Meshaal Hopes to Become Gaza 'Martyr'
 [An Nahar] Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, leader in exile Khaled Meshaal made his first visit to Gazoo on Friday, kissing the ground and saying he hoped he would one day die a "martyr" in the Paleostinian territory.I would like that too, let's schedule it. Does tomorrow sound good? After his seven-vehicle convoy swept across the border from Egypt, Meshaal got out and kissed Paleostinian soil before embracing Gazoo's Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniya. Green Hamas flags and the red, white, green and black of the Paleostinian flag were everywhere to mark the unprecedented visit which was timed to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Islamist movement. Meshaal was accompanied by his deputy Mussa Abu Marzuk and other brass hats on a trip which came just two weeks after the end of a deadly confrontation with Israel, which began on November 14 with an Israeli air strike that killed Hamas military commander Ahmed Jaabari. Shortly after his arrival, Meshaal was taken to see the charred remains of Jaabari's car, which had been transported to Rafah especially for the visit. "I hope God will make me a martyr on the land of Paleostine in Gazoo," he said. Posted by: Fred 2012-12-08 |
