And Old Joe Biden and his regime is forking over the dough in the millions, demonstrating yet again which side they are really on.
“Hamas’s Haniyeh: Donations to Palestinians, Gaza are ‘financial jihad,'” by Danielle Greyman-Kennard, Jerusalem Post, March 7, 2024:
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh told the International Union of Muslim Scholars Conference in Qatar on January 9 that donations to Gaza were not “humanitarian aid” but a form of “financial jihad,” according to the Middle East Media Research Institute.
“Jihad” is defined by Oxford Languages as “a struggle or fight against the enemies of Islam” and or “the spiritual struggle within oneself against sin.” Terror attacks are often considered to be acts of jihad.
Muslims use “jihad” to describe an internal struggle to live out the Muslim faith, the actions taken to build a Muslim society, and to describe a “holy war” to defend Islam, with force if necessary, according to the BBC.
“The [Islamic] nation has an important role. The scholars of our nation have a pivotal role, on two fronts: The first front is supporting the resistance. Brothers and sisters, the whole world is pouring weapons on the occupation. The whole world is not afraid to do so. There are air bridges from multiple capital cities which reach the occupation, as well as aircraft, and so on and so forth. This has become an individual obligatory [Islamic] duty, which we must perform,” Haniyeh told the conference.
“Like the scholars have mentioned, there are fatwas to this effect, and there are motivating statements. There is verbal Jihad, which is Jihad by the tongue, but indeed, the time has come for Jihad of the swords. This is the battle for Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and not the battle of the Palestinian people, or Gaza, or the people in Gaza.
“The people of Gaza constitute our frontline trench for defense, as well as for offense. They are not there only to defend, but also to attack. What was October 7 if not a frontline trench for an offensive by our nation? We must not let this moment slip away. The time has come. Oh, sons of our Islamic nation, oh, free people of the world, there are very few historic moments like this. Do not let this moment slip away. Our nation and our Islamic scholars have very few historic moments like this. Do not let this moment slip away, because if it does, we do not know how many decades will pass before such a moment returns.
“Time is on our side. At the beginning of this aggression, the Americans were waving a big stick in the face of the world, and even in the Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim communities in some European countries—some of their prominent Palestinian or Arab figures were summoned and were told not to raise the Palestinian flag or do anything. But the language of the same countries has now changed. Why has it changed? Because of the [Palestinian] steadfastness. Were it not for this steadfastness, the conscience of the world would have been crushed. Brothers, we should build on this steadfastness. We should hold on to the victory that took place on October 7 and build upon it.
“The Islamic scholars can establish groups and delegations on multiple levels. These delegations would meet the officials of the countries in which they live—government officials, political parties, civil society, institutions—and fulfill their duty in their own countries. They can even lead the masses [in protests]. That’s for one. Secondly, [we should] form special delegations that will meet with the heads of state in the Arab, Muslim, and even Western countries. They should visit countries and talk about Palestine, Jerusalem, Gaza, and the need to stop the aggression against the Gaza Strip.
“The second issue is the call to donate money. Dear brothers and sisters, let us call this ‘financial Jihad.’ The Islamic nation does not make ‘donations.’
“This is not just a humanitarian issue, despite its immense importance and Gaza’s need for any aid it can get. This is financial Jihad. We should revive this principle of Islamic jurisprudence in our Islamic nation—the notion of waging Jihad with one’s life and one’s money.”…

The West pays for its own demise. Yes, humanitarian aid to Gaza goes mostly to Hamas and the Jihad. The Jerusalem mosque has little importance in Islam. It has only grown in importance in the quest to demonize Israel.
It is financial Jihad when hoards of immigrants get benefits from western countries that far outweigh that of native born citizens. They aim to destroy slowly through population growth and financially draining us. And they aim to destroy through terror (crime, rape, slaughter). When their numbers are sufficient, war is their path.
They are up against an immovable Israel that fights for its existence as a state and a refuge for the Jewish people.

Honestly, the nonsense coming out of this man’s mouth would render the normal, everyday person speechless. Where does one begin?
As the perpetrator of Islam’s ‘claim to fame’, the Oct 7 atrocities, he is simply a mass murderer who should be either put down or imprisoned for life.
His waffle is so fantasy based it’s hard to distinguish it from the monologues one would hear in ‘Star Wars’ or ‘Lord of the Rings’ etc. His referral to his ‘brothers and sisters’ is nauseating.
At the end of the day.
The pseudo-charisma and practiced persona would also put any sermon of any wacky, weirdo cult to shame. What an absolute sham of a man. His shame is even greater if it is all part of a conscious act.
Perhaps things aren’t working out exactly to plan. Rather than appearing grateful for Palestinian support, via money donations and food, I suspect he could read this as some kind of weakness on the part of Islam, something he could not tolerate.
He praises Palestinian resolve in representing ‘the frontline trenches for defence, as well as for defense’.and praises their ‘steadfastness’. Here this vile, wretched man praises the people he knew would be killed in Israeli retaliation. This high and mighty figure lecturing this and that from the comfort zones of his offices and halls is an international disgrace, and most probably cowardly in nature.
His first priority of course, is the spread this Islamic comic book curse as far and wide as possible, and of course, hopefully annihilate Israel in the process! I ask myself who in their right minds would actually seriously take in his gibberish – but then again, the scholars, Imams, clerics are not in their right minds.
In the absence of any credible evidence as to the reality of this power, rule obsessed Allah fantasy, and as the Quran lacks theoretical, doctrinal and actual proof, and is a jigsaw puzzle of obscure, diverse religious input and pieces of Muhammad’s wrath, it must surely be all ‘human based’, with domination, anger, and narcissism perhaps figuring the most!
If Islam reveals the ultimate ‘truth’, how can the latter, ‘truth’, only be found by constant, changing interpretations, by thousands of Imams, clerics and scholars I wonder, whereby the interpretation is used to convey the ‘truth’ rather than the Quran itself. Whole institutions based on froth and bubble. Wasted lives.
At the end of the day, Haniyeh is a fraud, a fake. one who takes on the persona and bearing of a Prophet, when in actuality he is nothing more than a ‘low life’ killer with blood running down his hands. Left to its own devices, perhaps Islam should let itself bring about its own ruin.
abu taleb says
Jihad to kill people is more important to muslims because their god gives bigger reward than anything else.
The welfare of other muslims? Well, leave it to the hand of kufar to take care of them as long as the kufar do not convert them. Even better, the aid from the kufar should go through the jihadist who will either claim that they are the one who give the aid, or sell the aid for handsome profit like what is happening now in Gaza.
Islam is the true religion for evil, blood thirsty, greedy and sex maniac people.
OLD GUY says
STOP – STOP the foreign aid redistribution of wealth to our enemies!
NOTICE – NOTICE who is following the money trail of aid given to these foreign countries. I have never seen a news media or anyone ever show a report on where the money and goods went and who ended up with the billions of American tax dollars out government has given away.
How about WEAPON SALES to Muslim/Islamic countries, is that a wise decision or just big profit..
