Hamas has new means to fight Israel: senior leader
2004-03-22
Senior Hamas leader in Gaza Mahmoud Azzahar announced Monday that the movement has new methods and means to fight Israel in retaliation for the killing of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin. Azzahar told Xinhua after Yassin’s funeral, in which about half a million Palestinian mourners participated, that "resistance would continue and of course there are other new means to fight Israel."
of course, the old ones have worked so well to date. how much closer is hamas to eradicating Israel?
"We know how to react to the villain assassination of Sheikh Yassin, and we are sure that in the end we will win and the Zionist enemy would be defeated," said Azzahar.
ummmm....would that be to kill and maim innocent people?
Azzahar escaped an Israeli assassination attempt in last October. Yet his eldest son was killed and his wife critically injured when Israeli F-16 warplanes hit his house. "These huge crowds of people and lovers of Yassin and Hamas is a referendum to Yassin, to Hamas and the strategy of the movement," said Azzahar. "It is a message that we are not afraid of being targeted."
no, it’s a message that they understand that Israel will not target innocents.
Asked about Israel’s accusations to Yassin which said he was behind numerous Palestinian suicide bombing attacks, Azzahar said "it is a great honor for Yassin to do so, and I believe he deserves to be a leader."
so he readily admits that Yassin was behind the suicide attacks, yet doesn’t acknowledge at all Israel’s motives for killing the sonofabitch.

#11  Well Bram, I guess their deaths would be slower - after all having your brains blown up through the top of your head is hardly a leisurely way to pop your clogs, is it?. Thing is, you gotta get past some 'real' soldiers to kill Sharon and co. and there's not one person in Gaza or the West Bank good enough to do that.

Not nice when the Jooos fight back, is it?

By the way, I'm glad he's dead.

#8  If you have seen the Yassin pics, it's clear that at least one of his arms was blown off. The Paleos are now going to beat the Israelis over the head with Yassin's severed arms. Also, some of the shards of his wheelchair are probably pretty sharp. They could use them to poke the Israelis.

#4  Hamas should target Sharon/NatanYAHOO, but their deaths should be more slow and painful.

#3  I think they'll try hitting places like chemical plants to release the toxic vapors. I heard Yoni on Hugh Hewitt's show say they tried to blowup some huge bromide (I think it was bromide) tanks with the winds blowing towards a nearby town.
