Hamas Turns On Long-Time Ally Bashar Assad, Backs Revolt Against Syrian Regime…
To say they were allies is an understatement, Hamas’ exiled leadership has been based in Syria under the protection of the Assad regime.
CAIRO/GAZA, Feb 24 (Reuters) – Leaders of the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas turned publicly against their long-time ally President Bashar al-Assad of Syria on Friday, endorsing the revolt aimed at overthrowing his dynastic rule.
The policy shift deprives Assad of one of his few remaining Sunni Muslim supporters in the Arab world and deepens his international isolation. It was announced in Hamas speeches at Friday prayers inCairo and a rally in the Gaza Strip.
Hamas went public after nearly a year of equivocating as Assad’s army, largely led by fellow members of the president’s Alawite sect, has crushed mainly Sunni protesters and rebels.
In a Middle East split along sectarian lines between Shi’ite and Sunni Islam, the public abandonment of Assad casts immediate questions over Hamas’s future ties with its principal backer Iran, which has stuck by its ally Assad, as well as with Iran’s fellow Shi’ite allies in Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement.
“I salute all the nations of the Arab Spring and I salute the heroic people of Syria who are striving for freedom, democracy and reform,” Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, visiting Egypt from the Gaza Strip, told thousands of Friday worshippers at Cairo’s al-Azhar mosque.
“We are marching towards Syria, with millions of martyrs,” chanted worshippers at al-Azhar, home to one of the Sunni world’s highest seats of learning. “No Hezbollah and no Iran.

Er, did they clear this with Ahmadinnerjacket?
If Hamas has turned against Assad, Barry will arm the rebels
Hey, after the rebels take Syria, we can move all those Palestinians to Syria and solve two problems at once.
No honor among sub-humans.
OT
LMAO, Romney doubles down on “the trees are the right height.”

What an unbelievable tool.
This guy, again! I keep having this creepy notion he’s gonna take up residence some how in the USA.
If they need some magnetic bombs then I’m sure they know who to call.
Hamas has another muzzie flag with algae green in it. Must be where Barry got his idea.
We may find out what happen to those WMD’s that disappeared from Iraq
Wait, who is it we are arming again?
@Woz – Some troll named homeless.
“We may find out what happen to those WMD’s that disappeared from Iraq”
We may find out where those WMD’s are now aimed at, too. It’s what, like 100 miles to Tel Aviv?
Well, hello muslim brotherhood!
Smart Power would be to back both sides of this conflict till they wiped each other off the map, right now Barry is only backing one.
They’re turning on him because they see the chance to take the reins of power.
yep, this is both a good and a bad thing, the funding of and alliance that Iran had with hamas was simply based off mutual hatred of Israel, hamas is a Muslim Brotherhood group, the shia/sunni tensions are widening and this will lead to greater conflict with Iran and sunni states, including in Iraq, however the MB in egypt hates Israel just as much and now what you will see is the entire Egyptian border with Israel being turned into one large rocket launching pad/terrorist base, tensions with Egypt will heighten to pre 67 levels, as the leadership in Egypt promises to invade and destroy Israel

Reverse that. Because Barry and Clinton are going to arm the rebels Hamas will turn against Assad…
Hamas doesn’t want to get caught on the wrong side of the fence. They are anticipating that Assad will fall.
But does this mean that Sunni Hamas will be opposed to the Iran-backed Hezbollah? Hezbollah, should still be allied with Syria, as they are the puppets of Iran.
I readlily admit it, I don’t understand most of what is taking place there — the names of the players, what their objectives are. I don’t even have an overview perspective as to just what it is is going on.
If it wasn’t WW3 in the making it would be true poetic justice to watch Iran’s home made monster turn around and devour Imadinnerjacket and Khamenei. These idiots are like arsonists that believe that only their enemies will get devoured by the wildfire they just lit.
This gal has it just right. Watch the whole thing. “My Apology to President Karai on Behalf of Americans”

Take note .. this is how Islam works .. muslim gang wars
Nimrodian proverb: “I against my brother; I and my brother against our cousin; my brother and our cousin against the neighbors; all of us against the strangers.”
Gen 16:12…And he Ishamel will be as a wild ass among men, his hand will be against every man & every man’s hand against him, and he will live to the east & on the borders of all his kinsmen…
There’s a sign that Hamas thinks they can take over Syria on their own – no more reason to keep their hand up Assad’s ass and moving him all around. Anyone in the Syrian nation got any balls at all to take their country back?
The escalation of the muslime brotherhood, thank you Barry.
May you reap what you sow, God have mercy on your soul.
Will this goon be next in time to receive a NOBEL PEACE PRIZE?

Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood
The recent meeting in Cairo of the supreme guide of the Muslim Brotherhood and Ismail Haniyeh is highly significant, marking the expansion of Hamas’s regional clout, writes Ramzy Baroud
http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2011/1079/op8.htm
There was an unmistakable hint of triumph in the comments made by Ismail Haniyeh, prime minister of the elected Hamas government in Gaza, when he was hosted by Mohamed Badie, the supreme guide of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood.
Both leaders said what would be expected of them under these circumstances. Haniyeh asserted that his movement’s “presence with the Brotherhood threatens the Israeli entity,” and Badie reaffirmed the Brotherhood’s commitment to “issues of liberation, foremost the Palestinian issue”
(MENA and AP, 26 December).
It is very telling that Haniyeh’s first official visit outside Gaza as prime minister was to Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood headquarters in Cairo’s Moqattam district.
The recent Cairo meeting between Haniyeh and Badie could be understood within that historical context, representing a triumphant reunion and possibly open coordination.
This would once again rejuvenate the Brotherhood’s Palestine connection, and grant Hamas greater political leverage after years of isolation, and despite the current political turmoil in the region.

The reason islam spreads so well in American prisons is because no spiritual awakening is required—it just confirms thugs in their thuggery.
