A spokesman for Hamas in Gaza, Dr Abd Al-Aziz al-Rantisi was one of the most forceful proponents for the right of Palestinians to resist occupation.
He described himself as one of the seven founders of Hamas and was considered by many as second only in importance to the group's crippled spiritual leader, Shaikh Ahmad Yasin.
Yasin was assassinated in a similar missile attack by Israel in March.
A paediatrician by training, Dr al-Rantisi was a popular figure in Gaza and defended any and all means that would force Israeli troops and illegal settlers to leave Palestine.
(...)
A committed Islamist, al-Rantisi rose to prominence with Hamas during the first Palestinian Intifada in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Note that this profile sycophantic terrorist love-fest contains no mention of his terroristic activities.

You're not accusing Al-Jazeera of being a mouthpiece for

terrorism worldwide, are you ??

I find that hard to believe.:eyes:

When it gives bios of Sharon or other terrorists, and forgets to mention their past?

These days, those guys who are considerate enough to dance in front of the cameras and make their routines well known actually have damn little to do with what you refer to as "terrorist activities".

of Bush and Sharon ...

"Abd al-Aziz Rantissi was born in Yubna, near Jaffa. In 1948, his family moved to the Gaza Strip. He was an outstanding student. He completed his secondary school education in 1965 and was admitted as a student to the faculty of medicine at Alexandria University (Egypt). He graduated in 1972, returned to Gaza for two years, and than obtained a masters degree in Pediatrics.

Rantissi studied in Egypt for nine years and received a degree in pediatric medicine."

Rantissi never killed anyone, yet apparently the death penalty is meted out for conspiracy nowadays.

Un-frickin-believable.

if you say anything against the "man" you die and it`s called middle eastern democracy.

like the jpost isn't ...;)

yes, I will admit thats one sided ..
