Hamas follows Palestinian tradition of out sourcing terror

Joel Himelfarb:

Yesterday's events, in which members of Hamas and a group known as the Popular Resistance Committees attacked a military base in Southern Israel, killing two Israeli soldiers and kidnapping a third, represents a dangerous escalation in the conflict between Israel and the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority. Israeli troops tanks moved into Gaza for the first time since last summer's withdrawal, and the government is threatening harsh reprisals against the PA if the abducted soldier is not returned alive.
It is the PRC's first operation since its leader, Jamal Abu Samhadana -- a notorious Palestinian terrorist appointed by Hamas to be in charge of building a new Palestinian army in Gaza -- died in an Israeli airstrike. His elimination occurred less than 24 hours after the U.S. airstrike that killed Abu Musab Zarqawi in Iraq. While Samhadana had focused his energies on killing Israelis, he had American and Palestinian blood on his hands as well. As head of the PRC, Samhadana, an explosives expert, was directing the efforts of armed Palestinian gangs to target Israel from bases in Gaza. He was responsible for the murders of Israeli civilians, and had Palestinian and American blood on his hands as well.
The Israeli military says it was not targeting Samhadana, and that he died in an raid on a terrorist training camp in Gaza. The airstrike came in response to rocket attacks from Gaza into southern Israel -- a near-daily feature of life since Israel completed its withdrawal from Gaza in September. Samhadana and his associates in the camp were members of the PRC. Israel claims that, at the time of its strike on the camp on June 9, Samhadana and company were training to carry out a major series of terrorist attacks inside Israel.
More recently, the PRC formed a strategic alliance with Hamas, and instructed its cadres to support Hamas-backed candidates in January's Palestinian elections. The PRC is virulently anti-Semitic: Like Hamas, it issues official declarations referring to Israel as a "satanic entity" that must be destroyed," and its propaganda missives refer to Jews as "the sons of monkeys and pigs." Hamas has found it useful to "outsource" terror to the PRC, particularly the near-daily firing of rockets into southern Israel.
The PRC was established by Samhadana in September 2000, when Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat went to war against Israel. Under Samhadana's direction, the PRC has been behind hundreds of attacks against the Jewish state. These include firing machine guns, antitank rockets and grenades at Israeli settlements in Gaza, and at nearby Israeli towns -- both before and after the Israeli pullout from Gaza. Samhadana's operatives killed two in a Nov. 20, 2000, attack on a children's bus near the Gaza town of Kfar Darom. In 2002, the PRC killed at least seven Israel Defense Force soldiers in attacks with improvised explosive devices. On Oct. 15, 2003, it bombed a U.S. embassy convoy in Gaza, killing three American private security contractors. On May 2, 2004, Samhadana's PRC carried out a shooting attack which killed six Israelis -- Tali Hatuel, eight months pregnant, who was gunned down together with her four daughters as she drove through Gaza.

The Palestinian terror organizations must be destroyed. That is the only hope for the Palestinian people. Until the real estate worshipping death cults are gone they will never have a Palestinian state. Ot is another defect of Islam that it cannot accept People of another religion. This religious bigotry combined with a worship of certain pieces of real estate are a deadly combination for the Palestinians.
