Hamas threatens attacks on U.S. targets in Middle East

The Hamas/Fatah split is, surprise of surprises, all the fault of the U.S. "Hamas threatens attacks on U.S.: Terrorist warns 'Middle East is full of American targets,'" by Aaron Klein for WorldNetDaily.com:

TEL AVIV – Members of Hamas are debating whether to carry out attacks against the United States and may hit American targets if the U.S. continues to support Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' call for new elections, Hamas leaders told WND in a series of interviews.

"There is no doubt that Abu Mazen (Abbas) was encouraged to decide early elections after receiving American promises to support him politically and military," Abu Abdullah, a leader of Hamas' Izzedine al-Qassam Martyrs Brigades, the group's declared "resistance" department, told WND.

The terror leader accused the U.S. of instigating a Palestinian civil war.

"Here the Americans did not support the elections, they actually gave their support and their encouragement to a Palestinian civil war. It is our duty to prove to the Americans that they chose the wrong policy exactly like it is the case in Iraq," said Abu Abdullah, considered one of the most important operational members of Hamas' so-called military wing.

Abu Abdullah told WND Hamas has not yet decided to attack the U.S., "but one cannot guarantee that this will be the situation if the conspiracy of chasing our government succeeds."

Asked which U.S. targets Hamas would hit, Abu Abdullah replied, "Do you think that I can give you an answer to this question? I can say that the Middle East is full of American targets and the world has had the occasion to learn what are the weapons of the anti-American forces in the region."

In a move widely seen as an attempt to dismantle the Hamas-led government, Abbas' this past weekend called for new Palestinian elections, prompting violent clashes in the Gaza Strip between Hamas and Abbas' Fatah party.

Hamas, which won parliamentary elections in January, has threatened to boycott the proposed new elections, calling them "illegitimate."

Hamas-Fatah clashes in Gaza have killed at least 16 Palestinians the past five days.

According to multiple reports, the U.S. has been arming and training Fatah militants to bolster them in clashes against Hamas.

A number of Hamas members, including Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, have claimed in recent days Abbas' call for new elections was orchestrated with the U.S.

Would now be a good time to start an email campaign to Mr. Abbas, telling him how much we all appreciate his efforts in our behalf?

And cc them to Fatah, of course...

No one to my my knowledge has ever underestimated the stupidity of a muslim.

To Hamas I say: bring it.

When doesn't the USA get the blame?

Old song, different dance. If these cowards would put on some uniforms we could rid the world of their stench once and for all, but obviously, the Islamic terrorists of the world know that rule #1 is to hide behind anything they can, especially shadows.

Omvi - I think the main trait of a Muslim is not so much stupidity (although an argument can be made there) but treachery. They are Olympic Gold Medalists at that every time. File that under "taqiyaa" - "War is deceit" and since "life is war" - life is deceit. It must suck to be a Muslim or worse, to live in a Muslim land.

Robert - is there gonna be a prize for the 10,000,000th visitor???

Sounds like a perfect opportunity to invade Palestine and put an end to all their anti-American/Israel crap!!! Hamas just issued a war threat on us- nail the pricks http://sacredscoop.com

OT UNBELIEVEABLE!

Al Qaeda has sent a message to leaders of the Democratic party that credit for the defeat of congressional Republicans belongs to the terrorists.

http://blogs.abcnews.com/theblotter/2006/12/al_qaeda_sends_.html

In a portion of the tape from al Qaeda No. 2 man, Ayman al Zawahri, made available only today, Zawahri says he has two messages for American Democrats.

"The first is that you aren't the ones who won the midterm elections, nor are the Republicans the ones who lost. Rather, the Mujahideen -- the Muslim Ummah's vanguard in Afghanistan and Iraq -- are the ones who won, and the American forces and their Crusader allies are the ones who lost," Zawahri said, according to a full transcript obtained by ABC News.

"And if you don't refrain from the foolish American policy of backing Israel, occupying the lands of Islam and stealing the treasures of the Muslims, then await the same fate," he said.

Sorry. Hamas hides behind women:

Hamas threatens attacks on U.S. targets in Middle East


AGAIN???

Hamas seems to have a propensity for making enemies. Is it not enough for them to deal with the PLO? Now they want to take on the US. Where will they find the time to kill some Jews at that rate?

Kill all of Hamas' leadership-no exceptions, no mercy.

"Kill all of Hamas' leadership-no exceptions, no mercy."

"Spoken like a true troll".


I was unaware that this statement puts me in the same boat as Naseem or any of the other trolls. Somehow, I doubt she would agree with this statement.

You said it!

Mother Ecclesiastica - we don't need to go over there to accomplish your aim. The Israeil's could do it themselves:

Israel should simply make it very clear that if attacks against Israel don't stop by such and such a date, it will be considered an act of war (which it obviously is), and that Israel will begin to implement a policy of population transfer, as outlined in that link.
