Hamas is no different from Isis, Israel's Netanyahu tells UN General Assembly

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made use of the attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo to call on the West to support the ongoing Israeli occupation of Palestinian land and to undermine the EU vote on a Palestinian state in the name of the "war on terror".

Avigdor Lieberman, Israel's foreign minister, has also called on the West not to remain weak before the "Islamic" terror, which he claims Israel is already fighting. Several Israeli writers also used the Paris attack as an opportunity to incite hatred against Palestinians, rather than one to come together in the mutual fight against extremism.

Netanyahu prominently called for the West to intensify its support for Israel in its war against Islamists, mainly the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas, which resists the ongoing occupation of Palestine.

"The attacks of radical Islam know no boundaries," Netanyahu told French President François Hollande over the telephone, "these are international attacks and the response has to be international."

Netanyahu also expressed the sympathy "that all the citizens of Israel feel for the people of France and for the grieving families," reminding the world that Israel has experienced similar attacks by Hamas and Hezbollah.

"We know the pain but we also know the resolution with which free societies can defeat terror - however dreadful, however threatening," he said.

"Israel is with France on this difficult day. The terror of Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIL and Al-Qaeda will not stop unless the West fights it physically, rather than fighting its false arguments. Islamic terror is not mainly targeting Israel, but is even targeting the West and its civilisation," he added.

Netanyahu told Hollande that, "The key goal of Islamic terror is to destroy our societies and our countries. To uproot our human culture, which is based on freedom and a culture of choice and to impose in its place a fundamentalist dictatorship which will return humanity to years long past." For that reason, he said: "We do not have to give them a chance to justify terror. We have to fight it."

Meanwhile, Lieberman said that the "Israel sympathises with France's pain," according to a statement by his spokesperson.

"The world must not allow terrorists to intimidate the free world and the West is obligated to stand united and determined against this threat," he said.

Lieberman stressed that the world has to help Israel in its war against the Palestinian factions that adopt principles common with those who carried out the attack.

Israeli TV Channels described the attack as France's "9/11" and called the Muslim communities in Europe a "time bomb".

For his part, the Israeli thinker Amos Biderman said that "the bad guys have won", and that Islamic terrorists such as ISIS and Al-Qaeda have "beaten us big time in the battle for freedom of expression" considering that many of Western writers and journalists would never publish anything that might invoke the wrath of radical Islamists.

Comment: So who benefits from the #CharlieHebdo incident? Clearly, the pathological government of Israel.

Prime minister Netanyahu confirmed on January 9, the dispatch of an Israeli Police SWAT team unit which would be working in liaison with its French counterparts. The Israeli SWAT unit "specialising in siege situations and rescues is on standby ready to travel to Paris to assist the French authorities resolve the siege of the kosher grocery store." according to Haaretz (emphasis added).

It should be noted that the entire French police apparatus is mobilized. What would be the role of the Israeli police forces? Political propaganda? Bear in mind: president Francois Hollande is scheduled to make a major political statement in the wake of the police operation. [...]

The Role of Mossad

In addition to the Israeli SWAT team, Prime minister Netanyahu "has ordered Mossad to provide French officials for all the assistance they need in tackling the ongoing terror situation in and around Paris" (, emphasis added). What this suggests is that Mossad agents would be operating on French soil in partnership with France's formerly known as

According to Israel's prime minister Netanyahu, (January 9)

"[the attacks on Charlie Hebdo and the Paris kosher grocery store] are a microcosm of of a greater battle against jihadists ...

This is a global struggle. Bringing to justice the Paris murderers is just the beginning,...

And all of them seek to destroy our freedoms and to impose on all of us a violent, medieval tyranny. They might have different names, but all of them are driven by the same hatred and blood-thirsty fanaticism."

They bomb churches in Iraq; they slaughter tourists in Bali; they rocket civilians from Gaza; and strive to build nuclear weapons in Iran...we have to fight these enemies of our common civilization" (quoted in , January 9, 2015)

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu Shakes Hand with an Al Qaeda Terrorist, Israeli military field hospital at the occupied Golan Heights’ border with Syria, 18 February 2014. Is the wounded terrorist an Israeli intelligence asset?

What the Times of Israel report fails to mention is that Netanyahu has been actively supporting Islamic State (ISIS) and Al Nusrah terrorists out of the occupied Golan heights. While coming to France's rescue, Netanyahu does not deny his government's support of the jihadists in Syria. The IDF top brass has acknowledged that "global jihad elements inside Syria" are supported by Israel:

Netanyahu toured the Golan Heights with Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon and IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantz.

At a lookout point overlooking the Syrian border, OC Northern Command Maj.-Gen. Yair Golan briefed Netanyahu on the presence of global jihad elements inside Syria, as well as on the work being done to fortify the Israeli-Syrian border fence. (, February 19, 2014)

Ironically, the State of Israel is collaborating with the French authorities in the Charlie Hebdo counterterrorism operation, while also supporting the two main terrorist entities in Syria: the Islamic State (ISIS) and Al Nusrah.

While there is no evidence of Mossad presence prior to the Charlie Hebdo attacks, it should be noted that France and Israel have a longstanding bilateral relationship in military and intelligence affairs. The fact that the Israeli government announced its intention to dispatch Mossad officials to Paris might suggest that Israeli intelligence officials were in Paris at an earlier date, prior to the January 9 official announcement by PM Netanyahu. [...]

"The forbidden truth" which the French public should address is that Western governments including France, NATO and Israel - while waging a self-proclaimed "Global War on Terrorism" - routinely provide covert support to the same terrorist entities which are the object of their "humanitarian wars" and "counter-terrorism operations".
