Text of "military communique" issued by Izz-al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the "sons of martyr and commander-in-chief Shaykh Salah Shihadah"; dated 4 August; carried by Izz-al-Din al-Qassam Brigades web site on 4 August
"It is not ye who slew them; it was Allah : When thou threwest a handful of dust, it was not thy act but Allah 's." [Koranic verse]
Response number two of a long series of responses.
O masses of our mujahid Palestinian people,
O Arab and Islamic nation,
With God's grace, and thanks to his strength, Izz-al-Din Al-Qassam Brigades declares the responsibility of the sons of Shaykh Salah Shihadah for the jihadist martyrdom-seeking operation in the usurped city of Haifa at 0800 [0500 gmt] today, Sunday, 4 August. One of our martyrdom-seeking men, whose name we will hold back for now, got on a Zionist usurpers' bus that was packed with soldiers. He blew up his pure body right in their midst.
As it sends its second response to the killing of the martyrs of Gaza - first and foremost among whom are Shaykh Salah Shihadah and the assistant commander Zahir Nassar - Izz-al-Din al-Qassam Brigades declares that today's operation is in response to the UN report. The brigades also states that the Israeli acts of belligerency - such as arrests and the demolition of the homes of the martyrs - will only escalate martyrdom-seeking operations and prompt it to strike everywhere.
Zionist invaders: If any of you wants to survive, he should return to the place whence he came. Then we will have no need for your blood and remains. We have decided to target you everywhere: at your universities, schools, establishments, markets, assembly centres and residential buildings. Your army has left us no choice but to bomb you in every place where you are present. You have closed our universities, prevented our students from sitting for their exams, closed our institutions, destroyed our hospitals and killed our old people and children. Even embryos died at your roadblocks. You have also targeted our residential buildings. You have committed every possible crime against us. You have left us no choice but to treat you in the way you treat us. Your arch-terrorist, Sharon, has promised you security. However, the number of people killed during his term has been the largest since your terrorist state was established.
O struggling masses of our Palestinian people,
Our Arab and Islamic nation,
We pledge to Allah and to you to continue the march until Allah blesses us with either victory or martyrdom. We shall not retreat a bit. We have made this pledge to our commander Abu-Mustafa [Salah Shihadah] to remain loyal to the pure blood of the martyrs until Palestine is restored to its legitimate owners.
We also ask you to wait for our coming response, with which Allah will disgrace the faces of Zionists and soothes the hearts of the believers.
It is jihad until victory or martyrdom.

They seem to be asking for it. Time for the West to act in such a way that this threat is neutralized for good.
I'm weary of watching Jews being slaughtered by the Death Cult.
The measured response that Israel has been delivering will never succeed in ending the terror attacks.
Only a massive slaughter of Palestinians to send a message will stop it.
Nixon did it in December of 1972 over North Vietnam.
Roosevelt did it over Germany in 1943-1945.
And Truman delivered the coup de grace over Japan in August 1945.
What we neen now, more than ever, is a leader of historic caliber.
Within 10 years after those instances, the nations attacked became peaceful and prosperous.

Text of statement by Izz-al-Din al-Qassam Brigades dated 4 August; carried by Izz-al-Din al-Qassam Brigades web site on 4 August
It is not ye who slew them; it was Allah : when thou threwest a handful of dust, it was not thy act but Allah 's. [Koranic verse]
O our mujahidin Palestinian people, O our Arab and Islamic nations:
Izz-al-Din al-Qassam Brigades announces the martyrdom of one of its sons, Muhammad Yahya Nusayyu, 22, from Al-Shati Camp.
At 0600 [local time] today, Sunday, 4 August 2002, our martyr headed towards the sea of Gaza and arrived at the so-called Dugit settlement, which is built on our occupied land in the north of the Gaza Strip. There he clashed with the Zionist soldiers guarding the fence of the settlement and was martyred in battle.
While announcing the death of one martyr after another, Izz-al-Din al-Qassam Brigades stresses that our rights in Palestine will not be returned without the option of jihad and resistance. They are the only way to regain our usurped rights and land.
It is jihad until victory or martyrdom.
Continueing evidence that the Jihadists do not want a peacefull Palistinian state in the West Bank and Gaza, unless of course one considers the West Bank to extend all the way to the sea. Haifa is a seaport on the Med, and it's not in Gaza either.
Hamas's military wing is "resistance"? It is a terrorist org that targets civilians.
It is fighting the very existance of Israel, hence the comment about "usurped" Haifa. Haifa is possible the most integrated city as the local Zionist official repeatedly called upon the local Arabs to stay during the Israeli War of Independence.
