Osama: Israel Inflicts "Holocaust" In Gaza

Bin Laden, whose message was released in excerpts on Al-Jazeera TV, called Arab leaders hypocrites and accused them of sacrificing the Palestinians in Gaza and collaborating with Israel.
The three-week offensive, which ended on Jan. 18, killed about 1,300 Palestinians, according to Palestinian human rights groups.
"It was clear that some of the Arab leaders have collaborated with the Crusader-Zionist alliance against our people, those whom America calls the moderate leaders," said bin Laden. "We must disown ourselves from all those" governments.
He did not mention any governments by name in the brief excerpts, but Egypt, in particular, drew criticism during the offensive for not opening its border with Gaza to more aid shipments and humanitarian cases.
Both Israel and Egypt have closed their borders with Gaza since the Islamic militant group Hamas violently seized control of the Palestinian territory in June 2007. The closure deepened economic hardship in the already impoverished strip, home to 1.4 million Palestinians.
It was bin Laden's second audio message on the Gaza offensive since January, when he urged Muslims to launch a jihad against Israel. It was not possible to verify the message's authenticity. A spokesman for Al-Jazeera refused to say how the network obtained the recording.
The terror leader again urged Muslims to fight Israel.
"The Gaza holocaust, amid this prolonged embargo, is an important historic event and a catastrophe that shows the necessity of distinguishing Muslims from hypocrites," he said. "It is not right that our situation after Gaza will be as it used to be before. There should be serious work and preparation for jihad to fulfill righteousness and defeat evil."

Is your real name Moa- A-s-s-w-i-p-e ?
THe world has spoken.
Nazis Holocaust happened and killed over 6,000,0000 MIllions! people...most of the jews. THey were tortured, burnt , killed, gassed, starved...just for bieleving in one god, being studious and being able to accomplish more than the average. Nothing wrong..right?
Well, things haven't changed much since the nazis.
For Bin laden, the ideology is very similar. These extremists together with Ahjmajenacrazy and hamas to name a few (there are some others in this post) think the same way as they did thousands of years ago.
Destroy and eliminate whatever is threatening our primitive powers.
Don't forget the Mohammed guy was born hundred of years after the supposedely Palestine existed.
There is no occupation because the british mandate ordered and nations accepted for Israel to exist where it is now way back when. PERIOD. End of silly discussion about an occupation it does not exist.
If I were Israel- after already tried peace and resolutions and parting of land...
I would not give the palies parasites one more inch of land until they deserve it with their actions and recognition of an Israel (which is the only one it exists in reality...there's no Palestine). As long as Hamas continues denouncing and rejecting the reality which is that Israel exists now and will exist for many many more hundreds of years...
There will not be a Palestine!
It will continue being a figment of the primitive imagination!! haha!

But *** does that have to do with this conversation?

Not my plans, but I'm sure it's in the crosshairs of some Muslim extremist...
Thank you Hungry for establishing the incontestable primacy of Jewish dominion over Palestine!!!
If Hungry were American he would have voted for Barak HUSSEIN Obama, since he's not American he didn't so we can't blame him for Obama's financial mess.
Clearly, Hungry has never lived in America save for his two month fundraisering trip in 1993, during which he raised a mere $2000 (didn't even cover the trip!).
Where Israel has made the desert bloom and created great universities the Palies have done nothing. Where Israelis have won numerous Nobel Prizes, no Palie ever has, they've been too caught up in hatred, rocketry and bombing.!!!
Sorry Hungry, there is never any excuse to break the law by criminal smuggling. I'm sorry that it is "inconvenient" for the Palies not to do so, but criminal activity is no answer. I'm sure Hungry's list of crimes is a long one, that's why he defends criminals like the Palies.
holocaust

1. destruction or loss of life on a massive scale
2. the Holocaust mass murder of the Jews in Europe by the Nazis
"Here's another one. Note definition number two:
holocaust
1. a burnt offering or sacrifice.
2. large-scale destruction by fire or other violent means.

- then why didn't we refer to 9/11's events as a holocaust ? A "massive scale" is much larger than 1 or 3 thousnd innocent poeple.

What? You have plans to nuke Union of Socialst Maryland?

I'm not interested in blowing myself up. I bet you're interested in blowing yourself though or anyone with a spare dime really.
Nor am I in some "foreign" land. Although, unbeknownst to some poor, ignorant souls, America is considered "foreign" if one lives in another country.I bet you're interested in blowing yourself though.
1300 people? Absurd.
Comparing this to the REAL Holocaust is obscene.
At it's height, Auschwitz was killing over 15,000 people DAILY. Yep, that is over FIFTEEN thousand people. Every single day. And that is just ONE of dozens of Hitler 's camps.
The camp commandant, Rudolf Hoess, testified at the Nuremberg Trials that up to 3 million people had died at Auschwitz.
6 million died in the Holocaust, a number that is 4615 times that of Gaza.
It is despicable at how losers and manipulators throw around the word Holocaust.
Nothing else is comparable, or even close.

You apparently have never looked the word up in a dictionary. Note definition number one:
holocaust
Noun
1. destruction or loss of life on a massive scale

Here's another one. Note definition number two:
holocaust
1. a burnt offering or sacrifice.
2. large-scale destruction by fire or other violent means.
I have got to say that I have never seen anyone a preoccupied with criminal smuggling as the Palies. They LOVE to smuggle. I think it must be a genetic thing. Personally, I can think of many things I would rather do than smuggle. Evidently the Palies can't. You would think that after all these years they would get bored wih smuggling, but they haven't.
I think that what we may be seeing here is a rare example of a race of people who are actually criminal by nature! The odd pat is that they KNOW they are criminal because they try to hide their actions. People only try to hide that of which they are ashamed. Interesting.

Hey numbnuts - the palestinians lived in peace for well over 400 years in the region, and all that ended when the Israeli's took over.
It's been NOTHING but violence, strife, and war since then.
How is THAT the fault of the Palestinians?
And of course the Palestinians have to "smuggle". It's the ONLY way they can survive when Israel cuts off their food, water, and medicine!!
Imbecile!

What does "vaginal mutilation" have to do with Israel or the Palestinians, and why do you think that bizarre and sick practice exonerates the Israeli's atrocities?
Posted by littlebuddyd at 11:25 AM : Mar 15, 2009
Ahhh, how sweet. Althought I'm not a "dude," chances are I have more balls in my nifty backpack than you've had in your entire life sissy.
As is standard, CBS glorifies the Palestinian cause and the old cave dweller and presents only one opinionated side of the story by reposting "opinions" from the freakin Al-Jazeera TV.
Good God, with news (hahaha) like this, we don't need enemies.
