Palestinians rally for Sheikh Yassin
Minor editing for terminology...
Some 2500 lemmings belonging to the Islamic group Hamas have swarmed into the streets of the northern West Bank city of Nablus to make faces, jump up and down, holler and shake their fists in support of its spiritual leader, Sheikh Ahmad Yassin, whom Israel has threatened to assist from the gene pool. The crowd departed from Nablus' Old City al-Nasir Mosque on Friday and tromped-tromped-tromped towards the centre of town. The marchers waived Hamas' trademark green flag and chanted "We will sacrifice our soul and our blood for you Saddam Sheikh Yassin!" and "For every threat to Sheikh Yassin, Israel will pay a high price."
They used to say the same for Sammy. Did him a lot of good, too...
Israel believes Yassin, who escaped an attempt on his life last year, personally ordered up a boomer at a border crossing with Gaza last week which prompted Deputy Defense Minister Zeev Boim to mark him for death.
... like he marked others for death. Fair sounds fair to me, but what the hell do I know? I'm just an infidel.
