"There are thousands" of willing murderers - PA leaders implicitly threaten more terror against Israel

"There are thousands" of willing murderers 
- PA leaders implicitly threaten more terror against Israel

  • Abbas' deputy in response to US-led Bahrain Conference: "There are thousands" like Omar Abu Laila - murderer of 2 Israelis
  • Fatah official: We "will continue to provide more Martyrs and prisoners"
By Nan Jacques Zilberdik


During the recent US-led Bahrain Conference, which the Palestinian Authority decided to boycott despite its stated purpose to discuss means of bringing financial prosperity to the PA, many PA and Fatah leaders spoke out against it.

Speaking at a rally protesting the workshop, PA Chairman Abbas' deputy in Fatah, Mahmoud Al-Aloul, implicitly threatened Israel and the US that there might be more terror attacks and willing murderers on the way. Referring to a terrorist who murdered 2 Israelis just a few months ago - Omar Abu Laila - Al-Aloul addressed the US and Israel, stating that "your tyranny won't pass" and that "there are thousands of Omar Abu Lailas who don't agree to the tyranny":


Fatah Deputy Chairman Mahmoud Al-Aloul: "We can't in any way allow the implementation of your plans to eliminate the Palestinian cause. Never! Not your Deal of the Century and not the workshop in Manama [Bahrain]... This is Palestine - it is not for sale and not for purchase. The person has not been created who will relinquish Jerusalem...
Our message today to the US and this Israeli occupation: Your tyranny won't pass like this. Don't you understand? Have you not learned what the motives of Omar Abu Laila were? And there are thousands of Omar Abu Lailas who don't agree to the tyranny and don't agree to the disrespect."
[Official Fatah Facebook page, June 26, 2019]
As Al-Aloul approached the stage in Nablus, the song I'm Coming Towards You, My Enemy, which encourages violence, was played. Palestinian Media Watch first exposed the contents of this song - which includes the line "we're going down from every house with cleavers and knives" - when it was posted by Fatah on Facebook a few weeks after two Palestinian terrorists brutally murdered 5 worshippers and a policeman with knives and axes in the Har Nof Synagogue in Jerusalem in November 2014:


"I'm coming towards you, my enemy,
We're going down from every house with cleavers and knives,
With grenades we announced a popular war.
I swear, you won't escape, my enemy,  
from the revolution and the people.
How will you escape the ring of fire,
while the crowds are blocking the way?"
[Facebook, "Fatah - The Main Page," Nov. 22, 2014]
Another Palestinian official also made an implicit terror threat in the days following the Bahrain workshop. Fatah's Jenin District Secretary Ata Abu Armila promised that the Palestinian people will "continue to provide more Martyrs and prisoners." This can only be understood to mean Palestinians who are willing to attack Israelis - and also willing to die in the process:


Fatah's Jenin District Secretary Ata Abu Armila: "The Palestinian people's message is one and unified. It's the message of the Martyrs and released prisoners, O President [Abbas]. We will continue to provide more Martyrs and prisoners in order to stand against this global war, and we will triumph."
[Official PA TV News, June 21, 2019]
The following is additional text Fatah posted on Facebook with Al-Aloul's speech:

Posted text on Facebook page: "The speech of Fatah Movement Deputy Chairman [and Fatah Central Committee member] brother Mahmoud Al-Aloul 'Abu Jihad' at a rally in Nablus against the deal of the century and the Bahrain workshop (referring to US President Donald Trump's as yet unpublished Middle East peace plan and a US-led conference in June 2019 focusing on economic aspects of the plan -Ed.)."
[Official Fatah Facebook page, June 26, 2019]
Abu Laila was a 19-year-old Palestinian terrorist who stabbed and murdered Israeli soldier Gal Keidan, and shot and murdered Rabbi Achiad Ettinger, a father of 12, at Ariel Junction on March 17, 2019. Abu Laila was killed on March 19, 2019, during an exchange of gunfire with Israeli soldiers who attempted to arrest him.

Fatah's Jenin District Secretary Ata Abu Armila made his comment about providing "more Martyrs and prisoners" at an event to celebrate the release of prisoner Hani Ghannam, who served 18 years in prison for being a member of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade (Fatah's military wing) and participating in attacks against Israelis. "This global war" possibly refers to President Trump's Deal of the Century - his as yet unpublished Middle East peace plan - and the US-led Bahrain Conference in June 2019 which focused on economic aspects of the US Middle East peace plan.

Iran Preparing a Worldwide Terror Network by Yaakov Lappin Special to IPT News

Iran Preparing a Worldwide Terror Network

An Iranian network of terrorist cells is spread out around the world, ready for activation at any time as tensions in the Persian Gulf remain high. Threats by the Islamic Republic to escalate its standoff with the United States mean that the chances of an Iranian proxy terrorist activation are rising.
Biting American sanctions are causing unprecedented damage to the Iranian economy. In response, the radical Shi'ite regime has already provided the world with a sample of its ability to order attacks that destabilize the Middle East.
Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen recently launched explosive drones and cruise missiles, targeting Saudi Arabian oil installations and airports. An Iranian-backed Shi'ite militia in Iraq, Katai'b Hizballah, is suspected of firing rockets at U.S. interests, and the Islamic Republican Guards Corps (IRGC) launched mine attacks on civilian oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman.
These incidents represent a small sampling of Iran's capabilities. The Iranians have built up a wide-reaching network of radical surrogates which extends beyond the Middle East. Members of this network range from hierarchical terror armies like Hizballah, armed with massive arsenals of projectiles, to sleeper terrorist cells active in Europe, North America, and Latin America.
Israel, a frontline state that defends itself against Iran and its proxy network, has taken a lead role in identifying, monitoring, and preventing attacks, as well as alerting Western intelligence agencies to threats.
Mossad Director Yossi Cohen provided a glimpse into this shadow war in remarks delivered Monday at the Herzliya Conference. The IRGC and the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence are responsible for overseas terror operations, he said.
While the Ministry of Intelligence is responsible for setting up murder squads targeting Iranian opposition figures abroad, the IRGC, together with Hizballah, seeks to hit Israeli targets, as well as soft Jewish targets.
This would explain the discovery and recent announcement of a Hizballah bomb factory in London. It appears highly likely that the bombs were intended for Hizballah cells intent on attacking Israeli targets in Britain.
In addition, Iran's Ministry of Intelligence activated a European terror network in June last year, sending it on a bombing mission against an Iranian opposition event that featured former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. The cell reportedly had half a ton of explosives. In recent years, Iranian opposition figures were murdered in Turkey and Holland, while another assassination plot in Denmark and Sweden was thwarted.
"An Iranian diplomat in Vienna headed" the France bomb plot, Cohen said. "He is now under arrest, and other [members of the cell] are under arrest in Belgium."
Cohen also said that Iran's overseas operations unit, the Quds Force, recruited 300 fighters in Iraq and Syria and brought them to Africa to create a terror network capable of striking Western targets across the African continent.
Iranian agents gathered "intelligence on the Iranian opposition, and on Israeli targets in Azerbaijan, the U.S., Denmark – and this is only the top of the iceberg," Cohen cautioned. "The Mossad and the Israeli intelligence community are deeply involved in the effort to thwart these threats before the deaths of innocents occurs. We are working shoulder to shoulder with other countries to prevent more deaths."
Part of Iran's plans, he said, involved preparing attacks on American overseas assets.
Iran could also order its network to attack European and Israeli targets at any time, Cohen warned, noting that Tehran accuses Israel of being behind the Trump administration's economic pressure campaign. "One of the easiest ways to do it [strike] is through attacks on Israeli targets in Europe, and around the world," Cohen said.
Iran has done this before. In 2012, for example, it ordered a wave of attacks on Israeli targets in Bulgaria, Cyprus, India, and Kenya in retaliation for a sabotage campaign of its nuclear program that it attributed to Israel. This included a suicide bombing attack on a bus of Israeli tourists in Burgas, which murdered six people.
Past incidents have seen Hizballah operatives scope out Israeli targets in countries as far away as Peru.
More recently, German domestic security forces noted that Hizballah kept a permanent presenceof more than 1,000 operatives on German soil.
These networks have also penetrated North America, according to a series of recent reports.
Canadian media revealed last month that a Hizballah operative collected detailed information on Toronto's Pearson airport in 2017. Canada's Air Transport Security Authority had reproduced an article about a Hizballah sleeper cell agent named Ali Kourani, who was a member of Hizballah's Unit 910, an overseas attack unit.
Based in the U.S., Kourani reportedly visited Pearson airport seven times before being arrested. He also "scouted New York's JFK airport and U.S government facilities. He passed the results of his surveillance activities to his Hizballah handler in Lebanon on digital storage devices," the report said, as part attack planning surveillance operations.
In May, an American court convicted Kourani of eight counts related to his work as a Hizballah "deep-cover operative. He is scheduled for sentencing on Sept. 27," Canada's Global Newsreported.
"Kourani's chilling mission was to help procure weapons and gather intelligence about potential targets in the U.S. for Hezbollah terrorist attacks," a U.S. Department of Justice  press releasesaid.
Kourani reportedly married a Lebanese-Canadian woman to evade the intelligence radar. He also befriended a Canadian airport employee, and talked him into agreeing to carry a bag on-board an aircraft.
Unit 910 was even more active in Canada than in the United States, Kourani told the FBI. It would likely try to smuggle explosives into the U.S. from Canada.
Meanwhile, in the Middle East, the Mossad director revealed that Iran had transferred $100 million to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) in the Gaza Strip.
Intelligence agencies around the world will need to be on high alert for Iran's active and lethal international terrorism network.

Nike pulls flag-themed shoe. Betsy Ross: beloved symbol of American folklore or avatar of white supremacy?
While no one seems to be saying that Ross herself was an evil racist, the fact that she livedand allegedly sewed the iconic, 13-star flag associated with the American Revolutionduring slaveholding times is apparently enough to ensure that she and her flag be canceled.
The controversy comes after Nike announced a new Fourth of July-themed sneaker, made in red, white, and blue materials and adorned on the heel with the Betsy Ross flag. After shipping the shoea version of Nike's popular Air Max 1to stores, the company then abruptly called for their return.
"Nike has chosen not to release the Air Max 1 Quick Strike Fourth of July as it featured the old version of the American flag," was all a Nike spokesperson would say. But the shoes were reportedly yanked at the request of Colin Kaepernick, former NFL football player and current Nike representative.
According to some, the Ross flag has been co-opted by racists as a symbol of white nationalism, and therefore we're just supposed to just cede it to them and move on.
The Betsy Ross flag is not "the American flag", and as I'm sure you're aware, it's been appropriated as a symbol of white nationalism. Would you approve of a Confederate flag sneaker? Or do you consider that an American flag too? https://t.co/ReX29V1RIo
— Elizabeth Spiers (@espiers) July 2, 2019

Not everyone agrees…
To be clear: I don't think it's wise to cede national or civic symbols to racists because they want them to be able to publicly present their ideology as "patriotic," and what America should be, which is exactly what is being contested. Let them have the stars and bars.
— Adam Serwer???? (@AdamSerwer) July 2, 2019

For the record, "whether Ross actually designed the flag is a matter of dispute," as The Washington Post notes. "There is little evidence to back up assertions by her descendants that turned the Philadelphia-based upholsterer into a national heroine in the 1870s.
Nike's decision to pull the shoes sparked an immediate backlash, especially among folks on the right. Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey said he's canceling incentives the state had offered Nike to build a plant there.
Instead of celebrating American history the week of our nation's independence, Nike has apparently decided that Betsy Ross is unworthy, and has bowed to the current onslaught of political correctness and historical revisionism. 5/
