Mahmoud Zahar

[pogo101]

Soon to be overheard in Hamas HQ:

"No, no. You be chief. Hamas needs you now in this time of trouble."

"No, please, I insist. You've planned more bombings than I, praise Allah. It is your right. Your duty!"

"No, YOU be chief!"

"NO, YOU!"

Pretty good "BEFORE" picture...let's see what he looks like a couple weeks from now. (Hint: Alpo)

I'm surprised he hasn't be labelled a moderate yet. Guess it's time to change my tag (formerly "Waiting for Hamas to announce the name of the IDF's next target..."), though.

Mahmoud al-Zahar

Israel has also targeted, but failed to kill Dr. Mahmoud al-Zahar. (Sept. 10, 2003.) Before the attack on al-Zahar, he was quoted in the New York Times praising the March 2002 Passover attacks against Israel:

“Forty were killed and 200 injured — in just two operations,”al-Zahar said with a smile.” (April 4, 2002.)

Al-Zahar once explained to the BBC that “all Israelis are militants ... [there are] no civilian Israelis.” (Oct 3, 2001)

Well it's a good thing for Dr. Mahmoud Zahar that his appointment was kept secret : )

[thoughtomator]

Wonder what he looks like with his brains splattered on the pavement.

[Slings and Arrows]

What's the over/under on the day of his "early retirement?"

[Agnes Heep]

Hopefully we won't have long to wonder what's behind that furrowed brow.

[Bonaparte]

...said Dr. Zahar, "Hamas cannot be defeated. Hamas cannot be broken."

Same thing Hitler said about his "thousand year Reich."

[Slings and Arrows]

Shhhh! It's a secret!

[RightWhale]

If Hamas violence ends now, the new leader will be okay.

[SeeRushToldU_So]

Mahmoud Zahar.........Next!

[vp_cal]

Did anyone tell him he has just been chosen to have his head ventilated....err , I mean to be the leader?

[DoughtyOne]

New head of Hamas in Israel's sights

My first inclination was to say, "Pull the trigger!" Upon further thought I say this. Pull that trigger within 24 hours of the first act of terrorism that takes place under his command.

Cause and effect is a powerful motivational force.

The appointment of Dr Mahmoud Zahar, 53, was kept secret

LOL So naturally everybody knows.

[Pan_Yan]

[goldstategop]

We already know his identity? Told y'all a "secret" doesn't stay a secret for long in the Middle East, lol. This isn't the kind of job any normal person wants, unless one plans to dodge missles the rest of their life and seek a rendezvous with 72 virgins in the afterlife!

[AsYouAre]

As someone said on a thread yesterday, his nickname will now be "Short Straw".
