Justifying Israel going in and smashing them, right?
You can take the Zionist-controlled, Israeli-centric reporting for what it is, readers.
All material the last half of the article, natch!
Gotta hide Israel's crimes in the back -- if mentioning them at all.
"Hamas threatens a new uprising; Group uses 20th anniversary to warn of intifadah" by Nidal al-Mughrab/Reuters December 16, 2007
GAZA CITY - Israel's Internal Security Minister Avi Dichter said yesterday that Hamas had got "significantly stronger" since Israel pulled troops and settlers out of Gaza in 2005, and "the only thing stopping Hamas [from taking over the West Bank] is Israel, not the Palestinian Authority."
Ismail Haniyeh, the Hamas leader in Gaza, alluding to last month's US-sponsored Mideast peace talks in Annapolis, Md.:
"[Conferences] will achieve nothing. We will never cede our land. . . . The choice of resistance and Jihad is the shortest way to liberate Palestine and return Jerusalem."
Senior Hamas official Mushir al-Masri, in another speech to the rally, warned Israel to expect many casualties if troops invade the coastal territory in an attempt to stop almost daily rocket firing by militants into Israel:
"Jews, go back, because we have already dug graves for you."
Israel carries out regular raids on Gaza and has killed dozens of militants in the past month. This week Israel's army chief said a major Israeli incursion was becoming more likely to stop militants firing rockets and mortar shells into Israel.
Just waiting for it.
Won't be a surprise to me, but bet it will be to the shit MSM!
Senior official Osama al-Muzaini said Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, who was abducted in a raid in 2006 and is being held by militants in the Gaza Strip, would be freed only in exchange for Hamas prisoners held by Israel.
In a bid to bolster Abbas, Israel has released hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in recent months, almost all of whom are aligned with his Fatah movement. Israel still holds about 10,000 Palestinian prisoners in its jails."
Yeah, the prisoners slipped in at the end there!
Case closed, readers!
