Hamas: Hundred of thousands ready to become martyrs
Speaking at conference in Gaza, Mahmoud al-Zahar warns Israel Hamas has 200,000 suicide bombers waiting to attack. 'We must use all our resources to fight occupation,' he says

"If Israel has 200 nuclear warheads, the Palestinian people have 200,000 suicide bombers, waiting to blow themselves up in the presence of Zionists and be martyred," Hamas leader Dr. Mahmoud al-Zahar said in Gaza on Tuesday.

During a conference held at the Islamic University of Gaza, Zahar said that Chief of Egyptian Intelligence Omar Suleiman would declare the beginning of a ceasefire if the "Zionist entity" were to agree to it. Despite the ceasefire negotiations, 15 Qassam rockets and 20 mortar shells were fired at Israel on Tuesday.

According to Zahar, if Israel delays in accepting the truce it will pay a heavy price. "We are a people under siege and we have no choice but to use all of our resources to protect ourselves from the occupation."

1. Well, 1 nuke will take care of 200,000 idiots. What's left to say?
Apart from "Don't wrap yourselves in TNT for - what was the cause again and how long ago was it?"

Why can't both sides get out of their cyclical little rut? Or are they so warped that they need to take high doses of Haldol for the rest of their lives?

3. I can not wrap myself around the mindset of someone
willing to walk into a pizza parlor and blow up a bunch of women having lunch with their kids.

I will NEVER understand that.

4. As I said
murder, violence, bombing, killing themselves, seems to be more important than building a state.

They say it themselves, It doesn't matter what Israel does, the militant Palestinians will continue this way.

What a sorry way to live. Pathetic really.

5. Read what Zahar says: "no choice but... to protect ourselves"
Same thing Olmert says. They're both ruthlessly bombing away at each other's civilians. I oppose both acts of terrorism. How about you?

6. If Israel wanted to obliterate Palestinians completely
they could have done it decades ago.

They have no desire to do any such thing.

Whereas the Palestinians' desires are well documented and well known.

Had they the firepower or military might, they would have taken over Israel decades ago.

They haven't given up that aspiration, and will continue to murder as many innocent people as possible, until they can achieve their goal.

(unfortuantely for them, it will never be possible, unless mutual annihilation is the goal).
