Al-Qaeda threatens further attacks on Israel
2004-10-20
The al-Qaida affiliated terrorist organization that claimed responsibility for the series of brutal attacks two weeks ago in Sinai published a threatening message promising to continue attacks against Israel and Israeli interests. "Message to the damned [Prime Minister Ariel] Sharon and [Defense Minister Shaul] Mofaz: We have prepared for you an army of martyrs and we will not rest until you reach the depths of hell," the message reads. "We promise the masses of the Islamic nation to continue the Jihad until we destroy the Zionist enemy," Channel 1 TV quoted the message.

#7  Thanks, Kalle. 'Twas my husband who studied Arabic, not I, so I am ignorant of these critical little nuances. Although saying, "boyhenah habibti" could have dire consequences for the IDI man in question, if her brothers find out!

#5  In light of Arafish saying one thing in English and another in Arabic, how does one say "Bring it on" in Hebrew?

I don't know the current colloquialism,(where is Elder of Zion when we need him?) but boyheh'nah (accent on the 2nd syllabubble) means "come here." I s'pose one could say more expansively, boyheh'nah habibi (friend in Arabic) if there were any uncertainly.

#2  er, isn't this the same incident that muslims blame on mossad/US/zionists/tooth fairy? MEMRI.org has a summary of how the arab world seems to uniformly blame others on this.
