[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Last week’s Jerusalem bus bombing carried out by member of Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, shows the Islamist movement’s "determination" to continue resisting Israel, the head of the Paleostinian group in Gazoo said on Thursday.
Addressing thousands of supporters in the Gazoo Strip, Ismail Haniya praised the "heroic action" of Abdel Hamid Abu Sorur, who killed himself and maimed 20 people in the April 18 attack.
Haniya said the bombing "shows that Hamas and the sons of Hamas are committed to resistance and determined to pursue the intifada (uprising)".
"We say to the Zionist occupier that our people can no longer stand the blockade" which Israel imposed on Gazoo in 2006.
| ...and Egypt completed when President al Sisi took office in what was not quite a military coup. |
"It is our right to have a port and an airport," in Gazoo, he said.
| As it is my right to have the figure and energy I had at twenty-five. |
Israeli police said that a Hamas holy warrior carried out the bus attack.
A wave of violence across Israel, the occupied West Bank, and Jerusalem has killed 203 Paleostinians and 28 Israelis since October.
| The wave clearly prefers dead Muslims, many of who are Palestinians rather than Arab Israelis. But such is Allah's will. |
Most of the Paleostinians killed were carrying out knife, gun or car-ramming attacks, Israeli authorities say. |
