Hebrew Speaking-ISIS Jihadi Threatens Israel, Jews Worldwide In New Video
Source: Jerusalem Post
The Islamic fundamentalist organization known as Islamic State released a video Friday, showing one of its jihadi militants threatening to attack Israelis in Hebrew, promising that "soon there will not be one Jew left in Jerusalem."
ISIS's Syrian branch posted the clip to Youtube, depicting a masked terrorist, dressed in military fatigues and holding a rifle, speaking Hebrew with an Arabic accent, while making ominous threats against the Jewish State.
"We will enter al-Aksa mosque as conquerors, using our cars as bombs to strike the Jewish ramparts," the ISIS militant said.
"Do what you will in the meantime until we reach you," the jihadi continues. "Then we will charge you ten-fold for the crimes" you have committed against the Palestinian people.

(61,872 posts)They've threatened Fatah. They've bombed Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza.
They're fighting Hamas in Syria. They seem to be at war with everybody.

(16,191 posts)Fatah is based on Palestinian nationalism, but their politics are center-left and they openly push for a secular socialist Palestinian government. While they're anti-Israel, they're not Islamists and aren't driven by religion. IS does not view them as an "Islamic" government.
Hamas splintered away from the Muslim Brotherhood. They ARE Islamists, but of a more traditional Palestinian variety. They believe, for example, that women should be required to wear the hijab, but that wearing a burkha is a personal choice (there ARE some more radical element in their government who want stricter rules, and their influence has been growing in the past few years, but the official line doesn't require them). Hamas also does not object to Christians and other minorities living in their territory, so long as they follow the law. That makes them un-Islamic "moderates" to the IS.

The knife attacks have garnered publicity, and with ISIS being bombed by Russia, it doesn't help to seek a new source of cannon fodder to throw into their war.

(11,619 posts)They attacked Palastinian refugee camps on Syria until now. And as to the Russians, they are a new player and for Isis yo open a line to violent youth is a natural for them.
