Our priorities require that all children of Palestine, men and women, be ready for conflict, both from the standpoint of training and from the standpoint of armament.

And as Ahmed Yassin does so I hope Ahmed Yassin keeps consequences in mind as to how to make sure we stay on the path to peace. In 1997 Yassin was released from Israeli prison as part of an arrangement with Jordan following the failed assassination attempt of Khaled Mashal which had been conducted by the Israeli Mossad in Jordan. We will fight them until the liberation of Palestine the whole of Palestine.

Yassin also served as the spiritual leader of the organization. Sheikh Ahmed Ismail Hassan Yassin (1937 – 22 March 2004) (Arabic: الشيخ أحمد إسماعيل حسن ياسين‎ ash-shaykh Aḥmad Ismāʻīl Ḥasan Yāsīn) was a founder of Hamas an Islamist Palestinian paramilitary organization and political party. He was assassinated when an Israeli helicopter gunship fired a missile at him as he was being wheeled from early morning prayers.
