You know, you almost have to chuckle over what went down in Gaza this week...first, we have an Italian nutjob Pali sympathizer who moved to Gaza and has lived there for three years who was abducted by islamic terrorists. Then, the terrorists make demands of HAMAS for the release of their jihadis from a Hamas jail. Then, the terrorists kill the Italian and then Hamas CONDEMNS the act.
Lemme make sure I have this straight....Hamas, an islamic terror group that celebrates the murder of Israeli babies and children, is condemning an islamic terrorist hostage taking and murder of the hostage? I don't get it. An infidel was killed. Why isn't Hamas holding a press conference and handing out candy?
From the report at The Telegraph:
Vittorio Arrigoni, who had lived in Gaza for three years, was seized by an armed gang after leaving a gym on Thursday evening.
The captors made a video of Mr Arrigoni and demanded the release of two of its leader from a Hamas prison. However his body was found on Friday morning.
The discovery led to widespread condemnation led by Hamas and the Italian government.
The previously unknown Salafist group behind the hanging – The Brigade of the Gallant Companion of the Prophet Mohammed bin Muslima – was yesterday described as a front for Tawheed and Jihad, a fundamentalist organisation that has been active in Gaza, Jordan and Iraq since 2004.
Hamas, the religious party that runs Gaza, is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, which competes for support with the more extreme Salafist movement that is openly tied to al-Qaeda.
I love it. Hamas tries to hang on to control in Gaza and the whole time, Islamic Jihad is firing rockets into southern Israel getting Hamas commanders killed by IAF airstrikes and now, Hamas is the target for prisoner ransoms by the group affiliated with al Qaeda.
See Hamas? Governing is a LOT tougher than just blowing up people, isn't it?
Italian activist hanged in Gaza by al-Qaeda-linked radicals
Vittorio Arrigoni, who had lived in Gaza for three years, was seized by an armed gang after leaving a gym on Thursday evening.
The captors made a video of Mr Arrigoni and demanded the release of two of its leader from a Hamas prison. However his body was found on Friday morning.
The discovery led to widespread condemnation led by Hamas and the Italian government.
The previously unknown Salafist group behind the hanging – The Brigade of the Gallant Companion of the Prophet Mohammed bin Muslima – was yesterday described as a front for Tawheed and Jihad, a fundamentalist organisation that has been active in Gaza, Jordan and Iraq since 2004.
Hamas, the religious party that runs Gaza, is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, which competes for support with the more extreme Salafist movement that is openly tied to al-Qaeda.
A Tawheed statement said it was at war with Hamas over repression of its activities since the arrest last month of Hisham al-Saedini, its Jordanian Palestinian leader.
It said: "We and others have for a long time warned the Hamas government against the risks of acting so close to injustice against the Salafist trend at the request of the international community. Hamas was so arrogant they refused to even listen."
Ihab al-Ghoussein, a Hamas spokesman, branded the murder a "heinous crime which has nothing to do with our values, our religion, our customs and traditions" and said "the other members of the group will be hunted down and the law will be applied."
The Italian Foreign Ministry said the killing was a "barbaric murder" and a "vile and irrational gesture of violence on the part of extremists indifferent to the value of a human life."
Mr Arrigoni had exposed himself to numerous dangers in his work with locals. He was filmed recently acting as a human shield for Palestinian peasants cultivating crops in no-mans land on the heavily guarded Israeli border. He was the first foreigner to be abducted since Mr Johnston, who was held for 114 days by another group in 2007.
Egidia Beretta, Mr Arrigoni's mother, said: "I am very upset and surprised that something like this could have happened because of his activities over there: Vittorio never put himself in dangerous situations.
"Friends of his have called me from Gaza to tell me that Vittorio is now in a local hospital and that many Gaza citizens are shaken by his death."

Israel and Palestinian is a very long conflict both sides sit together and have a peace talks then they can find a good solution for this problem but this situation has to be changed. If this fighting continuous among them it will not only effect in that region but also this can effect on allover the world.
