Once again, Osama bin Laden is trying to rally support for his terrorist network by threatening Jews. Yawn.
Bin Laden also made an unusually sharp threat of attacks against Israel, saying, ”I would like to assure our people in Palestine that we will expand our jihad there.”
”We intend to liberate Palestine, the whole of Palestine from the (Jordan) river to the sea,” he said, threatening ”blood for blood, destruction for destruction.”
Bin Laden and other al-Qaeda leaders frequently vow to liberate Jerusalem and Palestine in their messages. But the latest comments were a more direct language than Bin Laden usually uses. Israel has warned of growing al-Qaeda activity in Palestinian territory, but the terror network is not believed to have taken a strong direct role there so far.
”We will not recognize even one inch for Jews in the land of Palestine as other Muslim leaders have,” Bin Laden said.
You know what astonishes me? That they try to pretend that “Palestine” was ever a Muslim country. Even the name—“Palestine”—is the name given to the area by the Romans, centuries before Mohammed was born, in an attempt to erase the Jewish state forever. Yeah, that didn’t work, either.
Mind you, there is more al qaeda activity in Gaza than there has ever been—but I don’t think bin Laden has a whole lot to do with it. On the other hand, it’s good to see him being open about his Jew-hatred, just as his admirers in Hamas have been of late. On the heels of Hamas insisting there’s no room for Jews in “Palestine,” on cue, here comes bin Laden saying the same.
Yeah. WhatEVER.
Jews have outlasted live antisemites for 4000 years now so I don’t think we’ll have much trouble with a dead one.
Haman never had nukes.
I have to say, Osama is a tough-talking blowhard, isn’t he?
