Ahmed Yassin

Ahmad Ismail Hassan Yassin (Arabic: احمد ياسين; June 28, 1929 – March 22, 2004) was an imam who founded and led the terrorist organization Hamas, and gave terrorism a theological foundation and a religious stamp. He was called "Sheikh Yassin" because of his position as the leader of the Hamas movement. Eliminated by the IDF in a targeted counterattack during the second intifada.

He first joined the Muslim Brotherhood while in Egypt.

As the leader of Hamas, Yassin led a strong line against Israel, calling for its complete destruction and its replacement by an Islamic Palestinian state that would come in its place. Yassin called on the Palestinians to fight the Zionist enemy in all possible forms, to the last drop of their blood, according to the Koran's command that calls to kill and be killed, and issued fatwas permitting suicide attacks with the aim of removing the Jews from all areas of the Land of Israel "from the river to the sea."

He supported the kidnapping of soldiers, and in January 2004 he even gave the Islamic-law approval for carrying out suicide attacks by women.

"Sheikh Ahmed Yassin has been directly implicated in authorizing, directing, funding, and providing foot soldiers for Hamas terrorist operations."

Following his death:^[1]

Palestinians poured out into the streets Monday in what was described as the largest demonstration in decade — all to honor the memory of a master terrorist, Hamas founder and spiritual leader,
Sheikh Ahmed Yassin. It was a hero's memorial, not one befitting a thug hell-bent on emulating Adolf Hitler.
The reaction of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians reveals the depths of the depravity of a culture created by "spiritual leader" such as Sheikh Yassin.

It was a hero's memorial, not one befitting a thug hell-bent on emulating Adolf Hitler.
The reaction of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians reveals the depths of the depravity of a culture created by "spiritual leader" such as Sheikh Yassin.
Political arguments can be made as to whether or not Israel's targeted killing of Hamas' chief executive was a prudent tactical move or if governments should be in the business of killing terrorists rather than arresting them. But no argument can be made that Sheikh Yassin was anything but a bloodthirsty thug.
Yassin was responsible for "inspiring" 52 youths to blow themselves up for "martyrdom," preaching that Allah would reward them for killing Jews. Since the start of the intifada, Hamas has murdered 377 Israelis and wounded more than 2,000.
It's impossible to fathom the profound depravity of a society that could hail as a hero a mass murderer.
Imagine if people had taken to the streets to celebrate the life of notorious serial killer Ted Bundy when he was executed in 1989. That wouldn't be an entirely fair comparison, however, even the highest estimates are that Bundy murdered fewer than 100 women.
But such is the sorry state of Palestinian society, where everything from the law to children's textbooks are geared toward the realizing the goal of driving the Jews into the sea.
Although the Palestinian Authority recognizes the crime of murder, it does not apply to those who slaughter Jews. In nearly eight years since Oslo, there is no record of anyone prosecuted by the Palestinian Authority serving a full sentence for conspiring, planning or masterminding the murder of Jews.
Consider that the four men arrested — and now released — by the Palestinian Authority for carrying out the bombing of the U.S. convoy in Gaza last October were charged not with murder, but involuntary manslaughter.
Involuntary manslaughter is a charge applied to people who could not have foreseen that their actions could have reasonably led to someone's death. In the convoy bombing, the Palestinian Authority prosecutors charged involuntary manslaughter because, they contended, the four men had intended to kill Jews — which is not a punishable offense, at least not in the Palestinian Authority.
What Palestinian Authority dictator Yasser Arafat and the likes of Sheikh Yassin have carefully cultivated over the years is not a culture of death, but a cult of death. Palestinians are placed on the indoctrination assembly line at a very young age, feeding a terrorist complex that depends on a steady stream of fresh young, mindless bodies to become human bombs.

"The Mufti.. concocted a new kind of antisemitism that combined traditional Muslim antisemitism, like the anti-Jewish verses you find in the Koran, with the Nazi antisemitism that demonised Jews... His whole ideology was antisemitic and from the very beginning he targeted Jews, not Zionists."

The difference between lies and reality is sometimes just a color on a map

W. Ormsby-Gore as he was preparing the royal commission report, "Though I knew there was ill-feeling between Jews and Arabs, I had not realized the depth and intensity of the hatred with which the Jews are held by the Arabs..."

"It is not Israel's settlement blocks but rather the Palestinian ideological blockade that constitutes the biggest barrier to peaceful arrangements . The Jew-hatred in this region must no longer be played down as a kind of local custom ..."

The only tweet (July 2014) on the Twitter account of the late American Elan Ganeles - murdered by Arab-Islamist "Palestinian" on Feb 27, 2023 hy"d: "I think you're always going to have tension in the Middle East, when there's [are] people who want to kill Jews, and the Jews don't want to be killed, and neither side is willing to compromise."
