2009-01-05 Israel-Palestine-Jordan

THE armed wing of Hamas said today that it has "thousands" of fighters ready to battle Israel in Gaza, in a second defiant televised address by the Islamists in a day.

"We have prepared thousands of brave fighters who are waiting for you in each corner of the street and will welcome you with fire and iron,'' Abu Obeida, the spokesman for the Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades, said in a broadcast on Hamas's Al-Aqsa television channel.

"We tell you in all confidence that your defeat in the Gaza Strip is approaching with every hour,'' he said. "As long as the aggression intensifies, your losses will increase and you will sink further into the Gaza quagmire. od willing, we are at the gates of victory and the Zionist Jews will suffer only defeat and humiliation.''

"The Qassams still have many means and have up to now used only a part of their forces,'' he said.

#5 In order to secure the area, IDF needs to clear it of rats and other vermin. It's always helpful if they come out to play. Come on out, Hamas, today is a good day to die.

#7 Why assume he's lying? I'd guess there are plenty of Hamas fighters dug in inside schools and hospitals all over Gaza. They don't have to be good fighters, just able to keep the kids from running away.

#8 "thousands" of Black Knights. Imagine a Monty Python movie with thousands of Black Knights (but a flesh wound!) and a few thousand more who taunt the Israelis by running away some more.

#9 The mindless bravado alone should be justification for slaying the entire lot. IDF please spare nothing. Not a goat, donkey, or chicken left standing.

#10 do they count the kiddies dressed as suicide bombers as their fighters?

#11 "ready for battle": I guess that means they went out and bought body bags for Hamas.
