| Hamas distributes $100,000 in Zaitun suburb |
| 2004-06-13 |
| The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, has distributed 100,000 dollars on owners of demolished and damaged houses in the Zaitun suburb in Gaza city during the Zionist incursion last month. The Movement, in a ceremony organized at the Salahuddin Al-Ayubi mosque in Gaza city in the presence of Hamas leaders and scores of Zaitun inhabitants, distributed compensations ranging between 3,000 to 10,000 dollars according to the bulk of the destruction. Dr. Mahmoud Abu Duf delivered a statement on behalf of Hamas saluting the Zaitun inhabitants for their resoluteness and resistance of the occupation forces during the incursion. He emphasized that the money was not equal to a drop of blood of a martyr, the suffering of a captive or the screams of the wounded but they were only meant as a sign of loyalty to the steadfast people and in implementation of Islamic teachings. Abu Duf said that the road to dignity was filled with tragedies and sufferings. He said that Hamas extended a helping hand out of duty to boost the steadfastness of the Palestinian people. Samir Kurdiyya delivered a statement in the name of the victims hailing the Hamas efforts and its charitable societies for standing alongside the Palestinian people at times of crisis. He affirmed that the Palestinian people would stand fast and would not be terrorized by the Zionist war machine. Kurdiyya urged all Palestinian and Arab official and popular institutions to support the Palestinian people's steadfastness. |

| #1 "distributed compensations ranging between 3,000 to 10,000 dollars according to the bulk of the destruction." so at most 33 "victims" and at least 10 received some compensation? Woo Hoo! What about the rest of the Paleos who became the "effect" from the Paleo "Cause"? Arafat's billions off limits for compensation or even discussion on HamasOnline? BTW Fred - isn't that a lovely site? KCNA without the flowery language |
