Hamas ‘Unendorses’ Obama: A Worthless Terrorist Posture

Sami Abu Zuhri :: Hamas Official in GazaSami Abu Zuhri, the Hamas official nabbed by EU officials in 2006 trying to smuggle a suitcase full of €600,000 – US$800,000 from Egypt into Gaza now is now ‘unendorsing’ Barack Obama for U.S. President.


According to Reuters, Zuhri alleged that:

“Hamas does not differentiate between the two presidential candidates, Obama and McCain, because their policies regarding the Arab-Israel conflict are the same and are hostile to us, therefore we do have no preference and are not wishing for either of them to win,” Zuhri said.

Fascinating words from a man who openly praised a deadly attack by a Palestinian guman on Jewish religious students studying at a Yeshiva in Jersusalem. In March, the Zuhri lauded the deadly massacre as a “heroic attack.”

U.S. presidential candidates neither need, nor want the support of terrorists like Hamas, its supporters, and heinous attacks against innocent civilians.

Anti-Aircraft, Anti-Tank Weapons Destined for Gaza Seized by Egypt

Egyptian security forces seized a cache of heavy weapons in mountains roughly 48 miles south of Rafah the Gaza strip.

One report said that 30 anti-aircraft missiles, anti-tank weapons, 3,000 bullets and rifles were confiscated, but that no suspects were caught.

Hamas’ weapons smuggling operations continue from Egypt into Gaza. The weapons, training, and support continues to come from Iran.

Given that Israel told Egypt that it’s Arab neighbor must halt smuggling of weapons and other materials into Gaza as a pre-condition to any possible ceasefire with Hamas, this incident should not come as a surprise.

Egyptian sources said that the mountain region where the weapons where discovered was also used by terrorist groups charged with the 2004 and 2005 bombings of Egyptian resorts in Taba and Sharm el-Sheikh.

Egypt’s Delusional Vision of Security Alongside Gaza

Filed under: Egypt,Hamas Weapons Smuggling,Rafah,Uncategorized — No To Terror @ 1:59 am

On Sunday, a Lebanese newspaper quoted a high ranking Egyptian security source who discussed restoring security to the Gaza’s wild, wild west-styled Rafah border crossing.


According to Al Akhbar, the Egyptian security official said that there was “full agreement between Israelis and Palestinians on the Egyptian vision of calm in the Gaza Strip.” That claim only appears credible if the Palestinians alleged to be in “full agreement” were aligned with Mahmoud Abbas, President of the Palestinian Authority.

Real security along Gaza’s border with Egypt would mean an iron-clad halt to the arms smuggling supplied by Iran, Syria, and others to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza.

The smuggling continues, and with it, daily terror attacks with Hamas rockets against Israeli civilians.

The Egyptians can and must do more to stop this weapons smuggling.
