| Palestinian lemmings frolic in Gaza |
| 2002-02-11 |
Hamas paraded metre-long, locally made missiles at a rally in Gaza as masked "martyrs-in-waiting" vowed to carry out more suicide attacks against Israel. The display of missiles and threats to deploy human bombs raised the spectre of further such attacks by Hamas. Openly defying the international campaign to halt the violence, about 20 masked men clad in white wore what appeared to be fake explosive belts around their waists. Signs on their chests proclaimed them to be "martyrs-in-waiting." "Explosions are the only choice," they chanted as they forced their way through the 10,000-strong crowd in the impoverished Jabalya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip. This stuff is ever so much more important than starting businesses and learning trades and planting trees and crops and such. I always thought lemmings were indigenous to Norway. Guess Svein Forkbeard or somebody must have introduced them after his travels to the Holy Land. (We know the Palestinians didn't originally come from Norway, because Yasser never says "Yah, sure.") |
