He’s back! Bin Laden is oredering his Al-Qaeda minions to help their Hamas brothers. Don’t forget, both Al-Qaeda and Hamas were influenced by the Muslim Brotherhood member, Azzam.
Bin Laden urges jihad against Israel
CAIRO, Egypt (AP) – Al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden has issued a new audiotape urging Muslims to launch a jihad, or holy war, to stop the Israeli offensive in Gaza.
I wonder how Leftists will react to seeing Al-Qeada coming to the aid of their beloved Hamas?
Hamas hides their casualties

Hamas hides the casualties suffered by its operatives:
Hamas’s main online forum censors the publication of names
and photographs of operatives killed in Operation Cast LeadOn January 10, at 21:41 , all web surfers on Hamas’s PALDF forum (the movement’s main message board) received a message from a user nicknamed “Samed” (“He who stands firm”). He is one of the forum’s moderators (the user was said to be a muraqib, Arabic for “inspector”). The message said that according to the policy of the terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip (“the jihadist resistance”), it was forbidden to publish photographs, names, or details of those members of the resistance (i.e., terrorist organizations) killed or injured in the fighting until the end of the “Israeli aggression” in the Gaza Strip. The moderator said that any message violating those principles would be removed from the forum. He added that they were all “soldiers of the resistance” who should avoid providing assistance to the enemy (see Appendix for the complete message and its translation).
It is our assessment that such a policy is designed to achieve three goals:
a) to avoid undermining the morale of Hamas operatives as a result of the death of many terrorists during the IDF’s ground operations (according to IDF reports, more than 200 operatives were killed). With that in mind, and possibly owing to the difficulty of evacuating many bodies from the battlefield, it was reported that Hamas was not holding proper funerals for its fatalities.
b) to deliver to the Palestinian target audience (and to other target audiences worldwide) the message that Israel has no achievements in its ground operation and thus strengthen Hamas’s status and bargaining power when the fighting comes to an end.
c) to confirm (through Al-Jazeera and other media) the false propaganda message that Israel’s military operations are aimed against Gaza Strip residents and that only the civilian population is being hit by the IDF and is paying the price.
Yep.
IDF enters Gaza Neighborhood

It looks like the IDF is testing Hamas defenses in Gaza City.
Israeli forces enter Gaza City neighborhood
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) – Israeli ground troops battled Palestinian militants in the streets of a densely populated Gaza City neighborhood early Tuesday, destroying dozens of homes and sending terrified residents running for cover as gunfire and explosions echoed in the distance.
Israel’s push into Tel Hawwa neighborhood was the farthest it has moved into Gaza City during its 18-day offensive against Hamas militants, and brought Israel’s ground forces within a mile of the crowded city center. Palestinian hospital officials say more than 900 Palestinians, half of them civilians, have been killed.
Israel launched the offensive on Dec. 27 to end years of Palestinian rocket attacks on its southern towns, and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has vowed to press forward with an “iron fist,” despite growing international calls for an end to the fighting. U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon was headed to the region Tuesday to press for a cease-fire.
Israel needs to storm Gaza and finish this!
