| Hamas: Israeli oppression will instigate third Intifada |
| 2010-02-18 |
| [Iran Press TV Latest] A Hamas spokesman, Hammad Ar-Ruqab, has warned that the Tel Aviv regime will see a third uprising from the Palestinian people, should Israeli forces continue to displace Palestinians and Judaize the occupied Palestinian land in Jerusalem (Al-Quds). "The crimes of Israeli occupation of the West Bank have become a threat to the whole Palestinian question, especially the campaign to Judaize the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem (Al-Quds)," Ar-Ruqab told hundreds of protestors who had taken to streets in Khan Younis on Tuesday to decry displacement of their fellow nationals in the West Bank. The Hamas official also warned that the constant oppression would need only a small spark to ignite a third Intifada. "We say to our people in the West Bank including Jerusalem (Al-Quds) that we are with them and will never remain, hands folded, toward their suffering. All the ongoing negotiations, and agreements signed by the Palestinian Authority do not represent the Palestinian people, and we will not be responsible for that, neither will the Palestinian people," Ar-Ruqab noted. The Hamas official called on the Palestinians in the West Bank and inside Israel to protect the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Ar-Ruqab said the responsibility to protect Al-Aqsa lies with the Palestinians, but must also be firmly supported by Arab and Muslim nations. The First Intifada started in December 1987 when the Palestinian population in the West Bank and Gaza started a mass uprising against the Israeli occupation. It was followed by the Second Intifada, also known as the Al-Aqsa Intifada. The Al-Aqsa Intifada began in September 2000, in response to then Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's visit to the Al-Aqsa Mosque. The visit was seen by many as a provocative gesture aimed at inciting the Palestinians because the mosque is considered the third holiest site for Muslims. |

| #5 What's the proper spelling of Qadaffy, after all? So much confusion in the world could be eliminated if people would just speak English like everyone else. |

| #4 The standard spelling is Intifada, Black Bart. But since it's a transliteration, your choice is as good as any. What's the proper spelling of Qadaffy, after all? |

| #3 WELL! Not my exact choice of metaphors, but Passionate. No need to reject his good intentions, just harness it and encourage everyone to contribute with an open heart. Hand out the bats (as it were) and bring a rope. I expect a large crowd. Hamas WILL need funding ( a good point). Mahboub? Where is Mahboub? Awwww...face down in the toilet bowl and his suit absolutely ruined. And eleven people and a woman too, it seems, holding him by the ankles. No funding there.( and it WAS his specialty). Moslems are good at mouth. Intifata ( did I spell that right?) your mother, Ruqbah. We ARE going to rebuild the Temple eventually, you know that, dont you? And the alAqsa is a good place for the Souvenir Stand in the Court of the Gentiles. In your face, come and get it. |

| #1 No boy. YOU will try to make a third infadata. Yet without Saddam, that may be hard to finance unless there is another Saud that dares to defy MY Fatwa. Curse you and your bretheren. You are a sham annd fake existance. Were there no money for your fight, you would not be there. You are a phony, just like your mickey mouse. You are disgusting beings, not human mind you and I have mind of eradicating the desert of you personally yet I am not very personable and do not ever plan on seeing you. You so called "palestinians" are scum of the eart as you were the gangsters rejected by all the countries and of course the democrats in the US took up your cause because they were stupid as well and believed that the "underdog" needed support. You are nothing more than the gangs in any country, if yet not more able to use the empty headed media to support your cause (colleges as well). I think you are all pieces of shit and shall the hammer fall, it shall fall on YOU. There IS NO PALISTINE. Only Israel. Besides, if you were in charge of the whole land, you still would only raise your children as bombers, drain the water table more, and blame everything on GOD. For the last time, F you "liars who think they are palestine". Jordan IS Palestine. The rest of the world is nuts. (or just too stupid to see how you used them as ho's). |
