New Zealand – The chairman of the New Zealand’s biggest mosque accused Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency and “Zionist business houses” of being behind the terror attack on two mosques in Christchurch.

“I really want to say one thing today. Do you think this guy was alone … I want to ask you – where did he get the funding from?” Ahmed Bhamji, chairman of the Mt Roskill Masjid E Umar, said in a speech Saturday in Auckland that was livestreamed on Facebook.
“I stand here and I say I have a very very strong suspicion that there’s some group behind him and I am not afraid to say I feel Mossad is behind this,” he said as a person in the audience shouted “It’s the truth. Israel is behind this. That’s right!”
Bhamji continued: “And not only them. There are some business houses, also, who are around … you know, Zionist business houses that are behind him.”
Bhamji was one of about 30 speakers at a rally for the victims of the mosque attacks that left 50 worshippers dead. The rally was sponsored by a group called Love Aotearoa Hate Racism.
New Zealand’s Human Rights Commission tweeted: “Prejudice against Jewish people has no place in New Zealand. We must condemn racism, hate and anti-Semitism whenever we see it.”
The New Zealand Jewish Community’s spokeswoman, Juliet Moses, told the local news website Newshub: “These conspiracy theories are dangerous lies. They put the Jewish community at risk, at a time of heightened security concerns. Conspiracy theories – particularly the idea that Jews (whether through the Jewish state or otherwise) are a malevolent controlling force in the world – are at the very core of anti-Semitism.”
Bhamji defended himself when questioned about his remarks by Newshub.
“Mossad is up to all these things,” he said. “When I talk about Mossad, why should the Jews be upset about it? I made a statement, a lot of other people made statements.”
Wasn’t the Mosad behind the 9/11 attacks as well ?????
Interesting, the difference betwen New Zealand and Australia. Australia is pro USA, and pro Israel. New Zealand? Not. Notice how nobody challenges this moron who blames the Jews for the mosque attack. When I heard about the attack in New Zealand, I wasn’t sure which would make me happier; a radical Moslem attack on New Zealanders, or, as was the case, an attack on a mosque. I watched the video that this nut job streamed on Facebook, and I couldn’t get myself to feel bad for the victims.
Why did Hashem spare this piece of garbage?
and all the Jewish groups are giving such sympathy to this antisemitic Islamic group, and for what? to get slapped in the face?
I think it says in the gemora, that those who are merciful to the cruel will end up being cruel to the merciful.
Does anyone know from where that quote comes from????
Like a light switch from feeling bad for human life to actually being happy now that it happened these people couldn’t care less for their own they will use their own children and families to further their sick agenda
Just like Trump and Chelsea Clinton are to blame…
lunacy but taken seriously by the radical left. now that there is no collusion, jews will get the wrath if we do not do something about it.
a good arab is a dead arab
Right because Israel is so much more secure after the shooting. Where did the guy get the funding? He bough a gun and ammo. No grand strategy here.
And another reason I didn’t pretend to be sad for people who hate us
Now I feel much better about this attack, I was starting to feel for them, pieces of garbage never stop their hate, but everybody else should come together, phe
It is the hatred espoused by Moslems like this that fan the flames of fanaticism. If he wants to know who is responsible for the attack, he and others like him, should take a long hard look in the mirror.
This moronic ‘Imam’ just brought shame and infamy on his mosque and the victims. Nobody will believe his garbage. He just reminded everyone why people hate Islam. He did us a favor, the idiot. No Jew should have sympathy for them.
A silly thing for the fellow to say. There is a lot of tension between the two nations. Israel has a long history of sending spies to New Zealand and forging their passports.
Well, let’s see. The Israelis were caught faking New Zealand passports once. No word on how many times they were not caught. An Israeli spy was killed in the big earthquake. (You have to figure spy + earthquake is a million-to-one shot.) The Kiwis tried to send one ambassador to both Israel and to Palestine. So all in all, like I said, there has been a lot of tension between the two nations.
I remember about six years ago, that there were some shark attacks against tourists, in the Red Sea, off the coast of Sharm El-Sheikh, near a fancy Egyptian resort. There were some Egyptians, who had the gall to blame the Mossad for bringing the sharks to that area, to place a dent in their tourist business! Even our own scholar in residence, Paul in Saudi, would have to admit, that the above allegation, was insanity and lunacy! Also, there were some Arab commentators who stated that the Arab terrorists were too incompetent to have pulled off the 9/11 attacks, and that only the Mossad would have been capable to have accomplished that attack. After nearly twenty years, there are still thousands of nitwits who believe that propaganda.
And the Tree of Life in Pittsburgh raised $40k+ to send to these “victims”. IDIOTS! I would have sent them Bernie Saunders & Occasional Cortex
