| Sheikh Yassin calls for more blood... |
| 2002-09-16 |
| Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, founder and spiritual leader of the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, has affirmed that his Movement's political and military strength was intact whether in the West Bank or the Gaza Strip. He thus refuted Zionist media reports that claimed the Zionist army had wiped out 95% of Hamas military strength in the West Bank. The sheikh also said he could walk, even fly if he wanted to, and that he was 24 years old and blonde... Yassin affirmed that the Qassam Brigades, military wing of Hamas, had retained its strength and underground cells in the West Bank. He pointed that the recent blows leveled against Hamas' political and military wings did not have a big impact on the military cells, which were preparing to launch armed operations in the Zionist depth. The Hamas leader affirmed that the Zionist enemy could not stop resistance because it was running like blood in the It's all they can think of. They have one track minds. Of course, they have nothing else to do, either, since Hamas has helped ruin their economy... He also underlined that the Palestinian Authority should not bow to American-Sharonic dictates because they were two faces to one coin in fighting Islam. Yassin wondered what the PA would gain in return for halting resistance especially when Sharon no longer recognized that Authority nor any other agreement signed with it? Probably they'd gain some sort of legitimacy that they could start building on to become a normal government instead of a gang. It wouldn't happen overnight, but they could do it — but Armed Struggle® is too easy to engage in, especially when the cannon fodder's cheap and easily replaced. Negotiations, planning, the intricacies of public finance, that's all too complicated. |
