Hamas Unsatisfied with Terrorizing Israel, Threatens United States as Well
Today is a good day to focus our attention on the Middle East. We know how much they love attention over there. Why all the attention on some silly old men getting silly young men and women to blow themselves up? Well, now they might be taking aim at the United States of America. It seems as though terrorizing the Israelis isn't enough for Hamas, and now they're looking for other scapegoats to blame for their current situation. Notably, that situation is that they are no better off now than they were when they started attacking Israelis back in 2000. Here's just a small quote from the MSNBC article, "Israel to target all Hamas leadership"...
Quote:
For the first time, Hamas also threatened the United States, saying its backing of Israel made the assassination possible.
“The Zionists didn’t carry out their operation without getting the consent of the terrorist American administration and it [the United States] must take responsibility for this crime,” Hamas said in a statement. “All the Muslims of the world will be honored to join in on the retaliation for this crime.”
Remarkably, Hamas considers it a crime to assassinate their own leaders, but an honor to kill their enemy's leaders. The UN condemned this crime stating that it went against International Law of course, but when is the last time the UN could do anything but "suggest" and "condemn"? Perhaps the UN could do something about protecting the civilians in Israel, or maybe "suggest" that something be done to protect them. Plenty of other deaths have been marked today in the Middle East, including several police in Iraq, and attacks against Pakistani troops attempting to stamp out Al-Qaida operatives. Doesn't all of this make you want to visit the Middle East for your summer vacation? ¶ 6:11 PM
