.

Khamenei cannot let this pass: After all, Haniyeh died in his capital and on a day that the Axis of Resistance had gathered in Tehran to witness the inauguration of Pezeshkian.

What was to be a gathering of the mighty and defiant enemies of Israel and the West proved to be the assembly of the weak and vulnerable.

Regime survival demands a response, and losing face to this enemy could rapidly destroy Khamenei’s grip on power throughout Iran.

Yet Iran’s first attempt at hitting Israel directly on April 14 proved to be a spectacular failure — and an embarrassment all of its own.

Only a handful of hundreds of Iranian drones, ICBM missiles and glide bombs got through Israeli defenses, and none hit a significant target.

The first reprisal move made by IRGC Brigadier General Esmail Qaani might be to unleash his proxies in Syria, Iraq and Yemen to target American military forces.

The goal would be to kinetically exploit what Iran likely interprets to be the growing wedge between Vice President Kamala Harris and Netanyahu.

Harris last week — wittingly or not — sent that message to Khamenei and Nasrallah as she crassly pandered to Gen Z and progressive voters by opting to embarrass Netanyahu at the White House, using their bilateral meeting to criticize Israel over its war against Hamas.

The presumptive Democratic nominee said she wouldn’t be silent — and on Tuesday, Bibi in effect responded, saying with Israel’s actions that he will not be cowed by ill-advised White House obstructionism.

Iran will have to try to hit Israel; Khamenei has vowed revenge — including, purportedly, a direct strike.

But his calculus must include doing so without threatening his nuclear-weapons program, which is rapidly approaching breakout.

Unleashing Hezbollah might, in Khamenei’s view, be the only option that ensures regime survival and preserves his nuclear facilities.

Israel, however, may not wait.

The IDF sent Khamenei and Nasrallah the same message Tuesday: Israel is not afraid of you — and we are willing to take you on alone, with or without White House support.

Doubt Israel?

Just ask Haniyeh or Shukr.

They just learned how to negotiate a permanent cease-fire the hard way.

Vance rips Biden-Harris admin over 9/11 plea deals: ‘We need a president who kills terrorists, not negotiates with them’

Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance ripped the Biden-Harris administration Wednesday for cutting an anger-inducing plea deal that will spare three terrorists allegedly responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks from the death penalty.

“We need a president who kills terrorists, not negotiates with them,” Vance told a crowd of supporters at a campaign stop in Glendale, Arizona.

The Ohio senator referenced The Post’s exclusive story that revealed the Department of Defense- approved pre-trial agreements with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed — the accused principal architect of the al Qaeda attacks — and two alleged co-conspirators, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin ‘Attash, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi.

The plea deal lets the men live out their days behind bars.

“Just today, I heard that the Biden-Harris Department of Justice cut a deal with al Qaeda terrorist Khalid Sheik Mohammed to avoid the death penalty. As someone who enlisted in the Marines to serve after 9/11, that is ridiculous, but it’s not surprising,” Vance, 39, said at Wednesday’s rally.

“Just think about the point that we’ve gotten to: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have weaponized the Department of Justice to go after their political opponents, but they’re cutting a sweetheart deal with 9/11 terrorists,” he continued, incorrectly identifying the DOJ as the prosecuting agency.

“We need a president who kills terrorists, not negotiates with them.”

The statement earned a hearty round of applause from the crowd, echoing sentiments from across the country, especially from the surviving loved ones of the Twin Towers tragedy who felt death was the only appropriate punishment for the perpetrators of the heinous attacks.

The plea deal wasn’t the only thing Vance blamed Harris for.

The “Hillbilly Elegy” author slammed her position as “border czar” during her three and a half years as vice president, during which time about 1.7 million migrants slipped past Border Patrol and are living in the US, according to data from the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability.

Vance also poked fun at Harris’ accent, which was mocked relentlessly on social media after she seemingly slipped into a southern drawl during a Tuesday rally in Atlanta, Georgia.

“Kamala Harris is a phony who caters to whatever audience is in front of her,” the Republican said, referencing the “fake southern accent.”

“Now, what the hell is that all about? Kamala Harris grew up in Canada. They don’t talk like that in Vancouver or Quebec or wherever she came from. Doesn’t matter. It’s the same new liberal policies, but a different accent [depending on] whoever she’s talking to.”

The quip comes on the heels of Trump’s own claims that Harris “became black” in recent years to appeal to a wider audience.

The ex-president accused Harris — who graduated from the historically black Howard University in 1986 and was a member of a black sorority — of being a “phony” and a “fake.”

“I’ve known her a long time indirectly — not directly very much — and she was always of Indian heritage and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn’t know she was black — until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black,” the 45th president told a black journalist conference in Chicago Wednesday.

“And now she wants to be known as black, so I don’t know is she Indian or is she black … but you know what, I respect either one, but she obviously doesn’t.”

Iranian Jews: 'Take revenge on Israel for Haniyeh assassination'

The Tehran Central Jewish Committee published a letter on Wednesday condemning the elimination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and called for an Iranian response.

"The murder of Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the Hama's political bureau, in Tehran, constitutes a terrorist crime and a clear violation of international law," the letter opens.

They added that Haniyeh "was one of the standard bearers of the honorable Jerusalem liberation movement, suffered several attempted murders, and dedicated his life to the support and defense of the oppressed people of Gaza. He and several of his family members were killed in terror attacks and now the cowardly and criminal Zionists murdered him in his safe home in Tehran.

One of Haniyeh's Own Bodyguards Played Part In Elimination, Missile Fired From Nearby Building

 

Iranian media outlets are reporting that one of Hamas leader Ismail Hanieyh’s bodyguards is the one who conveyed information to the operatives who eliminated him.

The reports added that the missile fired at Haniyeh was not only fired from within Iran but was fired from a nearby building.

The operatives launched an Israeli-made Spike short-range missile into the room where  Haniyeh was staying at an IRCG “guest house” in northern Tehran.

According to the reports, it is possible that more than one of Hanieyh’s bodyguards assisted the “operatives’ in the elimination.

KHAMENEI ORDERS DIRECT STRIKE ON ISRAEL

 

Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, YM"S has reportedly ordered a direct strike on Israel in response to the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, the NY Times reports quoting three informed Iranian officials.

The order was allegedly given during an emergency meeting of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council on Wednesday morning, shortly after the announcement of Haniyeh’s death, said the officials, including two members of the Revolutionary Guards, who requested anonymity as they were not authorized to speak publicly.

Iran and Hamas have accused Israel of carrying out the assassination. Israel, currently engaged in a conflict with Hamas in Gaza, has not confirmed or denied responsibility for Haniyeh’s death, who was in Tehran for the inauguration of Iran’s new president. Israel has a history of targeting its enemies abroad, including Iranian nuclear scientists and military figures.

Throughout the nearly 10-month conflict in Gaza, Iran has aimed to maintain a balance, intensifying pressure on Israel through increased attacks by its regional allies and proxies, while avoiding a full-scale war between the two countries.

In April, Iran launched one of its most significant and overt attacks on Israel in decades, firing hundreds of missiles and drones in retaliation for an Israeli strike on its embassy compound in Damascus, Syria, which killed several Iranian military commanders. However, this assault was anticipated, most of the weapons were intercepted by Israel and its allies, resulting in minimal damage.

Airlines Cancel Flights to Israel Amid Rising Tensions, Stranding Thousands

 

Several major American and British airlines have informed passengers that flights to Israel are canceled due to escalating tensions involving Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran, according to Hebrew media reports.

Delta has reportedly canceled its flights until August 2, while British Airways has done the same. United Airlines has canceled its flights until August 6.

These cancellations have left tens of thousands of Israelis stranded in the United States.

The decisions by United and Delta, the second-and third-largest airlines globally, are expected to lead to similar actions by other airlines, as suggested by some reports.

Chareidie Has Message to the Israeli Roshei Yeshivas schnorring in the USA ... Stay Home! Don't Bankrupt Our Moisdois.. You Came Under False Pretenses!!

I decided to translate the video where this Chusid speaks in Yiddish to the Israeli Roshei Yeshiva Schnorrers! 

I hope I do it justice!!!!

" Two weeks ago, a bunch of Roshei Yeshivah from Eretz Yisrael came to schnoor in the USA! This camapign hasn't stopped and continues to bombard us. Just today I heard that they managed to collect $84 million,  and are still missing some "change" and they claim that the future of Klall Yisrael depends on this!

So what triggered me to speak out? 

You come from a country that only Jews live there, and you have an issue and an argument with your own brothers, so you come to America to grab money from poor people under false pretenses that the future of the Jewish people depend on this!

This isn't true at all, the future of the Jewish people doesn't depend on this! 

You have a "Yissacher/Zevulin" agreement with Chilonim, you learn Torah and they protect you!

The problem with this is that you cannot force a "Yissacher/Zevulin" agreement! A Talmud Chuchim can't walk into your store, grab $2,000 from your register and say I'm the Zevulin and you are the Yissacher ...that doesn't work! Both have to agree to this!

So before you come to Schnoor here in America, why don't you first resolve you issues with your Chilonie brothers?? Why are you depleting our much needed resources when here in the USA it cost us $70,000 in tuitions to educate our children  in our Moisdois?

The "pshat" is that OUR future is in jeopardy, not yours, and you come under false pretenses to collect money when you have the ability to resolve your issues and make peace with  Chilonim?

When was the last time A Rosh Yeshivah  sat with Avigdar Lieberman, when was the last time a Rosh Yeshiva sat with Naftali Bennett? When was the last time they sat with anyone?

We are here on Shiva Asar Be'Tamuz, the destruction of the Bais Hamikdash was because of "Sinas Chinum" senseless hatred, one Jew hated the other Jew. Why on this day, take the opportunity and go to the other side of the aisle and see how you can resolve your issues. 

Everyone knows that these issues with the Chilonim has nothing to do with Torah it has to do with money,and  its all politics! 

So go to your brother resolve your issues and keep learning. Don't come here to America and schnoor over $100 million depleting our resources under your false pretenses that the future of the Jewish people depends on this. This Roshe Yeshiva argument has absolutely no credible beginning or credible end.

The Mishna says "Kol Torah Shein imo Melacha Sofo Beiteilah and Gorress Avoin" Any Torah learned without a source of income will eventually vanish and will bring sin! 

DIN: Well spoken and thought out! He broke it down well and was articulate! Who is this guy? I need him to work for me! 

If any of you fell for this fraudulent campaign and contributed to them, and took your money from maaser, you may want to ask a shaalei if need to replace your maaser fund! 

New Details on the Assassination of Ismail Haniyeh

 He was not staying at one of the famous hotels in Tehran due to security concerns.

Instead, he was staying at a secret location in northern Tehran, where he met his end from a precise missile strike to his room at 2 AM.

Haniyeh was eliminated just 150 meters from the residence of Iran's new president.

Two and a half hours later, the Revolutionary Guards announced his death.
