| Yassin To Yasser: Do Not Die In Humiliation |
| 2002-09-25 |
| Source: Palestine Information Centre Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, founder and spiritual leader of the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, has addressed a message to Palestinian Authority chief Yasser Arafat asking him to remain steadfast and not to surrender to the Hebrew state. Yassin, who shared in a march organized in Gaza by national and Islamic forces in solidarity with Arafat, said that the Zionist siege of Arafat and his aides and security men in Ramallah targeted an end to the intifada and resistance. They march in support, but they ignore him... The Hamas leader said, "My message to Arafat is: Do not surrender to Zionist demands, the enemy wants an end to resistance and intifada, and that end will entail defeat. You have to remain steadfast until the enemy is defeated". The Sheikh advised Arafat, "Keep your head up high and die in dignity and do not die in defeat and humiliation. Caving in and ending resistance mean the defeat for the Palestinian people. Thus we should always work for continuation of resistance to defeat the enemy and to force it give us back our rights". "But make sure you die, okay? 'Cuz we need a martyr, and we can harp on you pegging out for years to come..." |
