Killing will unleash a Bloody Vengeance™, Arab leaders warn
2004-03-22
Israel’s assassination of Sheik Ahmed Yassin has enraged the Arab and Muslim world which has called for revenge and predicted that the region would plunge deeper into violence.
"Grrrr! I'm seethin'! How 'bout you, Mahmoud?"
Mohamed Mahdi Akef, leader of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, called it "an unforgivable crime". Palestinians should not lay down their arms because violence was the only language that Israel understood, he said. "We will not rest. We will not sleep until the last Zionist leaves our territory." Lebanon’s President Emile Lahoud warned that "Israel will find the same fate in the occupied territories as it found in south Lebanon". In Iran a Foreign Ministry spokesman, Hamid Reza Asefi, said: "This is a criminal act and a further example of the Zionist regime’s barbarity ... The Zionist regime will plunge further into the crisis it brought upon itself."
Blah Blah, Seeth, dire revenge, kill all the joos, etc. etc. The fact that a terrorist murderer responsible for hundreds of deaths can no longer kill and instigate others to kill seems to be completely lost on these people, including most of the western media. The Euro are wobbling big time and the Arabs just want well ’dire revenge’ TM. Its the time to stand firm and follow up with more of the same. The paleos are panicking big time because they now realize that their systematic violence will result in them loosing most of what was on the table 3 years ago. Listening to the paleo talking heads on CNN and BBC they realize they are in big trouble and their personal prospects of hanging from a lamppost just went up significantly. The left is faced with its tranzi vision of peace love and everyone being nice being an abject failure in its primary test bed the paleo terrortories. Me, I’m enjoying it. (rant off).

I love it when they rend their garments and cut themselves with knives until they're covered with blood. It's so... Old Testament.

#9  Mike - Or mebbe Super-Dire Revenge? Or Ultra-Dire? Or Mega-Dire? Or Hyper-Dire?

These are all superlative prefixes my daughter used (in approx order of magnitude) to apply to music "stars"... In her lexicon ONE hit song = Super Star. I tried to explain to her that, given her adjective inflation rate, she would run out of superlatives for anyone who actually had, say, 10 hits. Didn't faze her. I surrendered.

#7  It's always "Dire Revenge!" with these guys. Can't they ever do plain old non-dire revenge?

#6  there were 200,000 on the streets of Gaza today for the funeral - with a pop of 1.2 million and almost no one employed, they could have done better

and apparently no big protests on the W Bank or in Jordan or Egypt or Morocco, etc.

the only people really pissed off, beside the Hamas hard core are the Euroweenies and their american affiliates

#1  Sorry Hamid, It's not a criminal act. That crap don't play out any more. It's war and Iran is in it.

As if Hamas wasn't plotting it's next operation by it's brigades. Their coup de mains.
