Hamas leader Al-Ghoul killed

The aptly named Al-Ghoul, who helped Hamas murder scores of civilians, has been killed by Israeli forces. From Reuters, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:

GAZA (Reuters) - Israel has killed a top leader of the Hamas militant group and another gunman in an airstrike on their car in Gaza, days before a key parliamentary vote on Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's Gaza pullout plan.

Medics and witnesses said a missile from an Israeli drone slammed into the vehicle on Thursday and killed Adnan al-Ghoul, a senior Hamas leader and master bombmaker for the Islamic militant group who has been on Israel's most wanted list for over a decade....

Ghoul was Hamas's top engineer who manufactured explosive devices and weapons that were used in dozens of attacks against Israelis, Palestinian sources said.

The sources said he was known as "the father of the Qassam rocket", referring to the type of rocket Gaza militants have fired frequently into Israel during the past few months. Two Israeli toddlers were killed in such a rocket strike last month.

Brilliant!

The Israeli intelligence-gathering is awesome.

Why can't the combined resources of the CIA, MI5, FBI and KGB achieve results like this?

Posted by: witness [TypeKey Profile Page] at October 22, 2004 2:55 PM

Could anyone imagine, even by stretching their imagination beyond the pain barrier, what a "palestinian state" would look like?

Try to picture a Monty Python spoof of the middles ages during the Black Death, decaying rubble-strewn streets with raw sewage running down the middle,with black-toothed wretches in rags collecting dung for fuel. No electricity, cars, schools hospitals except those provided for by gullible eu/un "humanitarians", because the halfwit natives are far too busy thronging the streets day in day out marching up and down chanting "death to this or that" to actually do any work and provide for themselves.

Er, hang on a minute, I think they're there already.

Posted by: saoirse [TypeKey Profile Page] at October 22, 2004 3:10 PM

While I share all your sentiments concerning the death of al-Ghoul, keep in mind the following:

1. The IDF's approach is essentially piecemeal: Isolate the terrorists and hit them while avoiding unnecessary civilian casualties.

2. While this approach has successfully decreased terrorism, it hasn't stopped it entirely.

In short, the IDF and its allies may have to do something more "persuasive" to stop jihadism entirely.

Remember, we could not defeat the Nazis without attacking Germany.

We could not defeat the Japanese without attacking Japan (either through a massive invasion of the Home Islands or through Hiroshima and Nagasaki)

We could not defeat the Soviets without "attacking" Moscow (diplomatically and economically; Gorbachev's policies not only were a reaction to the ineffeciency of Marxism but to Reagan's idea of space-based missle defense that bankrupted the Soviet military-industrial complex).

We will not defeat jihadism without attacking Mecca -- diplomatically, economically, ideologically and, if necessary, militarily.

TOPICAL HUMOR FOR ALL JW FANS:

"We Shouldn't Rest Until All Palestinians Have Been Pushed Into the Sea" by Frank J. at www.imao.us (September 2004)

I probably should be talking about the Republican National Convention right now, but anyone who isn't a 'tard already knows to vote Republican (actually there's a great slogan: "Only 'tards vote for Democrats!"). Instead, what's concerning me is hearing about more murder of Israelis and Palestinians celebrating it.

The Palestinian terrorists say they won't stop until all Jews have been pushed into the sea. Of course, that will never happen. That means they'll be murderous dumbasses forever.

Or does it?

Let's push all the Palestinians into the sea. See how they like it. If we Americans get together with the Israelis, we'll easily be able to push the Palestinians anywhere we want.

Now some may say they have problems with this plan. They may not want to get sand into their shoes. This can be solved by having a nice pier to push the Palestinians off of so you don't have to walk on the beach. Also, there can be plenty of signs saying "Push Palestinians this Way" that point to the pier.

Others may wonder how in the world could we be sure we pushed all Palestinians into the sea. Easy. After we push each Palestinian into the sea, we give him a "I was pushed into the sea" card. Then, he can show that card to keep from being pushed into the sea again. No claiming you lost the card, though; into the sea you go!

It will be hard work pushing Palestinians into the sea, but they should learn some important lessons from it. One, they will find that being pushed into the sea is not a nice thing. It is wet and salty. Second, they'll know for sure that we're bigger than them and we can push them around. So that's why this must be completed. Yes, it will be tempting to say, "I think we've pushed enough Palestinians into the sea," but we must not rest until all Palestinians have been pushed into the sea.

"Our reply will be very severe and we will continue our resistance," Hamas leader Ismail Haniya told crowds.

The crowds. Those un-employed worthless fucks standing around listening to the fucking Hamas asshole and agreeing with him. This is where many big massive bombs needs to go. Kill all these fuckers. Destroy this scourge Hamas and destroy this worthless piece of shit, non-production waste of a society called Palistine. What a shithole. Flush the whole fucking country. Plow it under and build some hotels and casinos or something that real humans can actually use. What a waste of land with useless palistinians taking up space on it.


Posted by: cross [TypeKey Profile Page] at October 22, 2004 3:18 PM

At least in Iraq there is a chance that they might become a democractic type of a society but Palistine is more fucked up than Iraq.

This inbred hatred for everything is just not working for them or anyone else. Let's just put an end to all the bickering and misery now and just wipe Palistine out of existance. Who's going to miss this lovely vacation destination of Palistine? No one.

Let's rid the world this mediteraian eyesore. After the dust settles, let's rebuild it into a cool place to visit and have fun. Right now it useless to anyone except hatemongers, killers, muslim assholes, it's a poverty ridden hellhole. Time to clean it up.

Posted by: cross [TypeKey Profile Page] at October 22, 2004 3:40 PM

Sorry, whenever I view the photos of these Palestinians with their RPG's and AK's and the look of hatred on their faces I just want to say kill every last one of them. Militants, civilians, they work hand in hand and should be fair game.

The world wastes too much precious time and resources keeping the lid on these and other Arabs.

They contribute nothing to the world. They are a drag on the rest of the good people of the world.

They have taken up too much of everyones attention, diverting energy away from the rest of us to be able to fully enjoy life because of this increased threat.

I don't like it and don't think we should be forced to put up with it anymore. We can do it, we should start with Palestine and wipe it out and then wipe out any other muslim country that steps up to do something about it. To hell with them.

Posted by: cross [TypeKey Profile Page] at October 22, 2004 4:18 PM

I like your Idea of carpet bombing is the only way to win if there is not a clear winner it will go on and on??


We wil forgive ourselves for what the Terrorist make us do!! Just like our Grandparents forgave themselves for Falt-en Germany!! and Japan!!

Lets look at the deaths 50,000,000 in the world and 400,000 Americans ?

The difference in this war and the cold war is the Russians loved Life and what we Fight now does not?

It is sad that they teach hate but they do??

Qur’an 8:12 “Your Lord inspired the angels with the message: ‘I will terrorize the unbelievers. Therefore smite them on their necks and every joint and incapacitate them. Strike off their heads and cut off each of their fingers and toes.”

who are the unbeliever to them their book says all who are non mulsums??

Tabari VIII:96 “A raiding party led by Zayd set out against Umm in Ramadan. During it, Umm suffered a cruel death. Zyad tied her legs with rope and then tied her between two camels until they split her in two. She was a very old woman. Then they brought Umm’s daughter and Abdallah to the Messenger. Umm’s daughter belonged to Salamah who had captured her. Muhammad asked Salamah for her, and Salamah gave her to him.”

they have no problems with killing even the old women for what they want?

Tabari VII:64/Ishaq:307 “The Messenger of Allah gave orders concerning the contents of the camp which the people had collected, and it was all brought together. Among the Muslims, however, there was a difference of opinion concerning it. Those who had collected it said, ‘It is ours. Muhammad promised every man that he could keep the booty he took.’ Those who were fighting said, ‘If it had not been for us, you would not have taken it. We distracted the enemy from you so that you could take what you took.’ Those who were guarding the Prophet for fear the enemy would attack him said, ‘By Allah, you have no better right to it than we have. We wanted to kill the enemy when Allah gave us the opportunity and made them turn their backs, and we wanted to take property when there was no one to protect it; but we were afraid that the Meccans might attack the Prophet. We protected him so you have no better right to it than we have.’ When we quarreled about the booty we became very bad tempered. So Allah removed it from us and handed it over to His Messenger.”


YEA LOOK AT HOW THEY STEAL BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO BUILD ON THEIR OWN?

Those who were fighting said, ‘If it had not been for us, you would not have taken it. We distracted the enemy from you so that you could take what you took.’

THIS PART IS THE palis for the rest of the arab world so we don't see their real goal??


Tabari VII:65 “Allah’s Messenger came back to Medina, bringing with him the booty which had been taken from the polytheists.... There were forty-four captives in the Messenger of Allah’s possession. There was a similar number of dead.”

remember medina was won in war through lies??

THE POLY WOULD BE TODAY THE LIBS???

Bukhari:V5B59N512 “The captives of Khaybar were divided among the Muslims. Then the Messenger began taking the homes and property that were closest to him.”
Tabari VIII:116/Ishaq:511 “So Muhammad began seizing their herds and their property bit by bit. He conquered home by home. The Messenger took some of its people captive, including Safiyah and her two cousins. The Prophet chose Safiyah for himself.”


THIEF AND PREVERT??

Tabari VIII:130 “The Prophet conquered Khaybar by force after fighting. Khaybar was something that Allah gave as booty to His Messenger. He took one-fifth of it and divided the remainder among the Muslims.”

THEY TEACH WAR!!

WAR IT MUST BE??

Bukhari:V4B53N374 “The Prophet said, ‘I give to the Quraysh so that they will desire Islam, for they are nearer to their life of Ignorance and it is not strong in their hearts.’”

WHAT THE ARAB MONEY HAS DONE TO THE UN???

Tabari IX:75 “He who holds fast to his religion, Judaism or Christianity, is not to be tempted from it. It is incumbent on them to pay the jizyah protection tax. For every adult, male or female, free or slave, one full denarius, or its value in al-ma’afir [fine cloth]. He who pays that to the Messenger has the protection of Allah and His Messenger, and he who holds back from it is the enemy of Allah and His Messenger.”


NOW THIS HAS TO CONFUSS THE HELL OUT OF THEM ??
BECAUSE THEY ARE THE POOR ONES OR ARE THEY??

lOOK AT ALL THE MONEY WE PAY FOR PEACE BY WHAT KIND OF PEACE IS THIS THEY SEND THEIR MONSTERS TO KILL US AND THEN CRY IF ONLY WE HAD MORE MONEY BECAUSE WE ARE SO POOR??

YEA LOOK AT WHAT DOES ARAFAT HAVE 500,000,000 AND A HOUSE IN PARIS? LOOK AT WHAT SADDAM HAD AND WHAT WAS IT NOW UP TO 11,000,000,000 FROM THE UN OIL FOR FOOD??

UBL YEA POOR LET'S LOOK LAST TIME I LOOKED WAS SOMETING LIKE 80,000,000 NOT REAL POOR BUY MONEY TO BUY PEOPLE IN HIGH PLACES??


THE WORLD IS BEING SCREWED??? BY A DEAD CON MONSTER!!

Al- Ghoul, just in time for Halloween. Honestly if the muslims believe that he went to "paradise" , then why are they so P.O.? Didn't they say that they all want to be martyrs? I don't remember who said it but one of my favorite quotes from a member of our military was "This is a perfect war, they want to die and we want to kill them."

Posted by: Carolyn2 [TypeKey Profile Page] at October 22, 2004 5:52 PM

That's the way I see it, what's the problem? They get to be martyrs and go to Allah, the soldiers get some target practice. It's totally win win.
