An American Joins the ‘PC Terrorists’

1753084290Another young American man has given his life while fighting in the ranks of Islamist terrorists abroad. But this time, instead of being met with universal condemnations and scorn, the young terrorist is being greeted with sympathetic news accounts and “even-handed” statements from the State Department — all because he joined the politically correct terrorists, that is, the Palestinians.

Just think. When Eric Harroun of Arizona joined an Al Qaeda group fighting in Syria last year, he was arrested as soon as he tried to re-enter the United States.

When Douglas McCain of Minnesota was killed in August while taking part in an ISIS attack in Syria, a senior Obama administration official told NBC that “the threat we are most concerned about to the homeland is that of fighters like this returning to the U.S. and committing acts of terrorism.”

When three young Muslim women from Colorado were caught on their way to try to join ISIS, the Obama administration strongly condemned them.

But when U.S. citizen Orwa Abdel Hammad, a former resident of New Orleans, took part in an Islamist terrorist attack in the Middle East in October, the response from the Obama administration was oh so different.

Hammad was a Palestinian Arab with American citizenship. On Friday, October 24, decided to take part in the wave of Islamist violence against Jews that has been engulfing Israel in recent weeks.

Hammad positioned himself alongside Highway 60, north of Jerusalem, and prepared a Molotov cocktail. Spotting an approaching Israeli motorist, Hammad rose to hurl the flaming bottle of gasoline. The goal was to set the Israeli car on fire, so that its drivers and passengers would be burned alive.

Because they were Jews.

Fortunately, Israeli soldiers on a stakeout shot Hammad dead.

It turns out that Hammad was the cousin of a Palestinian terrorist who murdered ten Israelis in an attack in 2002. He was the nephew of a terrorist who died in a terrorist attack in 1989. And one of Hammad’s own cousins admitted to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz that he and Hammad were among a group of Palestinian Arabs who were taking part in attacks on Israeli motorists.

The New York Times’ account of the attack did not mention anything about Hammad’s quite relevant family lineage or his cousin’s testimony. The Times’ headline on the story began “Israeli Troops Kill Palestinian Teenager…” –not “Palestinian Teenager Tries to Burn Israelis Alive…”

And while the dead terrorist Douglas McCain was denounced by the Obama administration as a grave threat to America, the dead terrorist Orwa Hammad was warmly embraced by the Obama administration.

State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki announced that the administration had sent its “deepest condolences” to the Hammad family. Psaki demanded that the Israeli government undertake “a speedy and transparent investigation” of the killing of Hammad. She called on “all parties to help restore calm and avoid escalating tensions in the wake of the tragic recent incidents in Jerusalem and the West Bank.”

Psaki in no way called on the Palestinian Authority — in whose territory Hammad resided — to investigate its young people who are trying to burn Israelis alive.

Nor did Psaki make any distinction between Palestinian terrorists and Israelis acting in self-defense. Instead, it was the fearsomely familiar Obama moral equivalency: “all parties” should be “calm”; “all parties” should “avoid escalating tensions.”

Psaki called the killing of Orwa Hammad “tragic.”

She got her tragedies wrong.

It’s a tragedy that the Palestinian Authority actively incites its young people to try to murder Israelis.

It’s a tragedy when American citizens take part in Islamist terrorism, whether in Syria or Israel.

And it’s a tragedy — actually, an outrage — when the United States government cannot distinguish between victim and aggressor, between right and wrong, or between good and evil.

    The administration is filled with Jew-haters.

    I wonder what Jennifer Psaki would say if some one threw a ignited bottle of fuel through the windscreen of one of her family members. And if that person was shot, would she call it tragic?

      She would cheer. That’s how crazy these people are.

      I don’t wish this on anyone, but I think @EmpressTrudy:disqus’s comment below is probably right :(

  • UCSPanther

    Good riddance to Orwa Hammed. I hope he “enjoyed” the bullets those IDF servicemen fed him as a reward for his cowardly crimes.

      I hope we stop benefits to that family and bill them for the costs to stop the kid they so lovingly trained to be evil.

    This article is superb. Thank you for pointing out the hypocrisy, not only of the US and especially the State Department, but of the entire world.

    “Fortunately, Israeli soldiers on a stakeout shot Hammad dead.” So may be the end of all the Enemies of Hashem.

    We used to be able to aid in sending these criminals along, but a few Jews were put in gaol for defending their lives or their kids’. But it is nice to see a soldier doing his job – this time – fast enough to save the people in the car from injury or death.

    Very good article. But the present United States government can distinguish between good and evil okay – they’re passionately on the side of evil.

  • SoCalMike

    Jen Psaki and the rest of the like-minded Jew-hating parasites infesting the State Department are a giant tumor on the body of American policy.
    They must be rooted out.
    That’s a question for a moderator to ask the candidates in 2016 if the Repubes could ever find the guts to request like-minded or truly moderate moderators instead of the left wing frauds like Candy Crowley.

    I hate to rain on the writers’ parade, but Muslims aren’t terrorists. Indeed, they don’t murder innocent civilians in cold blood like terrorists do because they are also terrorists too. Instead, they do it because they are jihadists, as waging jihad, which is a so-called holy war waged by ALL MUSLIMS IN THE WORLD by any and all means against ALL INFIDELS IN THE WORLD to ultimately make Islam and its followers supreme throughout the world, is a fundamental holy obligation COMPULSORY for All MUSLIMS IN THE WORLD in one form or another. Thus, Muslims kill innocent infidels in cold blood, not because they are terrorists too, but because they are waging a so-called holy war against ALL INFIDELS IN THE WORLD, combatants and non-combatants alike, to ultimately make Islam supreme, and because innocent civilian infidels happen to make the easiest targets for them, then that is who they primarily target.

    Hence, as opposed to terrorists, which are radicals and extremists that only comprise a small minority of the societies that produce them, ALL MUSLIMS IN THE WORLD, on the other hand, are also jihadists in one form or another, and unlike terrorism which is perpetrated for as many reasons as there are terrorists, jihad, in stark contrast, is always and only perpetrated in the cause of Allah to ultimately make Islam and its followers supreme.

    a senior Obama administration official told NBC that “the threat we are most concerned about to the homeland is that of fighters like this returning to the U.S. and committing acts of terrorism.”

    Which is utterly absurd. I hate to rain on the Obama administration and also on the Republican Party’s parade as well, but ALL MUSLIMS IN THE WORLD are jihadists in one form or another, per the dictates of Islam. Either of the violent variety (a tiny minority) or of the non-violent variety (the vast overwhelming majority). Which includes the millions of Muslims living over here in America today that are at the same time waging stealth jihad deliberately non-violently by design and on purpose for the strategic purposes of mass Muslim infiltration of our government, the Islamization of America, and for eventual demographic conquest.

    Thus, the notion that jihadists returning back from Syria and Iraq, will return here to radicalize peaceful and moderate Muslims that in reality are really jihadists already too is ludicrous, As waging jihad violently in the West isn’t feasible, because it would quickly be defeated.

    Again, terrorism and jihad are two very separate and distinct manifestations altogether. Jihad is solely unique to Islamic totalitarian society. While terrorism is solely unique to infidel society.

    The problem is jihad, which manifests by any and all means both violent and non-violent, is universally conflated as being terrorism, which in stark contrast to jihad is always and only violent. Thus, since stealth non-violent forms of jihad manifests non-violently on purpose, they aren’t opposed because it is not construed as being terrorism, and there lies the rub.

    Indeed, stealth non-violent jihad is the Islamic totalitarian world’s version of the Cold War. However, this time around our political elites and media elites are all asleep at the wheel because they have all become blinded via PC multiculturalism.

    Because they were Jews.

    Not only because they are Jews, but also because they are infidels. Now they have particular enmity against Jews in Islamic totalitarian society because according to Islamic totalitarian society Israel is occupying former Islamic land in the heart of Islam.

  • Space Cowboy

    I’m afraid that Hammad was not a so-called moderate Muslim that suddenly became radicalized via the Internet, or via a radical mosque, or via a radical Muslim or Imam, as that is an unmitigated farce. Instead, like ALL MUSLIMS IN THE WORLD, including the millions of Muslims living here in America today, he was a born and bred jihadists, exactly like all other Muslims in the world.

      As a Muslim, you, Space Cowboy, are either for or against your fellow extremists. If you are against them you are considered to be an apostate, by them and should be exterminated along with all the other infidels. If you do not condemn, then you are tacitly supporting them. So does that fear of being beheaded force you to spew out all these lies?
      Your “tiny” minority is forcing the world to choose sides. Your “tiny” minority of which there are over twenty countries seething with your ilk are being a dangerous nuisance to the rest of the world. Just shut up already.

      • Space Cowboy

        You are a Muslim about as much as I’m a delusional leftist like you. You moonbats always let your emotions get the better of you. Hilarious.
