B2 Spirit Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Iran has applied intense pressure to Hamas in an effort to persuade it not to leave Damascus, threatening even to cut off funds to the organization if it did so, Palestinian sources have told Haaretz. The Iranian pressure also included an unprecedented ultimatum - namely, an explicit threat to stop supplying Hamas with arms and suspend the training of its military activists. http://www.haaretz.com/news/middle-east/iran-threatening-to-cut-hamas-funds-arms-supply-if-it-flees-syria-1.399612 Basically Hamas want to leave Syria and set up operations in another Arab country because they're worried Assad will fall and a new alliance taking over would probably kick them out. Iran insists the 'palestinians' must stay in Syria presumably to retain control over them as Iran has freedom to operate in Syria. Interesting times ahead. Terrorists bickering is funny.

mapleboy Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Here's another interesting story about Syria: http://www.haaretz.com/news/middle-east/syria-violence-surges-as-un-calls-for-international-protection-1.399295 Presumably the surrounding muslim states will be intervening lickety-spit to stop their fellow muslims being killed. Is it just me or did anyone else hear the sound of flapping and oinking outside? Must have been a coincidence, eh? Mind you, a Turkish intervention would be very amusing.

Ian Dome Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Iran's pets Hezbollah have been meddling for some months in Bahrain (not ideal but could be a new base for Hamas?) and are possibly behind an attack on the British embassy. Its all about Iran. Always has been. Without Iran, Syria is nothing, Lebanon (in its current regressive guise) is nothing, and Hamas certainly wouldn't last 2 minutes.

Is it just me or did anyone else hear the sound of flapping and oinking outside? Must have been a coincidence, eh? Mind you, a Turkish intervention would be very amusing. It's all very fascinating. The Syrians have reopened PKK camps within Syria to strike Turkey. Just a few months ago, it was looking like Iran, Syria and Turkey were creating a very dangerous alliance. Looks like that friendship is over. The opposition in Syria are hinting that they would break ties with Hezbollah and Iran.

Yeah, no doubt Iran (shia) is behind the bombing in Bahrain which is mainly Shia but run by Sunnis. It is all about Iran, but Hamas being Sunni will always get funding. Hell, the EU/UN are funding half the missiles for Hamas with all the diverted cash from development to terrorism. Saudi whilst being on 'our' side vis-a-vis Iran, would not hesitate to fund Hamas through Qatar or something to cover their tracks. Which is why Hamas will last. Although I would think very damaged by Iran's fall. I'd love to see Hezbollah fall and the Lebanese reclaiming their country back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balpin Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 mapleboy, I love your byline In my 50's and thus compulsorily a grumpy old man.

If the Arab spring continues through to these terrorist run states then maybe the sensible Arabs will realise who the real trouble makers are in the region and stop pointing the finger at the usual Arab/Muslim whipping boys namely Israel.

Ian Dome Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 they're good warmongerers, but come war, they never seem to live up to the hype. Its probably why they (the extremists) make for more successful terrorists using kids as shields and whatnot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
