Hamas MP: It’s Our Turn to Punish the Jews

A Hamas MP, Sheik Yunis Al-Astal, appeared on Hamas’ Al-Aqsa TV last month, declaring that after the Germans, it’s the “turn of the Islamic nation to punish” the Jews once again.

&feature=player_embedded

“Allah punished the Israelites many times throughout history. He punished them by means of the Assyrians and the Babylonians. He punished them by means of the Companions of the Prophet in the Arabian Peninsula, at Al-Madina, and at Khaybar. He punished them by means of the Germans, and before that by means of the Romans.

Today, it is the turn of the Islamic nation to punish them once again.”

pre-emptive strike against a terrorist?

You can't negotiate with terrorists.

... or antisemitic rant she'd quickly run out of ammunition.

No, Israel responds -- appropriately -- to actual physical threat and attacks.

There are maniacs in the Knesset saying hateful and inciting shit about Palestinians all the time, too.

It goes both ways and it's wrong when anybody on either side says it.

There's going to be a lot more of this, and the words are going to be turned into action.

...for doing the same WRT Palestinians.

The problem is that this maniac from Hamas has his government backing his statements in both word and deed. You've seen it for yourself in those disgusting PMW videos.
