Celebrating anniversary, Hamas warns of Intifada

GAZA, Dec 15 (Reuters) - Hamas threatened to launch a new uprising against Israel on Saturday when hundreds of thousands of Islamist supporters rallied in Gaza City to mark the group's 20th anniversary.
"Our people are capable of launching a third and a fourth intifada until the dawn of victory rises up," said Khaled Meshaal, the group's exiled leader, in a speech recorded on Friday at his base in Damascus.
The central square in Gaza City was awash with green flags and dozens of armed, masked men from the group's military wing patrolled in a crowd estimated at between 300,000 and 500,000.
Hamas leader in Gaza, Ismail Haniyeh, said the movement was growing more popular because of its stance against the United States and Israel.
"Today is the day of Jihad, resistance and uprising," Haniyeh said.
"Those who remain committed to the constant rights of their people, those who make an enemy of America and the Zionist occupation (Israel) gain popularity. This is Hamas."

Meshaal said Abbas, whose administration is backed by the West, lacked the support of the Palestinian people.
"Whoever thinks his legitimacy comes from the international backing is under an illusion, the legitimacy is the people," Meshaal said.
In other words, "f**k off, just send money!"
Alluding to last month's Israeli-Palestinian talks in Annapolis, Maryland, Haniyeh said conferences "will achieve nothing".
"We will never cede our land ... The choice of resistance and Jihad is the shortest way to liberate Palestine and return Jerusalem," Haniyeh said.
GRAVES ALREADY PREPARED
In another speech to the rally, senior Hamas official Mushir al-Masri warned Israel to expect many casualties if troops invade the coastal territory in an attempt to stop almost daily rocket firing by militants into Israel.
"Jews, go back, because we have already dug graves for you," Masri said. Israel carries out regular raids on Gaza and has killed dozens of militants in the past month.

"The soldier Gilad Shalit will never see freedom before our prisoners are freed," Muzaini said.
Hmmmm........Shalit. Remember how they said they had nothing to do with his abduction? Over at the IRIS blog; Strange how they are able to harm Gilad Schalit after claiming they had nothing to do with kidnapping him. Remember, a senior Fatah figure, Mohammed Dahlan, said there is little difference between Fatah and Hamas: Hamas has threatened
to harm kidnapped soldier Cpl. Gilad Schalit if the IDF carries out a large-scale operation in the Gaza Strip, Army Radio reported on Friday.
Quoting Saudi newspaper Al-Jarida, the report cites Hamas's Syrian-based leader Khaled Mashaal, saying that he made an agreement with Iranian partners to increase violence against Israel which includes a threat to harm Schalit.
In a bid to bolster Abbas, Israel has released hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in recent months, almost all of whom are aligned with his Fatah movement. Israel still holds about 10,000 Palestinian prisoners in its jails. (Writing by Ori Lewis and Nidal al-Mughrabi
