| Hamas Threatens All Out War |
| 2002-07-24 |
| Hamas, has threatened an earthshattering retaliation to the Zionist occupation army's massacre in Gaza that left 15 civilians dead including Sheikh Salah Shehada head of the Qassam Brigades, military wing of Hamas, in the strip, and 150 others wounded mostly women and children. Dr. Abdul Aziz Ranteesi, Hamas spokesman in the Gaza Strip, ... and a member of the Hamas politburo... has said, "There will be no more respect for a Zionist child or the so-called Zionist civilians". He added, "It is an open war and America and the traitors must understand that martyrdom operations will not stop". Ranteesi threatened that the war against Zionist buses and houses will reach and affect each and every house in the Zionist entity. For his part, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, founder and spiritual leader of Hamas, refused to comment on the bloodbath, which he said was beyond words, adding, "let acts show our retaliation". "Just you wait. You're gonna get it...!" Meanwhile, thousands of Palestinians in various Gaza Strip areas hit the streets denouncing the savage massacre and calling on all Palestinian factions to revenge for the slaughtered women and children and for Sheikh Shehada. I wonder if the Israelis have actually opened warfare on Hamas? The Bad Guys seem to feel they have — this doesn't feel like the pro-forma bloodcurdling threats they usually issue. If the Israelis haven't, probably they should consider doing so. The PA is broken, Yasser in the process of being by-passed, the Paleos noticing, now that it's been pointed out to them, that the regime is corrupt and inefficient. There's no face left to save, since it's been demonstrated that they're incapable of defending the Paleos against the IDF. That leaves Hamas as the center of threat. Lopping the head off the beast before taking the body apart makes a lot of sense, but they're going to have to follow up pretty quickly. Personally, I think zapping Rantissi and Yassin would be a good place to start, followed by Zahar and Shanab. Actually, it would be a better idea to wax three of the four, and let it "leak" that the one remaining alive set the other four up to gain all the goodies for himself. And speaking of which, wonder where the intel on Shehadeh might have come from? Hmmmm... |
