Saudi Arabia’s Top Cleric: Fighting Jews Forbidden, Hamas a Terror group
The Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia issued a ruling forbidding war against the Jews and proclaiming that Hamas is a terror group.
The Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, Abdulaziz Al Sheikh, issued a surprising religious ruling, saying that fighting against Israel was inappropriate and that Hamas is a “terror organization.”
The Muslim cleric issued the ruling while answering a question on a television program regarding the Palestinian riots surrounding the Temple Mount in July, Turkey’s Anadolu news agency reported.
Israel’s Communications Minister Ayoub Kara welcomed the unexpected decision and invited the Mufti to visit Israel.
“We congratulate Abdulaziz Al Sheikh, the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia as well as the head of Ulema (Islamic scholars), for his fatwa [Muslim religious ruling] forbidding the fight against the Jews and forbidding to kill them,” Kara, a Druze, tweeted on Monday.

If we can keep the left from removing Trump he will achieve great things.
How sweet. Could charm snakes out of the basket.
Hopefully, most Israeli snakes are living high off the hog in Germany, peddling fables about IDF atrocities against Arab Muslims occupying Judea and Samaria.
Best take a deep breath and read Dr. Kedar’s 11/17 analysis. His bio:

He served in IDF Military Intelligence for 25 years, specializing in Arab political discourse, Arab mass media, Islamic groups and the Syrian domestic arena.

The Arab Sunni world: Complete and utter chaos
The only conclusion Israel must reach from the sad state of affairs in the Arab Sunni world is as clear as the sunshine in an arid desert.

There are otherwise rational Israelis – like Bibi – who mouth inane bouquets of nonsense to win the love of the Euro-trash running Western mouthpieces.
Get real! They hate the Jew among nations with a full-throated passion. You’re just giving them material to spin into the grotesque confections they call ‘news’.
From the article linked above:
Many Israelis have been encouraging the government to enter into a “Moderate Sunni Nations” accord, because “Israel is not the problem, it is the solution.” This call is based on a deep lack of understanding of the Arab way of doing things and complete ignorance about what is really going on in the countries surrounding Israel.
The only conclusion Israel must reach from this sad state of affairs is as clear as the sunshine in an arid desert: There is no one to rely on in the fragmented, splintered Sunni Arab world which is incapable of uniting against the Iranian threat. The Arabs betray one another and some are tied to Iran with every fibre of their beings. Are they really going to be loyal to whatever agreement they make with the Jews?
They may ask the Israelis to save them from the clutches of the Iranian monster, but after Israel does that at a high cost in its own sons and daughters, citizens, infrastructure and cities, that “Moderate Sunni Axis” will act towards us, exactly – and I mean exactly – as they did to the Iraqi Kurds after they shed the blood of over a thousand male and female fighters in order to rescue the Arabs from ISIS. Remember – they threw them and their aspirations for independence straight into the dustbin of petty politics, interests, cynicism and treachery.

The Grand Mufti all but declared a temporary. Alliance of convenience…a hudna. the Saudis spend Western blood and treasure as if in endless supply. I pray, President Trump is more than aware of the temporary nature of these agreements with Saudi…Islamic entities.
