Got to love Trump canceling payments of support to the Palestinians. Now just half a year later, the Palestinians (Iran backed) are demanding Israel pay $15,000,000/month or they will bomb and terrorize them.
Israel’s non-confrontational stance led to Hamas ransom demand
Oct 28, 2018 @ 18:03 Al Qods Brigades, Gaza, Hamas missiles, Hamas ultimatum, IDF spokesman, Islamic Jihad
Fork out $15m in cash per month to else face more missile and border attacks. Hamas slapped this ultimatum (ransom demand) before Israel on Saturday night, Oct. 27, just hours after more 50 Palestinian missiles slammed into Israel from the Gaza Strip during Friday night and Saturday morning. This demand found Israeli military officials again working overtime to let the Palestinian Hamas terrorists off the hook, as they have done in the seven months of violence. The IDF spokesman’s latest dodge was to blame not Hamas, but the pro-Iranian Palestinian Islamic Jihad for the latest barrage, claiming that it was ordered by Al Qods chief Gen. Qassem Soleimani, commander of Iran’s regional warfronts, with Damascus’ approval.
Hamas, in recognition of the Israeli gesture, held its fire from Saturday noon. Israel too halted its tit-for-tat air strikes on 87 Hamas and Jihad targets in the Gaza Strip.
The IDF’s playdown of Hamas’ conduct is consistent. Last Wednesday, when heavy Grad missiles were aimed at Beersheba and central Israel, the IDF spokesman came up with this narrative: They were not fired deliberately by terrorists, but set off when their launchers’ electrics were triggered by lightning. He did not explain how the battery released only two missiles in different directions – one flying north and the other east, where it smashed into a Beersheba home. Hamas picked up on this opening and said the volley had been a mistake.
But there are no mistakes about the mobs attacking Israeli soldiers guarding the border fence – not just on Fridays, but almost every day, along with the daily terror-by-arson incendiary balloons. Saturday night, Hamas demanded an Israeli pledge of a regular $15m per month in cash – to be delivered before the end of the week, else the raging Gaza mobs – 15,000 strong last Friday – will be out again on the border fence this Friday with their home-made bombs, grenades, rocks and burning tires for the soldiers, and more missiles for the Israeli communities next door.
Israel’s “reward” for withholding effective action for keeping Hamas’s seven-month violence in check is therefore a demand for ransom, or protection money, under threat of violence.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, in his first response to this outrageous demand, told the weekly cabinet meeting on Sunday: “Israel will not at any stage meet an ultimatum from Hamas.” He did not explain how Hamas had been allowed to become brazen enough to slap an ultimatum in Israel’s face. The prime minister’s next move was to warn the Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas against carrying out his threat to cut off all financial transfers from Ramallah to Gaza in order to starve Hamas into submission. He already withholds payment for the enclave’s electric bills. In other words, Israel has passed the buck for the Hamas ultimatum to the Palestinian leader.
Another notable feature of IDF finger-pointing at the Islamic Jihad was a threat: “No one is safe from Israeli punishment which may also take place outside the Gaza Strip,” said the spokesman, issuing Israel’s first open threat to attack Iran’s Al Qods Brigades in Syria.
DEBKAfile’s military sources report that these brigades, composed mainly of Iraqi Shiite militias under Iranian officers, are posted in the eastern Syrian town of Abu Kamal and Al Qaim in western Iraq. Additional groups are located outside the Syrian towns of Hama and Aleppo. The latter are close enough to the Syrian town of Masyaf to be shielded by the newly-deployed Russia S-300 air defense missiles. It is hard to imagine the Israeli air force which, since this deployment, has stayed out of Syrian skies. risking strikes on those Iranian Al-Qods forces. However, the militias Iran has positioned in eastern Syria are another matter. If Israel decides to target Iranian forces in Syria, those positoned close to the Syrian-Iraqi border would be the most vulnerable. Such an attack would also serve the purpose of severing Iran’s coveted land bridge through Iraq to Syria.

Got to love Trump canceling payments of support to the Palestinians and making Jerusalem the capital of Israel. Now just half a year later, the Palestinians (Iran backed) are demanding Israel pay $15,000,000/month or they will bomb and terrorize them.
Obama was such the chump to pay these blackmails or the Palestinians and Iranians.

One of the worst results of a incompetent Barack Hussein Obama as President that keeps on giving.
200 mass graves of thousands of ISIS victims found...
That is not news. When I was following that blog tracking the War on ISIS there were many, many links to articles on the wanton slaughter going on. I posted some comments about it, but never shared any of the links nor summarized the details. It was too disturbing. In fact, just posting this has brought back some of the memories...and it makes me shutter. Y'all know me. I am no snowflake or prone to getting overly upset about horrible stories. But...ISIS was beyond evil.Originally Posted by TYLERTECHSAS
Yes, and it continues even today as posted. So sad! If Obama only had just tries to stop the slaughter.
Another reason Obama will continue to add to his Worst President Ever title.
Obama needs to just go away with class like the Bush family did, and unlike the Clinton's, John Kerry, IGore and Jimmy Carter still haven't done.
Obama is like a fine red wine that has improved with age.
You are pathetic.
On one of the many political blogs I post on, some person just claimed that "Trump's 4% growth in GDP only applies to the 1%." Others took that person to task for not understanding what "GDP" is, but they have mostly been "shouted" down by others agreeing with the original post. . Of course these same uninformed people think obummer was great for the US economy. There is no way to deal with that level of ignorance.
For the past several decades gains in productivity have gone into owners profits at a far faster rate than they have gone into wages.
And just what do you think makes it possible for those business owners to grow their companies and thereby increase the number of workers they employ? That investment comes from those very PROFITS that people like you deem to be so evil. Man, I know you're smarter than what your posts portray you to be, but perhaps you should consider taking an Economics course or two.
I understand how capitalism works better than most of you.
Look at how productivity increases stopped translating into wage increases.

Trickle down economics doesn’t work as well in an economy where reinvestment doesn’t correlate strongly with hiring and wages. Automation, globalization of markets and other inevitable results of technological growth caused it. This Harvard Business School professor thinks reinvestment in “the commons” is needed as part of the answer.

When defeated in a debate - "I am smarter than you because I'm more educated".
The Harvard professor thinks government should decide who "the commons" are and force more socialism. You know that.
