They seem to be running short of Sr. Hamas leaders.

Allah Fubar!

That not Harley Davison
NO SIR

OH NO not Harley

[MarineDad]

Wouldn't be that newly-introduced Triumph megacruiser - the Rocket III, would it?

[SevenofNine]

YUP I think that is

Damn Foreign company I didn't know IDF come out with their version of Harley Davidson

THAT SUCKS LOL!

[T'wit]

>> Hamas accused Israel of a “cowardly assassination crime”.

There is no pleasing some people. They want to be "martyrs" and get their 72 virgins. But if you do what you can to help and make them martyrs, they get mad about it and call you names.

[Alouette]

Hamas charged that Israel was responsible for what it called a "dirty assassination crime."

Of course, these "people" think that shooting a two-year-old strapped in a car seat at point blank is a heroic deed.

[MarineDad]

Might be due to 14 centuries of interbreeding with their livestock.

Maybe.

Aw, c'mon - it simply couldn't have anything to do with their creed!

That's unthinkable.

Hey Mohammed! Yes Wael, what is it? May Allah strike me dead if I'm wrong about attacking the Israelis! Yes Wael, God is great!

Seconds later:

Witnesses said they saw a flash in the sky and then the motorcycle exploded

Israeli Missiles Kill 3 Hamas Members

GAZA CITY, May 30 -- An Israeli helicopter fired two missiles into Gaza City early Sunday, killing three members of Hamas and wounding seven bystanders, Palestinian witnesses said.

Hamas, or the Islamic Resistance Movement, identified one of the dead men as Wael Nassar, a high-profile leader of the group's military wing, known as the Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades, who had been wanted by Israel for years.

Hamas said Nassar was the architect of a May 11 ambush in which six Israeli soldiers were blown up when their troop carrier rolled over a mine during a raid in the Gaza City neighborhood of Zeitoun.

Palestinian medics said three of the seven civilian wounded were in critical condition. A woman and two children were among the casualties, they said.

The Israeli army had no immediate comment..."

In the words of Ted Nugent.....

"I got you in a stranglehold, baby, and then I crushed your face!!"

[xJones]

Hamas charged that Israel was responsible for what it called a "dirty assassination crime."

Oh, absolutely. It would have been a clean righteous killing if an Hamas homicide bomber had blown himself up in the middle of an Israeli kindergarten.< /obvious sarcasm>

The Hamas problem is that they don't understand that their leadership could be splattered instead of innocent Israelis. And that Israelis aren't going to give them the chance anymore to practice their murderous dreams.

Israel has taken on Hamas and the Hamas leadership is being decimated - and that's not the way it's supposed to be! (loud ulullating sound in the background.)

Oh yeah. BTW - ALLAH AKBAR MOTHER@#^^ERS!!!!!!!!

[TrueBeliever9]

>>>only Arafat were next<<<

Sounds prophetic: "only Arafat left" has a better ring!

[Petronski]

Allahu fubar!

[devolve]

Israel responds to Hamas demand for "amplified mosque statements".

Hamas responds with more "amplified mosque statements".

Hamtraak city council to study issue.

[Lijahsbubbe]

It certainly adds some *zing* to the weekend, doesn't it? :D

Sure makes it a "memorable" one!

It was not immediately clear what caused the explosion.

Somebody lifted the guard and pressed the red button. That's what caused the explosion.
