From the grave: Yassin calls for death to Jooos
2004-03-23
In a posthumous letter released Tuesday, Hamas founder Sheik Ahmed Yassin defended violent attacks on Israel and called for Arabs to support insurgents fighting to oust the U.S.-led occupation force in Iraq. The letter by Yassin, who was killed by an Israeli missile strike Monday, was addressed to participants at an Arab summit scheduled to convene in Tunisia next week and was posted on the Hamas Web site Tuesday. The date Yassin wrote the letter was not given, but he typically prepared messages on the eve of the annual Arab summits. In his letter, Yassin called on summit participants to support Palestinian attacks against Israel.
go get ’em, boys! I did! It’ll do ya good! Heck...it’s got me where I am today!
"Palestinian land is Arab Muslim land," Yassin wrote. "It was occupied by the force of weapons by the Zionist Jew and will only be returned with the force of weapons."
hmmm. wonder if the Israelis agree. but wait! if they don’t agree, then. they. would. obviously. kill. um. er. nevermind
Hamas advocates the destruction of the Jewish state and its replacement with an Islamic one. It has claimed responsibility for most of the 112 suicide bombings that have killed more than 450 Israelis during the current violence.
and yet, the world was outraged at the assasination. oh. cuz he wasn’t Jewish. I gotcha.
Yassin’s letter also called on Arab leaders to work for the defeat of U.S. forces from Iraq, linking the struggle there to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
I guess he’s lonely in hell; with a statement like this, sounds like he wants company.
"We urge you to offer all kinds of support to the Iraqi people so they can liberate themselves from the American occupation, because a victory for Iraq and its people is a victory for Palestine and the Palestinians," he wrote. Before the American invasion of Iraq, its leader, Saddam Hussein, was one of the Arab world’s strongest supporters of Palestinians. He regularly made lump-sum payments to surviving family members of suicide bombers and provided financial assistance for the families of bombers made homeless in Israeli reprisals.
course he did, with all the kickback money he got from the UN oil for food program

#3  I just heard tonight that Arafish swings both ways. He has lived with his bodyguard for years, and his hag . . . I mean wife lives in Paris. Supposedly it is an open secret, and some intelligence types even think he has AIDS. Maybe that explains why the Europeans and the left are enamored with him -- he can't be a monster if he's gay!

#1  "....Hamas founder Sheik Ahmed Yassin defended violent attacks on Israel and called for Arabs to support insurgents fighting to oust the U.S.-led occupation force in Iraq."

Isn't this tantamount to a Hamas declaration of war against the U.S.? I say: ONE lousey overt act against us and we blow their asses to kingdom come.
