I swear, if I EVER see one more dollar of American aid go to Gaza, which means it goes to the ruling party there, Hamas, well...I'm gonna lose it, seriously. Even the piece of shit terror organization of the Muslim Brotherhood mildly applauded the death of bin Laden but for Hamas....hell no...they are denouncing his death.
From the article at The Telegraph:
The Hamas prime minister of the Gaza strip, Ismail Haniya, said: “We condemn the assassination of a Muslim and Arab warrior and we pray to God that his soul rests in peace.
“We regard this as the continuation of the American oppression and shedding of blood of Muslims and Arabs.”
The Hamas reaction put it immediately at odds with Mahmoud Abbas, the leader of the Palestinian Authority, with which it is due to sign a unity deal today to join the Palestinian government.
Since I'm talking about Hamas and all of the pigs that live in Gaza, this is a good time to remind America of the celebration the Palestinians had in 2001 when bin Laden killed 3,000 of our brothers and sisters. Here's the video from that day the Palestinians celebrated the blood of thousands of Americans:
So, the next time you see the college kids in your town holding a pro-Palestinian rally....or you see a "Free Palestine" protest in front of your city hall, park your damn car and confront the little bastards and show them this video. Show them the fact that Hamas has condemned the justice America has deserved for 10 years.
As for Hamas, I say this is the last straw. This group has put the world in jeopardy for years...they are one of the most vile islamic terror groups in the world and my question is simple: Why are they allowed to exist?
It's high time that the U.S. teams with Israel to wipe Hamas out - from top leadership down to the peons that carry the water for 'em. Believe me, between the IDF and U.S. special ops, it would be over in less than a week. The world will be a better place.
Osama bin Laden dead: Hamas condemns killing of bin Laden
While many Middle East leaders welcomed America’s military action, the mixed reaction across the region cast a shadow over both the “Arab Spring” and the future of talks between Israel and the Palestinians.
Many Arab leaders facing popular uprisings, including Col Gaddafi of Libya, have claimed the protests are backed by al-Qaeda. Those claims have largely been rejected by protest groups but many in the West are concerned at the possibility that greater freedom of expression will allow more room for Islamic militants to operate.
The Hamas prime minister of the Gaza strip, Ismail Haniya, said: “We condemn the assassination of a Muslim and Arab warrior and we pray to God that his soul rests in peace.
“We regard this as the continuation of the American oppression and shedding of blood of Muslims and Arabs.”
The Hamas reaction put it immediately at odds with Mahmoud Abbas, the leader of the Palestinian Authority, with which it is due to sign a unity deal today to join the Palestinian government.
The intransigent tone will confirm Israeli and American fears that the reconciliation between the two feuding Palestinian factions will make a peace deal impossible.
The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, which is linked to Hamas but has renounced violence at home, was more ambiguous but its response also suggested it opposed the action. It issued a statement saying it was “against violence in general, against assassinations and in favor of fair trials.”
“With bin Laden’s death, one of the reasons for which violence has been practised in the world has been removed,” Essam al-Erian, one of its spokesmen, said.
With both Hamas, which is designated as a terrorist group by both Britain and the US, and the Brotherhood set to play a greater role - Hamas in the Occupied Territories and the Brotherhood in post-revolutionary Egypt - their words mark the latest clear step away from the automatic support for counter-terror operations the West has come to expect.
Although al-Qaeda was thought to have been beaten in most of the heartland nations of the Arab world, the threat jihadism still poses was reflected in government statements and in numerous expressions of sympathy on the street and radical websites.
Saudi Arabia, bin Laden’s homeland and the country whose royal family he had pledged to overthrow, issued an unqualified welcome. “Saudi Arabia hopes that the elimination of the leader of the terrorist Al-Qaeda organisation will be a step towards supporting international efforts aimed at combating terrorism,” a statement said.
Yemen, which is fighting its own branch of the organisation, Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, also welcomed the news. One AQAP member told a reporter for Agence France Presse that the news, which had been confirmed by fellow operatives in Pakistan, was a “catastrophe”.
One commentator well-known on jihadist websites by the pseudonym “Assad al-Jihad2” pledged revenge. “Woe to his enemies,” he wrote. “By God, we will avenge the killing of the sheikh of Islam. Those who wish that jihad has ended or weakened, I tell them: let us wait a little bit.”
Tellingly, staunch western allies such as the United Arab Emirates kept silent. Analysts said they feared provoking retaliatory attacks, despite the high levels of security in the region.
Even in Dubai, some ordinary residents expressed regret at bin Laden’s death.
Ironically, the death of bin Laden may prompt Al-Qaeda cells throughout the region to take a more active role in Arab Spring uprisings as a way of proving their strength, said Theodore Karasik, of the Institute for Near East and Gulf Military Analysis.
“Because of bin Laden’s death they are going to be working more in tandem with each other,” he said.

I can't figure out what they're sad about. Osama was on his last leg, anyway, having needed dialysis already, and more importantly - he'll be celebrating now with 72 virgins. They should be happy for him!
Israel and America have been far too generous to Hamas over the years. It's time for them to take off the gloves and get serious.
