Boortz this morning, makes the obvious point about Hamas, CAIR and Yassin, etc: [1]
Thanks to James Taranto’s Opinion Journal column, we can now take a look at the Covenant of the Hamas. This document was issued on August 18, 1988. It is the founding document of Hamas. Cair calls Yassin an “Islamic religious leader?” Yeah .. the leader of Hamas.
Let’s take a look at a few excerpts from the Covenant of the Hamas
Article 7: “The Day of Judgment will not come about until Moslems fight Jews and kill them. Then, the Jews will hide behind rocks and trees, and the rocks and trees will cry out: ‘O Moslem, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him.”
Article 13: “So-called peaceful solutions and international conferences are in contradiction to the principles of the Islamic Resistance Movement … There is no solution for the Palestinian problem except by Jihad [holy war].”
Now just what was it that CAIR said in their statement on the death of Ahmed Yassin? Oh yeah … “The international community must now take concrete steps to help protect the Palestinian people against such wanton Israeli violence.”
Read those bits from the founding document of Hamas … and then spend a few of your precious moments thinking about how idiotic it is for CAIR to be imploring the international community to talk about “wanton Israeli violence.” Didn’t we read something about “fight Jews and kill them” and “there is a Jew hiding be hind me, come and kill him”? And the world needs to protect these goons from those bad, bad Israelis?
He’s right, of course.
I’m starting to get really annoyed about this. Damn it…..At what point do we stop weeping about how the west is the aggressor, and start dealing with the fact that we are under unrelenting attack by an outright insane group of people that don’t WANT peace??
As I pointed out in a quote I posted here yesterday, Leftist sympathies, singing koombyah and carrying peace symbols, whether in Israel, America or Europe will prove no armor against car bomb fragments. Their purposes in the ‘peace’ process has been shown over time to be nothing more than an effort to gain time to mount further attacks against us, and to gain followers. Even the most superficial of studies of the patterns invlolved with any of the Palastinian leadership, including Arifat, and his Fatah party, will show this quite clearly. and yes, they, and the remainder of the Islamofacists are all linked together; we’re finding new evidence each and every day of this.
The killing of Yassin is a good step toward limiting that effect, but will only be fully effective if our own left, much less the world-wide left will learn the facts. I fear they have neither the brains nor the guts for them. If we let our left rule the day on this, the west will lose. It’s really that simple.
Now, of course I recognize fully that some of our own left WANTS this to happen. They’ve said so. I even quoted them here in this venue, from DU and other sources.
Now, which foreign leaders did you say supported you, Mr. Kerry? I’d really like to know.
