Target Israeli politicians: Rantisi

HAMAS political leader Abdul Aziz Rantissi, who today survived an Israeli attempt on his life in Gaza City, urged Palestinian militant groups to target Israeli politicians.
"I am asking all Palestinian militant groups to kill Israeli political leaders, because all of them are killers," he told reporters from his hospital bed in Shifa hospital.
Rantissi was lightly wounded and underwent surgery on his leg after Israeli helicopters fired several missiles on his car, killing one of his bodyguards and two bystanders, including a five-year-old girl, and wounding more than 20.
"Not a single Jew in Palestine is safe from now on and we will continue our jihad (holy war) until the end," said the 55-year-old leader of the Islamic radical group.
Rantissi blamed Palestinian prime minister Mahmud Abbas and his dovish statement at a US-convened summit in Aqaba, Jordan last week for the Israeli attack.
"The Palestinian Authority in Aqaba gave the green light to continue assassinations and the killing of our children," he charged.
"We ask Abu Mazen (Abbas' nom de guerre) to abandon his Aqaba commitments. Zionist terrorism will not stop through the power of peace," he added.
In this closing statement at the June 4 three-way summit with Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and US President George W Bush, Abbas vowed to put an end to the armed uprising against Israeli occupation.

Not all the children. His, and Arafat's are hidden, and protected.

They should have reduced the hospital he was taken to into individual molecules.

Sounds almost like a suicide note - a big bump in the roadmap, but bumps can be flattened and eventually paved over to make a good, even surface. I admit to dismay when I hear the Prez and his folks "rebuke" Israel for counter-attacks, but I hold onto the hope that he is just giving Hamas and the other organized terrorist groups enough rope to hang themselves by totally separating themselves from any semblance of cooperation with a peace plan. If he can get the Palestinian leadership at odds with the terror leadership, there will be no doubt that the terrorists need to be squashed...

And this is a CHANGE? Since when has it been different since his bomb-butt-boys started blowing themselves up
wherever they could find a crowd?

Hey at least they're moving on to legitimate military targets, finally. I suppose in terms of Pali ethics this is a step up from murdering children in their beds.

According to Yakov Basin, a leader of Minsk's Jewish community, most Belarussians pretend that Jews have never lived in their country.
In August 1995, Minsk city authorities announced plans to construct a sport field on the site of the former Jewish ghetto, where thousands of Jews were murdered during the Holocaust. In Mogilev, city officials refused to return two pre-Soviet synagogues to the community; they are occupied by sporting institutions. And in 1995 in Brest, a street was paved with marble and granite taken from a razed Jewish cemetery. -AAJFSU

So much for Bush's blood-soaked handshake with the murderer Abbas.
