#1 Hamas leaders go underground, threaten 'earthquake' in Israel

Six feet underground would be fine with me.

#2 "We call on all military cells to act immediately and act like an earthquake to blow up the Zionist entity and tear it to pieces."

Hamas said it would "teach the criminal enemy new painful lessons" and that the "Gaza Strip, if the enemy invades it, will be transformed into a graveyard for the invaders".

Invade? Who the hell wants to invade? Carpet-bomb, sure, but invade?

#4 Reading that headline, I can't avoid the mental picture of a bunch of Hamas guys with picks and shovels: "Keep digging, Mahmoud; the fault line must be down here somewhere!"

#5 That rumbling those Hamas boys are feeling ain't the earth moving, it's their bowels trembling.

#6 Agree with D.S. The head on the post should be more like "Hamas Leaders Call Full Mobilization. All Will Soon Be Underground."

#7 Maybe Hamas is convinced Sharon wants them wiped out because the Israeli government has ordered it:

Israeli army radio reports the army has been ordered to 'completely wipe out' the Palestinian Islamic militant group Hamas, a day after a suicide bomber killed 16 people on a Jerusalem bus.

Israeli helicopters killed nine Palestinians in strikes on militants after the bombing, leaving the US-backed peace "roadmap" in tatters.

Israeli Internal Security Minister Tzachi Hanegbi says no Hamas leader is safe.

The army order, which directs the military to use "whatever means necessary," was issued following a meeting of Defence Minister Shaul Mofaz with the army's top command shortly after the attack.

It is directed not only at the infrastructure of the organisation, but at its leadership, with everyone, "from the lowliest member to Sheikh Ahmad Yassin," a Hamas founder and its spiritual guide, as a legitimate target.
