“We love death like our enemies love life.”
After attending the inauguration of Iran’s new president among the festive chants of “Death to America” and “Death to Israel”, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh found death waiting for him.
“We always shout: ‘Death for the sake of Allah is our loftiest aspiration,’” Haniyeh had claimed.
The Hamas billionaire who lived in luxury in Qatar hadn’t actually wanted to die, but he should have been careful what he wished for before the missile granted him the death he cheered for.
After the Hamas atrocities of Oct 7, Haniyeh had declared that we need the “blood of the women, children, and elderly” to awaken the “revolutionary spirit”. But his his dreams of killing all the Jews and seizing Israel ended when he left the protection of U.S. terrorist “allies” like Qatar and Turkey, and visited Iran.
Haniyeh never left Iran.
Earlier, Israel had taken out Fuad Shukr, the number two figure in the Hezbollah Islamic terrorist group, still wanted by the United States for his role in the Marine Corps Barracks bombing in Beirut which killed 241 American military personnel. It followed that up by taking out Haniyeh even as he was staying under the terrorist regime’s military protection in the heart of Tehran.
Allies from Doha, Moscow, Beijing and D.C. to CAIR to BLM to the BBC mourned his death.
“Never say that those martyred in the cause of Allah are dead—in fact, they are alive!” CAIR San Francisco head Zahra Billoo tweeted. “Tonight, we mourn Ismail himself but know his martyrdom is not in vain.”
White BLM leader Shaun King, who recently converted to Islam, cried that, “the United States and Israel have just assassinated the dear brother Ismail Haniyeh,” he declaimed. “These genocidal monsters think that this weakens Hamas, or weakens the resistance, but it does neither. It will only strengthen both.”
Haniyeh had previously condemned America for killing Osama bin Laden, describing the Al Qaeda leader as a “Muslim Mujaheed” or Islamic Jihadist, and hailed Abdullah Azzam, the brains behind Al Qaeda’s theology, as “a knight of Jihad and resistance against the enemies of Allah.” But the media still rushed to redefine him as a “pragmatic” peace-seeking “moderate.”
The BBC described Haniyeh as “moderate and pragmatic”. Reuters confusingly claimed that, “tough-talking Haniyeh was seen as the more moderate face of Hamas”. “Ismail Haniyeh was the pragmatic face of Hamas,” Sky News told viewers. The Guardian hedged a little by describing Haniyeh as “relatively pragmatic” compared to, say perhaps, the Caliph of ISIS.
Relativism was also the order of the day at the New York Times which quoted someone from the European Council on Foreign Relations describing Haniyeh as “a relatively pragmatic counterpoint”. The Washington Post lauded Haniyeh as “a more moderate force in Hamas.”
The very moderate Hamas leader had previously bragged that his Arab Muslim colonists in Israel “sacrifice their children, their sons, for the sake of Palestine and for the sake of the land of Islam and the Muslims. The might of the nation of Jihad is revealed on the land of Palestine, as well as in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Sudan, and in all the fronts of confrontation with the enemies of Allah.” By “enemies of Allah”, the Hamas leader meant Christians, Jews and all non-Muslims.
But the media had its pragmatic and moderative narrative. The Wall Street Journal jumped in with “Strike in Iran Kills Hamas’s Leading Advocate for a Gaza Cease-Fire”.During the Oct 7, Haniyeh had prayed in gratitude to his god ‘Allah’ for the initial Hamas successes in killing Israelis. He had then urged Muslims to wage war to ethnically cleanse all the Jews from Israel.
Stories quickly followed about the “dangers of escalation” and a “regional war”, as they do every time Israel fights back against Islamic terrorism. Islamic terrorism is never an escalation, only defending against it is. Muslim terror victims are just statistics, but the death of Muslim terrorists is always the subject of worldwide concern in the international capitals of terrorist appeasement.
The Putin regime in Moscow, which has been responsible for ‘suiciding’ political opponents around the world, declared that “the elimination of Haniyeh is a political murder that is completely unacceptable to us.” As opposed to the ones that are acceptable to it.
China, which had recently hosted a Hamas delegation, condemned Haniyeh’s execution and claimed that the Communist regime, which keeps threatening to invade Taiwan, “has always advocated resolving regional disputes through negotiation and dialogue.”
The Biden administration worried that the death of a murderous terrorist who had urged a “Jihad of Swords” and proclaimed that “we should hold on to the victory that took place on October 7 and build upon it” would undermine its attempt at “peace negotiations” with Hamas.
Oct 7 was a horrifying lesson in the fact that peace doesn’t come from making deals with terrorists but by standing up to them and putting them down. The Big Lie of negotiating with terrorists is based on falsely describing them as “pragmatic” and “moderate”. Every Jihadist, no matter how horrifying, is characterized as a leader looking to make a deal for the right terms.
No one takes Islamic terrorists at their word. And they should.
Jerusalem, unlike D.C. and Brussels, has begun taking Islamic terrorists at their word. When they talk about destroying Israel and killing all the Jews, they no longer assume that’s a negotiating position, but a plan. And when the terrorists say that “Death for the sake of Allah is our loftiest aspiration”, they don’t assume that’s empty rhetoric, but a genuine aspiration.
And Israel is fulfilling their pragmatic and moderate dreams of being martyred for Allah.
“We love death like our enemies love life,” Ismail Haniyeh, pragmatic moderate, once claimed.
A man should do what he loves. And politicians and the media should stop lying about what he is. And about what Hamas is. And about what Islam is.
somehistory says
They should all stop lying, but they won’t. Just as mozlums won’t stop murdering and raping those they hate. They may lyingly pretend; they make all kinds of bullying threats, proving that they will never stop their evil.
And the lying about it all will continue.
abu taleb says
The media is completely correct, true muslims do want to kill all Jews and also all non muslims, doesn’t matter they are “moderate” or “radical”. Who can say that Ismael Haniyeh is not a true muslim? He is 100% muslim..
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Putin condemned this killing? As opposed to the killings of Russians like Litvinenko, Skripal? Maybe he should have a summit w/ Netanyahu explaining why it’s okay for him to kill enemies of his regime abroad but not okay for Israel to kill its enemies abroad
Brian K says
“Oh Allah it’s so hot here, but where are my virgins?”
Sanjay Tandon says
Ismail Haniyeh by now must be enjoying the 72 virgins as promised by Allah hahahahahaha………Keep up the good work IDF you have to win for the sake of the peace loving JEWS, CHRISTIANS and HINDUS .

The media hates the Jews unless you’re a fake one like Kamala’s husband, Chucky Schumer or Stephen Spielberg -then you’re tolerable especially if you’re a bed wetting Hamas sympathizer.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I doubt that even they are the exception. Recently, Bernie was mobbed by the intifada crowd, despite his virulent anti-Israel stances.
Being Jewish is enough. Only way they can salvage themselves is by embracing islam
Oscar says
The Europe will be destroyed from within thanks to mass immigration of Muxlims, Same is happening in Americas.
So sure, they want all non-muslims dead. — http://www.faithfreedom.org
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Just another indication of the Orwellian Dystopia we find ourselves in these days.
The brutal denial of the truth twisted into misinformation and obfuscation of the facts where a sadist is unabashedly characterized as a moderate pragmatist. Where men are permitted to beat women in an Olympic boxing ring are hailed as champions of women’s rights.
Greyhound Fancier says
Once you’re done with good and evil, people have no way to judge rightly.
OLD GUY says
How about that they have a muslim sport “Wife Beating” in the Olympics now, thats progress. A man beating on a women gets you a GOLD MEDAL not a jail cell, novel idea folks. Whats next an Olympic sport of men dragging women by the hair a1000 meters the fastest?
Jesper says
Moderate ?
You mean, like Hitler was moderate compared to Stalin ?
Kepha says
On FB, I saw posts of Falastinians in Gaza “mourning the destruction of their beautiful homes”. It was gratifying to see lots of responses on the order of, “Wait a minute: I thought it was supposed to be ‘an open-air concentration camp’.” Frankly, my impression of Gaza will always be their crowing over showing a video of some poor young woman who fouled herself being hustled away on Oct. 7, and the video of them blaring their horns and dancing in the streets on 09/01/11. May God forgive me for what I’m thinking of that stinking little corner of the Middle East. There. Maybe some comedian may now use Uncle Kepha in a routine about Christian hyposricy.
As for other whines about how Islamicist states and movements “abuse women”, well, sorry, my last chivalrous feeling towards Muslim women (and not a few Chrislamic ones, too) evaporated long ago. My chief image of them will be all those angry nuns (actually, chador-clad vixens of all ages) screaming “Marg-bar-Amrika!” back in 1979. You are not going to fool me by trotting out all seven Afghani feminists to whine about the Taliban next time someone tries to pull a 9/11.
Instead of terrorizing whole cities from 30,000 feet, we ought to be able to rebuild humint capabilities to the point where some Mullah Omar gets his favorite nephew’s 外卵 packed in ice in a baggie next time a US diplomatic mission gets trashed over the plight of the poor, poor Palestinians. When Pres. Trump imposed his “Muslim Ban”–actually a very specific and targeted ban in visas of the sort I had once advocated in dealing with specific areas such as the Fuzhou region of China which are hubs of people-smuggling and organizing illegal immigration–I gave it moderate support; now, I would be waving a sign cheering it on (Uncle Kepha is too old to jump and dance).
My exception to a visceral hatred of Islamic ferment is limited to some sympathy for East Turistan separatism and Hui demands for civil rights. Or, for at least as long as Beijing says it’s willing to blast my relatives in Taiwan in order to “liberate” them. The Chinese Communist Party knows it is the world’s last, best hope for Twentieth Century Totalitarianism, one of the few movements in history which can match Islam and the Sexual Revolution as a degenerative force.
May Ismail Haniyeh rest in pieces. Calling him the late “top dog” of Hamas is an insult to the whole canid family (and Uncle Kepha loves dogs only when they’re somebody else’s responsibility).

The BBC and the NYT have clearly gone over to the dark side. They have forsaken honesty and ethics in exchange for readers and advertisers.
