From Reuters, with thanks to Ruth:
Hizbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah told Hamas's new leader on Saturday to consider the Lebanese guerrilla group under his command following the assassination of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin this week.In a show of unity between the two Islamist groups, Hamas new chief Khaled Meshaal also addressed thousands of Hizbollah supporters at a memorial service for his predecessor Yassin, whom Israel assassinated this week.
Nasrallah told him: "Consider us in Hizbollah, from the secretary-general and leadership down to our fighters and women, members of Hamas, and soldiers under your command."
The two Islamist groups have long been allies and keep in regular contact. Hizbollah is a staunch supporter of a more than three-year-old Palestinian uprising against Israeli occupation, and the group attacked Israeli posts in a disputed border area on Monday in response to Yassin's killing.
Mourners held pictures of the dead cleric, whose group has killed hundreds of Israelis in suicide bombings, amid a sea of Hizbollah and Palestinian flags.
"I say to our brothers in Palestine: We in Lebanon are with you. Be sure that your blood is our blood and your sheikh is our sheikh. We share the same destiny and this means that our fight is one," Nasrallah said.
Nasrallah told the gathering in Beirut's predominantly Shi'ite southern suburbs that Israelis were planning to plant explosives at unspecified targets, but gave no further details except to say:
"I'm saying that in some of these places we are going to be waiting for them."
Nasrallah, whose group fought Israel's 22-year occupation of southern Lebanon until it withdrew its forces in May 2000, said Israeli suggestions he could be next on its hit list did not scare him.
Meshaal, who lives in exile in Syria, called for similar support from an Arab summit, which was planned for early next week in Tunis but was postponed late on Saturday because of differences between Arab governments on reforms.
Speaking before the summit was postponed, he asked them to support what he called resistance in Palestine and Lebanon and to sever any relations they had with Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
Meshaal said Hamas's response to Israel's deadly missile strike against Yassin would be confined to Israel and the Palestinian territories.
"One of our priorities is to respond to Sharon's crime. We will not say what kind of response but I say that our resistance will be confined to fighting the Zionist occupation on Palestinian land," Meshaal said.
and to think that the u.s. had to veto a u.n. resolution condemning the killing. the whole planet (except for the u.s. for now) is in danger of siding with the terrorists against the israelis. that they can all sleep at night with such beliefs and thoughts is beyond the comprehension of the rational mind. indeed, the terrorists everywhere are succeeding in speeding the train wreck of human psychology descending into irrationale.
Of course, as long as they get to murder innocent people, they're ready to roll. For Umar, Amir, Hood Jihadi, Reza and all the others like them that infest this site praising these century impaired maniacs, defending their actions, this is living proof that our war in the Middle East is just.
Yassin was a great start, and I commend Israel, not condemn them. CAIR puts articles on their site expressing concern that the U.S. vetoed condemnation of Israel for taking this greaser out, yet there's never a word about the homicide bombings against Israel.
CAIR needs shut down, and moved out. They claim that they comdemn any terrorist activity whether it be by state or individual. Unfortunately, we only hear them complain when Jihadist Muslims get a dose of their own medicine. I know there are peaceful Muslims, I know a few. They have no use for CAIR. CAIR offers nothing to peaceful Islam with regard to name and reputation.
Again, we didn't start this war. But we'll surely end it. Slow but sure, the Jihad is crumbling. If anyone from CAIR is trolling this site. I know you know my name. With your rhetoric and attacks on anyone that questions you, you've gotten many people, myself included watching you're every move.
It's quite apparent that your accusations of "Islamophobia" are nothing more than a smoke screen for your "Westophobia" and "Ameriphobia".
You obviously look at people like Yassin as religious leaders, that's what was titled in the article on CAIR's website. What religion was referenced? Islam? If so, then we've come full circle about your so-called peace initiative concerns, as the world is fully aware that Hamas is a terrorist organization, whose new leader, that for now is in one piece, just called our President an "enemy of God", stating that "God has declared war on America".
CAIR, hypocritical bigots. Jihadis and their supporters: May you rest in peace, in hell's lake. Get out of America while you're able. You have no idea what you've stepped into. And you don't have the power to take control. You'd be well advised to remember these words.

Excellent post. You obviously have a history with these people. I agree with your view. We all take individual action to do what we can to combat and neutralize their evil influence.
They are indeed hypocrites, intending to undermine this country for the purpose of making it a part of the Mother of All Colonies, the Caliphate. I, for one, refuse to allow that to happen.
d.c really funny hearing you use the term bigot to describe someone else when you are one yourself
Joey, Joey, Joey.....are you throwing up again? Maybe all the ass kickings you take on here are upsetting your belly.
Now you asked us to be respectful, yet you come on here and start name calling. Have someone read my post to you, as you're obviously too stupid to understand what I wrote. Or I have a better idea, how bout you just go do one of your five prayers today and stop back later for another lesson.
By the way spineless, I never heard from your Muslim pals that you claim to have. Remember, the ones I want to ask why their so chicken shit to stand up to the radicals running rampant in their own religion? Remember?
Nice to see you're back though Joey boy. See, it's people like you that get us all laughing because you can't seem to get your spell check working, as you puke out your slanderous, and meaningless trash.
Have a nice day sissy boy. Joey Joey Joey, where oh where did your little brain go? Oh where oh where could it be?
Joeyrrhea, when you find someone to read my post to you, please let all of us know where they see any statements that could be construed as a statement made by a bigot. Umkay?
Yes and as an American and christian, we shall see them both at their funeral services.
Yes indeed we will.
