srael’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stood beside the U.N.’s Secretary
General Ban Ki-moon, and declared,
“Hamas is like ISIS, Hamas is like al-Qaeda, Hamas is like Hezbollah, Hamas is like
Boko Haram.”
The most significant element of this
statement is that Netanyahu is the only
world leader who has dared to point out

this obvious fact. Strategically, ISIS has a
united ideology, a clear belief system and a
common goal. It is the same ideology and
belief system as that of Hamas.
ISIS
Not long ago ISIS was much smaller in
numbers than Hamas and its range of operations matched its strength. Now that it
has grown exponentially, so have its aspirations. The original name, AQI (al-Qaeda
Iraq) became ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and

Syria), then became ISIL (change the word
“Syria” to “Levant” which includes all of
the Eastern Mediterranean) and finally has
become IS, the Islamic State – meaning the
entire world.
But how did it all begin? The founder of
what has become ISIS or the Islamic State,
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, was simply a street
thug, a free agent looking to create his own
terrorist organization. When the U.S.-led
invasion of Iraq began in 2003, Zarqawi
commanded a campaign of suicide bomb-

ings against Shiites across Iraq – with the
same tactics Yasser Arafat used in the Second Intifada against Israel. Zarqawi then
joined up with al-Qaeda and formed the
AQI, (al-Qaeda Iraq).
Zarqawi was killed in June 2006 when the
U.S. Air Force hit his hideout, 20 miles north
of Baghdad. His foreign militants, demoralized by Zarqawi’s death, melted away with
President George Bush’s surge in Iraq.
It was only in 2011, when American
troops left a vacuum in Iraq, that the AQI’s
new leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi took advantage of the Sunni’s feeling of resentment
against the Iraqi Shiite-dominated government.
Baghdadi’s vision was and is to take
over all Arab nations - as a start. Hamas’
vision is to take over all of “Palestine” – the
Holy Land from the Mediterranean to the
Jordan River for now. The Biblical Holy
Land does also include parts of Lebanon,
Syria, Jordan and Sinai. However, Hamas
is concentrating first on conquering “the occupied territories,” i.e. the area of the Holy
Land where the Jewish people now live.
Though both terrorist groups are Sunnis, the ISIS and Hamas dislike each other.
Hamas likes to portray itself as a victim
of Israeli aggression and usually hides its
terrorist acts from the cameras while ISIS
glorifies its terrorism with gory video clips
and pictures. Moreover, both have the same
goal to conquer and control the Holy Land.
HAMAS
Hamas is an offspring of the Jihadist
Muslim Brotherhood. And no one can say
that the Brotherhood doesn’t have global
aspirations for a Sharia governed Caliphate.
It has over 2,000 branches throughout the
world including in Western countries!
The only reason Hamas is not also spreading like a cancer across the Middle East – as
is ISIS – is because of Israel’s powerful army
and the Jewish people’s will to survive. Israel knows it cannot leave a vacuum or grow
lethargic or Hamas would metastasize in every nook and corner of Israel.
For this reason, there are no free and
open border crossings from Gaza into Israel. Even though the nations howl, Israel has not allowed an airport or seaport
in Gaza, for the simple reason they would
be used to ship in weapons to destroy the
Jewish state. Israel believes what Hamas
publically declares: that Hamas’ goal is to

kill every single Jew in the world. (Google
Hamas Constitution)
ISIS’ immediate goal is to wipe out the
Christians of Syria and Iraq plus minorities
like the Yazidi people, either by converting
them to Islam or killing them. This is a call
for genocide. ISIS and Hamas agree on one
major point: Both groups want to eliminate
an entire people group.
THE UN SUPPORTS HAMAS
The actions of the United Nations demonstrate they deeply sympathize with the
aspirations of Hamas, and are working
night and day to isolate Israel, threatening
to destroy her economy, convict her leaders
of war crimes and cut off weapon deliveries
to the tiny state.
During the 50-day war with Gaza terrorists, U.N. boss Ban Ki-moon arrived in
Israel to experience for himself some of the
4,565 Hamas rockets exploding throughout
the country, but had little to say about Israel’s “inconvenience.” It was like, basically,
“What’s the problem? Don’t you have the
Iron Dome?”
However, he did have extremely tough
language – not for Hamas, but for Israel.
He called Israel’s actions to protect herself
from Hamas’ attacks of war “a moral outrage,” a “criminal act,” “reprehensible”
and a “gross violation of international law.”
Ban Ki-moon never used such language
ABU BAKR AL-BAGHDADI, LEADER OF ISIS OR THE
ISLAMIC STATE
for even the likes of Syrian President
Bashar Assad when he gassed 1,700 of his
own people with chemical attacks. Actually the UN leader has never used that kind of
language to describe any other nation. Not
Iran, ISIS, or Putin who is busy conquering parts of the Ukraine and killing several
thousand citizens.
Notes author Rabbi Shmuley Boteach,
Ban Ki-moon has harsh and condemnatory language solely for Israel. In fact, most
of the world’s leaders claimed “outrage”
against Israel, not against Hamas. Cries of
“war crimes” are already abounding.
So what did they want Israel’s prime
minister to do? Ban Ki-moon demanded
that Mr. Netanyahu sit down with Hamas
and negotiate a peace agreement.
That seems like a reasonable idea. Or
does it? Why doesn’t he ask Iraq to work
out a peace agreement with ISIS? Or perhaps America could negotiate a settlement
with al-Qaeda.
Did Ban Ki-moon urge Nigeria to meet
half way with Boko Haram terrorists, who
burn down churches and the Christians in
them and kidnap hundreds of young girls,
forcing them to convert to Islam and then
selling them as sex slaves?
NO to all of the above!
Then why do the United Nations and
Western countries insist that Israel “stop fighting and start talking” with Hamas terrorists?
These world leaders say if Israel would
only give the Palestinians hope for a better
life, then perhaps they would make peace
with Israel. These same leaders ignore all
the reasons this won’t happen. First of all,
the UN and the Western countries have
given the Palestinians billions and billions
of dollars with which they could have built
a Middle Eastern Singapore. Until today,
the UN feeds them, and the Hamas leaders have become lavishly wealthy. Unfortunately, instead of building neighborhoods and businesses, Hamas leaders steal
the money to create the largest business
in Gaza – constructing attack tunnels and
building weapons to destroy Israel.
The fact is there are many similarities
between all Islamic terrorist groups. Their
fundamental Islamic religion drives them
to seek to conquer the world, ultimately
to force all human beings to convert to
Islam and accept Sharia law as their way
of life, and to destroy whoever disagrees
with them.

H
ere’s a puzzle for the world’s leaders who demand Israel make peace
with the Palestinians.
Mahmoud Abbas was voted in as President of the State of Palestine on January
15, 2005. He was to serve four years until
January 9, 2009, when new elections were
to be held, but that didn’t happen. Abbas is

ing Israel. Incredibly, throughout the Arab
world, the poor man, the rich man, the day
laborer and the doctor, historian, archeologist – virtually all actually believe these
lies. They have rewritten history.
We who know the Bible are well aware
there is a massive unseen world with evil
spirits directing evil people who accept this
path of death. The greatest tragedy of these
terrorist groups is the fact they take small
children and make them into monsters born
only to murder, rape and torture.
It is incredible to learn that 16% of all
French people sympathize with ISIS. It
does show the growing strength and influence of the some 6,000,000 Muslims living
in France. The ruling spiritual undergirding of Islam is death. As the French – and
all Europeans – are seduced into believing
Israel deserves destruction by the hand of
the rightful owners of the Holy Land, they
become advocates and defenders of terror
against Israel. From there, it’s all downhill.
(newsweek.com; 26Aug2014)
For Islamic believers, the god Allah creates the future. The world will become a
Caliphate, ruling all peoples who will become Muslims and live according to Sharia
law. This, then, is a goal worth giving your
life for, especially when you can kill, rape
and torture the infidels - anyone not like you.
But the greatest incentive to these young
Muslim men is their belief that whatever is
forbidden in this world will be approved in
heaven. Seventy-two virgins will be waiting
for those who kill and are killed.
SPIRITUALLY SPEAKING
Satan, the god of this world, uses many
different devices. In the West, atheists and
many of those leaning to the extreme left,
have left the standards of the Bible. Therefore they have no compass of right and
righteousness. They wander in confusion,
but end up being tolerant of everyone except those who follow the One True God.
Those who are of the extreme right such
as the Ku Klux Klan, Nazis or Islamic Jihadists have a strong compass, but a false
one. Their philosophies are built on the
absolute certainty of their flawed theology
and a fierce hatred of those different from
themselves – both attributes are the fruit of
the god of this world.
As Europeans have moved away from
their foundational belief in God, they have
moved both left and right – into tolerance
of Islamic terrorism and hatred of the Jewish people.
It is amazing to note that Israel, which is
7
the center of Satan’s plan to destroy the human race, is often attacked first. When the
nations who have the ability to help Israel
don’t, they then find themselves having to
deal with the same issue – but this time it
threatens them.
There is little doubt the world is falling
into chaos and through technology evil will
increase exponentially. And so will suffering. How terrible it will be to live in the
coming darkness and hopelessness, worshiping the wrong god.
ISIS’ Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi gives praise
to his god:
“In the name of Allah the merciful
We swear allegiance
To the prince of the faithful
And the caliph of the Muslims
Allah is Great.”
As will all the nations, Israel will feel
the hatred of the god of this world. But the
Lord has said, and so shall it be:
“For God will save Zion
And build the cities of Judah,
That they may dwell there and possess it.
Also, the descendants of His servants
shall inherit it,
And those who love His name shall
dwell in it.”
Psalms 69:35-36
ISMAIL HANEYEH, FORMER PRIME MINISTER OF THE
PALESTINIAN NATIONAL AUTHORITY
Today, after the recent 50-day war with
Hamas, professional polls reveal that if
elections were held today, a Hamas terrorist leader would be the next Palestinian
prime minister, receiving 61% of the vote,
while Mahmoud Abbas of Fatah would
get only 32%. In fact, Hamas’ popularity
is higher in the West Bank (66%) than in
Gaza (53%)!
Also, if elections for the Palestinian parliament were held now, Hamas would win
again, hands down. Furthermore, a majority of Palestinians – 53% – say they support
armed struggle against Israel, while 20%
say nonviolence is the best way to achieve
statehood. (jpost.com; 3Sept2014)
Translation: According to this poll,
when the next Palestinian democratic
elections are held, the Hamas terrorist organization will become the new rulers of
both Gaza and Judea and Samaria – the
West Bank. As terrorism would spread
throughout Judea and Samaria (just as
it has in Gaza) Israel’s existence would
be in mortal danger. No civilian planes
would fly into Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion airport, tourism would come to a dead stop,
and Israelis would be living in bomb
shelters throughout the entire country.
Letting Hamas rule in the West Bank
would be the same as ISIS moving into
Baghdad, or Boko Haram into Nigeria’s
capital, Lagos.
But that’s not all. Former Mossad chief
Efraim Halevy says at least 10 Israeli Arabs
have volunteered to fight with ISIS and, he
says, they pose a greater threat than the possibility of ISIS threatening Israel’s borders.
The danger that Israeli Arabs will be attracted to this new thug on the block is of considerable concern to Israel’s security officials.
In fact, Egypt is already facing ISIS
fighters in the Sinai Desert, and ISIS flags
have been seen in some of Israel’s Arab villages and in the West Bank.
