Senior Hamas official says Rantisi named acting leader

[Gimel]

Abdel Aziz Rantisi, a Hamas hardliner, has been named acting leader of the group in Gaza, a spokesman said Tuesday.

Rantisi will temporarily take over the tasks of Hamas founder Sheik Ahmed Yassin, who was assassinated by Israel on Monday, said Ismail Hanieh, a senior official in the Islamic militant group.

Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz said Tuesday that other Hamas leaders would be targeted now that Israel has assassinated Yassin. "If we will continue, in a determined way, with our strikes against Hamas and other terror groups, with the means I outlined, including action against those leaders, we will bring more security to Israeli citizens," he said.

Defense chiefs have decided to try to kill the entire Hamas leadership, security sources said Tuesday, a day after Israel assassinated the sheikh.

They need to hold the door. Others may follow.

3. Like

Sharon?

[Gimel]

4. Oh, he's still around

You can blame everything on him. He has a Jewish soul.

P.S. I meant the face in the picture of the sig line. It's so immediate.

7. Dupe post, sorry.

[bluesoul]

9. I'm sure

you're gloating about it.

[Muddleoftheroad]

10. If he leads Hamas

Then that is his choice unless he immediately moves toward peace with the group.

[bluesoul]

11. You mean

like Sharon "Man of peace" type of peace?

[Gimel]

13. He is unabashed terrorist

and enjoys sending little children to be martyrs. I'm sure he will fill Yassin's shoes (err grave) rather well.

[bluesoul]

14. Who

Sharon? Finally we agree...

[Gimel]

15. Rantisi

:nuke:

[bluesoul]

16. Hopefully

that doesn't happen what your picture illustrates. Cause then no one will be left alive...

But everyday I find myself amazed by what some so called progressives like: Nuking and killing

[Gimel]

17. You seem to

want the same for those you despise. So look in the mirror.

[bluesoul]

18. I don't despise

any nation (only certain individuals) So I don't have to look in the mirror...

[Gimel]

19. When did I say

that I despise a nation? I despise people who are murderers of innocent children, Israeli and Palestinian. That describes Rantisi. I don't advocate using nukes, so you can rest your mind a bit on that score.

20. are you like bush, can you see his soul?

is it jewish?

Should all non jewish souls fear american love & rockets

[Gimel]

22. Ask your rabbi

or whomever you refer personal questions to.

[JohnLocke]

12. What do you mean?

23. Rantisi makes Yassin look good

Given that Ahmed Yassin was one of the very most despicable human beings on the planet, that's saying something. Rantisi is a hardliner, by Hamas standards. That means no ceasefires, no negotiations, no nothing until either the Jewish people or Hamas is destroyed. We'll see which comes first.

[Muddleoftheroad]

24. And the other Hamas leader is based in Syria

That wouldn't stop me and it shouldn't stop Israel.
