Hamas spokesman Mahmoud Az-Zahar claimed victory for Hamas on Monday, saying Hamas had succeeded in “destroying Israel's sense of security” with its rocket attacks. Zahar made his proclamation in video footage sent from a secret hideout, where he is taking shelter in order to avoid being targeted in an IAF strike. Other Hamas leaders have gone into hiding as well.
Zahar directed his message to Hamas' troops, and promised them victory over the IDF. “We must be patient until we are victorious, Allah will help us,” he said. Hundreds of Hamas terrorists have been killed since the “Cast Lead” operation began last week, including 100 since the start of Israel's ground operation, and several of the group's senior leaders have been assassinated. Dozens have been taken prisoner as well.
The Hamas leader called to murder Israelis and Jews worldwide, including children. “The Israelis have sentenced their children to death... They have legitimized the killing of their people all over the world,” he said. Hamas' platform calls for all Jews to convert to Islam or be killed, based on an Islamic saying (Hadith), and the group has not refrained from targeting children in the past.
Hamas will destroy synagogues and Jewish schools as well, Zahar said, just as Israel destroyed mosques in Gaza. Israel bombed several mosques used to store rockets and ammunition.
Zahar suggested Hamas was prepared to seek a ceasefire, saying Hamas would discuss “whatever is good for our people.” He issued a list of demands, saying any ceasefire must include a complete end to IDF counterterrorism activities, Hamas control of the Gaza coast and the opening of Israeli crossings.
Israel has not offered Hamas a ceasefire, and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert recently said operations in Gaza would continue “until we achieve our goals.”
“Satire, right???”
Too funny. I stopped reading partway into the article to check the keywords to see if “humor”, or “satire” were there.
NOPE!
Takes as special person to wish the death of children. His Koran might say such (somewhere), my bible tells me that children are special and to be comforted and cherishes. Which religion would you chose?
Quite the statesman. Can you be a martyr if no one is left to remember your name?
There is nothing new under the sun.
My thoughts, exactly.
Hitler in the bunker, though not even Hitler was so stupid as to declare victory from his hiding place.
Next, mahmoud will be claiming victory because of having caused Israel to use up large amounts of munitions.
What a religion. Sick bastards.
Candygram!
For me?
Don't open the door! It's a missile with your name on it!
Candygram!
Coming! (click)
shit!
We have induced wear on the Israeli combat machines and caused them to expend expensive ammunition. We have dirtied their uniforms with our blood and repeatedly bruised their knuckles with our faces.
This is a mental illness of the worst sort.
Another decapitation strike is in order like the one last week on the Hamas, ahem, “head”.
Have we sold Israel any fuel-air explosives?
If not, let’s start.
Re Hitler in his bunker. Yes, and he ended up dead. Guess Zahar hasn’t read any western history books. Oh well, let him die as an ignorant man. The look on his face as an Israeli missile comes into his bunker would be PRICELESS. One less piece of scum to pollute the air with his CO2.
In the old days fuel-air bombs were called napalm. Nobody produces it any more. Something about it being a “no-no” weapon. And that was just the US position.
Screw this politically correct nonsense. Napalm is the perfect weapon to take out bunkers and Hezbollah’s positions in southern Lebanon. Saves using a lot of bombs and ground troops. Covers a lot of ground, and is cheap. It might be the Saturday Night Special of warfare, but damn it, it works well.
Called “crispy critter time” in Nam. Not too many VC left around to testify as to how effective it was against them. One Marine I knew told about a napalm strike on a North Vietnamese company. Apparently nobody survived. A tear!
Kill the bastards and let the buzzards have a feast.
Did FDR call for the slaughter of Japanese children after pearl harbor? Did GWB call for it after 9/11?
Does anyone with a shred of decency think that this is acceptable rhetoric?
Weird how MSM doesn’t report these statements, you just can’t make this stuff up.
Fortunately his days are now numbered in single digits.
Following are facts and figures released by the IDF and related to Israel’s decision to launch “Operation Cast Lead”:
9,400+ Rockets and mortars fired from Gaza since 2003.
3,200+ Rockets and mortars fired from Gaza in 2008.
6,500+ Rockets and mortars fired from Gaza since Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005.
543+ Rockets and mortars fired during the ceasefire from June 19 to Dec. 19, 2008.
28 Deaths caused by rockets and mortars fired from Gaza into Israel since 2001.
1,000+ People in Israel injured from rockets and mortars fired from Gaza since 2001.

GO ISRAEL !
=========================
to KingofZion. Remember, Hamas wants to kill Jewish children. No story for the Mainstream Media there. Move on to an Israeli missile accidentally killing a Palestinian child. “Cry Genocide” and blame the Jews.
Hope this explains the “weird” of the MSM. They don’t give a shit when a Jew gets killed. Ah, the New Germans.
He needs a missile going through his opposite orifice..
The religion of “peace” strikes again.
