I mentioned yesterday
the tense intra-Hamas discussions in Damascus as the Gaza branch of Hamas grows tired of being methodically pummeled by the IDF. Now there are rumblings as attempts by Cairo to intervene have been smacked down by Tehran through Damascus. Undoubtedly, an atomic Iran is the objective here.
If this all sounds a little complicated let me try and explain a little.
1. Iran wants to destroy Israel, and quite possibly the world.
2. To do this they are building an atomic bomb.
3. We all know about this, but only Israel has the backbone to actually do anything about it pre-emptively.
4. Iran has been financing Hamas for years so that Hamas will wage war on Israel... not to win, but to distract and delay Israeli action against Iran.
5. Right now it is very important to Iran to have Israel's attention on Hamas.
In fact, the Jerusalem Post is reporting today that Iran has bluntly told Hamas that if they stop fighting, Hamas gets no more Iranian financing. To those of us who aren't terrorists, that's like losing your main client.
From the J-Post:
"As soon as the Iranians heard about the Egyptian cease-fire initiative, they dispatched the two officials to Damascus on an urgent mission to warn the Palestinians against accepting it," the Egyptian government official told the Post.
"The Iranians threatened to stop weapons supplies and funding to the Palestinian factions if they agreed to a cease-fire with Israel. The Iranians want to fight Israel and the US indirectly. They are doing this through Hamas in Palestine and Hizbullah in Lebanon."
The official pointed out that the Iranians were applying "double standards" regarding the current conflict - on the one hand, they encouraged Iranian men to volunteer to fight alongside Hamas; on the other hand, Iran's spiritual leader, Ali Khamenei, told the volunteers that they would not be permitted to join the fight against Israel.
This seems to be a pattern with these jackasses... they never want to stand and have a fight. In fact, that characteristic is one of the primary causes behind the Palestinian conflict, in my opinion. Israel's land- and oil-rich neighbors don't want a safe or successful Palestine. They want to use the Palestinians to wage war on Israel by proxy.
The article goes on to explain:
"The Iranians never fired one bullet at Israel," he said. "But now they are trying to appear as if they are participating in the war against Israel. The leaders of Teheran don't care about the innocent civilians who are being killed in the Gaza Strip."
The Egyptian official accused Iran of "encouraging" Hamas to continue firing rockets at Israel with the hope that this would trigger a war that would divert attention from Iran's nuclear plans.
"This conflict serves the interests of the Iranians," he said. "They are satisfied because the violence in the Gaza Strip has diverted attention from their nuclear ambitions. The Iranians are also hoping to use the Palestinian issue as a 'powerful card' in future talks with the Americans.
"They want to show that they have control over Hamas and many Palestinians."
An Egyptian official goes on to describe how being Iran's bitch has affected Hamas' credibility on the Arab steet...
Karam Jaber, editor of the semi-official Egyptian weekly Roz Al-Youssef magazine, said that Hamas was caught between the Syrian anvil and the Iranian hammer. The Iranians, he said, prevented Hamas from negotiating a cease-fire with Israel, while the Syrians were blackmailing and intimidating the Hamas leaders in Damascus.
"History won't forget to mention that Hamas had inflicted death and destruction on the Palestinians," he said. "We hope that Hamas has learned the lesson and realizes that it has been fighting a war on behalf of others. We hope the Hamas leaders will realize that they are fighting a destructive war on behalf of the Iranians and Syrians."
Egyptian political analyst Magdi Khalil said he shared the view of the Palestinian Authority and Egypt that Hamas was responsible for the war in the Gaza Strip. "Ever since Hamas seized control over the Gaza Strip in 2007, they turned the area into hell," he said. "They imposed restrictions on the people there and even prevented them from performing the pilgrimage to Mecca."
The analyst said that the head of the Egyptian General Intelligence Service was right when he recently described Hamas as a group of gangsters. "Hamas and its masters in Damascus and Teheran want to spread chaos in Egypt," he said. "They want to solve the problem of the Gaza Strip by handing the area over to Egypt. They want to create a homeland for the Palestinians in Sinai."
Maybe Hamas can replace Iran's funding with a new client... Reportedly one of the first things Obama\'s
going to do is sit down with Hamas.
