Gaza Demonstrators March to Protest bin Laden’s Death

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Some two dozen Palestinians gathered in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday to pay tribute to slain al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.

About 25 people holding pictures and posters of bin Laden rallied outside a Gaza City university. The crowd included al-Qaida sympathizers as well as students who said they opposed bin Laden’s ideology, but were angry at the U.S. for killing him and consider him a martyr.

Hamas police did not interfere in the demonstration.

On Monday, Ismail Haniyeh, prime minister of Gaza’s Hamas government, condemned the U.S. operation against bin Laden, whom he hailed as a “Muslim and Arab warrior.”

Still, the Islamic Hamas has always distanced itself from al-Qaida’s militant Islamic ideology, saying its battle is against Israel, not the West.

Bin Laden’s killing in Pakistan on Monday has touched off expectations of revenge attacks.

In Israel, police said they beefed up security around sensitive sites, including the airport, the U.S. Embassy, the U.S. consulate and areas where U.S. officials live.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld characterized the reinforcements as precautionary.

    Gaza are people who willingly elected the Hamas to govern them. Very soon their will be new elections uniting Fatah and Hamas in Gaza. Fatah is in the Weat Bank. Can anyone see what I see?

      With good reason, considering even the “TEA PARTY” House of Reps supposedly cut $38 billion from the budget. When the facts shook out of that “Bi-partisan” deal, it was found out that not only is that $38 billion realy something like $300 million, but that’s off the extra $1.2 (or more) TRILLION that Obama is spending over last years spending. If something doesn’t change soon, we will be fighting in the streets……to keep the Chinese military from occupying. Our gov’t has been selling our sovereignty for years under both Republican and Democrat “leadership.”

    I think many forget that when 9-11 happened, these pieces of human…. were partying in the streets, passing out candy and generally having a very good time celebrating the deaths of so many Americans. Then we forget and start to feel sorry for them and have to protest against Israel, talking about how they desirve a state. Then we forget that they have a state and it is called Jordan. But that is not good enough, we must destroy Israel. But God gave that land to Israel. Now we have to divide Jerusalem which is not mentioned in the unholy book of the koran. But hey, the Bible says that Jerusalem will become a stumbling block for the whole world. Yep, it is.

    He’s right on point about how government yo yos manipulate media yo yos who juggle civilian yo yos, which convert the masses into television zombies, showing yet again how deliberate and concocted their control over YOU is. When I see the words “Special Report”, I turn the television off, go to my computer and google special report. In less then five minutes I knew bin laden was terminated. The White House knew it well before the “special report” intrusion, but just had to exercise their control over your dull and uninspiring lives.

    In addition, this report deserved no more fanfare then any other special report involving the articulation of our special forces. One more rat, in a sea of rats, was killed…period. I assure you, once you get how these grease balls connive to regulate you lifestyle and pocketbook, and shut them down, you’ll experience a freedom like none other. It’s the worst bad habit you’ll ever drop. Those commercial blues will disappear, no more bad dreams about fornicating with a toothless Katy Couric, Chris Matthews doing the Macarena on your front lawn, Glen Beck peeping at you from a fallout shelter built with gold bullion, Geraldo Rivera, tossing tacos at the Taliban, Obama, using the mint presses to print everyone an autographed copy of his birth certificate. Need I go on? Government and Media, are a toxic mix, if watched in excess. But I know addictions well, and to think most of you will attempt to get this monkey off your back is preposterous at best. You’ll continue to hang on their every calculated word, while your children struggle for some of that quality attention you reserve only for these rogue cockroaches who think themselves leaders in their given fields. Which means you’ll get what they want you to get…perhaps a new car on Oprah, a new mindset on Dr Phil, a cheaper drug choice from the land of Oz, a colorful embellishment from your elected officials, a third rate film from the freak machines in Hollywood, and less control over your own life. I’m writing a book…Politics and Media for Dummies.

    Ever wonder WHY BHO suddenly called for the leaders in Egypt & Lybia to
    “ step down” and WE had no idea of what, when or how he could do that?
    And all the made up excuses to go in and remove a leader or two- based on
    “humanitarian efforts”, yet STILL it was asked,
    ” how can he just go into another country and demand their leaders to get out?

    Deals, Deals, Deals – Arrangements, arrangements and EXCHANGES.
    Watch to see IF Iran’s leader makes moves on Isreael, in particular, the Jews.
    Watch to see IF BHO pulls our troops out – ending the war.

    The BC/Citizenship issue was about to cause a MAJOR upset in America –
    SOMETHING bigger & better HAD TO HAPPEN -

    And, what happened? UBL!

    All that WE have been told about this recent events with UBL has odd endings-
    EXPECIALLY that he WAS killed BUT his body was quickly dumped-
    WHY? Doesn’t add up, right?

    Something BIG to save BHO presidency –
    To save & rocket UP his falling ratings.
    The dumb and those who are easily distracted by
    PRETTY COLORS & LIGHTS – and will boost his ratings -
    and could possibly get him re-elected.

    The liar-in-chief has pulled yet ANOTHER fast one –
    at all cost to save & put him into a Global stronger leadership position
    But, EVERYTHING he’s done ALWAYS has an area that sticks UP,
    it’s ODD and he CANNOT answer or explain –
    IF those areas are exposed – THE TRUTH WILL BE REVEALED.

    We MUST stay with the BC/Citizenship issue -
    It is the KEY TO ALL ELSE.

    We OWE this to Our Founding Fathers, Our Country, Our Selves & Our Children.

Thought about 9/11 and my thoughts at the time that my young children would not grow up in the same world as I did. As a child the closest thing we had to a terrorist was the Wicked Witch in the Wizard of Oz. She was cruel and ruthless and thought nothing of killing innocents. I was terrified of her. What terror this twisted man must have put in the hearts of my children? His death is a good thing.
