Translation from Hebrew to English by me The head of the Palestinian Legislative Council, Rouhi Fattouh, have given legitimacy to the revenge terror attacks of the Hamas movement, which ever they may be, in response to the elimination of the leader of the movement, Sheik Ahmad Yassin, 3 weeks ago. In a press conference he convened yesterday, Fattouh said that it is the right of the Hamas movement to respond on the elimination of its leader and founder, "The Sheik is a jihad fighter and the symbol of the Palestinian, Arab and Islamic struggle," and in his words "no man...

The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) called the slain Hamas Sheikh Ahmad Yassin an "Islamic religious leader." To the American Muslim Association of North America (AMANA), he was a "renowned Islamic scholar." Anas Altikriti, president of the Muslim Association of Britain, declared that "for millions of Muslims all over the world, he was seen not only as the founder of Hamas, but as the spiritual father of the latest phase of Palestinian armed struggle for freedom." The media got into the act, too. Honest Reporting noted that Agence France Presse termed Yassin simply Hamas' "spiritual guide." The BBC stated...

As if the President didn't have enough on his plate right now - keeping the country safe, dealing with Iraq, worrying about when the economy is going to start producing jobs, and that little matter of convincing a majority of the American people he should keep his job - now he has to deal with the killing of Sheikh Ahmad Yassin. Hamas has threatened to retaliate - not only against Israel but against the United States. Al Qaeda is also on board. And Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz says more targeted killings are on the way. I can sympathize with...

I just got an email notifying me of a protest against Israel's recent actions killing the Hamas founder. Pro Israel supporters are going to counter this protest.

Protest Warriors can use the freepers help on this one. Here is the email I got: I just got an e-mail about this. I cannot make it. Perhaps some of you can..... Here is their notice:...

JERUSALEM — Hamas leader Ahmad Yassin — along with four other terrorists — was blown to smithereens by a missile fired from an Israeli helicopter gunship on Monday. Now they're mad over at Hamas HQ. They may even be angry enough to send a suicide bomber into an Israeli city to kill innocent people.   Yassin was considered Irsrael's bin Laden, routinely calling the Palestinian terrorism shots. Another Hamas leader, English-speaking media favorite Abdel Aziz Rantisi, declared to the thousands of Gazan Arabs who poured into the streets when the death of Yassin became known: "War is henceforth open...

JERUSALEM - Israel will try to kill the entire leadership of Hamas without waiting for another attack by the militant group, security sources said Tuesday, citing a decision made by Israeli security chiefs following the assassination of Hamas' founder. The killing of Sheik Ahmed Yassin on Monday threatened to escalate three and a half years of Israel-Palestinian fighting. Fearing revenge attacks, Israel beefed up security throughout the country and at its missions abroad. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians thronged the streets of Gaza City for Yassin's funeral procession Monday, and Hamas threatened punishing revenge attacks against Israel. It also hinted...

Happy Yassin DayBy Ariel Natan PaskoFrontPageMagazine.com | March 23, 2004 Hamas' "spiritual leader" Sheikh Ahmad Yassin -- the man who blessed every terror attack against Jews and gave "religious" justification for Hamas's genocidal murder campaign -- has been sent to his eternal reward. I hope he brought air conditioning. Notice, the "poor" crippled Sheikh is no more. No more TV interviews for him, no more al-Jazeera rants of "revenge" (!) against Israelis for him. Happy Yassin Day! The talking heads are already warning that Hamas will now step up attacks on Israel. You mean after all these homocide bombings Hamas has carried...

Arch-terrorist Sheikh Ahmed Yassin is dead - following an Israeli missile strike in Gaza at dawn today. Head of the international Hamas terror organization, Yassin met his end together with two of his sons, two other Hamas terrorists, and three others. Three air-to-surface missiles were fired at Yassin's vehicle around 5:30 AM as he left a local mosque. Yassin, bound to a wheelchair since he hurt his back in a childhood accident, was the charismatic leader and founder of the murderous terror organization. Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, leader of the Hamas terrorist group and personally responsible for dozens of terrorist attacks...

Hamas "spiritual leader" - i.e., he blessed every terror attack against Jews and gave "religious" justification for Hamas' genocidal murder campaign - Sheikh Ahmad Yassin, has been sent to his eternal reward. I hope he brought air conditioning. And yet, the bobbing heads of group-think, politicians like Yakov Katz of Likud and Avigdor Lieberman of National Union, not long ago "decided" it's time to kick Yasser Arafat out of the country. There they go again, how many times has this been suggested? Don't kick him out, kick him upstairs; i.e., give him a permanent vacation with his 72 virgins, and...

By killing Hamas leader Sheikh Ahmad Yassin on March 22, Israel eliminated the most important terrorist leader who has been waging war against it. Yassin always made it clear that he was dedicated to destroying the State of Israel and killing its citizens wherever they could be found. He reaped the whirlwind he had created. Yassin founded Hamas in the mid-1980s as a radical Islamic group opposed to any compromise or peace with Israel. The organization's charter is full of hatred against Jews using the most anti-Semitic language. While among Palestinians Hamas engaged in educational and social work to win...

I was not sure to post this. They are very graphic pictures of yassin, but many people have been requesting them, Here is the link http://www.alburaq.net/forum/thread.cfm?CFB=1&Tid=36516

YASSIN EMBRACED AS MARTYR BY ARAFAT, MUCH LIKE JOGGER KHOURI By Michael Widlanski 22 March 2004 Yasser Arafat's Palestinian National Authority publicly embraced the slain Sheikh Ahmad Yassin, leader of the HAMAS movement, as a "brother warrior," following his fiery death by helicopter-borne Israeli missiles. Sheikh Yassin, who was crippled in a soccer game in his youth, had been the active spiritual leader of the HAMAS (an abbreviation in Arabic for Harakat al-Muqawwima al-Islamiyya: The Islamic Resistance Movement) which calls for Israel's destruction and has taken responsibility for more than several hundred murders of Israelis. "Today is a bloody day...
