‘Iran training 150 Hamas gunmen’

JPost.com Staff, THE JERUSALEM POST

March 9, 2008

A week after Shin Bet head Yuval Diskin informed the cabinet that Hamas terrorists train in Iran, a commander in the extremist militia admitted as much to The Sunday Times.

Reportedly, the group has been sending gunmen to train with Iran’s Revolutionary Guards for the past two years.

Currently, the unnamed commander told the British paper, some 150 gunmen are being trained.

Hamas’s members enter Iran via Syria and avoid having their passports stamped.

Syria is also home to “more basic training” than that given in Iran.

Gunmen deemed of outstanding quality receive extra training and return to train others in Gaza.

The most promising members of each group stay longer for an advanced course and return as trainers themselves, he said. Those unfit for combat return to “serve” in a research unit.

The training lasts between 45 days and six months and is overseen by Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards.

Syria, the man said, currently hosts 62 Hamas gunmen and has already trained 650.

Annual Intel assessment: War with enemy states unlikely in ’08

Herb Keinon, THE JERUSALEM POST

March 9, 2008

There is a low likelihood of enemy states initiating an attack on Israel in 2008, but a growing likelihood of violence by Hizbullah, intelligence officials said Sunday, as the cabinet heard a strategic briefing from the country’s various intelligence arms.

best cialis levitra viagra which

Intelligence assessments were given by representatives from Mossad, military intelligence, Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency), the intelligence arm of the Foreign Ministry and the police.

cheap antibiotics online

These pointed to five major threats faced by Israel in 2008: Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Gaza and Palestinian terror, and Islamic jihad.

The intelligence community warned that a conflagration in any one front could lead to other fronts opening.

For instance, they said, an escalation in violence in the Gaza Strip could lead to a Hizbullah attack in the north.

Both Mossad and military intelligence officials agreed that the central strategic threat faced by Israel comes from Iran – both by the progress of its nuclear program and by its establishment as the leader of a radical axis

add comment effects levitra side

in the Arab world.

Intelligence officials said Iran was likely to reach a point of no return in its nuclear program by the end of 2009, while Syria was in the midst of an intense armament program and was putting long-range missiles into position. Both the Syrian and the Iranian strategic doctrines are based on the assumption that Israel will not be beaten in conventional war, due to its superiority on land and in the air, but rather by missiles on the Home Front that they are developing.

map 2 of reverse search

The representatives from Mossad and military intelligence said that the region was in the midst of a struggle between a radical axis led by Iran, and a pragmatic camp which includes Saudi Arabia, Persian Gulf states, Jordan and Egypt. These did not face any immediate danger from Iran in 2008, they said.

The officials said that while Syria is a member of the radical axis, some in the intelligence community believe that “under certain circumstances and if there were certain developments,” there is a possibility of pushing Syria out of that axis. The price for this would be a full Israeli withdrawal from Golan Heights and American rapprochement with Syria.

They said Syria believes that the chances of this happening in 2008 are low, but not completely impossible.

Foreign Ministry representatives said that the US was suffering from declining status in the Middle East, and that this was causing an increase in the maneuverability of other factors, including radical ones. However, they said, these radical forces were deterred by Israel, were worried by its strength and concerned it would use it. This, the officials said, prevented them from acting with all their strength.

On the Palestinian front, intelligence officials said they were seeing a certain drop in support for Hamas and a boost for Fatah, but this change was not considered to be significant. As long as the diplomatic process between Israel and Fatah continued, they said, the chances of an agreement between Hamas and Fatah was low.

Shin Bet representatives said that there was an increasing separation between Gaza and the West Bank. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas was making an effort to show an appearance of building up Fatah security forces, although in practice this was not being done, they said.

They also pointed to growing tensions between Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal and Hamas in Gaza.

Begin DEBKAfile Article

Exclusive: Israeli cabinet okays Hamas, Jihad Islami targets for attack

March 5, 2008, 8:57 PM (GMT+02:00)

DEBKAfile’s military sources disclose that Israel’s security cabinet approved Wednesday, March 5, a series of terrorist targets for early attacks as part of a sustained military offensive against escalated Palestinian attacks from Gaza on Israeli civilians.

Prime minister Ehud Olmert and defense minister Ehud Barak earlier obtained a quiet nod from US secretary of state Condoleezza Rice before she wound up her visit. These targets are revealed here by DEBKAfile:

1. Chiefs and senior officers of Hamas’ and Jihad Islami’s armed wings.

2. Their senior political officials in the Gaza strip, excluding prime minister Ismail Haniyeh, but including hard-line Mahmoud a-Zahar.

3. Hamas and Jihad institutions, including police stations.

These decisions were taken at the security cabinet’s first exhaustive review of Israel’s Gaza options.

DEBKAfile’s sources reveal the ministers considered demolishing urban districts in Gaza which serve as launching pads for missiles after evacuating their inhabitants. No final decision was reached on this.

Our military sources report that these strikes are expected to let loose a stepped up Hamas Grad rocket barrage against Ashkelon or even points further north, such as Ashdod, both important Mediterranean port cities.

Sderot, Netivot and Ofakim may also come under heavy missile attack and Hamas will make a supreme effort to bring off suicide attacks inside Israel.

Notwithstanding this expectation, the defense minister is determined to deny Hamas the ability to create a balance of deterrent with Israel. Therefore, the Israeli operation will persist even under heavy Hamas assaults.

In any case, the Palestinians launched a fresh onslaught on the heels of Rice’s departure after her talks with Palestinian and Israel leaders.

Five Katyusha rockets fired from Gaza at Ashkelon exploded on empty ground south of the city; four Qassam missiles were aimed at as Sderot and the Eshkol farming region, raising the total from Wednesday morning to eight.

Our military sources believe that the five rockets were deliberately aimed to explode harmlessly as a warning from Hamas of the violence in store if Israeli goes ahead with more military offensives. Military experts informed the cabinet that this was further proof that Hamas is now capable of precise targeting against specific locations.

Cabinet to IDF: Continue operations to halt rocket fire

By Barak Ravid, Haaretz Correspondent, and Haaretz Service

March 5, 2008

Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip fired seven rockets at southern Israel on Wednesday, as the security cabinet met in Jerusalem and voted to press onward with military operations against Hamas.

Three Qassam rockets slammed into open areas in the western Negev and two rockets struck near Zikkim. Two rockets exploded inside Palestinian territory. There were no reports of injuries or damage in any of the attacks. Two mortar shells were also fired at Israel.

The military operations will continue to target areas from which rockets

are fired as well as terrorist organizations and Hamas institutions in the Strip, and specific targets will be approved by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Defense Minister Ehud Barak, and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni.

The primary objectives of the operation are to end the rocket fire and other terror activity in Gaza, reduce arms smuggling through the Gaza-Egypt border in cooperation with Cairo, advance peace talks with the Palestinian Authority, undermine Hamas’ rule in the Strip, accelerate assistance to the home front, and avoid a humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

The security cabinet decision, as conveyed by the Prime Minister’s Bureau, does not mention increased military operations or a major invasion of the Gaza Strip.

Olmert said the operations in the Strip would continue as long as Qassam rocket fire persists.

inian gunmen in Gaza in the recent fighting, a senior official in Military Intelligence told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Monday. “Iran’s influence and effect is very clear,” he said.

Terrorists fired at least 20 Iranian-assembled Katyusha rockets, he said. In the course of the recent IDF operation, the air force bombed the largest rocket factory in Gaza.

“Hamas was surprised by the weight and strength of the IDF operation in Gaza,” he noted.

Excerpt 2 – Iran’s Proxy in Gaza

Noah Pollak

(Commentary)

Iran has invested heavily in Palestinian terrorism in recent years, both financially and logistically.

Scores of millions of dollars have been funneled directly and indirectly to Hamas and other Palestinian groups and numerous Palestinian terrorists have been brought to Iran for advanced training, to the point where today Gaza exists for the Iranians as another forward operating base, a projection of power similar to but not as capable as Hizbullah.

The defeat of their proxy in Gaza would be a serious loss to Iran.

Excerpt 6 – Israel’s War to Halt Palestinian Rocket Attacks

Dore Gold

(Institute for Contemporary Affairs/Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs)

The Kassam rocket threat started in 2001 and grew when the Palestinian Authority was under Fatah control. Even after the death of Arafat in November 2004, Kassam rocket fire from Gaza continued under the regime of Mahmoud Abbas. True, Abbas called on Palestinians to stop firing rockets into Israel in 2006, but on the ground, he and the Fatah leadership were either unwilling or unable to halt the Hamas attacks as they increased.

After Israel’s disengagement from Gaza, the number of confirmed rocket strikes against Israel increased by more than 500 percent. The 2005 Gaza disengagement provided Hamas with a sense of empowerment and self-confidence that led to a clear-cut escalation in the employment of the rocket capabilities that they had previously acquired.

nolvadex tablets

The disengagement from Gaza led to the loss of Israeli control over the Philadelphi route between the Gaza Strip and Egyptian Sinai, allowing for a significant increase in the range and quantity of rockets in the Palestinian arsenal.

Israeli security forces recently discovered in the western Negev the remains of a new 175 mm.

female viagra

rocket of Iranian origin that has a range of 26 kilometers. Israeli security sources are also concerned that Iran will try to smuggle its Fajr rockets to Gaza in the future.

add comment effects levitra side

A 45-kilometer-range Fajr 3, for example, could be smuggled in sections and assembled in Gaza. As long as the Philadelphi route is open for Hamas smuggling, the risk to Israel will grow as Iran exports rockets of increasing range to the Gaza Strip. The port of Ashdod is the next likely target, but should Fajr rockets reach Gaza, there is no reason why Hamas cannot pose a threat to Tel Aviv.

Presently, the Hamas leadership understands that repeated Katyusha attacks against Ashkelon will result in an Israeli ground incursion that can cost them nearly one hundred of their personnel. But without addressing the Philadelphi route or the northern Gaza launch sites, it is doubtful that these kinds of deterrence calculations alone will bring the Hamas rockets to a halt and alleviate the misery of the Israeli residents of Sderot.

Saudi Arabia’s Anti-Terror Campaign

By: E. Glass AND Y. Yehoshua *

Introduction

In recent years, Saudi Arabia has been making intense efforts to fight both terrorism and its religious and ideological underpinnings. These efforts have included activity by Saudi security apparatuses, senior government officials, and senior clerics, as well as by educators and journalists. Among the results of this comprehensive anti-terror campaign are the uncovering of several terrorist cells in the country; a government warning to Saudi youth to refrain from engaging in jihad outside the country; and fatwas and declarations by senior religious establishment clerics stating that engaging in jihad outside Saudi Arabia is a grave offense that does serious damage to Saudi Arabia and to the entire Muslim world.

In addition, Saudi authorities have called on preachers to refrain from using their pulpits to incite young people to jihad and to curse the Jews and Christians, and the Education Ministry has developed a program to fight terrorist ideology in the schools.

Since Islamist web sites

how do antibiotics affect birth control pills

play a significant role in spreading extremism, under a new law, anyone convicted of setting up a website supporting terrorism will be sentenced to 10 years in prison and fined five million riyals (about $1.3 million). Also, the Saudi intelligence apparatus has taken steps to close down such websites and to increase public awareness of the danger they pose.

This report reviews some of the measures that Saudi authorities have taken in the country’s struggle against terrorism.

Efforts to Prevent Terrorist Activities

Capture of Terrorist Cells in Saudi Arabia

In November 2007, the Saudi Interior Ministry announced that six terrorist cells, with a total of 208 members, had been captured in a large-scale operation. The investigation revealed that these cells had been planning terrorist operations inside Saudi Arabia, including attacks on oil installations and assassinations of security personnel. They had also planned to target senior clerics who had come out against the terrorist organizations, including Saudi Mufti Sheikh ‘Abd Al-‘Aziz bin ‘Abdallah Aal Al-Sheikh and Senior ‘Ulama Council members such as Sheikh Saleh bin Fawzan Al-Fawzan. About one month later, Saudi security forces captured another terrorist cell, which had been planning to attack Muslim pilgrims during the Hajj.

Saudi Government Calls on Youth to Refrain from Engaging in Jihad Abroad

In an unprecedented move, the Saudi government issued an announcement prohibiting Saudi youth from waging jihad abroad. The announcement, issued December 1, 2007, called on young Saudis inside the country and abroad who were planning to engage in jihad in areas of conflict to turn themselves in as soon as possible – either to Saudi security apparatuses, if they were still in the country, or to the nearest Saudi Embassy, if they were already abroad. According to the announcement, anyone doing so would have their voluntary surrender taken into account “in future consideration of their cases.” This unprecedented appeal was seen by Saudis as indicative of a policy shift, because Saudi King ‘Abdallah – like King Fahd before him – had always tended to grant amnesty to Saudis who had had a change of heart after making plans to engage in jihad abroad.

Saudi Mufti Issues Fatwa Prohibiting Youth from Engaging in Jihad Abroad

Senior Saudi clerics also took part in the effort to prevent Saudi youth from engaging in jihad abroad – and by doing so prompted the terrorist cells arrested in November 2007 to mark them as targets.

about glucophage

On October 1, 2007, Saudi Mufti Sheikh ‘Abd Al-‘Aziz bin ‘Abdallah Aal Al-Sheikh issued a fatwa prohibiting Saudi youth from engaging in jihad in Iraq. The fatwa, which was published in the Saudi press in both Saudi Arabia and London, stated that setting forth to wage jihad abroad without authorization from the ruler was a serious offense, and that Saudi youth who did so were being exploited by dubious elements in the East and in the West. These youth, the fatwa added, were causing grave damage to Saudi Arabia, to Islam, and to the Muslims.

add comment effects levitra side

In the fatwa, the mufti wrote: “Out of concern for our youth, and in order to advise the Muslim imams and the Muslim public, I have resolved to issue [the following fatwa]. For several years now, we have been faced [with a phenomenon] of our youth setting forth from Saudi Arabia with the intention of waging jihad for the sake of Allah. These young people are full of enthusiasm and religious zeal, but lack sufficient religious knowledge to discern truth from falsehood. This is why they succumb to temptation and fall into [the traps] set for them by dubious elements.

nolvadex tablets

They have become pawns in the hands of foreign apparatuses, which manipulate them in the name of jihad, and which are using them to accomplish their own shameful aims… by [carrying out] foul operations that could not be further from the [true nature of our] faith.

“Our youth have become a commodity bought and sold by elements in the East and the West that are pursuing their own objectives and goals – and only Allah knows how harmful [these goals] are to Islam and its adherents… [These young people] have been used by external elements to embarrass this pure country, to cause it harm and suffering, and to impose the rule of its enemies upon it… This is very dangerous, because the actions [of these young people] harm the Muslim nation, and cause damage to a quiet and peaceful country [namely Saudi Arabia]. Their actions weaken this country and its people…

“…Setting forth [to wage jihad] without authorization from the ruler contravenes the principles of shari’a and constitutes a grave offense. Whoever incites these [young people to engage in jihad] is either ignorant… or is fully aware of the situation but seeks to inflict damage upon this country and its people.”

In his fatwa, the mufti also called upon “people of means” to “spend their money with discretion, so that it does not harm the Muslims.” He urged the ‘ulama “to guide the youth and open their eyes to reality, and to warn them of the consequences of being drawn to arbitrary opinions and extremism that is not based on religious knowledge.”

Clerics: “Perpetrators of Suicide Operations Are Condemned to Eternal Suffering in Hell”

Shura Council Head Dr. Saleh bin Humaid said in his August 10, 2007 Friday sermon in a Mecca mosque: “Those who incite the young people [to wage jihad] are either ignorant and out of touch with reality, or else they are fully aware of the situation but seek to harm this country and the believers and to bring defeat upon the [Muslim] nation. These young people have thus become easy prey for anyone who aims to harm the country. [The inciters] have exploited their zeal, turning them into walking bombs – [into terrorists] who kill themselves so that others may reap political gain…”

Sheikh Dr. Saleh bin Fawzan Al-Fawzan, member of the Senior Ulama Council and of the Saudi Fatwa Committee, said, “Whoever carries out a suicide operation, calling it ‘jihad in the way of Allah’ and hoping to die as a martyr, is considered a [mere] suicide and is condemned to eternal suffering in Hell – for jihad has nothing to do with such actions.”

Program for Fighting “Deviant” Ideas in the Schools

The anti-terror efforts have also spread to the education system, as is evident from the Saudi Education Ministry’s new Islamic Awareness Program for fighting “deviant” ideas in schools. The program aims to create an “ideologically secure” learning environment, and encourages moderateness among both pupils and teachers, in order to protect them against “the destructive influences of deviant groups.”

It should be noted that for the past two years, Saudi Arabia has been operating two other large-scale programs: a counseling program for security prisoners in Saudi prisons that is supported by the Saudi Interior Ministry, and the Al-Sakinah Campaign for dialogue with extremists on the Internet, which is supported by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs.

Condemnation of Religious Discourse Inciting to Jihad

In addition to condemnation of those responsible for sending young people to wage jihad, there has also been criticism of preachers who use their pulpits in the mosques to spread jihadist ideology and to incite against non-Muslims.

Saudi Interior Minister: Preachers Inciting to Jihad Are More Dangerous than the Terrorists Themselves

In a December 2, 2007 press conference at King Saud University, Saudi Interior Minister Prince Naif bin ‘Abd Al-‘Aziz criticized mosque preachers who call for jihad, saying: “The efforts on the ideological front still leave much to be desired.

index of reverse search

Security measures in themselves are not sufficient [to stop terrorism] – it is mainly action on the ideological [front] that prevents extremist ideas from infiltrating the minds of the youth.” He added: “The pulpits of the mosques should be used to guide people. When they are used for other purposes, it is nothing but negligence and error, which are bound to lead to the gravest danger – namely to violation of [the precepts] of the faith and to rebellion against the ruler… These preachers are more dangerous than the terrorists themselves.”

In a December 1, 2007 interview with the Saudi daily ‘Okaz, published shortly after the terror cells were uncovered and arrested, Prince Naif stressed the important role of the ‘ulama and journalists in the ideological struggle against terrorism. He said: “Mufti [‘Abd Al-‘Aziz Aal Al-Sheikh] did what Allah enjoined, [and issued a fatwa] fully elucidating [Islam’s position on terrorist operations]. We hope that this will serve as an example for all our ‘ulama… Some ‘ulama, philosophers, journalists, and mosque preachers have [already] fulfilled their obligation, but others have still failed to do so.

female viagra

There must be decisive and effective action on the ideological front in order to refute the [terrorist ideology’s] false claims and to reveal the truth to the people…”

Referring to preachers who incite youth to wage jihad in Iraq, Prince Naif said: “We believe that such preachers corrupt and harm [youth], and we shall soon put an end to [their activity]… There is ongoing coordination between the Interior Ministry and the Ministry of Islamic Affairs in this respect, and we hope to step up [this coordination], in order to ensure that the mosque pulpits… are used [only] for the most important matters, such as warning [the public] against the dangers [of terrorism].”

Saudi Sheikh: Do Not Follow Those Who Spread Evil

During public prayers on Eid Al-Adha, Saudi Sheikh ‘Abd Al-Muhsin Aal Al-Sheikh warned worshipers against following disseminators of evil and extremism and those who seek to sow strife and division.

He also warned against the plots of those who engage in takfir [i.e. accusing other Muslims of heresy] and who call for rebellion against the authorities.

In further efforts to stop the spread of extremist ideas, there have been calls in Saudi Arabia to stop preachers from cursing Jews and Christians in their Friday sermons. In an interview with the Saudi daily Al-Watan, senior Saudi scholars urged preachers not to curse the peaceful Christians and Jews and their allies, but only those Christians and Jews who deprive the Muslims of their rights.

President of the Al-Jubayl court Sheikh Riyadh Al-Muhaidib said during the interview: “Cursing peaceful non-Muslims is not accepted in Islam… Preachers must follow the guidelines of the Ministry of Islamic Affairs in this respect. These preachers play an important role in clarifying the precepts of Islam and in explaining them to everyone, including to the People of the Book [i.e. Christians and Jews] in our country. Perhaps this will help in guiding them to the right path [of Islam]… We must not allow isolated incidents [of invective against Christians and Jews] to distort the image of our faith around the world, especially in those [Saudi] regions where many [residents are of the] People of the Book, such as Al-Jubayl and Yanbu’.”

The imam and preacher of the Al-Salam mosque in Al-Dammam, Sheikh Hussein Al-Ghamidi, said in the interview: “The state [has a responsibility] to eliminate the sources of hatred towards the other… It must eradicate this [mistaken] ideology, and convince its adherents of the danger it poses.”

Saudi Columnist: Cursing Jews and Christians Contravenes the Principles of Islam

Al-Riyadh columnist Dr. Sa’d Al-Quway’i wrote: “Some of the mosque preachers still make sweeping generalizations and insulting remarks against the People of the Book, [namely] the Christians and the Jews, and pray for their destruction and demise… [Some preachers still] make generalizations, saying: ‘Oh Allah, destroy the Jews and those who compromise with them, the Christians and those who defend them, and the Communists and their supporters.’ This [behavior] is obviously unacceptable, since it contravenes the principles of the Islamic shari’a. Even if only a handful of preachers [do so], and they do not represent a trend… such incidents should not be allowed to distort the image of Islam, which calls for rapprochement with the People of the Book in order to keep them from turning away from our religion.

“The call to destroy all Christians and all Jews contravenes divine law… [which stipulates] that the People of the Book will endure [until the end of days]. The Prophet said that at the end of days, the Byzantines – that is, the Christians – will be the majority, and there will be great wars with the infidels [including with the People of the Book]. That is why the religious scholars stated that ‘in principle, [a Muslim] should entreat Allah to guide the polytheists to the right path. As for curses, they should not be directed at the infidels as a collective, but only at those who hurt the Muslims and fight them…’

“I hope that the mosque preachers heed the advice of Islamic Affairs Minister Sheikh Saleh bin ‘Abd Al-‘Aziz Aal Al-Sheikh, who said that there are honest people among the Christians and Jews, and that [we] should therefore entreat Allah to guide them in the right path… and [to lead them] to Islam. Asking Allah to destroy them is a forbidden

[act of] aggression, [since] one must not make sweeping generalizations about all Christians and all Jews…”

Measures against Incitement and Dissemination of Terrorist Ideology on the Internet

Saudi Intelligence Chief: Saudi Arabia Is Fighting Extremist Websites

Recently, senior Saudi officials have been emphasizing the need to fight extremist websites as part of the struggle against terrorism. Saudi intelligence chief Muqrin bin ‘Abd Al-‘Aziz told a press conference: “Fourteen Western ISPs are hosting over 5,400 websites used by Al-Qaeda… Had we eliminated [this problem], incidents like the infamous July 7, 2005 London bombings would not have occurred… Saudi intelligence is making every effort to prevent the activities and the proliferation of these extremist websites and forums… The main goal of the intelligence apparatuses is to increase public awareness of the danger they pose and of the ways to fight them.”

The role of extremist websites in spreading terrorism was also mentioned by Muhammad Al-Nujaimi, member of the Saudi Interior Ministry Advisory and Guidance Committee, which is in charge of rehabilitating and guiding terrorists who renounce their extremist views. Al-Nujaimi stated that the adherents of mistaken ideologies were increasingly influenced by the Internet. He estimated that websites spreading extremist ideas now numbered in the millions, and included some 4,500 sites in Arabic aimed at Arab youth and seeking to spread extremism using misguided and misguiding fatwas.

Imprisonment, Heavy Fine for Establishing Websites Supporting Terrorism

The Saudi Interior Ministry issued the Statute for Fighting Information Crime, which defines such crimes and sets punishments for violators. Under the statute, anyone who sets up terrorist websites and/or uses them to communicate with leaders of terrorist organizations, spread terrorist ideology, raise funds for terrorist organizations, or disseminate information on manufacturing explosives will be sentenced to 10 years in prison and fined five million Saudi riyals (about $1.3 million).

Saudi Columnist: Extremist Websites Spread Hatred in the Guise of Religion

Saudi columnist Khaled Al-Ghanami wrote in Al-Watan: “The free media [on the Internet] has some negative and dangerous consequences. We all know that there is always someone who is willing to use this innovative technology to fish in troubled waters and to disseminate extremist and terrorist [ideas]… People go to great lengths to protect young Internet users against immoral and pornographic content.

buy zithromax non-prescription

However, they [tend to] disregard the influence of websites that incite to terrorism under the guise of religion and through the use of the term ‘jihad’… [These websites] brainwash the youth by spreading extremist ideas and accusations of heresy… These are real crimes, and punishments must be set for the perpetrators, as a deterrent to others.”

Saudi Columnists Join the Fight against Terrorism

Recent articles in the Saudi press have called to step up the efforts against incitement and terrorism. Al-Watan editor-in-chief Jamal Khashoggi wrote: “Our struggle against terrorism is primarily an ideological one. The position of a religious scholar takes precedence over that of a soldier, a journalist, a teacher, or an economist. We must re-erect the religious barriers that the extremists have torn down… By [creating] loopholes in religious law, they have undermined the basic tenets [of Islam] and have permitted the forbidden.

“Courageous religious scholars have come out against extremist ideology, foremost among them Saudi Grand Mufti Sheikh ‘Abd Al-‘Aziz Aal Al-Sheikh, who categorically prohibited suicide terrorist attacks, regardless of the intended target. The sanctioning of such attacks had been the greatest loophole allowing the Al-Qaeda ideology… to infiltrate [our society]… As long as terrorism and terrorists exist, we have not sufficiently fulfilled our obligations. I hope that our religious scholars will lead us in a resolute campaign against terrorist ideology…”

Saudi Columnist: Terrorist Attacks Must Be Categorically Prohibited

Reformist journalist Turki Al-Dakhil wrote in Al-Watan: “It is the failure to issue fatwas prohibiting suicide operations that prompts ‘paradise seekers’ to blow themselves up, killing civilians and others in order to attain the virgins and reach the highest levels of Paradise.

It is the hesitation over whether or not to forbid these operations that has caused them to proliferate daily and to expand in scope – from murdering non-Muslims to murdering Muslims belonging to other schools of thought, and eventually [to murdering] even those who belong to the same school of thought, profess the same faith, and are of the same nation…

“Not one of the suicide bombers and murderers asked [himself]: Who allowed you take the lives that God created without His permission, based only upon your own invalid justifications, as if you were Allah’s representative [and had a right to] speak in His name and to defend His religion and faith?

“The new Hashshashin…the ignorant murderers ready to blow up their bodies [in order to kill] those who have ideological disagreements with them – proliferate only due to the failure to issue a sweeping prohibition against suicide operations.

equivalent female viagra

Worse still, [they proliferate] because these attacks are regarded as martyrdom, whereby the perpetrator sacrifices his life for a [noble] cause.

“Those who blow themselves up among others are weaklings, even if they do have the courage to take their own lives in such a shameless manner. [They do] this [only] because they are incapable of defending their cause in humane and civilized ways – for this would require much work and serious effort, while they are looking for quick solutions, even at the cost of their lives… It is the hesitancy [of the ‘ulama] – who prohibit suicide attacks in their own countries but permit them in other countries – that has transformed our religion into one of murder, explosions, martyrdom, and seeking Paradise by murdering others…”

Eight funerals Friday for students murdered by Palestinian terrorist at Jerusalem’s Yeshivat Harav Thursday night

March 7, 2008, 5:48 PM (GMT+02:00)

Yohai Livshitz, 18, and Neria Cohen, 15 from Jerusalem

Yonatan Yitzhak Eldar, 16, from Shilo

Maharta Taruno, 26, from Ashdod

Many thousands gathered at the yeshiva from all parts of Israel heard the eulogies and the readings of Psalms for the eight victims.

Seven of the wounded students in the shooting rampage are still in hospital, three in serious condition. Two were hurt when they jumped from the second floor window of the yeshiva library to escape the massacre. The Jerusalem police have recovered the vehicle used by the killer, Ala Abu Dhaim, 20, a Jerusalem Palestinian with Israeli citizenship who lived in the southern village of Jebal Makaber and worked as a delivery-man. He used it to drive to the Jerusalem yeshiva Thursday night, March 6, with his Kalashnikov assault rifle and other weapons.

It contained a large stock of ammo. His family set up a mourning tent and raised Hamas and Hizballah flags.

Hamas praised the killings as “heroic.”

Security forces and emergency services are on national terror alert across the country for more terror. The West Bank is under closure. The security services and police are hunting the planners of the attack on one of Jerusalem’s largest yeshiva centers after imposing a blackout on the investigation. Hundreds of students attended the secondary school section and the seminary.

Police are on guard for the tension in Jerusalem sparking angry clashes between Jews and Arabs.

The Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert condemned the outrage but pledged not to derail “the peace process.”

The UN Security Council emergency session broke up Thursday after Libya blocked a resolution condemning the terrorist attack by demanding that Israel’s operation in the Gaza Strip be added. The US delegate refused, backed by Russia.

The Lebanese Hizballah’s TV station interrupted its broadcasts on the night of the attack to name the perpetrators as the “Imad Mughniyeh Liberators of Galilee.”

Terrorist’s Family Proudly Displays Hamas Flags

1 Adar Bet 5768, 08 March 08 12:10

by Hillel Fendel

(IsraelNN.com) Israeli security forces have razed the home of the murderous terrorist who murdered eight Merkaz HaRav yeshiva students. He lived in Jabel Mukabar, a neighborhood just east of Jerusalem’s East Talpiyot neighborhood.

His family set up a mourners’ tent outside the ruins, and hung Hamas flags all around it.

Police denied reports that the murderous terrorist had once worked for Yeshivat Merkaz HaRav. However, he was a driver who often transported children and others, and there were reports that he had occasionally been hired by the yeshiva.

His last trip was Thursday evening to Yeshivat Merkaz HaRav, where his van was found after the attack with ammunition inside.

Magen David Adom emergency medical services are on the highest level of alert all around the country. Jerusalem police are out in force as well, especially to guard the Moslem prayers on the Temple Mount – though police commentator Uri Cohen Aharonov said, “The Arabs have basically had their fill for one day, and no disturbances are expected.”

Defense Minister Ehud Barak announced, shortly after the slaughter, the emplacement of a closure on the Arabs of Judea and Samaria that “will be lifted according to security assessments.” The closure will not include humanitarian, medical and exceptional cases.

Israel’s Foreign Ministry issued this statement regarding Islamic terrorism after the attack:

“Tonight’s murder of yeshiva students during a religious event expresses at its most deplorable the fundamentalist-extremist foundations, in the name of which Palestinian terrorism operates. Israel will never allow terrorism to achieve its goals. Such abominable terrorist attacks must strengthen the free world’s understanding of the nature of the terrorist threat. A clear, decisive and uncompromising stand is necessary against such terrorism.

“Israel is at the forefront of the struggle against terrorism and will continue to defend its citizens, who are exposed to this threat on a daily basis. Israel expects the nations of the world to support it in its war against those who murder students, women and children, by any means and with respect for neither place nor target.”

Terrorism is a strange business. Terror groups usually fight stronger armies, and must therefore walk a fine line.

doxycycline cat

As long as they stick to persistent low-intensity warfare, they can deliver painful blows without prompting an overwhelming response. Yet ironically, attacks that are “overly successful” can be a terrorist’s worst enemy.

A nation that sustains an unusually difficult blow is willing to adopt measures that it normally would not.

We saw this with America’s harsh response to the September 11 attacks, and on a smaller scale in Israel’s response to the wave of suicide bombings in March 2002.

For many years, Palestinian terror groups heeded this lesson.

0 cialis comment currently reply

Their success was moderate, yet repeated attacks eroded Israel’s sense of security over the years. Yet fortunately for Israel, here too the Palestinians showed that their reputation as the world’s worst decision-makers was well deserved. Their unique talent for misjudging reality, perhaps the most blatant of all Palestinian qualities, came back to haunt them again.

The suicide terror wave of 2002 culminated in the bloody Passover attack at a Netanya hotel that killed 30 people. Yet the customary Palestinian festivities in the wake of the “grand operation” were short lived. The shocking attack prompted Israel to launch operation Defensive Shield, which shattered the West Bank’ s terror infra

structure. In subsequent years, Israel’s terror death toll dropped rapidly, from a peak of close to 450 victims to less than 15 last year.

No less significantly, Israel’s tough response shattered Fatah, the strongest of all Palestinian organizations, which has not recovered since.

Now, Hamas is moving closer to making the same mistake.

diflucan diovan hct used

The fundamentalist Islamic organization is known as a pragmatic group, yet it too is apparently not immune to the Palestinian “I-want-more” syndrome. Emboldened by repeated success in recent years, most notably its elections victory and violent Gaza coup, Hamas just couldn’t hold back.

Step closer to the abyss

For seven years, rockets have been raining on Sderot, gradually eating away at residents’ resolve, but causing a low casualty toll that kept Israel from responding in kind. Yet Hamas was apparently dissatisfied with the slow progress, smuggling in longer range missiles, and recently started targeting a much larger city, Ashkelon. That was a major mistake.

Now that 250,000 Israelis are in rocket range, the threat has taken on increasingly strategic dimensions. Israel simply cannot live with such situation over time. Operation “Warn Winter,” which claimed more than 100 Palestinian lives in a matter of days, was a first, relatively humble warning shot. Thursday’s massacre in Jerusalem, regardless of who committed it, was another step that brings Palestinians closer to the abyss, as the anger it aroused brings Israel a step closer to taking the gloves off.

Despite their claims to be thoroughly familiar with Israeli realities, our Arab enemies have failed time and again in gauging Israel’s mood. Hizbullah leader Nasrallah, previously a self-proclaimed “Israel expert,” has already admitted that he completely misjudged Israel’s response to the abduction of its soldiers. Similarly, Hamas is now walking down the same path.

cream female viagra vigorelle

The undercurrents may not be readily apparent, but they are there, and they are getting stronger with each passing day. Israelis are quickly approaching the “critical mass” that would prompt an all-out response. Hamas, which is busy declaring victories, organizing triumphant parades, and handing out sweets in the streets of Gaza, may also be forgetting that at the end of the day it is quite isolated internationally. Even most of its Arab brethren don’t care too much about its fate these days.

On top of that we should count an army hungry to prove that its performance in Lebanon was merely an aberration. This time around, troops have been preparing for months. Unfortunately for Hamas, it is about to pay the price for Israel’s failure in Lebanon. A moment before it hits the abyss, will Hamas be able to regain its composure? Past experience shows that the likelihood of that is slim.

Hamas, beyond being a terror group, is a popular movement that is deeply entrenched within Palestinian society. As such, it cannot be fully eliminated or destroyed. Yet it can be brought to its knees and significantly weakened; the countdown to that has begun.
