| Hamas leader prays in Gaza synagogue |
| 2005-09-14 |
| Via DhimmiWatch Hours after thousands of Palestinians desecrated synagogues in Gaza, setting them on fire and taking buildings apart by hand, members of the Palestinian terror group Hamas, headed by senior Hamas chief Mahmoud Zahar, arrived at the synagogue in Kfar Darom and held a Muslim prayer session at the site. Ahmad Jabari, another senior figure in Hamas, said that Hamas would continue to attack Israel. âThe withdrawal proves that the resistance is the only legitimate weapon. We will strike at any hand that reaches for our weapons,â said Jabari. âThe jihad and the resistance are the only ways to liberate our homeland, not negotiations and agreements,â said Jabari. The Hamas leader ruled out the possibility that Hamas members would join Palestinian security forces, saying, âwe will never be part of that corrupt Authority,â before waving his gun. Earlier, thousands of Palestinian burst into abandoned Israeli settlements in Gaza Monday morning, where they burned a synagogue and took away pieces of the rubble. They Palestinian Authority later bulldozed the synagogue. Palestinian security forces stood on the side and did not act to restrain the crowds, and failed to prevent the chaotic scenes. In Kfar Darom, dozens of gunmen from the Popular Front wandered around unchallenged by Palestinian Authority security forces, who sat underneath trees in silence. Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom slammed the burning of Gaza synagogues, characterizing it as âa barbaric act by people who have no respect for holy places.â However, Yossi Sarid (Meretz-Yahad), said that âit was known from the start that this destruction would happened. How easy it is for the government to blame someone for this, to condemn the Palestinians with rage.â |

| #5 Just underscores the fundamental problem - they don't play well with others. The world has for the most part evolved and changed greatly. Paleos and their kin are fundamentally the same as they ever were. Sounds alot like a description of the state of affairs back in the 12th, 13th and 14th centuries in the Holy Land. |

| #3 Too bad the Israelis were too nice to booby-trap the synagogues before they pulled out, huh? A nice radio-controlled surprise package would've come in real handy... |

| #2 Like dogs pissing to mark their territory. Not really surprising. Lets see if they turn the synagogues into sheepfolds. |

| #1 Paleos. Will be fair when muslims are tossed off the temple mount and Jews take it apart by hand and start worship there as the Paleos could have know this from the start as well too? Paleos be careful what you do now. Israel no longer has anything to risk in the Gaza strip. What small part of the West Bank you may get is entirely up to Israel and Jordan. Jordan has claims that would be more valid than any Paleo claim to the West Bank and they are an actual country which knows how to deal with Israel as an equal and honor it's comitments. |
