Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Killing of Hamas Top Dog Highlights Question for U.S.: Who’s In Charge Here?

By

New in PJ Media:

To hear the establishment media tell it, the killing of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh has brought the world perilously close to a full-scale war in the Middle East and maybe even a world war. In this hour of crisis, one would expect America’s leaders to be way out front, working energetically to protect the American people, our allies, and American interests, trying to calm the international situation. Instead, the episode has once again raised the question: who exactly are America’s leaders?

The killing of Haniyeh has led to a spate of ludicrous establishment media headlines labeling this bloodthirsty terrorist “moderate and pragmatic.” This is all part of the media line that, as AP put it, Haniyeh’s death risks triggering all-out regional war: in the media’s kindergarten-level understanding of the situation, Haniyeh was the one Hamas leader who wanted a ceasefire, and with him dead, the warmongers have total control. The propaganda mills known as news outlets never bother to inform their remaining readers that a ceasefire would allow Hamas to survive, as Israel has vowed to fight on until it is destroyed.

This means that Haniyeh was no Gandhiesque lover of peace; he was just a shrewd tactician. Undeniably, however, tensions are extremely high; consequently, it was imperative for the Biden regime to show that it was on top of the situation. And so on Wednesday afternoon, Karine Jean-Pierre held a press briefing. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, meanwhile, disclaimed all American involvement in the killing of Haniyeh: “This is something we were not aware of or involved in.”

That’s understandable. Given the Biden regime’s multiple betrayals of Israel and funding of Iran, it’s no surprise that the Israelis, whom the whole world assumes to be behind the killing of the Hamas leader, would opt not to inform their putative allies of their plans. The wisdom of that decision was underscored when Blinken added that he was still committed to the keep-Hamas-alive ceasefire plan: “But I can tell you that the imperative of getting a ceasefire, the importance that that has for everyone, remains.”

Biden regime spokesman John Kirby had the same line, saying that it was “too soon to know” how the killing of Haniyeh would affect ceasefire talks, but “this doesn’t mean we are going to stop working on it.” Of course. And according to Axios, “three U.S. officials” said that “the Biden administration is ‘very concerned’ the assassination of Hamas’ political leader Ismail Haniyeh could derail negotiations over the Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal and increase the risk of a regional war.”

There is more. Read the rest here.

  1. ROBERT: The killing of Haniyeh has led to a spate of ludicrous establishment media headlines labeling this bloodthirsty terrorist “moderate and pragmatic.”

    We see it all the time. Charles Krauthammer, whom I had otherwise great admiration for, used to call Turkey’s Erdogan a “moderate Islamist”. The phrase is an oxymoron. How can ANY Islamist – an advocate of the barbarous Sharia law – be a moderate???

    This is the world we live in.

    • Ayatollah Khomeini stated “there is no moderation in Islam” just unobservant Muslims that will learn or die, Charles believed in redemption and hoped for change in a troglodyte system that does not believe in fun or music or laughter only submission

    • Complete insanity, Cornelius–but all too common whitwash of evil, as you note.

      And good to see you posting here again.

  3. The Biden handlers want the public to believe that Iran and its proxies are just a little bit pregnant with its war plans. Their hope is by modifying the descriptors of who these people are will make it so.

  4. The ghouls of hamas have already chosen another of their members to be the top ghoul.

    This statement by blinken ““But I can tell you that the imperative of getting a ceasefire, the importance that that has for everyone, remains.”” doesn’t really speak for “everyone” as he claims.

    Israel doesn’t want a ceasefire which leaves the ghouls who are intent on murdering all Jews, operational.
    Israel wants to cease firing when all of the ghouls are dead.

    An article of interest:
    “Hamas honcho Ismail Haniyeh was blown up by bomb smuggled into his Tehran guesthouse months ago”

  5. The people who are clamoring for a cease fire seem to have forgotten another word in the English language, “surrender.” If the chief villainous inbred scum really wanted peace, they would surrender and no more killing would occur at least until the next time another Iran proxy starts a war. Not even Hollywood has shown a movie where those who started a war were let off by asking for a cease fire. Only at times like Christmas where the French and German soldiers facing each other came (literally) together in order to observe something greater than either of them. Not even the Germans and its allies in World War II were granted a cease fire. They had to surrender in totality and their leaders were held and prosecuted for the crimes that were committed by their own hands or those that resulted from their orders.

    The cease fire that Biden and friends are soliciting not a cease fire but a surrender by Israel. In times past, combatants would pause their conflicts locally in order for the two sides to remove their fallen and the war hostilities would continue but once again this is not what is being advocated. It seems that Israel’s former friends wishes for it to surrender to the one’s about to be obliterated.

      “The cease fire that Biden and friends are soliciting not a cease fire but a surrender by Israel.”

      Yes, that about sums it up, Ray.

    • A great comment, Ray. Your kind of reasoning is lost on biden, harris and their gang.

        • You are more than welcome, Ray. I enjoy reading your comments and learn a lot from your experiences even when I don’t say it.

    Not Biden, and not Harris ether.

    • That’s a good thing. Him taking his daily nap, she busy campaigning and attending sororities and funerals: that leaves Netanyahu free to make his moves against Hamas, Hizbullah, Houthis and Iran

      My only disagreement w/ Israel is their timing. I’d like them to maximize their activities in October, which will enrage the intifada faction of the Democrat Party, and force a more open rift b/w them and their Jewish donors/voters. In the past, both presidents Clinton and Obama had tried to get Netanyahu electorally defeated. It’s now payback time for Bibi: he doesn’t have to send even one message to anyone in the US, but by just timing his operations against jihadis right, he can totally crash Democrat chances this November

        “It’s now payback time for Bibi: he doesn’t have to send even one message to anyone in the US, but by just timing his operations against jihadis right, he can totally crash Democrat chances this November”

        Interesting angle – might work.

    • “….the killing of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh has brought the world perilously close to a full-scale war in the Middle East and maybe even a world war.”.

      Just thought I’d throw this reminder for all to see and know, and for keeping stress levels down, at this..?…time.

      And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

      For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

      All these are the beginning of sorrows.

      Matthew 24: 6-8

  7. The best part of Ismail “Now Part Of The Wall” Haniyeh is Iran’s scramble to understand it all. The mullahs just cannot imagine themselves so hated. Why, how, could anybody want to assassinate that sweet Islamist?
    Haniyeh accomplished something no other bastard leader has done. He’s hugged it out with Iran’s current Islamist puppet president and within 24 hours he’s burning with the former president. Can you imagine the conversation?
    “Yeah, I didn’t feel it or figure it out until I was looking down at a bloody jigsaw puzzle and then I realized that was my dinner plastered next to my intestines on the wall…now I know what I look like with the shit blown out of me!”
    I’d like to know if more or less was left intact compared with Qussam “Cutlet” Suliemani.
    The ironic moral to the story? Each terrorist has died the same way they killed innocent Israelis and Americans besides their own peoples.
    A happy ending.

  8. Unlike in the case of Fu’ad Shukr, and yesterday, Mohammed Dief, Israel has not claimed any responsibility for the killing of Haniyeh. On what basis does John Kirby assume that they are? It’s one thing if Israel has a history of denying its role in killing its enemies, the way, say, Russia does, but if they haven’t admitted it, why does Kirby not leave open other possibilities, such as some rival of Haniyeh being the one who had him assassinated?

    • Like the mozlums, the U.S. *officials* want the death to have been caused by Israel. They don’t want any other explanation.

  9. The non-islamic people of the world need to know that kissing the ass of Islam will not stop Islam from killing you and your family. Thats Islam’s plan from the start. Total World Domination.

  10. “….the killing of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh has brought the world perilously close to a full-scale war in the Middle East and maybe even a world war.”.
