HORRIFYING STATEMENT ON HAMAS MILITARY WING WEB SITES
By Jeremy Reynalds (01/27/06)
"We will Continue Fighting Zionists until either the Last Drop of our Blood or the End of Zionist Occupation. It is Jihad to Victory or Martyrdom."
A recent headline on a major news site read, "Hamas victory legitimizes party in Palestine."
But does the installation into power of a radical Islamic terrorist organization with an avowed agenda of extinguishing Israel legitimize the group? Many people say "no."
While some people may say that Hamas will change, a look at its cyber home would seem to indicate otherwise. The web site is still on line for all to see, touting radical Islamic rhetoric. With such an election shocker, if there was an impending change of philosophy, it would seem that now would be the time to make it clear.
Here are some examples from past and present web sites of the Al Qassam Brigades – the military wing of the Hamas.
A Sept. 27 2005 statement on www.alqassam.com read in part, "The ‘Prisoners Liberation Unit' in Ezzedeen Al-Qassam Brigades announced its responsibility for kidnaping the Israeli General Security Service (Shin Bet) Agent Nuriel Sasson. He was a settler in occupied Al-Quds ... The ‘Prisoners Liberation Unit' kidnaped the 50-years old agent ... The Unit had planned to hold the agent and exchange him for Palestinian prisoners. But in light of the occupations campaign of massive arbitrary arrests, the Unit decided to kill the agent."
The statement continued. "Ezzedeen Al-Qassam Brigades affirms that this is the first step towards liberating the Palestinian prisoners from occupation jails. And Al-Qassam Brigades stress the following points.
"To our prisoners, we state our determination to release all prisoners; and "God-willing" this operation is only a first step. We gave the enemy a chance to release the Palestinian prisoners during the cease fire. However, they maintained their arrogance and arrested more Palestinians. We hold the occupation's government headed by the war criminal Sharon for the developments (responsible) regarding the kidnaping operations ... Finally, the enemy should prepare for a long battle where, "God-willing" they will pay a heavy price. The Zionists settlers and soldiers will not rest or feel secure on our occupied land till the full restoration of Palestinian rights."
A statement issued in late 2004 on www.alqassam.com read in part, "By the support and grace of Allah, the enemy admitted today that there were six Zionists injured two of them were in a serious condition by the mortar that was fired by the hands of the Qassamy Soldiers ... "
Many statements on the Al Qassam site end with this statement. "We will continue fighting Zionists until either the last drop of our blood or the end of Zionist occupation. It is Jihad to Victory or Martyrdom."
However, some of the most chilling statements from Hamas were found on a now defunct Al Qassam site back in 2002. It was headlined "A call for donation from Martyr Izz el-Deen el-Qassam Phalanxes" and addressed to "Muslim brothers all over the world."
Because of its ongoing anti-Semitism, there is no reason to believe the Hamas leadership feel any different about Israel, or the Jews than they did back in 2002. As such I have reproduced the chilling call for donations mostly in entirety.
It reads,
"At the time that the land of ‘Al-Isra' and Al-Mi'raj (Prophet's miraculous Night Journey to Jerusalem and Ascension to the heavens), land of Jihad and determination is being exposed to the most cruel massacres with the hands of the occupying Zionists, the vilest and most low-down creatures, supported by weapons and money from all the plotters against the case of all Muslims and Arabs: Palestine.
"Martyr Izz el-Deen el-Qassam Phalanxes, your own defending phalanxes, the military wing of Hamas movement in Palestine, is calling upon you to donate with what you can to assist the cause of Jihad and resistance until the occupation is eliminated and every span of the Muslim Palestine is liberated.
"While Martyr Izz el-Deen el-Qassam Phalanxes is calling upon you for donation, we put between your hands some of the difficulties that your mujahideen brothers are facing to get the equipments and logistics.
"The price of Kalashnicov bullet is $3 and the price of the Kalashnicov gun itself now is $2,000 and it was $3,500 couple of months ago, and do you know that the the price of R-B-G is $12,000 and the price of T.N.T that's used by your mujahideen brothers is $100 a kilo, also Martyr Izz el-Deen el-Qassam Phalanxes now manufactures Al-Qassam land-to-land missiles in different sizes and also the anti-shields Al-Banna bomber, Martyr Izz el-Deen el-Qassam Phalanxes also supervises the development of fighting, defensive and attacking weapons and other much projects mustn't be elaborated for confidentiality purposes.
"Martyr Izz el-Deen el-Qassam Phalanxes after getting you informed of what Palestine is facing, we call upon all Muslims all over the world to give a hand to their mujahideen brothers in Palestine who sacrifice their bloods and persons for your dignity and guard the front line to defend the Arab and Muslim Ummah.
"With Allah's support, Martyr Izz el-Deen el-Qassam Phalanxes managed, through its Mujahedeen operations, to kill 65 percent of what has been killed of Zionists since the start of the intifada (uprise) of Al-Aqsa.
"My Mujahideen brothers all over the world, Now you can equip a mujahid, Now you can contribute to building a strong Islamic army. Thousands and thousands of mujahid youth in Palestine long for carrying any kind of weapons to defend the Ummah's dignity, but no one is giving a hand. Now you can contribute in providing weapons to the mujahideen whose ammunition run out while facing the Zionists. Hundreds of men sold the jewelry of their wives and sisters to equip as many fighters as possible to defend your honor and dignity.
"My mujahideen brothers ... you'll have no excuse in front of Allah, So contribute with what you can. Martyr Izz el-Deen el-Qassam Phalanxes is calling upon the righteous people from the Arab and Muslim Ummah to collect donations in Mosques, and from those who are financially able to donate, then send these donations to the mujahideen in Palestine. Dear donator brother, send us at the e-mail available at Martyr Izz el-Deen el-Qassam Phalanxes's web site and send us a fake name and the amount that you want to donate and we will secure handing this money to the mujahideen. And may Allah bless you
"Your brothers, Martyr Izz el-Deen el-Qassam Phalanxes. The military wing of Hamas movement- Palestine."
