ISIS Declares War On Hamas in Gaza!! Oh My!

So what should the world do when a nasty bunch of demonic terrorists declare war on a bunch of other nasty, demonic, hate-filled terrorist?  Should we jump for joy and say, "Let the shooting of each other begin!!"?

Remember that there were a few times in the OT that God confused the enemies of Israel and had them start killing each other so they left Israel alone.

It makes me wonder what is actually going on here....

Could God be orchestrating the enemies of Israel to start killing the enemies of Israel?

The Egyptian wing of the Islamic State militant group (ISIS) has declared war on Hamas for failing to stop President Donald Trump’s Jerusalem declaration, in a new propaganda video released Wednesday that purports to show the execution of a man who ISIS claims worked with the Palestinian militant group’s armed wing. 

The video aims to ratchet up tensions between the two radical Islamist groups. In July 2015, ISIS released a video saying that it would overthrow Gaza’s “tyrants” for their perceived lack of religious fervor and lack of religious rulings in the coastal enclave.

Wednesday’s video shows a man on his knees in an orange jumpsuit, similar to those forced upon American and British hostages killed by the ISIS in Syria in 2014. Masked and armed men stand behind him, others are unmasked and stand in robes. 

“Never surrender to them. Use explosives, silenced pistols and sticky bombs. Bomb their courts and their security locations, for these are the pillars of tyranny that prop up its throne,” said one of the militants, who is seen holding a knife.

Another militant steps forward and is shown shooting the man dead. The nationality of the man is unclear.

The video says ISIS would defeat Hamas for allowing Trump to declare Jerusalem the capital of Israel, as well as for its crackdown on small Salafi groups in Gaza.

The propaganda video shows images of Khaled Meshaal, the former Hamas leader who stepped down in April, alongside Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran has backed Hamas in recent years, arming its missile stocks and funding its tunnel network in the coastal enclave that reached into Israeli territory.

Hamas has fought three wars with Israel, the last in 2014, but the group appears to be stepping away from a fourth round of conflict over the announcement of President Donald Trump to relocate the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, the contested city that hosts some of the holiest shrines in both Islam and Judaism. Hamas has attributed recent rocket fire from Gaza into Israeli territory to Salafi groups, some whom are sympathetic to ISIS and opposed to Hamas’s rule.

The U.S. and the European Union have designated Hamas as an extremist organization. Israel’s far-right frequently compares the group to ISIS for its radical interpretation of Islam that stops short of calling for Sharia. The group, like ISIS, has carried out public executions on the streets of Gaza, including by gunfire, but says it does so for collaboration with Israel, its archenemy.

ISIS’s Egyptian wing, known as the Sinai Province, is arguably ISIS’s most brutal and effective affiliate outside of Iraq and Syria. It is responsible for the Sinai plane crash in October 2015 that killed all 224 passengers on board. In November 2017, it claimed the mass murder of more than 300 people at a Sufi mosque in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, the deadliest attack in modern Egyptian history.

Its members, which number in the thousands, include Al-Qaeda defectors, jihadis from Gaza and Egyptian radical Islamists who have returned from conflict zones in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan.

So of course the article starts with a Newsweek Video saying that protests are building all over the world against Trumps Jerusalem announcement.

Right......

That's yesterday's news!  A few Arabs throwing rocks or a few thousand Indonesians carrying signs is NOT cause for global panic. 

But as I read that ISIS is going to start killing Hamas....I think of these words, "Live by the sword, die by the sword."
