In a speech to Fatah leaders in Ramallah on Thursday, the oh so '
Moderate' '
Palestinian' President
Mahmoud Abbas Abu Mazen accused Israel of
seeking a third intifada. Meanwhile, Abu Mazen's primary military force, the al-Aqsa 'Martyrs' Brigades, announced that they are just awaiting orders.
Addressing Fatah leaders in Ramallah, Abbas said that Israel was
“apparently seeking to create confusion and chaos in the Palestinian
territories.”
Referring to the killing of two Palestinian teenagers near Tulkarem
earlier Thursday, Abbas asked: “How can peaceful demonstrations lead to
the death of two martyrs and before that others? Allah knows what is
going on.”
Charging a guard post with Molotov cocktails (seven were found at the scene afterward) is a 'peaceful demonstration'? Oh and by the way, the unit that was manning that post was Netzach Yehuda... the Nachal Charedi unit....
Abbas said that Israel’s actions show that it wants a “security
escalation” in the Palestinian territories. “If Israel really cared
about security, it would not be using lethal force against
demonstrators,” he added.
And if the 'Palestinians' really wanted to keep the quiet, they wouldn't use the death of a terrorist from malignant cancer as an excuse to stir up the pot.
He added that Israel alone bears full responsibility for what is
happening on Thursday and in the future. “Apparently Israel wants a
third intifada,” Abbas continued. “They want to avoid fulfilling their
obligations. They are apparently not interested, as a matter of
principle, in any step toward peace.”
Israel has nothing to gain from a third intifada. But apparently the 'Palestinians' think they have something to gain.
Meanwhile, armed members of Fatah’s armed wing, Aqsa Martyrs Brigades,
told reporters in Hebron that they are waiting for a “green light” from
Abbas to “respond to Israeli crimes.”
The gunmen spoke to reporters during the funeral of prisoner Maissara Abu Hamdiyeh, who died on Tuesday of cancer.
What could go wrong?
Somebody sent me an email warning that I feel I should pass on. It says, "Don't die a virgin. Seriously, there's a bunch of terrorists up there waiting for you."
