| AFTER MONTHS OF RELATIVE CALM, A TERROR STRIKE TO THE HEART OF JERUSALEM. |
| 2004-02-05 |
| The Palestinian Islamic movement, Hamas, became Friday the second radical Palestinian group to claim responsibility for a suicide bus bombing in Jerusalem that left 10 people dead as well as the attacker. (Hamas doesnât want to be left out of credit for Bus Bombings obviously ever) The Islamist movementâs armed wing issued a statement in which it said that Ali Munir Yussef Jihara was one of its members and that he had âactivated his explosives belt on the number 19 bus transporting Zionist usurpers.â (What a hero- his mom and pop must be so proud) The Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades said the attack near the official residence of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was âa clear message to the Zionist war criminalâ after the killing of eight Palestinians on the southern outskirts of Gaza City on Wednesday by Israeli troops. (Yep Iâll be that really scared Sharon-it probably wonât piss him off right?) Hamas published on its website Friday a picture of the bomber who was wearing a band with the incripition âthe Al-Qassam Brigadesâ. (How about a pic of his house after the Israelis destroy it-or a video of the demolition) The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, a radical offshoot of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafatâs Fatah movement, had claimed responsibility for the attack on Thursday. But Hamas condemned what it called the âhasty claimâ by the organisation. (Do I see a small fray here between the bombers beginning mmmmmmm. Bombers bombing other bombers- that would be interesting) The two groups carried out a joint suicide attack at the Erez border crossing between Gaza and Israel earlier this month. (Another well planned mission to endear themselves to the Israelis) Jihara was a 24-year-old policeman from the Ayda refugee camp in the Bethlehem region of the West Bank. (Well he wonât be on COPS again) He was the nephew of Jihad Jihara, one of 13 Palestinians expelled to European countries after a siege at Bethlehemâs Church of the Nativity in May 2002. (Oh ya I remember those guys- hid in a church and used it as a fortress-Itâs ok to use other peoples religious places since they are all infidels anyways right?) |

| #2 Maybe Israel should begin to attack the some of the Palestinian infrastructure after the next suicide/murder bomber strike; crater the roads and highways and knock out Palestinian power stations. Are the Paleos attached to Israel's power grid? Disconnect them. Whatever. A LOT of pain needs to be applied to figure out whether there's any value in even considering some sort of peace process while Arafart, his thugs, and his fellow terrorists are running the show. |

| #1 (Oh ya I remember those guys- hid in a church and used it as a fortress-Itâs ok to use other peoples religious places since they are all infidels anyways right?) They didn't just use it as a fortress, they desecrated it. EFL Orthodox space hit hardest at Church of the Nativity * * * Gunmen, some said, raided food supplies and trashed monastic cells. * * * . . . they shot their way through the main doors of the Roman Catholic Church of St. Catherine, a 19th-century sanctuary adjoining the Orthodox basilica. * * * The New York Times and other publications reported that the most militant Palestinians appear to have lived, fought and died in the quarters of the Orthodox monks. * * * Franciscan priests did report that gunmen tore up Bibles for toilet paper. * * * [Meanwhile, in the Orthodox section] One altar had been used a common table, the baptismal font as a washtub and parts of the nave as latrines. The Grotto of the Nativity was used as a morgue. And Eastern Orthodox believers were unable to celebrate Holy Week and their Easter on May 5. * * * May 25, 2002 This is just one limited report on the desecration. It was much more extreme. But, even given this description, would we Westerners get away with doing even half of this to a Muslim mosque? These pigs have no morals and no respect. |
