Serve in the Military and You’ll become a U.S. Citizen
This is equivalent to hiring foreign mercenaries which was a contributing favor in the fall of Rome.
Historical reasons for the fall of Rome:
1. Invasions by Barbarian tribes = (asylum seekers and illegal immigration)
2. Economic troubles and overreliance on slave labor = (economic troubles and elimination of the middle class)
3. The rise of the Eastern Empire = (China’s growing power and influence)
4. Overexpansion and military overspending = (US military over expansion and military overspending like funding Ukraine and proxy wars)
5. Government corruption and political instability (government corruption and political instability… duh)
6. The arrival of the Huns and the migration of the Barbarian tribes = (alliance between Russia, Iran, N Korea, and China aka BRICS and Americans metaphorically migrating away from US patriotism)
7. Christianity and the loss of traditional values = (loss of Christianity and tradition values)
8. Weakening of the Roman legions = (weakening of the US military AND NOW add the proposed Tweet sent by Jason and it weaken it even further)
Historians still debate the primary reasons for the fall of Rome, but the above is generally accepted. I took this list from history.com and made a quick comparison to America 2023.

Ron Desantis Applauding Florida’s 1st Covid Vaccine Rollout
In Delray, DeSantis stresses patience and medical workers and elderly first in vaccine rollout.
DELRAY BEACH — A day after Palm Beach County's vaccination hotline crashed as anxious seniors and medical personnel called to schedule appointments, Gov. Ron DeSantis vowed that, after Florida's frontline medical workers are vaccinated, the state's top priority for COVID-19 vaccinations will be residents over age 65.
"I think everyone's on the same page to say that once these nurses and doctors and other medical personnel get it, we want to work with our elderly population to be able to offer it to them," DeSantis said Wednesday during an appearance at the Kings Point retirement community, where 300 of 12,000 residents were scheduled to receive the coronavirus vaccine after the governor spoke.
Both DeSantis and Dr. Alina Alonso, head of the Palm Beach County Health Department, offered candid advice to seniors looking to get vaccinated.

"We don't have enough vaccine currently on hand for all four million-plus senior citizens in the state of Florida," DeSantis said. "And we will get there but it's not going to happen overnight. So please be patient."
The Palm Beach County Health Department’s attempt to help seniors turned into a nightmare Tuesday when more than 1,000 phone calls began streaming into the vaccination hotline that could only handle 150 calls at a time.
"All the senior citizens are calling and all the doctors are calling,” a frustrated and overwhelmed Alonso said.
Instead of getting their questions answered and their fears allayed, seniors and other callers were greeted with a dead line.
The protocol for vaccinating seniors and front-line medical professionals in hospitals will vary from county to county, DeSantis said. The first batch of the 180,000 two-dose vaccines by Pfizer were divvied up between five hospital systems throughout Florida, DeSantis said.

Some of those vaccines also were earmarked for CVS and Walgreens for the "long-term care facility mission," DeSantis added. Another 20,000 were reserved for members of the state's "strike team" who will go into facilities and vaccinate residents.

Dramatic Increase in Various Heart-Related Ailments Amongst Naval Pilots
U.S. Navy Medical Officer, Lt. Ted Macie, Exposes Defense Department Data Showing Alarming Increase in Heart-Related Issues Among Pilots Following COVID-19 Vaccination: Myocarditis Up by 151%, Heart Failure by 973%.
According to the data presented by Lt. Macie, there has been a dramatic increase in various heart-related ailments among fixed-wing and helicopter pilots. The figures show surges in conditions like hypertensive disease (36%), ischemic heart disease (69%), pulmonary heart disease (62%), heart failure (973%), other forms of heart disease (63%), and cardiomyopathy (152%) compared to the five-year average prior to 2022.
These revelations follow a report by The Gateway Pundit in July, which cited a leaked military study admitting a spike in myocarditis cases by at least 151% post-vaccination in the US Military.

Pfizer Quietly Financed Groups Lobbying for COVID Vaccine Mandates
In the midst of a contentious debate about Chicago’s plan to force employers to require their workers to take the COVID-19 vaccine, Karen Freeman-Wilson, president of the Chicago Urban League, appeared on television to dismiss complaints that such rules would disproportionately harm the Black community.
“The health and safety factor here far outweighs the concern about shutting people out or creating a barrier,” Freeman-Wilson said on WTTW in August 2021.
Earlier that year, her group had received a $100,000 grant from Pfizer, the manufacturer of one of the most commonly used COVID-19 vaccines in the United States, for a project to promote "vaccine safety and effectiveness.” Although the Chicago Urban League is not normally shy about disclosing its corporate donors, the support from Pfizer is not listed in the “partners” section on its website. The drug industry funding likewise went unmentioned during the interview.
Pfizer’s grant to the Chicago Urban League was one of many that Pfizer made to nonprofits and trade organizations. Pfizer doled out special funding to groups across the country that lobbied in favor of government policies to mandate the COVID-19 vaccine.
The extensive list of those with funding from the pharmaceutical giant includes consumer, doctor, and medical groups, as well as public health organizations and civil rights nonprofits. Many of those groups did not disclose the funding they received from Pfizer while they were advocating for policies that would force workers to get the vaccine.
There were several different and sometimes overlapping vaccine mandates in the country. At the federal level, President Joe Biden issued an executive order, which was ultimately struck down in court, mandating vaccinations at all employers with 100 workers or more. A number of state and local governments forced public employees to get vaccinated and tried to force private-sector employers to follow suit. And many large employers required their employees to get vaccinated without any prodding from the government.
Critics of these employer mandates have noted that the majority of the proposed mandates, including Biden’s, made no exception for individuals with natural immunity through prior infection. Proponents of the mandates claimed that the vaccines would prevent transmission of COVID-19, an argument that lacked sound scientific basis at the time and has further unraveled.
“You’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations,” Biden falsely claimed in July 2021, as his administration and local governments were preparing mandate orders. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, similarly stated that vaccinated individuals "do not carry the virus."
But it wasn’t just these unsupported claims by leading government officials that shaped the groundwork for COVID-19 mandates. A coalition of highly visible groups backed by Pfizer and the pharmaceutical industry provided much of the lobbying support for coercive vaccine policies. Here are the most important examples:
The National Consumers League, a century-old corporate watchdog group, announced support for “government and employer mandates requiring [COVID-19] vaccination" in August 2021, during roughly the same period in which it accepted $75,000 from Pfizer earmarked for “vaccine policy efforts.” The organization is also led in part by Andrea LaRue, who serves as an NCL board member. LaRue’s work as a highly paid contract lobbyist to Pfizer, focused on vaccine policy, is not disclosed by NCL’s website.
The Immunization Partnership, a Houston-based public health nonprofit, lobbied publicly against Texas legislation in 2021 designed to prevent vaccine passports and municipal vaccine mandates. The Immunization Partnership claimed that the bills “erode the vital role of our state’s public health and medical experts in combating this pandemic.” The partnership did not disclose that it received $35,000 from Pfizer that year for “legislative advocacy.”
The American Pharmacists Association, American College of Preventive Medicine, Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy, American Society for Clinical Pathology and the American College of Emergency Physicians signed a letter in support of the Biden administration mandate to require employers with 100 or more employees to require their employees to be fully vaccinated or tested at least weekly. The organizations all received individual grants from Pfizer.
The National Hispanic Medical Association worked with public relations firm Culture One World to distribute "press release and media placements" that "called on employers of essential workers to mandate COVID-19 vaccines." The group also signed on to joint statements lobbying in favor of the Biden administration vaccine mandate. NHMA received $30,000 from BIO, a vaccine industry lobby group that represents Pfizer and Moderna, IRS filings show.
The American Academy of Pediatrics was one of the most visible organizations working to build public support for vaccine mandates. The organization received multiple, specialized grants from Pfizer in 2021. Pfizer also provided grants to individual state chapters of the AAP earmarked for lobbying on vaccine policy. The Ohio AAP chapter, for instance, lobbied the Ohio legislature against bills to curb coercive COVID-19 vaccine policies, while receiving an “immunization legislation” advocacy grant from Pfizer.
The pharmaceutical industry remained largely in the background on these controversial mandate policies, which faced opposition from a broad array of civil libertarians, labor unions, and community-based groups. Instead, the industry mobilized support for the mandates through third-party organizations to which it typically provided financial support.
Pfizer and most of the organizations funded by the pharmaceutical giant listed above did not respond to a request for comment.
The American College of Preventive Medicine noted in an email that the group endorsed the COVID-19 vaccine mandate after the policy was brought to the organization's board. "Regarding the specific question about the COVID-19 vaccines, supporting a vaccine mandate does not support one vaccine manufacturer over another," said Drew Wallace, a spokesperson for ACPM.
Critics note that drug industry money presents an inherent conflict of interest that shaped the discourse around COVID-19 mandates.
“If people or institutions advocated for or implemented mandates, while failing to disclose ties to the vaccine companies, that is a serious ethical violation, and potentially even unlawful, and should be thoroughly investigated,” said Jenin Younes, an attorney formerly with the New Civil Liberties Alliance, who brought some of the first legal challenges to vaccine mandates.

Dr. Aaron Kheriaty, an expert in bioethics, noted that pharmaceutical firms routinely finance outside organizations to shape medical decisions and health care policy.
Pfizer, Kheriaty said, engaged in a “form of market manipulation by pushing mandates using organizations that present themselves as scientifically credible, or acting in the public interest, while creating by force a market for the company’s products.”
“Pharmaceutical companies spend very large portions of their budgets on marketing, including on various health care organizations and third parties, and they do that because they get a return on that investment. It makes business sense,” Kheriaty noted.
The pharmaceutical industry has long shaped health care policy through outside advocacy organizations.
The late Evan Morris, a former lobbyist for Genentech, famously once presided over a $50 million lobbying budget, much of which went to third-party groups that amplified the pharmaceutical giant’s messages.
In one particularly lucrative coup, Morris used outside groups to stoke fears and plant news stories around avian-flu and the need for the government to stockpile Tamiflu. The public relations tactic reportedly helped generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for Genentech parent company Roche, which manufactures Tamiflu.
On another occasion, Morris orchestrated a delay in the Food and Drug Administration's decision to ban the use of the cancer drug Avastin, then one of Genentech's most profitable products. The FDA had determined that Avastin was ineffective in treating breast cancer, but Smith mobilized outside advocacy groups to pressure the agency to reconsider its decision, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Efforts by other controversial drug makers to employ similar strategies have been well documented. For example, Purdue Pharma covertly funded third-party advocacy groups to encourage looser criteria for prescribing OxyContin and other highly addictive opioid painkillers.
In the case of Pfizer, the company was able to mobilize widespread support among policymakers to make its COVID-19 vaccine one of the most profitable medical products in history. In 2021 alone, Pfizer generated over $36.7 billion in revenue from the vaccine.
"From a public health perspective, [the vaccine mandates] did not make any sense for a couple of reasons,” said Dr. Martin Kulldorff, a professor of medicine on leave from Harvard University.
“One is that if you had COVID, then you have excellent immunity,” Kulldorff said. “The second is that back in 2021, when there was a shortage of vaccines, the important thing was to vaccinate older, high risk Americans and also in other parts of the world like India and Brazil, but instead a lot of the vaccines went to younger people who are low risk and didn't need it.”
The Biden administration later faced a string of rulings from federal courts declaring the mandate unconstitutional. The Supreme Court in January 2022 overturned the OSHA requirement that mandated workers at businesses with 100 or more employees receive COVID-19 vaccinations, but left in place mandates for workers in medical facilities.
Workers affected by other COVID-19 vaccine mandates weren’t so lucky. New York City terminated more than 1,700 members of its municipal workforce for their refusal to comply with a vaccine mandate that took effect in October 2021. This year, the city ended its vaccine mandate, but many of the fired workers are still fighting to get their jobs back in court.
Kheriaty, the bioethicist, was fired from the University of California-Irvine School of Medicine for refusing to comply with the university's vaccine mandate, claiming natural immunity from prior infection. He is one of thousands of people fired because of similar policies.
“We tossed overboard the principle of informed consent and assumed – without evidence – that the COVID vaccine would help people beyond the specific recipient,” Kheriaty said.

Possible Side Effects:
Myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the lining outside the heart) have occurred in some people who have received mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. Myocarditis and pericarditis following Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines have occurred most commonly in adolescent males 12 through 17 years of age. In most of these individuals, symptoms began within a few days following vaccination. The chance of having this occur is very low. Seek medical attention right away if your child has any of the following symptoms after receiving the vaccine, particularly during the 2 weeks after receiving a dose of the vaccine:
Chest pain
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Feelings of having a fast-beating, fluttering, or pounding heart
Additional symptoms, particularly in children, may include:
Fainting
Unusual and persistent irritability
Unusual and persistent poor feeding
Unusual and persistent fatigue or lack of energy
Persistent vomiting
Persistent pain in the abdomen
Unusual and persistent cool, pale skin
Fainting can happen after getting injectable vaccines, including Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine. For this reason, your vaccination provider may ask you to stay at the place where you received the vaccine for monitoring after vaccination.

Zelensky asks America for a Line of Credit
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made a bold claim to U.S. taxpayers this week while pleading for more aid to support his country’s war against Russia.
In an appearance on NBC News's "Meet The Press" Sunday, Zelenskyy said his country would repay any financial aid given to it by U.S. lawmakers.
“If you can give us some financial support, okay, please, give us a credit and we will give you back money after the war,” he said.
Zelenskyy continued by extending an olive branch, vowing to buy “some ammunition” from American companies in return for the assistance. When asked how long Congress has to act on the request, the Ukrainian president said the decision is up to the U.S.
“That is the decision of Congress, I will not push them really,” he said. “They know that we are very open, they know that we are very clean.”
However, commenters on social media were not convinced by Zelenskyy's offer.
“No more money until he holds elections,” one said, referring to Zelenskyy’s decision to halt elections while Ukraine is at war.
“Before we consider extending financial credit to Ukraine, it’s critical to address both the needs of Americans at home and the well-documented issues of corruption in Ukraine,” another said. “Our own citizens are facing numerous challenges; our focus and funds should be dedicated first to improving their lives.”
Zelenskyy's plea for Ukraine comes as Congress continues to weigh its options regarding aid money for Israel. House Republicans say they will offer $14.3 billion for Israel if the funds are taken from the IRS, an option Democrats say they revile.
Support for additional aid to Ukraine is starting to dwindle among Americans. An October Gallup poll showed fewer Americans supported supplying Ukraine with weapons than in June.
The debate over funding to Ukraine, Israel and the southern border comes as Congress faces a Nov. 17 deadline to avert another possible government shutdown.

Helen Thomas tells Jews to Home
Helen Thomas, a veteran columnist for Hearst Newspapers, announced her resignation today shortly after the White House condemned her remarks about Jews as "offensive" and "reprehensible."
Thomas caused an uproar with her recent remarks that Jews should "get the hell out of Palestine" and "go home" to Poland, Germany, America and "everywhere else."
"I think she should and has apologized," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said at the daily briefing today. "Obviously those remarks do not reflect, certainly, the opinion of, I assume, most of the people in here, and certainly not of the administration."
Since Thomas made the comments in a May 27 interview with RabbiLive.com, former U.S. officials and fellow columnists had called for her suspension from the White House press briefings, where she has her own front-row, center seat. Thomas, 89, is given special privileges due to her long-standing service as a journalist. She has covered every president since John F. Kennedy.
Today marked the first time a U.S. official condemned her comments. Gibbs called Thomas' remarks, "offensive and reprehensible." He said he not has directly spoken with President Obama about Thomas' comments.
Thomas' seat in the briefing room was empty today, as she did not show up for the daily briefing.
Since her remarks surfaced on the web in the past week, calls for Thomas to lose her privileged seat in the press room had mounted.
On Sunday, former Clinton special counsel and spokesman Lanny J. Davis became the latest former U.S. official to call on the White House to suspend Thomas' privileges in the White House press room, and for Hearst to consider a similar suspension of her position as a nationally syndicated columnist.
"Of course Helen has the right as a private citizen under the First Amendment to speak her mind, even as an anti-Jewish bigot, but not as a member, much less privileged member with a reserved seat, in the WH press corps," Davis wrote in a statement.
Also on Sunday, Thomas was dropped from her speaking agency, Nine Speakers, Inc. The agency's president Diane Nine issued a statement saying, "Ms. Thomas has had an esteemed career as a journalist, and she has been a trailblazer for women, helping others in her profession, and beyond. However, in light of recent events, Nine Speakers is no longer able to represent Ms. Thomas, nor can we condone her comments on the Middle East."

Message to Hamas from the cofounders son Mosab Hassan Yousef
The son of one of the co-founders of Hamas has backed Israel in the war while comparing his dad’s terror group to Hitler’s Nazis — insisting that “it’s not Israel’s fault” that civilians are dying in the Gaza Strip.
“Hamas started this war. We’re talking about [an] organization that does not regard human life,” an impassioned Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of Hamas leader Hassan Yousef, told NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo.
“In the previous three wars, every time they came back stronger,” the younger Yousef, 45, warned of the terror group’s ongoing threat in the region.
That, he said, was why it is wrong for international leaders to call on Israel to suspend its military response to Hamas slaughtering at least 1,400 people — including women and kids — in its surprise onslaught on Oct. 7.
“No, before we blame Israel, let me tell you something — if [these] civilians choose to be with Hamas, then if they die with Hamas, it’s not Israel’s fault,” he said of the ongoing casualties of war.
Rather than call for a cease-fire, “it’s better to be silent at this moment,” the Hamas leader’s son said.
The younger Yousef, who defected to Israel in 1997 and served as an informant for the Israeli security service Shin Bet until 2007, openly compared his father’s organization to Adolf Hitler’s Nazi party.
Hamas has anti-Jewish and anti-Israeli sentiment written into its founding documents, and is now responsible for the deadliest single day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust, he noted.
“Because antisemitism and anti-Israel … [is] what was in common between this type of people and the Nazis, because the Nazis about 100 years ago, it was a point of view. And soon, later, they were gassing people in chambers,” Yousef noted.
Yousef accused civilians in Gaza of harboring terrorists.
“We saw what they did on October 7, and they are hiding behind children and women [in Gaza],” he said.
“Israel says ‘evacuate, evacuate civilians.’ Leaflets, phone calls, through media gave them an opportunity … to evacuate. But they didn’t. They still give shelter to Hamas. You know why? Because they are partnering with Hamas.
“Because antisemitism and anti-Israel … [is] what was in common between this type of people and the Nazis, because the Nazis about 100 years ago, it was a point of view. And soon, later, they were gassing people in chambers,” Yousef noted.
Yousef accused civilians in Gaza of harboring terrorists.
“We saw what they did on October 7, and they are hiding behind children and women [in Gaza],” he said.
“Israel says ‘evacuate, evacuate civilians.’ Leaflets, phone calls, through media gave them an opportunity … to evacuate. But they didn’t. They still give shelter to Hamas. You know why? Because they are partnering with Hamas.
“And in this case, Israel is not responsible for any harm that happens to the civilians in northern Gaza, staying now as we speak … Israel made it very clear.”
Yousef urged the international community to turn its attention to other major players in the growing conflict.
“Look, instead of blaming Israel, they should be protesting against the United Nations and against the Egyptian government and other governments who are closing the border,” he insisted.
“This is the correct thing to do instead of exchanging blame now, and I don’t know what really motivates them, because many of [those who want a cease-fire] I’m not sure about their real motives.
“Is it the Gazan children? Or [do] they have a problem with Israel? Do they have a problem with the Jewish people? Is it about jealousy? Why are they inflicting emotional pain on the Jewish people as they mourn a modern-day holocaust?”
While Yousef — who was born in Ramallah, in the West Bank — clarified that his “heart breaks for the death of the Gaza people,” he was immovable in his stance that Israel is justified in trying to wipe out his father’s organization.
“I’m even talking about the Palestinians in the West Bank, and the rest of the Arab world. I’m not seeing one leader who stands firm and says Hamas does not represent the Palestinian people,” he lamented.
“A premature cease-fire today will lead to more violence, certainly to more violence, if we don’t eradicate Hamas now, whatever it takes, even if civilians will die. If we don’t do this today, this time, this war, now. Tomorrow, the violence will be much greater than this.
“All those clowns coming, speaking on behalf of the Palestinian people. They don’t care for the Palestinian people. They don’t care for Israel. They are a bunch of hypocrites. They better be silent.”

Shocking moment neighbor executes NYC dad and stepson during argument over noise
The distressing footage obtained by The Post opens with a man dressed in all black pacing angrily outside his upstairs neighbors’ apartment on the fourth floor of 1418 Brooklyn Ave. in a well-known East Flatbush housing complex where stars Barbra Streisand and Michael K. Williams grew up.
A woman emerges from the apartment and exchanges words with the neighbor, who was identified by cops Tuesday as Jason Pass, 47.
A short time later, the woman is joined by her son, identified by cops as 27-year-old Chinwai Mode. The video has no audio, so it is unknown what was said during the exchange.
Moments later, Mode’s stepfather, 47-year-old school bus driver Bladimy Mathurin, marches out of the apartment brandishing a pair of scissors and angrily confronts the neighbor, the video shows.
His wife tries to drag him away, but the bodybuilder dad of four pushes her back.
At that moment, the verbal dispute takes a harrowing turn when the neighbor in black pulls out a handgun and aims it at Mathurin.
Mathurin spots the gun but waves it off. He turns around and begins walking toward his apartment, at which point the neighbor opens fire and strikes Mathurin, who falls to the floor.
Mode, who was also in the hallway, tries to get away from the gunman, but the neighbor fires multiple shots at him, including at least twice after he had collapsed in a pool of his own blood next to a staircase.
The suspect then returns to Mathurin, who is still alive and struggling to get up, and shoots him execution-style on his own doorstep.
Having killed the two men, the gunman calmly observes the grisly scene before stepping into an elevator, which he takes down to the street and flees.
Nine .45-caliber shell casings and five bullet fragments were recovered from the hallway, sources said.
The sprawling 59-building apartment complex where Sunday’s shooting took place was built in the 1940s and was known at the time as Vanderveer Estates before being renamed Flatbush Gardens decades later.
Screen and stage icon Streisand lived in the low-income housing development as a teenager, long before the massive complex fell into disrepair and became plagued by crime.

What is Hamas’ Goal in Gaza?
Hamas doesn’t care about Palestine or the Palestine’s. They’re charter specifically states:
THE COVENANT OF THE HAMAS - MAIN POINTS
=======================================
The Covenant of the Islamic Resistance Movement was issued on August
18, 1988. The Islamic Resistance Movement, also known as the HAMAS,
is an extremist fundamentalist Islamic organization operating in the
territories under Israeli control. Its Covenant is a comprehensive
manifesto comprised of 36 separate articles, all of which promote the
basic HAMAS goal of destroying the State of Israel through Jihad
(Islamic Holy War). The following are excerpts of the HAMAS
Covenant:
Goals of the HAMAS:
------------------
'The Islamic Resistance Movement is a distinguished Palestinian
movement, whose allegiance is to Allah, and whose way of life is
Islam. It strives to raise the banner of Allah over every inch of
Palestine.' (Article 6)
On the Destruction of Israel:
-----------------------------
'Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will
obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.' (Preamble)
The Exclusive Moslem Nature of the Area:
----------------------------------------
'The land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf [Holy Possession]
consecrated for future Moslem generations until Judgment Day. No one
can renounce it or any part, or abandon it or any part of it.'
(Article 11)
'Palestine is an Islamic land... Since this is the case, the
Liberation of Palestine is an individual duty for every Moslem
wherever he may be.' (Article 13)
The Call to Jihad:
------------------
'The day the enemies usurp part of Moslem land, Jihad becomes the
individual duty of every Moslem. In the face of the Jews' usurpation,
it is compulsory that the banner of Jihad be raised.' (Article 15)
'Ranks will close, fighters joining other fighters, and masses
everywhere in the Islamic world will come forward in response to the
call of duty, loudly proclaiming: 'Hail to Jihad!'. This cry will
reach the heavens and will go on being resounded until liberation is
achieved, the invaders vanquished and Allah's victory comes about.'
(Article 33)
Rejection of a Negotiated Peace Settlement:
-------------------------------------------
'[Peace] initiatives, and so-called peaceful solutions and
international conferences are in contradiction to the principles of
the Islamic Resistance Movement... Those conferences are no more than
a means to appoint the infidels as arbitrators in the lands of
Islam... There is no solution for the Palestinian problem except by
Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are but a
waste of time, an exercise in futility.' (Article 13)
Condemnation of the Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty:
----------------------------------------------
'Egypt was, to a great extent, removed from the circle of struggle
[against Zionism] through the treacherous Camp David Agreement. The
Zionists are trying to draw other Arab countries into similar
agreements in order to bring them outside the circle of struggle.
...Leaving the circle of struggle against Zionism is high treason,
and cursed be he who perpetrates such an act.' (Article 32)
Anti-Semitic Incitement:
------------------------
'The Day of Judgment will not come about until Moslems fight Jews and
kill them. Then, the Jews will hide behind rocks and trees, and the
rocks and trees will cry out: 'O Moslem, there is a Jew hiding behind
me, come and kill him.' (Article 7)
'The enemies have been scheming for a long time ... and have
accumulated huge and influential material wealth. With their money,
they took control of the world media... With their money they stirred
revolutions in various parts of the globe... They stood behind the
French Revolution, the Communist Revolution and most of the
revolutions we hear about... With their money they formed secret
organizations - such as the Freemasons, Rotary Clubs and the Lions -
which are spreading around the world, in order to destroy societies
and carry out Zionist interests... They stood behind World War I ...
and formed the League of Nations through which they could rule the
world. They were behind World War II, through which they made huge
financial gains... There is no war going on anywhere without them
having their finger in it.' (Article 22)
'Zionism scheming has no end, and after Palestine, they will covet
expansion from the Nile to the Euphrates River. When they have
finished digesting the area on which they have laid their hand, they
will look forward to more expansion. Their scheme has been laid out
in the 'Protocols of the Elders of Zion'.' (Article 32)
'The HAMAS regards itself the spearhead and the vanguard of the
circle of struggle against World Zionism... Islamic groups all over
the Arab world should also do the same, since they are best equipped
for their future role in the fight against the warmongering Jews.'
