Hamas Calls for Help

• Views: 935

On the very day that they claim responsibility for two genocidal bombings against innocent Israelis waiting at a bus stop and eating in a restaurant, Hamas calls on the Arab world for help.

In an unusual step, Hamas yesterday issued a call for help to the Arab world, citing Israel’s assassination attempt on Sheikh Ahmed Yassin’s life and the European Union’s inclusion of Hamas on its list of terror groups as the reasons.

The organization asked for assistance in its struggle against pressure exerted by Israel and by the West at large, as exemplified by the European Union’s recent decision to place Hamas’ political wing on its list of terror organizations.

A Hamas circular distributed in the Gaza Strip and on the Internet declared that, “in light of the continuing acts of massacre and aggression, the effort to assassinate Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, the expansion of the war against Hamas, and its inclusion on the terror organization list, we call on the Islamic Arab world to provide help.”

The circular called on Arab leaders to denounce Israel’s assassination policy, and to take diplomatic steps to alter the EU decision. Hamas also asked religious authorities to issue Islamic rulings compatible with the organization’s interests.

Hamas has designated this Friday as a “day of rage” in which rallies are to be staged around the Arab world to protest Israel’s assassination policy.
