| Israel to Resume Hamas âAssassinationsâ after Suicide Bomb |
| 2004-01-15 |
| EFL - the Scotsman Israel is expected to resume targeted killings of senior Hamas militants, a security official says, after a Palestinian suicide attacker blew herself up at a Gaza crossing, killing four Israelis. Whutta surprise - cause/effect lessons starting up again. Yassin first, please Top army commanders met at the Defence Ministry yesterday to consider a response. I vote for a violent one. After high-profile, but ineffective, attacks against Palestinian leaders in the summer â bombing a house where the entire Hamas leadership was meeting and a helicopter strike aimed at the top Hamas spokesman â Israel had scaled back its attacks in concert with a significant drop in Hamas bombings. worked for a while, hope they got the intel on where these assholes hide out now However, there was never evidence of even an unspoken agreement between the two enemies. Israel insisted that the downturn was attributable to its own security forces, claiming that they arrested as many as 30 potential suicide bombers. For their part, Hamas leaders, though often in hiding to avoid Israeli strikes, kept up their expect booms on the other side as well, now Halutz denied that the reduction in targeted killings was linked to a slowdown in Palestinian attacks. âSince it is a preventive measure, it has nothing to do with the number of casualties that we have,â he told a meeting of the Jerusalem Centre for Public Affairs yesterday. Air force helicopters launching missiles have been used in most of the targeted killings, which Palestinians say is assassination of their Bury the bitch in bacon âIt is not enough to call her a hero. Calling her hero does not give the whole truth. This woman abandoned her husband and children in order to win paradise,â a Hamas leader, Mahmoud Zahar, said in a eulogy. She was a Shero! The Israeli security official said the Hamas spiritual leader, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, issued a religious edict permitting women to carry out bombings, something Hamas resisted in the past, and that he personally approved Wednesdayâs attack. |

This woman abandoned her husband and children in order to win paradise,â Sounds like the husband may have been to lazy or 'islamic' (read: Holy) to provide for his family so the mother had to sacrifice her life so they would have a chance with the money they would get. |

| #7 Israel is expected to resume targeted killings of senior Hamas militants, a security official says, after a Palestinian suicide attacker blew herself up at a Gaza crossing, killing four Israelis. Don't see the point in having stopped targeting senior Hamas members to begin with. Sooner or later, someone from the West Bank or Gaza would inevitably end up killing, or trying to kill, more Israelis. |

| #6 and that he personally approved Wednesdayâs attack. Then he should personally die... Also, funerals and funeral processions with Hamas leaders escorting fallen comrades are subject to attack. I've always wondered why this has never been done. Begin bombing in five minutes! |

| #5 Israel needs to put out on public notice that Hamas leaders will be targeted. The Palestinians need to know that it will be hazardous to life and limb to be around Hamas leaders, as they will be targets at any time. Also, funerals and funeral processions with Hamas leaders escorting fallen comrades are subject to attack. In addition, religious clerics with documented public pronouncements for suicide bombing and other type attacks on Israel will be dealt with in the same manner as Hamas leaders. Israel needs to take the gloves off. Only by treating these Hamas leaders like the plague will Israel be able to stop this plague of death. The sooner it stops, the better off Israel AND the Palestinians will be. |
