Fatah member: Abbas Recognition of Israel Political, By Aaron Klein (WND)
“Our Fatah movement keeps dreaming of Tel Aviv, Haifa, Jaffa and Akko”
Commentary;
“Land for Peace” and all of it’s synonyms and euphemisms, i.e. convergence, consolidation, realignment, security fences, etc. ought to be killed and cremated. The concept is not even worthy of burial. It envisions nothing more than the separation of Israelis from their Jewish roots and heritage. It is nothing more than the fruition of all of the self-doubt which the post-zionist elitists have brainwashed the average Israeli into believing. MB
Excerpts;
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’ stated recognition of Israel’s right to exist is part of a “political calculation” aimed at ultimately destroying the Jewish state, a terror group leader and member of Abbas’ Fatah party told WND in an interview.
The leader said the Fatah party does not recognize Israel and that any final accord that doesn’t include flooding the Jewish state with millions of Palestinians will not be supported by the Fatah party and will lead to Palestinian civil war.
“The base of our Fatah movement keeps dreaming of Tel Aviv, Haifa, Jaffa and Akko,” said Abu Ahmed, Fatah member and leader of the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades in the northern Gaza Strip. “There is no change in our position. Abbas recognizes Israel because of pressure that the Zionists and the Americans are exercising on him. We understand this is part of his obligations and political calculations.”
The Brigades is the declared “military wing” of Abbas’ Fatah party. Together with the Islamic Jihad terror group, the Brigades has taken responsibility for every suicide bombing inside Israel the past two years, including an attack in Tel Aviv this past April that killed an American teenager and nine Israelis. The Brigades also has carried out scores of deadly shooting and rocket attacks against Israeli civilians in recent months.
Brigades leaders are members of Fatah. The terror group’s founder, Marwan Barghouti, is an elected Fatah official and is largely considered one of the most popular Fatah figures. Several top Brigades members serve in Abbas’ Force 17 personal security detail.
