Hamas: 'Winds of freedom' to blow on West Bank
2005-09-25
Hamas leaders in Hebron promised that the "winds of freedom will blow on the West Bank sooner or later".
Or maybe anarchy and slaughter. I guess we'll eventually find out...
"The Zionist evacuation from Gaza was a victory for the Palestinian resistance fighter, not the Palestinian negotiator," said Nayef Rajoub, a prominent Islamic leader in the southern West Bank, at a Hamas rally. "We all know that the Palestinian negotiator couldn't even dismantle a single screw in those defunct settlements," he said.

Rajoub strongly denounced American, European and Israeli pressure on the PA to disarm Hamas and other Palestinian resistance groups. Rajoub, a brother of PA official Jebril Rajoub, castigated "the harrowing by Arab and Muslim regimes to normalise relations with and terminate economic boycott of Israel". "In the past we used to condemn these regimes for doing nothing for the cause of Palestine save issuing denunciations and condemnation. Now we are becoming nostalgic to these days as the official Arab regimes no longer issue condemnations and denunciations." The Hamas political leader denounced the Kingdom of Bahrain and Pakistan for "betraying the al-Aqsa Mosque and succumbing to American pressure to normalise with the enemy of the Islamic Umma (community) at a time when the blood of Muslim children in Palestine is spilled in front of all these so-called Muslim leaders."

#7  "winds of freedom will blow on the West Bank sooner or later".

winds of freedom born on the wings of an F16 diving towards the Hamas headquarters in Tul Karem, I hope.

#6  I'll take "Palestinians" for fifty, Alex.

The "winds of freedom will blow on the West Bank sooner or later".

Okay, I'll give it a try:
What are "exploding Hamas militants"?

Correct!

#5  The only wind they will feel is after the rockets hit their targets in Gaza. How long do we think Isreal will hold back watching Hammas build and arm for an inevidable strike at Isreal.

Does Maddy Halfbright know about this?

#3  I think it is the "winds of freedom" taking place sooner that has Hamas worried. People willing to live in peace and freedom, side by side, have no need of an arsenal. Democracy is slowly taking hold in the ME, and the Arab nations recognizing Israel are putting pressure on the few hold-outs. The Euro/Lefties are nervous because this would give incentive for all the colonizers to return to their home countries, leaving their socialist agenda in the dust. There is no room for them in W's vision of a world comprised of free people with self-determination.

#2  It seems that Nayef will have to start developing a taste for the smell of NAPALM early in the morning.
