The Role Of Ahmed Yassin In Hamas

Yassmin Abdel-Magied’s autobiography Yassmin’s Story demonstrates the themes of having an identity and having to live up to certain standards. Growing up in a difficult time of racial war due to the recent events of the September 11 attacks,

He found that the bond held between the civilians of the U.S. was equivalent to fellowship found in the Islamic religion, but the bond between the Muslim Brotherhood was something that was more meaningful to him because of his devotion to his religion. The Muslim Brotherhood is an Islamic organization that’s goal is to “build the Muslim individual.” (http://www.ummah.org.uk/ikhwan/) In order to do this they reject any other religious affiliations that do not focus on the Quran or Sunna (http://www.ummah.org.uk/ikhwan/). Because of his connection with the Muslim Brotherhood, many went on to categorize him as an “Islamist.” “An ‘Islamist’ is one who views Islam as the total way of life and desires to have Islamic law implemented in every aspect of life.” (http://www.nwe.ufl.edu/~jdouglas/F02finalart9.pdf)

As a result of such deadly terrorist attacks by Palestinian teenagers, Israel has had to introduce legislation to deal with the problem. In August 2016, the Israeli parliament (Knesset) passed a bill allowing imprisonment of terrorists as young as 12.

This horrific battle for Israel’s life started in April. It started because Israel was suffering from a brain injury. An asthma related cardiac arrest caused this. His cardiac arrest happened at the UC Davis Medical Center. While doctors did restart his heart they couldn’t fix his oxygen levels. It was reported that he went about an hour without oxygen. Doctors then determined he was brain dead.

A little after 4 a.m. on September fifth, as the Israeli athletes slept, eight members of the Black September jumped over the six-foot high fence that encircled the Olympic Village. The terrorists headed straight for 31 Connollystrasse, the building where the Israeli team was staying. Around 4:30 a.m., the terrorists entered the building. They rounded up the occupants of Apartment one and then Apartment three. Several of the Israelis fought back and two of them were killed. A several others were able to escape out windows. Nine were taken hostage (Rosenberg). In another apartment, they captured the Israeli wrestlers and weightlifters Eliezer Halfin, Yossef Romano, Mark Slavin, David Berger, and Zeev Friedman. When the fearless Israelis fought back, the Black September opened fire, killing Romano and one other person (Olympics Massacre). Once the team was taken hostage, the Palestinians dropped a list of demands out the window. In return for the hostages, the terrorists demanded 234 prisoners released from Israeli prisons and two from German prisons by 9 a.m. (Rosenberg).

The Olympic Massacre, which turned out to be a huge international event, was the brainchild of Muhammad “Abu” Daoud. Abu Daoud was first introduced to the public eye when he was in charge of Al Fatah’s central intelligence operation in the Jordanian capital, Amman. During the time he became a member of Fatah’s executive unit, the Revolutionary Council, he developed the plan for the Olympic Massacre. In February of 1973, he tried to carry out an unsuccessful plan against King Hussein, who had driven Palestinians out of Jordan two and a half years earlier after the Jordanian Civil War. Whilst traveling in France under a false name, he was sentenced to death by the police; Daoud got out of his sentence by giving up information on his organization to Jordanian intelligence. During Abu Daoud’s visit to a Warsaw hotel coffee shop on July 27, 1981, he was shot 13 times by who he claimed was a Palestinian double agent but survived and tried to chase down the shooter before collapsing at the front entrance. In 1999, he admitted his role in the massacre in his autobiography, Memoirs of a Palestinian Terrorist. He claimed that the athletes were never meant to be harmed and blamed the deaths on the German police and the stubbornness of the Israeli Prime Minister, Golda Meir. On December 27, 2005, Daoud publicly announced that he had no

The Deir Yassin massacre took place on April 9, 1948 when 120 fighters from the Irgun and Lehi attacked Deir Yassin, a Palestinian Arab village near Jerusalem. The village guards were surprised by the Jews entering their village at night and opened fire on the Irgun force. The village fell after fierce house-to-house fighting. 254 people had been killed 117 during the fight and the rest while they were they were recovering. The Irgun force approached Deir Yassin and arrived at the edge of the village at 4:30am. The fighting began at 4:45 and a gun-battle broke out. The fighting was over by 11am. The attack on the village was important because in the view of Irgun and Lehi it posed a threat to Jewish neighborhoods and the main road to the coastal

He further strengthened his relationship with Al-Qaeda and Ayman Zawahiri, leader of Al-Qaida endorsed his leadership. Meanwhile he asked ISIL leader, Abubakar Albaghdadi to support him and avoid creating any parallel structure. ISIL did not pledge to support him and he announced Jihad against ISIL across the country.

The Islamic revolution or the Iranian revolution of 1979, refers to the overthrow of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi the president who was supported by the united states and eventually replaced by Grand Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of the revolution. During this period, people were stript of their freedoms in areas such as freedom of speech, dress, education, and political views. Many were captured by the government claiming that they were ultimately evil and went against the well of god, their crimes varied from reading a western novel to not wearing the hijab properly (regardless of one's religion). Which generated the term political prisoner, a person is considered a political prisoner if they are imprisoned for exercising their right

The rise of Zionism and Arab Nationalism in the nineteenth century triggered major political tensions in the region of Palestine. The conflict among the Zionists and Arab Nationalists is primarily due to the politics of territory and is essentially not comprised of religious opposition. In fact, before the advent of Zionism and Arab Nationalism, Jews and Palestinians shared a local identity due to mutual tolerances. This identity, which took precedence over religion, created a vivacious community with its own unique set of traditions and customs shared among the Jews, Muslims and Christians. However, following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the Zionists whom were seeking a safe haven from Jewish prejudices in mainly Eastern Europe, proclaimed their return to Palestine. Zionists sought the territory of Palestine as the ‘official land of the Jews’ because of their ancient homeland ties. Furthermore, as Zionism progressed, Arabs Nationalists were threatened by the ideology and the vast Jewish immigration to Palestine. In the Arab point of view, Zionism emerged as a European movement, which appeared to be another attempt by Western imperialism to subordinate Muslims to Europeans. Although Arab Nationalism and Zionism were similar in nature, these two identities were destined to clash primarily due to their irreconcilable nationalistic aspirations and cultural characteristics.

Gaza-SP- For the first time Israel's Maariv newspaper revealed Ghilad Syalith testimony, one of the Israeli soldiers who became prisoners of Palestinian militants (Hamas) for five years in the Gaza Strip.

Fatah is a noteworthy Palestinian political gathering that started in 1965 as the Palestinian National Liberation Movement. Yasser Arafat and companions from Algeria established the association, which was initially restricted to the Palestine Liberation Organization that is today one of the biggest fear associations on the planet. With Syrian support, Fatah began propelling fear based oppressor assaults against Israeli focuses in January 1965 from Jordan, Lebanon and Egyptian-involved Gaza. Fatah completed many assaults only against non military personnel focuses in its initial years. In the wake of assuming control over the PLO in 1968, its ubiquity among the Palestinian open diminished essentially. Today, Fatah is the PLO's most noticeable

in mosques with social and welfare services, delivered through a network of clinics, schools, charities, drug treatment centers, and even sports clubs . However, since 1988, with the onset of the fist intifada, Hamas has followed an oscillatory pattern of violence and social charitable work. During the first and second intifada, Hamas inspired the greater Palestinian public to support violent means to incite change in the region. Conversely, during the Oslo peace process, when the majority of Palestinians did not condone the level of violence that was seen during the first intifada, Hamas dedicated more time towards their social roots, ultimately increasing their grassroots support. During these lulls in violence with Israel, Hamas successfully institutionalized Islamism in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. According to Sarah Roy, by 2000, 10 to 40 percent of all social institutions in the West Bank and Gaza were Islamic . Arguably, these expanded new areas of Islamic social
