Sheikh Nimir: Blood of martyrs is the road map to liberation
2003-05-04
Sheikh Ahmed Nimir, one of the Hamas Movement leaders in the Gaza Strip, has affirmed the importance of honoring blood of martyrs. Nimir was speaking at a mourning ceremony for the martyr Nidal Salama, one of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine’s cadres who was assassinated by Zionist occupation forces last week. The Sheikh called for supporting relatives of martyrs who offered their souls for the sake of the nation and the cause, adding that blood of those martyrs was the road-map leading the Palestinian people to liberation and independence.
Ahah. A counter-roadmap...
Representatives of national and Islamic forces along with prominent figures and PFLP cadres and leaders and hundreds of citizens attended the ceremony organized by the Front yesterday in the southern Gaza Strip city of Khan Younis. Nimir emphasized that the Palestinian people would pursue their intifada regardless of sacrifices and would foil all conspiracies that target aborting their brave resistance.
Still more conspiracies...
He affirmed the importance of sticking to the resistance option and escalating intifada until elimination of Zionist occupation and realization of national legitimate rights.
"Yes! Yes! Keep killing yourselves, my people!"
Omar Tayeh, one of the PFLP cadres, said that the Front had lost a prominent leader who had a played distinctive role in the Front’s march and in backing Palestinian struggle.
Ah, yes. He will be missed. By his Mom, anyway...
He affirmed that his Front would violently retaliate to the cowardly assassination and would hunt agents to the Zionist killers.
"Yes! We must have Dire Revenge™!"

#3  I agree with you Frank. There is only so much a family counselor can do, eventually the family needs to really have it out amongst themselves.

As Jefferson once said, ""a little rebellion now and then is a good thing"

#2  rather than a counter-roadmap, I think these moves and the people who make them are speedbumps as long as GWB is in office. As most here have read been subjected to my rants, I believe a true Paleo civil war is the only way they'll eventually be dragged kicking and screaming into peace and the 21st century. Oh, and Yasser's bloody, ugly death at Paleo hands. Have a nice day ;-)

#1  Israel isn't going to have a minute's peace until it throws the whole Arab bunch out. The Arab idea of "Palestine" is everything that belongs to Israel, as well as Gaza and the West Bank. Israel knows this, and is getting pretty damned tired of the rest of the world trying to marginalize their existence.
