Hamas Warns Israel of ‘Sea of Blood’ If Yassin Is Targeted
2004-01-18
Hamas warned yesterday that Israel would “drown in a sea of blood” if it tries to kill Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, the spiritual leader of the largest radical Palestinian movement.
"Sea of blood," "sea of fire," same idea...
“Israel will pay a high price for any attempt to hurt Sheikh Yassin or any other Hamas leader,” the Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, said in a statement sent to AFP in Gaza. “We will make the Israeli Zionists drown in a sea of blood.”
"BLOOD! Blood! Seas of blood! Rivers of blood! Puddles of blood! We like blood! Blood is what we do!"
The warning was in response to a veiled threat by Israel’s Deputy Defense Minister Zeev Boim to resume the policy of assassinating Palestinian leaders after he said the elderly sheikh was a marked man. “Sheikh Yassin is marked for death, and he should hide himself deep underground where he will not know the difference between day and night. And we will find him in the tunnels, and we will eliminate him,” Boim said Thursday.
What's veiled about that?
The military believes Yassin, who escaped an Israeli attempt on his life last year, personally ordered a suicide bombing at the Gaza-Israel crossing point Wednesday by a young Palestinian mother that killed four Israelis.

#16  What is it, is there a troll convention in town?

I think it's time for Israel to quit playing games, and drive all the Arabs back where they came from. Anyone trying to stop them gets blasted. Tell Zeurope to go piss up a rope, and announce to the world Israel has a SUBSTANTIAL nuclear arsenal, and the means to deliver it. I would LOVE to see Isreal launch a rocket to the moon - there would be so much a$$-puckering in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, you could make a fortune selling rectal suppositories.

#15  Hamas are freedom fighters fighting the terrorist government of Israel. When they take your land, your pride, and everything your own, only one thing left to do....Kick Ass. Shouts out to all the freedom fighters of Palestine.

#14  Bad boys Bad boys what you gonna do, what you gonna do when Hamas comes after you. My only complaint is Hamas isn't doing a good enough job of getting rid of the IDF.

“drown in a sea of blood”
Fine by me, as long as it's Hamas' blood.

#11  AP. Better yet a sea of pig LARD :).

In a way I kind of feel sorry for the Paleos that this lying, murdering, sack of pus is the 'leader' they are stuck with. On the other hand -- they are getting what they deserve.

#10  Terrorists like Yassin need to drown in a Sea of S--t™. That is all they deserve for dumping all this misery on BOTH the Israelis and the Paleos.

#6  These clowns need to spend a few weeks with the KCNA folks, 'cuz this rant's about a 4.0 on the stock cliche scale.

#5  When they do get him, can you imagine the wild scene, as paleos swarm his cratered remains to wipe his blood on their faces, running to and fro from one ambulance to another, slaming doors, pushing gurnies back and forth, thrusting arms, wild shreiks, children shooting AKs into the air. What a carnivel.

#4  Didn't these guys hear? Yassin doesn't care if he dies! He'd welcome becoming a martyr!

#3  Dire Consequences©! Although, 'seas of blood' doesn't quite have the panache of "stomachs roasting in hell". Did he at least call the IDF retarded?

#2  Hamas used to say 'they have opened the gates of hell'. It seems to me that a 'sea of blood' isn't as bad, especially if it is Hamas blood.

#1  Of course if they dont kill Yassin they will drown in a 'Sea of Blood' anyway...

The only way Israel can avoid the imfamous 'Sea of Blood' is to kill Yassin and the rest of the leadership.
