'All you have to do is burn': Hamas calls to set fires in Jerusalem, West Bank

[Mosby]

Hamas posted a message encouraging Palestinians to "burn whatever you can of groves, forests, and settler homes," on Telegram on Wednesday.

"Youth of the West Bank, youth of Jerusalem, and those inside Israel, set their cars ablaze... Gaza awaits the revenge of the free," the terrorist organization wrote.

As the wildfires continue to burn across central Israel, the channel posted a photo of a masked person setting fire to a field as a town burns in the background, with the text "Settlers' homes will be ashes under the feet of the revolutionaries" and the hashtag "Burn settlers' houses."

Why would anyone want to burn Jerusalem to the ground?

[Ponietz]

1. Hamas still vying to be history's absolute stupidest political movement

[malaise]

2. You mean like Israel has done to Gaza with Western complicity

That is all

8. People had to know it would come to something like this.

Desperate people will eventually fight with the weapons they have. No one seems to learn from history. Disregard it at your own peril.

3. Multiple arrests have been made

Multiple arrests have been made in connection to the horrible fires spreading across the Jerusalem hills.

16 injured and dozens of cars were abandoned on route 1 where traffic built up. People fled their vehicles led and ran.

Meanwhile, Arabic social media is filled with calls to light more fires. People who love a land don’t burn it. This is not a new tactic of Palestinians or Arabs in opposition to Jews. They used fires in 2021 in southern Israel sending incendiary devices on kites into Israeli communities, and in 1936-39 they intentionally set fire to Jewish fields and used arson for terrorism.

4. Wait just a minute,

didn't a DU member, won't name who it was, just about a month or so ago claim that HAMAs was trying to honor their side of the cease fire agreement despite evidence to the contrary?
When called out on that ridiculous post, they doubled down.
Sure would like to hear what they have to say now, although I suspect that it be defending HAMA's actions.

I think you know who I'm talking about.

6. Oh, but HAMAs are just freedom fighters,

at least according to some here.

7. Israel is a Jewish state, and Jerusalem its eternal and indivisible capital! Period.

These terrorist scum can burn with the fires.
