Hamas Claims Credit For Burning Amazon With Incendiary Balloons

President Jair Bolsonaro has established close ties with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, making his country a legitimate target in Palestinian and Islamist eyes.

Amazon fires 22 August 2019Brasilia, August 27 – The Islamist movement governing the Gaza Strip that uses kites, helium balloons, and other low-tech conveyances to ignite brush fires and other conflagrations across the border in Israel boasted today that its capabilities have expanded to incinerating precious Brazilian rain forests as well.

A Hamas spokesman told reporters in Gaza City this morning that the wildfires raging in the Amazon Basin began when the movement’s operatives released a barrage of bomb-carrying balloons toward the region in an effort to expand resistance efforts. President Jair Bolsonaro has established close ties with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, making his country a legitimate target in Palestinian and Islamist eyes.

“The Amazon became slated for destruction the moment Bolsonaro expressed support for the Zionist rapist usurpers,” declared Fawzi Barhoum. “People who wish to maintain their cherished natural wonders and resources had better consider that before they establish good relations with Jew- with Zionists. The mighty hand of Allah, through His chosen instrument Hamas, will strike against all those who dare contribute to the despoiling of Palestine and her destruction. We will exact that retribution by destroying her and all who get in the way.”

If confirmed, this development represents a significant upgrade of Hamas arson capabilities, which until recently have remained limited to a 70-km or so range from the Israel-Gaza border. The majority of affected areas in Israel include agricultural fields and communities, with a smattering of brush and forests. On occasion, strong winds have carried the incendiary devices and bombs – carried under brightly-colored balloons to attract children – to cities and towns farther inland. The capacity to reach the Amazon rain forests of Brazil poses a worrisome prospect.

Lightning-brief deliberations took place among various environmental groups in the wake of the announcement, most of which came down on the side of progressive intersectionality, by which nothing Arab Muslims do against others deserves condemnation. They therefore issued identical statements condemning Israel for the Amazon fires and avoiding mention of Hamas involvement. Israel has already provided some firefighting and relief assistance to Brazil, and has offered further such help.

“Environmental justice relates to Palestinian justice and therefore also demands redress of Palestinian grievances,” read Greenpeace’s statement. “To save the precious Amazon from further destruction, we must help our Palestinian allies and brethren achieve their own liberation by destroying the forests, farms, businesses, schools, homes, and communities that make Palestinians upset they cannot dominate.”
