Hamas Says Israel to Pay 'Very High Price' if It Attacks Gaza
2014-03-24
[An Nahar] Gazoo's Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, premier Ismail Haniya warned Israel on Sunday it would pay dearly if it heeded its foreign minister's call to reoccupy the Paleostinian enclave to try to halt rocket attacks.

"We tell the enemy and (Foreign Minister Avigdor) Lieberman who is threatening to reoccupy Gazoo that the time for your threats is over," Haniya told a rally in Gazoo City.

"Any aggression or crime or stupidity you commit will cost you a very high price."

On March 12, during a two-day flare-up in which Gazoo faceless myrmidons fired at least 60 rockets into Israel and the Israelis responded with dozens of air strikes, Lieberman said Israel would have no choice but to reoccupy Gazoo, from which it withdrew all troops and settlers in summer 2005.

"There is no alternative to a full reoccupation of the entire Gazoo Strip," he told Channel 2 television.

Speaking to around 40,000 supporters at a public rally marking 10 years since an Israeli air strike killed Hamas spiritual leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, Haniya warned Israel that Gazoo faceless myrmidons had "far more capabilities than you imagine."

He also restated his Islamic movement's opposition to peace talks between Israel and the West Bank-based Paleostinian Authority of President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial...
.

"Stop negotiating with the enemy," he told the PA. "We will not recognize Israel."

The memorial rally for Yassin -- the wheelchair-bound co-founder of Hamas killed on March 22, 2004 -- took place under the watchful eyes of hundreds of Hamas coppers who closed off streets around the central al-Sarraya square and took up positions on rooftops.

Senior Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
officials and members of smaller groups attended the event but Abbas's Fatah, Hamas' bitter rival, stayed away.

The Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas' military wing, sent threatening text messages to Israelis and foreign news hounds in Israel on Saturday, the anniversary of Yassin's killing.

"If Gazoo will be attacked the life of the Zionists will be hell" and "In the next war all the Land of Paleostine will return," some read.

"Al-Qassam has chosen you to be the next Shalit," another message stated, referring to Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, who was kidnapped and held in Gazoo for five years until Hamas freed him in exchange for more than 1,000 Paleostinian prisoners.

The email account of an Israeli security affairs newsletter, Israel Defense, was hacked and an email posted on Yassin's killing. "We don't forget the blood of our sheikh, We swear again to take Dire Revenge™, and this time by taking off the head of your leaders," it said.

#4  Well, ST4064, the US DOES have armed groups like Hamas killing citizens, stealing property or beating and raping, or stealing, children in most of the larger inner city clusters. Nothing is done there other than cosmetic measures.

#2  Hamas, themselves, don't even expect to be taken seriously. What is it with monkeys waving sticks?

Don't they learn? And why are the Israelis so tolerant and nice about "measured" responses? If the United States had some political group like Hamas in Iowa, say, or Kansas who fired rockets into neighboring Indiana or somewhere scenic and threatened the US with dire consequence if we even thought about sending in troops to clean them out ( permanently ) what would the US do?

Why are they STILL around? Take the entire population and strip them naked and process them. Hands behind your head and next stop the Nefud and the only water you get is in an Israeli truck next week. Make do until then.

WHY are the Israelis so NICE?

And do YOU miss Yassin? Remember how they put him in several zip-lock sandwich bags...the parts they actually found around his smoking wheelchair, I mean. I thought that very considerate of the Israelis. Very thoughtful.

#1  Dig that sea level salt water canal around Gaza. Makes tunnels in the sand much more scary.
