Hamas, Islamic Jihad salute Jerusalem terror attack, threaten new 'Palestinian intifada' in capital

HHamas and Islamic Jihad hailed Wednesday’s terrorist act by an east Jerusalem resident who rammed his car into a crowd of commuters at a light rail station, killing a three-month old infant and injuring seven others.

“The attack in Jerusalem is an act of heroism and a natural response to the crimes of the occupation against our people and our holy places,” said Mushir al-Masri, a senior Hamas spokesperson.

“The attack in Jerusalem is a natural response to what is taking place in the city, given the harassment and overall attacks of Judaization affecting our holy places and Muslims,” said another Hamas official, Salah Baradwil.

Hamas warned that the latest developments may augur the next "Palestinian intifada in Jerusalem."

the leaders of Hamas/IJ are cowards and only send others to blow themselves up. They are too afraid to do it themselves.

Anything that challenges the belief that Fatah (Mahmoud Abbas) is moderate is not news that is fit to print.

Can't have the narrative challenged.
