'Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades' has 'Israeli Arab' terror cell in Jerusalem

A 'spokesman' for 'moderate' 'Palestinian President' Mahmoud Abbas Abu Mazen's Fatah's 'al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades' told WorldNetDaily today that his terror group has a terror cell based in Jerusalem that consists of 'Israeli Arabs' who hold Israeli citizenship and carry blue Israeli identity cards just like Israeli Jews. It's the same cell that carried out Saturday night's terror attack along the periphery road. The problem is exacerbated because the number of 'Israeli Arabs living in Jerusalem has increased over the past several months, as 'Palestinians' are trying to move into Jerusalem to be inside the 'security fence.'

"We have Israeli Arab brothers who are members of the Brigades who live in Israel and will make in the coming days and weeks shootings and suicide bombings," said the Brigades leader, who spoke on the condition his name be withheld.

"Even in the case that there will be a cease-fire in Gaza, will keep attacking Israel. They will see the importance of our cells in Jerusalem with more attacks in the near future," the Brigades leader said.

...

The Brigades leader told WND the purported cells of Israeli Arabs living within the Jewish state are "full members of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades. They are ready to attack at any time."

...

Yuval Diskin, director of Israel's General Security Services, recently warned of Israeli Arab involvement in terror. Diskin told Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in March that Israeli Arabs constituted a "strategic threat" to Israel, according to Israel's Maariv newspaper.

The GSS released a statement in response to Diskin's quotes warning of "subversive activity by elements seeking to harm the character of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state even when this activity is conducted with the tools that democracy provides."

...

A recent poll by the University of Haifa showed half of Israeli Arabs believe Hezbollah's kidnapping last July of two Israeli troops was justified. The same poll showed more than a quarter of Israel's Arab citizens believe the Holocaust never happened and 89 percent said they viewed Israel's bombing of Lebanon last summer as a war crime while only 44 percent said they saw Hezbollah's rocket attacks against Israeli cities as a crime.

Multiple reports in the Israeli media last summer found Hezbollah flags flying from some Israeli Arab villages in the north of the country, even when the areas were smashed by Hezbollah rockets.

But give the 'Palestinians' a state reichlet in Judea, Samaria and Gaza and they'll leave us alone in the rest of the country. Right Feigele?
