Osama bin Laden calls for new jihad over Israeli offensive in Gaza - 2009

Osama bin Laden has called for a new jihad over the Israeli offensive in Gaza, through an audio recording posted on Islamist websites in which he questioned America's stomach for the fight.

The authenticity of the recording could not be verified immediately, but it appeared to be a typically provocative message from the al-Qaeda leader, taunting the United States as it prepares to hand the presidential baton from George W Bush to Barack Obama.

"God has bestowed us with the patience to continue the path of jihad for another seven years, and seven and seven years," bin Laden said on the tape dated in the current Islamic month. "The question is, can America continue its war with us for several more decades to come? Reports and evidence would suggest otherwise."

The tape, entitled A Call for Jihad to Stop the Aggression against Gaza, came as the reported death toll from the 19-day Israeli offensive against Hamas rose to 971. Thirteen Israelis have been killed so far.

Bin Laden last appeared in an audio tape in May and also focused on Gaza, calling on Muslims to try to help to end the blockade of the area. The al-Qaeda leader has placed growing emphasis on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in recent years and today's audio tape was accompanied by a still of bin Laden and a picture of the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, Islams third holiest shrine.

In Gaza itself, Israeli military aircraft and helicopter gunships pounded 60 targets overnight, including rocket-launching sites, gunmen, weapons-production and storage facilities and about 35 tunnels used to smuggle weapons, the military said.

Aircraft also struck the Sheikh Radwan cemetery in Gaza City, destroying about 30 graves — some only recently dug —and scattering flesh and body parts across the graveyard.

"There was flesh on the roofs, there was small bits of intestines. My neighbour found a hand of a woman who died a long time ago, we put it all into a plastic bag," said Ahmad Abu Jarbou, a local resident.

In Egypt, the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon, starting a week-long trip to the region, repeated his call for an immediate halt to the fighting.

My call is [for] an immediate end to violence in Gaza, and then to the Israeli military offensive and a halt to rocket attacks by Hamas," he told reporters after meeting President Mubarak. "It is intolerable that civilians bear the brunt of this conflict."

As Israeli leaders mull an escalation of the conflict — a direct land assault on Gaza City — fears of a second front were raised this morning when three rockets fired from Lebanon slammed into northern Israel.

"Rockets fell in northern Israel without causing injuries or damage," an Israeli army spokesman said of the second in a week. "The Israeli army responded immediately by firing in the direction from where the rockets were launched."

Listen people, i dont care what you say. but this tape is a bloody FAKE!!!

Its just another propaganda video created by the CIA to justify Obama's plan to send more troops to Afganistan. END OF STORY!!!

your people have no 'taste for restraint' you ignorant waste of space. have you seen the faces of the starving children lying beside the corpses of their dead mothers denied immediate aid? the killings of entire families? the lack of access to food or water? my people have been forced to flee their homes only to find there is nowhere else to go and even in places they expect to find refuge they are met by death. this is a modern holocaust. may God forgive you.

osama bin laden is a lion

[monabang]

Bin Laden was executed in fall of 2001 and confirmed by MI5.

What you are witnessing is US and Israel propaganda on the arab world with the staged 911 event. Check your facts and stop being like sheep. The corporate media is designed to mislead you so it can profit from this chaos.

1:WAGE JIHAD AGAINST CRISTIANS,ATHESIST,JEWS IN EVERY POSIBLE MANNARE

Rejection of Muslims who have strayed from the path of Islam

2:NO ONE SHOULD BE SAFE WITHOUT SUBMITTING TO ISLAM

INFIDEL LEAVING HOME SHOULD BE UNSURE WHETEHR HE WILL RETURN BACK

THE WEST HAS NO STOMACK FOR A LONG FIGHT

ONLY USA IS STILL CAPABLE TO RESIST

Refer to the book "Governance in the Wilderness"(Edarat al-Wahsh

[gjylymsere]

if the artificial state of terror/"israel" would stop occupiyng, kilingg, deny them rights to live, go to school and work, where would be peace. Israel had a choice and it chose land over peace.!

ok, gotcha but you disapproved of me giving that name and you didn't give a reason why? So "wow" to you. If I was incorrect and you have no answer then why make a comment. Use common sense.
