Big Media Ignores Hamas's "Ugliest Crimes"
by Khaled Abu Toameh
• September 3, 2014 at 5:00 am
Armed
Hamas militias committed the ugliest crimes. It was the Palestinians who made
this charge.
Hamas
militiamen confiscated food and medicine sent to the Gaza Strip from the West
Bank and some "friendly countries," the Fatah leaders disclosed.
"Hamas distributed some of the aid among their men through the mosques
or sold it on the black market," they said.
It is
hard to believe that the journalists did not hear about the Hamas crimes. But
it is still not clear why journalists and human rights advocates continue
to ignore the story. Is it because such stories are lacking an anti-Israel
angle?
During the recent war in the Gaza Strip, armed Hamas militias committed
the ugliest crimes and violations.
This charge did was not made by the Israeli Government Press Office or
the Israel Defense Forces spokesman.
Rather, it was Palestinians who made this charge – and not just ordinary
ones.
Leaders of the ruling Fatah faction in the West Bank made the charge
against Hamas in a strongly worded statement that was issued in Ramallah on
August 30.
The statement refers to Hamas's crackdown on dozens of Fatah members in
the Gaza war during Operation Protective Edge – the name used by the IDF to
describe the war with the Islamist movement.
The Fatah leaders – members of the faction's Central Committee, a body
dominated by supporters of Palestinian Authority [PA] President Mahmoud Abbas
– accused Hamas militiamen of shooting dozens of their activists in the Gaza
Strip in the legs and other parts of the body.
"Dangerous Laws"
by Douglas Murray
• September 3, 2014 at 4:00 am
It has
become increasingly plain that there are areas of our country in which
different rules apply. Here are places where religion and ethnicity and the
fear of accusations of "racism" and Islamophobia" trump
everything -- including women's rights and, and it is now clear, even
children's rights.
The
underlying problem has barely been touched. Everybody forgot that the idea of
protecting everyone by the same rules is the only standard that should apply.
"One law for all" is not a "dangerous" idea. It is the
only system that makes it possible to protect everyone, whatever his race or
religion.
It is more than six years since the then Archbishop of Canterbury gave what
history will surely understand to be one of the most destructive speeches in
modern Britain. The contents of Rowan Williams's 2008 speech talked of
allowing a place for competing religious demands, including sharia law, in a
multi-faith society. The next day he clarified matters. In an interview with
the BBC, he said there would "inevitably" be a place for sharia law
in Britain and that (more importantly) the idea of there being "one law
for all" in a country such as Britain seemed to him
"dangerous."
UK: Iran Looking to Recruit British Shi'ite Jihadists
by Samuel Westrop
• September 3, 2014 at 3:00 am
The
horrors perpetrated by ISIS, captured on camera and propagated through social
media, are distracting the West from the threat posed by the Iran and its
proxies. Iran's attempts to woo British Shi'ites should not be dismissed, but
monitored and fought.
Officials of the Iranian regime's network of groups in Britain have
called upon British Shi'ites to join the jihad against Sunni Islamist forces
in Iraq.
The Ahlul Bayt Islamic Mission [AIM], one of the most prominent Shi'ite
organizations in Britain, has published on its website an "Urgent
Call," which states:
"We must be ready to sacrifice, leave everything behind us and run
for the defense of truth and its supporters, representatives, and relics. The
Jihad ul Asghar (minor jihad) must also be accompanied by Jihad ul Akbar
(bigger jihad) so that we prepare ourselves spiritually and deserve the honor
of defending Islam. Every man must be ready to join the armed forces and
every woman must urge the male members of her family to go seek this noble
cause and do anything she can to serve this cause … May Allah (SWT) enable us
to put our words into actions and to defend Islam and its principles till our
last breathe and drop of blood!"
