MEMRI, June 18, 2008.
Following are excerpts from an interview with Hamas Minister of Culture
‘Atallah Abu Al-Subh, which aired on Al-Aqsa TV on June 15, 2008.
“Assalam Alaykum and Allah’s mercy and blessings upon you. In the name of
Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate. May Allah give us the strength to
confront all the satans, and first and foremost, Condoleezza Rice, who has
come to the region for the sixth time since the conspiracy of Annapolis – the lie
most dangerous to the Palestinian people in recent months.
[…]
With the arrival of that black scorpion with a cobra’s head, Condoleezza, I
began to worry that she would use her venomous fangs and hiss to kill this
initiative and new spirit that we should protect.
[…]
The arrival of Condoleezza Rice is not a good sign. An even worse sign is the
meeting between the Palestinian leadership and the Zionist entity, in the
presence of that scorpion-cobra. Condoleezza Rice, you are not welcome.
[…]
Every proud Palestinian views you as a murderer, and sees the blood of the
children of Palestine between your lips and on your fangs. I pray to Allah that
you will soon slither away, along with your master who is more Zionist than the
Zionists, that murderer and criminal, whose place in history is more advanced
than that of Nero, Hulagu, Genghis Khan, Timor the Lame, Hitler, and Mussolini,
and before them that of Nimrod – that criminal murderer, little Bush, who is
striving to fan the flames in this region.
[…]
Bush believes in the same idea as the Jews: The land from the Euphrates to the
Nile is yours, oh Israel.
[…]
We must be very wary of the rotten American policies in the region, which are
represented by the scorpion-cobra Condoleezza.
[…]
Rest assured that we will foil the Zionist-American enterprise, which is
represented and implemented by the neocons, led by little Bush and the
scorpion-cobra, Condoleezza Rice. May Allah curse her and her visit. She is not
welcome.”
