Hamas TV switches broadcaster as French satellite pulls the plug
2016-03-13
[IsraelTimes] After going briefly off air due to Hollande’s intervention, terrorist group finds new transmitter for its Al-Aqsa channel

Paleostinian terror group Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, was forced to find a new broadcaster for its Al-Aqsa TV channel on Friday after French satellite giant Eutelsat halted transmissions.The move came after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday called French President Francois Hollande
...the Socialist president of La Belle France, an economic bad joke for la Belle France but seemingly a foreign policy realist...
, the Hebrew-language Walla website reported. Netanyahu asked Hollande to intervene to halt the broadcast of Al-Aqsa, and Eutelsat agreed.Netanyahu thanked the president for helping prevent incitement against Israelis and Jews, Walla said.

But the channel was not off air for long, according to the Ynet news website. The terror group on Friday announced it had a new satellite broadcaster, and provided details of the new frequencies.

Still, it was unclear whether Al-Aqsa would have the same audience figures as before, or could even be seen at all in Europe. Eutelsat satellites transmit broadcasts from more than 6,000 channels, covering Europe, the Middle East and Asia. The company reportedly reaches over 270 million homes around the world.

In possible retribution, Hamas on Friday night hacked into private satellite dishes broadcasting Israel’s Channel 2 station, airing a chilling warning that it would never stop attacking Israeli targets.

"Get out of our country," the message said in Hebrew and Arabic, against a backdrop of footage from terror attacks and funerals in Israel, along with cartoons of would-be attackers armed with guns, hatchets and knives. The three-and-a-half minute interruption also included footage of Arab Israeli terrorist Nashat Nilhem, who bumped off three people in a January 1 shooting spree in Tel Aviv.

The hack was followed by a volley of rocket fire from Gazoo, which is ruled by Hamas. All four rockets fell in open areas in southern Israel.

Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...

#1  or could even be seen at all in Europe

Since their broadcasts to EUrope mostly incite "local" Muslims to attack locals---a clear benefit to Europe.
