Fatah leader: Abbas's security apparatuses protect Israeli citizens
Fatah leader: Abbas's security apparatuses protect Israeli citizens
[ 06/09/2008 - 09:45 AM ]

RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- Husam Khader, the newly released prominent Fatah leader, said that the PA security apparatuses in the West Bank turned into parties protecting the security of Israeli citizens while Israel gives nothing in return, warning that there might be "another coup" against the PA in Ramallah.

In a press statement to the Israeli Haaretz newspaper, Khader castigated PA chief Mahmoud Abbas for negotiating with Israel, saying that the coup might occur because Abbas has achieved nothing in the framework of his talks with the Israeli occupation for two years, while his security apparatuses are indulged in protecting the security of Israel.

The Fatah leader underlined that anyone succeeding Abbas, who believes in negotiations and settlement process, would find himself before two options, either to resign or to start another intifada.

He pointed out that the next Intifada would not be an uprising of stones or martyrs, but an uprising of missiles and weaponry.

Khader had accused immediately upon his release from Israeli jails influential parties within Fatah and the PA of turning him in to the Israeli occupation to arrest him.

Meanwhile, a report issued by the Hamas Movement and a copy of which was received by the PIC, the IOF troops and the PA security apparatuses shared the kidnapping of about 345 Palestinian citizens during August in different West Bank areas.

The report pointed out that the IOF troops kidnapped about 175 Palestinians including two women and killed two others during more than 136 incursions into West Bank areas.

The report added that the PA security apparatuses, in the context of its role in protecting Israel's security, kidnapped about 170 Palestinians, summoned dozens of women for investigation and raided huge numbers of humanitarian institutions and commercial stores.

The views expressed here by Husam Khader regarding Abu Mazen political performance and the PA security apparatuses behaviour must come as a shock to both. These views carry so much weight and credibility as it is coming from a prominent Fatah political leader who has earned so much respect and influence within Fatah organization. Surely anyone with national conscience would feel the same. The deplorable actions of the PA security apparatuses in particular in the last few weeks have brought shame to an organization that have formed until recently the backbone of the Palestinian struggle. These contemptuous actions have been praised recently by the Israeli security officials who commenting on the performance of the security force by saying, ‘ ..marked improvement in their action against Hamas and Islamic Jihad’. These actions have tarnished the long history of struggle, pride and dignity of Fatah.

What is needed is for people like Husam together with the grassroots of Fatah to work towards restraining and bringing an end to the wild behaviour of the PA security forces whose notorious actions are destroying the chances of national reconciliation and pushing the Palestinian society to the brink of civil war. My only hope is for the respectable and honourable people in Fatah is to translate their words and views into actions in order to avoid more blood shed , divisions and widening the gap that will only serve the occupation and its solidification.
