Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades: the terrifying glory of the martyrs

The braves of Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades have apparently decided to communicate the sheer terror of their existence in Hebrew, so we could all taste what is coming to us in advance. They have created a Twitter ID @alqasamhebrew* for all of us to follow and to keep the horrors in mind.

Here is an example of their visual aids:

I hope you are being sufficiently terrorized by this picture of a martyr. But I am not sure you have fully appraised the artistic qualities of the uniform and its fine design. You should also notice how useful it will be in (to take one example) the wilderness of Black Forest in Germany or somewhere in the dense woods of Maine. Not so much in the local deserts, but this is Izz ad-Din al-Qassam folks, who think big and think ahead.

Back to the specific martyr depicted above: judging by his pose and the tortured expression on his face, he may have been chosen by his commanders to test a BM in field conditions, and so far not very successful at that. But I have no doubts whatsoever that a shot or two from his big gun (ooh!), and the resulting kickback will go a long way to resolve the trouble.

Good job, all in all. Absolutely terrifying indeed. Oh, and one last thing: the caption in Hebrew under the picture says: "So who is stronger? The cowards from the Shayetet 13 or the elite fighters of Hamas? You decide."

I really don't know how to answer this one. The main problem with the answer is that the guys from Shayetet 13 are not very talkative. So I propose that the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam martyrs ask them next time they meet a few. Allah willing, that is...

(*) I am not totally sure it ain't a spoof. If it is - kudos to the author, then.

Terrifying, absolutely, no question. Especially the blue stuff on his face. I wonder if it washes off, or does he go around all day like that?

Way to go, Bradley. It's not often we get to see evolution in action.

A real man should shun washing, I guess.

Still, he went too far. If it were, say, a hamburger eating contest or something like this. But donuts, and against a cop? Only a strong death wish could incite a person to do something like that ;-)

Exactly, evolution in action, giving the shallow end of the gene pool a good scrubbing.

SnoopyTheGoon said...

Yes, that is a reasonable act then, looking at it your way.

Unless their is some martyr written up in Quran who was burned up...
