Stories From The Battlefield: Hamas Killing Its Children, ISIS Killing Christians

My eye was caught yesterday by two powerful headlines; the first:

Islamic State said to bury women and children alive” – subtitled, “Yazidi people reported killed and 300 women kidnapped and forced into slavery by jihadists”.

This is the Islamic State, that group that used to be called ISIS (or ISIL) doing what they do.  By the way, I have seen some media reports that claimed ISIS and ISIL were separate groups; this is not true.  Both are weak translations of their real name which is, of course, in Arabic.  In any case, their name now is “Islamic State” since they declared a Caliphate.  So, they took hundreds of women captive to use as sex slaves, as Islamic armies have done for 1,400 years.

To quote from this article: “Some of the victims, including women and children, were buried alive in scattered mass graves in and around Sinjar,” Sudani said.  “In some of the images we have obtained, there are lines of dead Yazidis who have been shot in the head while the Islamic State fighters cheer and wave their weapons over the corpses.”

The second headline was:

Hamas said to have executed dozens of tunnel diggers” – subtitled, “Any excavator who was suspected of collaborating with Israel was killed, Israeli website reports.”  This reason sounds plausible but of course, there was nothing resembling a trial and the alleged collaboration did not occur.  This is a great way for the jihadists hidden in those underground bunker-tunnel warrens to retain secrets.  This is, of course, after nearly 200 children were also killed while digging and untold numbers were killed simply as tunneling witnesses.

They were forced to dig for some 12 hours a day on wages of about $150 per month.

Sources in Gaza told … that Hamas took a series of precautions to prevent information from reaching Israel.  The terror organization would reportedly blindfold the excavators en route to the sites and back, to prevent them from recognizing the locations.  The tunnels were strictly supervised by Hamas members, and civilians were kept far from the sites… Hamas would strip search the workers to ensure they had no recording devices or cameras hidden on them.”  With such “precautions” how could the slaves possibly “collaborate” with Israel?

Slavery, sex-slaves or worker drones, and mass executions are common to both these groups.

There is a more poignant question.  Are these “Terror Groups” or “Terror Organisations?”  It seems they are not.  They are regimented armies, organised as companies, brigades and battalions, with intelligence, propaganda and other units.  They are well-trained and superbly motivated.

So, where are the terrorists?  Everywhere, and in their ranks include those supporting them; the brigands conducting demonstrations in Paris, London, Lisbon and New York.

During the time of Saddam Hussein there were about a million Christians in Iraq.  Now, there is no functioning government of Iraq and there are no Christians – none.

The Islamic State, Hamas and Hezbollah are not terrorists.  They are a Jihad army – notice use of the singular.  They are one, not many.  They have one goal and that goal is to convert or kill those in their way in the quest for a Caliphate.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
