The Kingdom recalls its repeated warnings of the dangers of the situation exploding as a result of the continued occupation, the deprivation of the Palestinian people of their legitimate rights, and the repetition of systematic provocations against their
sanctities.
"How Israel helped create Hamas", @washingtonpost article by Ishaan Tharoor in July 30, 2014:
Israel's military-led administration in Gaza looked favorably on the paraplegic cleric, who set up a wide network of schools, clinics, a library and kindergartens. Sheikh Yassin formed the Islamist group Mujama al-Islamiya, which was officially recognized by Israel as a charity and then, in 1979, as an association. Israel also endorsed the establishment of the Islamic University of Gaza, which it now regards as a hotbed of militancy. The university was one of the first targets hit by Israeli warplanes in the [2008-9 Operation Cast Lead].
Yassin's Mujama would become Hamas, which, it can be argued, was Israel's Taliban: an Islamist group whose antecedents had been laid down by the West in a battle against a leftist enemy.
If the logic being proposed is that #Hamas is not a #Palestinian organization (because it causes the deaths of palestinians, rather than the israel state) can we apply this logic everywhere?
Let's be clear
to avoid misunderstandings #Hamas and #Hezbollah are fundamentalist terrorist organizations
financed by Iran, Syria (maybe Egypt)
they use Palestinians as 'justification'
they have NO interest in the pacification
their sole aim is to eradicate the State of #Israel
Every time (and it is historically proven)
reconciliation negotiations begin #Hamas and #Hezbollah commit terrorist acts
this one to prevent agreements between Israel and Saudi Arabia

#Aljazeera hat den Pressesprecher der #Hamas interviewt und gefragt warum Hamas Zivilisten angreift.
Zuerst kommt die Siedler sind keine Zivilisten, dann alle die in Israel leben sind Siedler und legitime
Ziele für Hamas.
Es dauert fünf Minuten für den Pressesprecher zuzugeben, dass israelische Zivilisten zu töten vollkommen gerechtfertigt ist.
#Iranian#disinformation sipping into #Israeli social media. A sports commentator Tweets and then deletes a post about the security breach on the border with #Gaza being an "insiders job".
Something is not quite right here.
It's not like they broke into us with spaceships or invisible planes.
But with normal vehicles, motorcycles
Normal, on foot!!
Without anyone disturbing them! Without any helicopter
taking off, simply opened a fence, entered and left.
This is a huge scandal
and a betrayal from the inside!!
Otherwise, there is no explanation for this madness.
Time will tell.
Berechtigte Anliegen und faire Lösungen zu Themen wie der #Siedlungspolitik werden die nächsten Jahre keine Rolle mehr spielen. Die Hardliner in der israelischen Regierung werden massiv gestärkt, und die westliche Solidarität gilt jetzt allein Israel.
Ein schwarzer Tag für die Region und für die #Menschlichkeit an sich.
The irony of the actions of #Hamas in #Israel is that while they might celebrate the incursion as a victory, it has all but destroyed the hope of a Palestinian state in the near future, and may result in Hamas being dethroned. Hamas has shot themselves and #Palestine in the foot. Now, the fact Israel has politely accepted the ever growing presence their own vigilante settlers means the sickness was already in Palestine’s leg and they may feel that amputation was all they had left.
#Netanyahu already belittled the President of the PA during the negotiations with the Saudis, calling him "the mayor of Ramallah", and Netanyahu will retaliate, or let the settlers retaliate, also in the West Bank, to increase his political support there.
What can the PA do then to keep some form of legitimacy in front of the Palestinians?
Only tolerate or submit to #Hamas terrorist policy...
Palestinians in #Gaza expressed disbelief at the infiltration into #Israel. "It is like a dream. I still can't believe it," said one Gaza shopkeeper.
The attack came a day after Israel marked the 50th anniversary of the 1973 war that brought the country to the verge of catastrophic defeat in a surprise attack by #Syria and #Egypt. #YomKippurWar
Fighting between Israeli forces and the Palestinian group Hamas continues with hundreds killed on both sides after a surprise attack on Israel prompted Prime Minister #BenjaminNetanyahu to warn of “a long and difficult war“. #Gaza
More on the story of kidnapped from #Israel by #HAMAS terrorists #German tourist. Her mother issued the statement asking #Gaza terrorists to return the body.
Can somebody with good German language translate this video please
V Haaretz:
'The city of #Kiryat#Shmona, located near the #Israel - #Lebanon border, is advising its residents to evacuate themselves for several days. However, this is only a recommendation.' #hamas#Gaza
'Social media was filled with horrifying videos of men, women and children being carried into the Strip, many of them appearing to have been abused. There were also videos published of dead Israelis taken, including soldiers.'
Lior Carmeli, a general in reserves, is to head the team.
