Palestinian jihadists threaten to attack Jews around the world

Enlarging the jihad arena. "Palestinian militants threaten to attack Jews abroad," from Reuters, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:

GAZA, April 17 (Reuters) - Palestinian militants linked to President Mahmoud Abbas's increasingly fractured Fatah movement threatened on Monday to attack Jews overseas to force Israel to release Palestinian prisoners from its jails.

Two other main Palestinian militant groups, Hamas and Islamic Jihad, also said they supported violence to free more than 8,000 prisoners held by the Jewish state, but neither explicitly backed attacks on Jews outside Israel.

The call by militants of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades could heighten tension between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, which has been crippled financially by the loss of Western aid, and of tax and customs revenues frozen by Israel, after Hamas's crushing electoral win over Fatah in January. "This is an open call to all our fighters in the homeland to focus on kidnapping Israeli soldiers and civilians inside our occupied land. And if the enemy does not release our prisoners, then Zionists outside Palestine will be an easy target for our fighters," the group said in a statement.

The threat was made shortly before a Palestinian suicide bomber killed himself and six other people at a sandwich stand in Tel Aviv, an attack claimed by both Islamic Jihad and al-Aqsa.

Just another example of murderous bloodletting in an attempt to spiritually extort the "West". Perhaps Soha will transfer some cash to the Pals, allll the way from gay Paris, oui? Is this another example of a "welfare state"? Tremors of a cash addicted society and "poor" of spirit too? Geez.
Maybe Jordan did it correctly in the '70's.

The Swedish government will be pleased. Note the following item from LGF:

1. Identify all prisoners in Israeli jails linked to Islamic Jihad, al-Aqsa, and Hamas.

2. Execute said prisoners.

3. Move on to next item on Israeli national "to do" list.

And thatks to Muhammed Elmasry at the CanadianIslamiccongress.org in Canada he has increased the risks to Jewish students at his UofW place of employment , Elmasry used a TV debate show to declare that "All Israelis are valid targets for murder by suicide bombers".

The PC Government was so fearful of rioting by Muslims that Elmasry wasn't chanrge with uttering hatefull statement that incite violence agaisnt a minority group.


What the hell use is it to have Hate-Laws if they don't apply to Muslims calling for the murder of Israelis around the World, Elmasry never said only within Israel , he said "ALL ISRAELIS" are valid targets. for MURDER by suicide bombers.

He later qualified it by saying he was only repeating what Palestinians in Canada told him.

Well...that's much better, now it's only the Palestinians in Canada that will murder Israelis
in my Country.
I'll go out on a limb and take a guess that these Palestinians in canada aren't the Christian palestinians that fled the Shria-law and Islamic domination and bigotry.

How exactly are they going to figure out if somebody is Israeli or Jewish. According to Muslims, only zionists are bad and every Israeli is a zionist. What about me?

Ok, if the first attack occurs on Jews in the USA, should I start acting preemptively and start killing fallafel cart owners with draidlles (however you spell it). A bunch of senators are jewish and many congressmen, some governorns and other prominent government leaders. Is this similar to threatening murder of a government official? Why are we still giving them hundreds of millions in "humanitarian" aid? So they can use that money to kill the very same people who approved the financing. Surely, those congressmen and senators would understand the mistake of their ways if they get killed by the same people they are helping, financed by the money they have provided.

One of the reasons why the Palestinian Jihadist are planning attacking Jews around the world is the West Bank separation barrier wall.It has been alot harder for them to strike into Israel and also the Muslim Dispora,the Muslim immigration into Europe,South,Central and North America enable them to place cells to attack Jewish targets outside of Israel.

Please Western countries take a hard line with people who threaten to kill, people who do kill and cretinous idiots who riot violently to gain their ends.Execution and deportation has to start REALLY soon and this has to be expedited in the courts, so that cases do not linger on for ages. Control needs to be taken now.
I am all in favour of people being defended in court by lawyers but some are extremists themselves and need to be deported/exported with their clients.
