Zahar: We have 200000 suicide bombers
Jerusalem Post ^ | 4-29-08 | KHALED ABU TOAMEH

Israel may have 200 nuclear warheads, but Hamas has 200,000 people who want to blow themselves up inside Israel, Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahar said Tuesday.

Slideshow: Pictures of the week Zahar, who was speaking to supporters at the Islamic University in Gaza City, said Israel would pay a heavy price if it rejected the Egyptian initiative for truce with the Palestinians.

"If Israel says no, it will pay a heavy price," he said. "We are a besieged people and we will have to use all our tools to defend ourselves against Israel."

Zahar said he expected Egyptian Intelligence Chief Omar Suleiman to brief Israeli leaders next week on Cairo's efforts to achieve a truce.

He said that once Israel accepted the Egyptian initiative, all the border crossings into the Gaza Strip would be reopened. "The issue of the truce initiative will be determined finally next week," he added. "I believe Israel will accept the initiative, although it will try to drag its feet on some issues."

The Hamas leader pointed out that his movement had accepted a cease-fire with Israel in 2005. "Hamas benefited from that truce and no one can deny this," he said. "Even those who opposed the previous truce have admitted that it was useful."

Zahar criticized Palestinian factions that were opposed to the latest Egyptian initiative, saying some of them had received $1.5 million from Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to boycott a Hamas rally against the US-sponsored peace conference in Annapolis last December.

Zahar said that Hamas would not agree to the presence of EU monitors at the Rafah border crossing, as was the case before June 2007, when Hamas took full control over the entire Gaza Strip. In the past, Hamas said it would agree to the return of the monitors on condition that they lived in the Gaza Strip or Egypt and not in Israel.

Zahar's remarks came as representatives of several Palestinian groups began talks in Cairo over the truce proposal.

The Egyptians summoned the representatives in a bid to persuade them to accept the initiative. Among the groups that are participating in the discussions are Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

An Egyptian diplomat told The Jerusalem Post that all the groups have agreed in principle to the truce. He said that Cairo was optimistic regarding the prospects of achieving a deal as early as next week, especially since Hamas has already agreed to the truce.

The diplomat confirmed that Omar Suleiman was planning to visit Israel next week for talks with Israeli government officials on the outcome of his discussions with the Palestinian groups. "We are very close to achieving an agreement," the diplomat said. "We believe all the parties are interested in a lengthy period of calm."

Hamas legislator Mushir al-Masri said Tuesday that a truce with Israel would not be possible unless all the Palestinian groups agreed to it.

"We won't go to a hudna [temporary truce] unless there is a consensus among the Palestinians about it," he said. "We are aware that some groups are opposed to a truce, but don't believe that the major factions would reject a mutual and comprehensive truce that would end the siege imposed on the Gaza Strip."

There is no dealing with people who want to die for their evil cause, who think it’s the ultimate in religious practice to put a bomb around their children. They have to be EXPELLED from every civilized country in the world and sent back to their hellholes where they came from.

We are a lazy people and have no use for tools as long as we have the Israelis doing all the hard work for us.

I’m thinking of all the damage they could do in Israel, but then I’m thinking of 200,000 dead terrorists. Might be worth it.

Well, if they all blow themselves up, that will be 200,000 less terrorists in the world.....that would be OK.

The great thing about land mines is that you only have to
THINK that they are there. After all, who would risk it?

Yep. Every person in Gaza who prays towards Mecca (or who is an ex-president of the US) is an enemy and fair game.

The kicker is that they don't believe that it makes them homosexuals. In at least Arab culture, only the man being penetrated is considered to be a homosexual. Coincidently, if you happen to have been a boy subjected to this by another man (boys are allowed out without chaperons) the only way to regain your manhood is via dying in jihad.

If all weapons were deployed, anyone want to bet who would win?

muslim paradise not a very quite and tranquil place

Imagine spending eternity with 72 virgins all asking what you're thinking and wanting to talk about the relationship.

Exactly.

Just declare the Gaza Strip to be a giant ‘bomb, type: suicide’ factory... and then demolish it.

Proves BEYOND ashadow of a doubt these folks have been wiping and eating with the same hand for wayyy too long. Zahar's logic is about as sociopathetic( no misspell) as any Nutzi during the Holocaust. One can hope maybe Syria declares war, the Israeli defense systems divert their gas filled missiles and drop it right square in Gaza or the West bank for that matter; then they would only have themselves to blame. A "hudna" is just a BS game anyway.

“Zahar: We have 200000 suicide bombers”

No problem. All Israel has to do is bomb the next 10 Hamas funerals to get rid of all of them, while they’re all jumping around screaming and shooting their AK47’s in the air.
