Could you be a bigger bunch of punks?
Those wacky Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades are at it again. See, some U.S. diplomats are visiting the region, so those crazy kids decide to go and threaten them.
Then, of course, you know what happens. What always happens when wacky kids are having fun. Someone runs and tells mom, and she has to back off.
Just wondering - how does that qualify as a "veiled" threat, as described by the Guardian. Did anyone think that Al-Aqsa was advising diplomats not to visit because the Gaza Strip lacks sufficient nightlife?
In other news of big bad terrorists acting like sissy little nancy-boys, newly appointed Hamas uberstud Abdel Aziz Rantisi ducks the softest of softball questions, regarding Hamas' commitment to Israel's destruction. The relevant exchange:
SPIEGEL: Are you truly interested in nothing more than an end to the Israeli occupation of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank? Isn't your true goal to drive out the Jews, because you believe that the Israelis have no right to this country?
Rantissi: I want an end to the decades-long tragedy of the Palestinian people.
Who is this bozo kidding. Everyone knows what Hamas wants. No Hamas leader has ever equivocated on the subject. Heck, we know this is a softball interview, because the guy referred to Yassin's killing as a murder in the first question. And you can't give this guy a straight answer?
What a wuss.
