Hamas: US is Enemy of the “Islamic Nation”
The EU’s favorite terror gang, Hamas, can’t seem to make up its (alleged) mind. Do they want to risk threatening America, or don’t they?
Israel faces “earthshaking” revenge for killing Hamas founder Sheik Ahmed Yassin, the Palestinian militant group’s Syrian-based leader said Saturday.
“I say with absolute certainty that the assassination of Sheik Ahmed Yassin will cause an earthquake to the Zionists,” Khaled Mashaal told Dubai-based TV station Al-Arabiya. “Details of this (retaliation) are left to the (Hamas’) military wing, (but) they will spare no (Israeli) targets.”
Yassin, a quadriplegic, died in an Israeli missile attack Monday as he was being wheeled out of a Gaza mosque. Israel has accused him of planning attacks that have killed hundreds of Israelis.
Mashaal, who heads Hamas’ political bureau, also criticized America for vetoing a U.N. Security Council resolution Friday condemning Israel for killing Yassin, but said his group will not attack U.S. targets in the Middle East.
He warned, however, that “America’s bias” toward Israel and its occupation of Iraq were creating enemies for it throughout the Arab and Islamic worlds.
“America’s stand reflects that America is an enemy of not the Palestinian people only, but also of the (Islamic) nation,” he said.
“Hamas’ … battle is inside Palestine and against the Zionist occupation … but I cannot predict what the reaction of Arab and Islamic masses might be.”
