JERUSALEM - Hamas marked its 15th anniversary yesterday with a rally led by armed militiamen and bombers-in-waiting threatening new attacks on Israel.....


The Hamas rally in a stadium in the town of Khan Younis in southern Gaza drew at least 30,000 supporters who shook their fists in the air and chanted ''[Allah] is great!'' as a group founder, Ahmed Nimer Hamdan, said the fight against Israel will continue.

Hamas fighters ''will not lay down their weapons and will not stop firing their bullets until the end of this battle,'' Hamdan said.

To the beat of marching music, 60 members of the Hamas military wing walked onto a stage. Several were armed with M-16 or Kalashnikov assault rifles, hand grenades, mortar launchers and antitank rockets.

They were followed by 15 men in white robes, meant to symbolize the death shrouds of suicide bombers. ''Martyrs in waiting'' was written on the back of the robes, and the would-be bombers had explosives belts tied around their waists.

In a separate celebration in Khan Younis stadium and attended by around 40,000 Hamas supporters, Younis Al-Astal, one of the Movement's leaders, said that Hamas would never bargain over resistance.

He said that Zionist crimes and massacres proved correctness of the choice pursued by Hamas and the Palestinian masses.

Astal affirmed that martyrdom commandos would continue to chase Zionists on all areas of Palestine. He denounced attempts by certain quarters within the PA to deviate the intifada from its path or to spread doubts on feasibility of resistance.

Hamas fighters ''will not lay down their weapons and will not stop firing their bullets until the end of this battle,'' Hamdan said.

Hamas will without a doubt lose their war against Israel and their fighters will "lay down their weapons" when they die.
In the end, Hamas will be destroyed.

Thanks. I was reading about in the Scripture last night regarding Molech.
