And as Israel has said, since Hamas runs Gaza, anything that Islamic Jihad says, Hamas says. Here's what the terrorist group, Islamic Jihad, said in Gaza yesterday per the Middle East Times:
So, once again, we are back to square one in the Middle East scenario. Throw out the peace agreements put together by Jimmy Carter, ignore the feeble attempts by Bill Clinton, and erase the absurdity of olive branches extended by Condoleeza Rice, this all comes down to the same fact since day one with the terrorists that inhabit Palestine - and that is that they view the nation of Israel as occupying their land and the only solution is to obliterate and destroy Israel.
And that is what Islamic Jihad threatened to do yesterday. How in the world the Israelis didn't target this gathering with F-16's is beyond me. With all indications that Israel will opt for Livni as the new Prime Minister, she will have to make the decision whether she will follow the same operating procedure of Olmert in appeasing a group like Islamic Jihad that has threatened to kill Israelis or whether she will give Islamic Jihad and Hamas a choice: either renounce your threats to Israel or face your own destruction.
My guess is she will throw on her Olmert mask and continue to spiral Israel into its most vulnerable position since the creation of the country.
"We will unleash the fires of hell if the Zionist enemy continues its crimes," said the group's military chief Abu Hamzeh after the parade by around 800 Islamic Jihad members, an AFP journalist reported.
"We're getting ready for the next round," he added, saying "the Zionist enemy will have neither peace nor security while it occupies our land."
Abu Hamzeh said his group had "hundreds of rockets" ready to launch at southern Israel.

Islamic Jihad threatens Israel with 'the fires of hell'
KHAN YUNES, Gaza Strip (AFP) The Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad on Saturday threatened to unleash "the fires of hell" on Israel, as it staged a military parade in the south of the Islamist-ruled Gaza Strip.
"We will unleash the fires of hell if the Zionist enemy continues its crimes," said the group's military chief Abu Hamzeh after the parade by around 800 Islamic Jihad members, an AFP journalist reported.
"We're getting ready for the next round," he added, saying "the Zionist enemy will have neither peace nor security while it occupies our land."
Abu Hamzeh said his group had "hundreds of rockets" ready to launch at southern Israel.
Khader Habib, a political leader in the group, said Islamic Jihad "will not rest until we have liberated all of Palestine," referring to the movement's aim to create a Palestinian state in Israel's place.
Earlier the militants staged exercises using assault rifles rocket-propelled grenades and machine guns.
The parade took place on the site of the former Jewish settlement of Gush Katif, which was evacuated when Israel withdrew settlers and forces from the Gaza Strip in August 2005.
Since June 19, Islamic Jihad has generally respected an Egyptian-brokered truce between Israel and Gaza's Islamist rulers Hamas. The truce applies to Gaza only, and Islamic Jihad said it reserves the right to respond to Israeli attacks in the West Bank.
