Gazans protest the Danish cartoons by attacking Israel
February 25, 2008
Six Qassams were fired from the northern Gaza Strip towards the western Negev since Sunday morning. All the rockets landed in open areas, without causing injuries or damage. The Salah al-Din Brigades, the Popular Resistance Committees‘ military wing, claimed responsibility for firing the rockets. The organization’s spokesman, Muhammad Abed al-Aal, told Ynet that the firing operation, dubbed “the lines of fire”, was a response to the “crimes of the Israeli occupation against the Palestinians,” but also “in response to the cartoons published in Denmark degrading the memory of Prophet Muhammad.
“The Palestinian resistance has committed to respond to the cartoons, and this is our initial response,” he added. Asked why the residents of Sderot and the Negev should pay the price for cartoons published in Denmark, Abed al-Aal responded, “The Jews have also hurt Islam and have also hurt the Koran in their prisons, as part of the plot to harm Islam and the memory and status of Prophet Muhammad. “The Palestinian resistance will not let Israel’s crimes and the smearing of Islam’s symbols go unanswered,” he said.
Makes pefect sense, doesn’t it, O Reader: the Danes publish some pictures of the (false) prophet Muhammad, and the Palestinians launch rockets at the Jews in Israel in response. And we’re trying to negotiate with these savages, and sending them aid packages? How much of that aid money gets transfered to Israel in the shape and form of Qassam rockets, I wonder?
