Palestinian Islamic Jihad & Hamas Ease Tensions in Light of Mutual Enemy, Israel

SOURCE: (Behold Israel)

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and Hamas sort out their differences amid their common enemy, Israel; the PIJ attacked a notable Hamas representative earlier this week; PIJ has criticized Hamas for not playing a bigger role in the attacks on Israel; al-Batsh: We share the same destiny and enemy.


The two terror organizations, Palestinian Islamic Jihad & Hamas, have resolved their differences (at least for the time being) after the PIJ attacked Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahar on Friday. The attack came in the wake of the PIJ criticizing Hamas for not playing a more significant role in the attacks on Israel. When Zahar arrived at a mourning tent on the Gaza Strip to offer his sympathies regarding the death of Bahaa Abu al-Ata, the PIJ threw rocks at him and his security as they chanted, โ€œDeath to Hamas!โ€ and โ€œHamas go away!โ€. No injuries were reported.

Khaled al-Batsh and the father of al-Ata would later visit Zahar and apologize for what took place when he came to visit at the tent of mourning. In summary, al-Batsh stated:

โ€œWe apologize to our brother, Mahmoud Zahar, for the unfortunate incident that took place today. We wish to affirm our strong relationship with Hamas. We share the same destiny and enemy.

Ultimately, the motivation behind their willingness to move on from their differences is their mutual hatred for their common enemy, Israel. In the last week, the PIJ has launched over 450 missiles, resulting in zero Israeli deaths and a very high success rate by the Iron Dome.

As the two groups found common ground for reconciliation, they are reported to now be working together to โ€œstrengthen cooperation, coordination, and consultationsโ€ฆThe two also praised the performance of the Palestinian resistance groups during the last confrontation with Israel.โ€

As all of these smaller terror proxies continue their campaign to destroy Israel, bear in mind that the financier and force behind them is none other than Iran.

Isaiah 41:11-13 KJV – “Behold, all they that were incensed against thee [Israel] shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.”

The Future Of The Temple Mount: What The Bible Says About The Most Explosive Flashpoint In The Middle East

The Temple Mount has frequently been the location of violent flashpoints. The Hamas-led massacre of Israelis on October 7th, 2023, was called โ€œOperation Al-Aqsa Floodโ€ by the Iranian terror proxy. Hamas commanders stated that the operation was a direct response to Israeli raids, tensions, and perceived threats regarding the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem on the Temple Mount. Though this was the stated excuse, I believe this was nothing more than camouflage for their real murderous motivations. Nevertheless, it aptly demonstrates the flashpoint of the Temple Mount. In recent days, the status quo has been imperiled. Rumblings on the Temple Mount threaten to spread into a wider conflict.

An Inversion Ofย Godโ€™s Design: New Study Says Human Population Needs To Be Cut In Half

The modern environmental movement is about more than just protecting earthโ€™s creatures and resources (something we must do as good stewards ofย Godโ€™sย creation)โ€”itโ€™s an inversion ofย Godโ€™s design. This movement puts theย creationย in dominion over manโ€”the opposite of whatย Godย instructed.ย Godย formed earth for mankind, to use, to tend and keep, to exercise dominion over, to enjoy, and to glorifyย Godย with: "The heavens are the heavens of Yahweh, But the earth He has given to the sons of men" (Psalm 115:16). But todayโ€™s environmentalism says humans are a blight, a disease, on this planet and we need to start removing ourselves for the betterment of everything else. Consider this quote from aย new studyย that claims we need to halve the world population, taking it from 8 billion to less than 4 billion, by 2200.

Michele Bachmannโ€™s Advice To The President: โ€˜Take The Handcuffs Off Of Israelโ€™

Michele Bachmann, a former congresswoman, 2012 Presidential Candidate, and outspoken friend of the Jewish State, advised the President to โ€œtake the handcuffs off of Israelโ€ and enable the nation to handle its own self-defense unencumbered. On the premiere episode ofย โ€œFalling Into Placeโ€ย alongside co-hostย Jan Markell, Bachmann noted that Israel is being strong-armed into absorbing attacks on its nationโ€”something that the United States, if it were in the same position, would never deem acceptable.
