* One of our “peace-partners” from moderate Fatah unashamedly tells the truth: Arafart-bastard was as false as a 13-dollar bill:

Following are excerpts from an interview with Sultan Abu Al-Einen, the leader of Fatah in Lebanon, which aired on Al-Quds TV on April 6, 2009.

“When We Examine the Negative Aspects of the Oslo Accords, We Should Also Look At Their Other Aspects”

Sultan Abu Al-Einen: “It was the resistance that led to the Oslo Accords. The Israeli enemy still does not recognize the Right of Return, but 250,000 Palestinians have returned to their homeland [as part of the Oslo Accords]. The weapons that were used against the Israeli enemy in Gaza and elsewhere – the Palestinian Authority takes pride in…”

Interviewer: “You are talking about the 40,000 guns…”

Sultan Abu Al-Einen: “More than 40,000 guns.”

Interviewer: “You said that weapons were brought in through different means…”

Sultan Abu Al-Einen: “I want to talk about the weapons that were brought in as part of the agreement. These weapons were used in various times and places, and some people who returned from exile and bore these arms were martyred. When we examine the negative aspects of the Oslo Accords, we should also look at their other aspects.”[...]

“Arafat Was a Man of Contradictions… He Would Condemn Martyrdom Operations…But At the Same Time… Finance Them”

“Yasser Arafat was a man of contradictions. He could declare one thing, issue a contradictory order, and do something to the contrary at the same time.”

Interviewer: “Is this something to be proud of or ashamed of?”

Sultan Abu Al-Einen: “This is to his credit. Yasser Arafat was a multi-faceted man. Yasser Arafat would condemn and criticize martyrdom operations. He used to condemn these operations with very harsh words, but at the same time, the martyr Yasser Arafat used to finance these military operations.”

JAFFA, Israel – Hamas terrorists were in for a surprise yesterday when Palestinian gunmen from a rival group tried to escape a Hamas siege by dressing as women.

The gunmen were attempting to flee a Hamas crackdown on a powerful clan affiliated with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah organization. Hamas suspected the clan was harboring Palestinians responsible for a series of bombings last week that killed five Hamas members.

Yesterday’s clashes left nine dead and over 80 wounded in the most violent round yet of Hamas’ weeklong confrontation with rival Fatah.

(Story continues below)

Hamas forces yesterday surrounded the Shejaia district of Gaza City to arrest about a dozen people suspected of a role in last weekend’s bombing, which took place on the Gaza beachfront and apparently targeted Hamas members. Hamas suspected the Fatah-linked Hilles clan, which dominates Shejaia, of involvement in the bombings and of hiding the perpetrators.

Clan head Ahmed Hilles formerly served as the PA’s security chief in Gaza, but later switched over to Hamas. He is now accused of doing bidding for Fatah.

The Hamas siege prompted exchanges of gunfire and rocket-propelled-grenade attacks between the terror group and the well-armed Hilles family, many members of which are suspected of involvement in terrorism against Israel.

But Hamas eventually dominated the clan, storming several high-rise buildings and arresting rooftop snipers, gunmen and wounded fighters.

At one point, Hamas arrested 15 Hilles clan members, including 10 who had tried to flee disguised as women, Hamas spokesman Islam Shahwan said.

During the clashes, Ahmed Hilles phoned PA President Abbas, who then worked with Egyptian mediators to arrange for safe passage of 150 top Fatah-Hilles gunmen from Gaza to enter Israel, where many of the wounded received treatment.

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak instructed Israel Defense Forces troops manning border crossings to allow the fleeing Gazans’ entry into the Jewish state, where the wounded were brought to a hospital and uninjured gunmen were transferred to the West Bank.

Fatah, which was largely expelled from Gaza last summer, retaliated against Hamas in the West Bank, where Fatah maintains more control, although Hamas is starting to dominate many West Bank villages. Abbas’ group arrested multiple Hamas leaders in the West Bank and also briefly kidnapped a Hamas-affiliated professor, threatening to kill him unless Hamas ceased its Gaza siege. Eventually the professor was released unharmed.

Gaza Anomalies Blow PCP’s Circuits: Result – The Sounds of Silence

Filed under: Arab-Israeli Conflict, Demopaths and Dupes, Media, Palestinian Culture, black hearts — Richard Landes @ 7:08 pm — Print This Post

A few friends of mine went to a party in Jerusalem that was primarily made up Anglophone reporters, people who work for NGOs and UN agencies. What amazed them was the pervasive sense of the people they met and spoke with that Israel was the greatest human rights violator in the world and that the dismantling of Israel would be a great step forward for global human rights.

Now the idiocy of this position, the suicidal nature of this strategy to advance human rights is nothing short of breathtaking. Take Israel out of the Middle East and the region becomes nothing but Hama rules… especially when the nastiest people — those who want to destroy Israel — would feel empowered by such a victory. But try and tell that to people who are smart enough to believe they can’t be wrong, and credulous enough to believe the demopaths who pull their chains on a daily basis. And as a result, they are prime targets for ahate campaign against Israel.

The latest news from Gaza, Israel, and the West Bank illustrates all the anomalies involved in this fundamental failure of the “human rights” community to understand what’s going on: black hearts and red spades galore. Melanie Phillips has a superb column which analyzes the current, mind-boggling situation in the Arab-Israeli conflict, with the Fatah “refugees” from Gaza seeking asylum in Israel.

Refugees From Whom?
The Spectator MONDAY, 4TH AUGUST 2008
Melanie Phillips

Extraordinary developments in Gaza have given a new meaning to the term ‘Palestinian refugees’. As the Jerusalem Post reports, fierce fighting in Gaza between Fatah and Hamas over the weekend, in which 11 people died and dozens more were wounded, resulted in 180 Fatah refugees fleeing from what they called a ‘war of genocide’ by Hamas against Fatah supporters. And where did they flee to? Why, to Israel, of course — which allowed them in and proceeded to treat 23 of them (some of whom were wounded by the Israeli army after they approached the crossing into Israel) in Israeli hospitals.

This is one of the most important anomalies for those who follow the current PCP narrative about the Middle East in which Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people explain the ferocious hatred of the Palestinians for the Israelis. According to that version of events — largely the one that liberals have taken over by adopting thePalestinian narrative of suffering — the last place these Palestinian “warriors” would go was Israel, their mortal enemy who is trying to commit suicide against their people. If the Israelis want to wipe out Palestinian civilians, how much the more would they want to kill Palestinian “militants”?

And yet, this is not a new story. When King Hussein, “the moderate,” found himself dealing with a restive Palestinian population in 1970, he slaughtered some 10,000 of them — men, women and children — in “Black September.” The Palestinians fled his tender mercies across the Jordan to Israel where the Israelis, obligingly, shipped them over to Lebanon, where, within five years, they plunged that unhappy land into a seven-year war that killed over 100,000 civilians. When Israel finally put an end to that civil war by invading in 1982, and the Phalanage took advantage of their upper hand to slaughter several hundred Palestinians at Sabra and Shatilla in revenge for Damur, the terrified inhabitants of the camps ran immediately to the Israeli positions outside the camp for protection. Why? Because they knew, despite all the “narratives” that when the chips are down, you can expect more mercy from the Jews than your fellow Arabs.

These are revelatory moments, when you see not the “public transcript” but what people really think. In honor-shame cultures they can be deeply embarrassing, since the public transcript is the “honorable” one, and the revelations that reverse that — like in the story of the Emperor’s New Clothes — are almost by definition shameful. Participants might prefer not to remember these, might even seek to reverse them by insisting still more shrilly on the original “narrative.” But outsiders need to pay close attention, because these rare moments are infinitely more revealing than the “public transcript.”

These refugees say they cannot return to Gaza because they will be killed. How fortunate, therefore, that their own Fatah leader, Mahmoud Abbas, can give them sanctuary in the West Bank!

But hang on – Abbas won’t let them in. Yup, with the exception of five individuals whom he did allow in, he’s denied them all sanctuary. He says they should go back to Gaza.

Before we get into the explanations proferred, let me make a medievalist’s remark. This is a staggering act of cowardice. Any warlord has to protect his men above all. If he fails to do so, he loses their loyalty. To refuse safety to men who have suffered from their adherence to your banner — unless it was their fault — shows your weakness.

And the invaluable Khaled abu Toameh tells us the reason why:

PA officials explained that the reason behind their refusal to absorb the new ‘refugees’ was their desire not to encourage other residents of the Gaza Strip to leave. ‘Everyone knows that if we allow people to leave the Gaza Strip, almost all the residents living there would try to cross the border into Israel,’ said a senior PA official.

More revelations: how do people vote with their feet? Talk to an advocate of PCP and he or she will insist on Hamas’ popularity in Gaza, on the fact that were there another election they’d win again. Public transcript reified.

But check the hidden transcript and you find out some very different sentiments. 70%, according to some estimates, would prefer to have the Israelis return. The voices that openly express both admirationand longing for Israeli rule are nothing short of astonishing. They’re also shameful for the alpha male hyper-testosteronic Palestinian spokesmen whom our MSM chose to credit with speaking for the Palestinian people. And so we don’t hear about them much.

But there was also another reason:

The last thing Abbas needs is another 180 bitter Fatah thugs from the Gaza Strip patrolling the streets of Ramallah, Bethlehem and Nablus and imposing a reign of terror on the local population. Past experience has shown that the Palestinians in the West Bank have never been enthusiastic about the presence of their brethren from the Gaza Strip among them.

This remark illuminates the inferred comments above: the reason that the Palestinian commoners, if allowed to voice their own opinion without the pressures of an honor-shame driven public opinion and the threat of reprisal by the mafiosi running the show, prefer the Israelis is that Israeli enemies show more respect for them — their lives and their rights — than their own leaders. What does a “human rights” advocate do with this data?

So now Israel, with its iron commitment to human rights, is to hear a court case today where it will be argued that Israel has a moral duty to grant asylum to these Fatah men.

Well one thing a good “human rights” advocate like the folks at the party mentioned in the introduction might do is scoff: “Israel’s iron clad commitment to human rights?!?!? You must be kidding.” That’s an unthinkable thought because for them, even if they’ve gotten it wrong, it can only be by degree… slightly exaggerated, maybe, but not completely wrong. Not inverted. For them it would simply not make sense for a Gazan to say, “during the Israeli occupation, I was 100 times freer [than under the Palestinian Authority].“

It cannot enter their minds as a working hypothesis that Israeli violations of Palestinian rights — the checkpoints, the barrier, the restrictions, the military attacks with their incidence of civilian casualties — are highly restrained responses to a brutal political culture that has as much contempt and disregard for its own people as it does hatred and loathing of its enemies. This political culture attempts not to violate Israelis rights, but massacre them outright, all the while firing on them from their own civilian habitations so as to amplify the number of their own people who, they can claim, are victims of Zionist aggression.

Therefore none of these anomalies can penetrate their iron clad commitment to PCP (probably PCP2 — Post-colonial paradigm). If I’m talking about you and you’re still reading, try to follow Phillips’ reasoning here and you might find some bitter ironies worth savoring:

So let’s get our head round this: Palestinians committed to the destruction of Israel fled from other Palestinians committed to the destruction of Israel into Israel, which is providing them with sanctuary and medical treatment, while the president of their putative state who bases his claim against Israel on its alleged refusal to admit Palestinian ‘refugees’ refused to allow actual Palestinian refugees fleeing Palestinian violence access to that same putative state, while Israel agonises over whether to grant them permanent asylum. Surreal, or what?

Hard to ask for a better formulation of the Middle Eastern world through the PCP looking glass.

One of the Fatah men said that

he too was wounded at the beginning of the clashes. The father of three, who has undergone surgery in his leg, said he first tried to go to a hospital in Gaza City, but was blocked by Hamas. ‘Hamas had closed all the roads leading to the hospital. I wanted to go to Shifa Hospital [in Gaza City], but Hamas did not allow any ambulance to enter our area. In the end, my brother drove me to the Israeli border,’ he said. When asked if he wanted to go back to the Gaza Strip, he replied: ‘It would be like a death sentence for me. I hope they don’t force us to go back.’

Note here how often the Palestinians complain about Israeli checkpoints — which exist to keep out suicide terrorists — forcing women to give birth without reaching the hospital. But in their own culture, closing off hospitals to people whose lives are in danger is an ordinary tactic. Classic demopaths, they complain of Israeli misdeeds which are but the most venal version of practices they adopt at convenience.

Closed the roads leading to the hospital… not allowing ambulances to enter the area to collect the wounded… When reading the coverage of these clashes later today in the British press or watching and listening to it on the BBC, just consider what that coverage would have been like if it had been Israel rather than Hamas that had behaved like this. The Jerusalem Post reports:

At least 12 of those who were wounded in Saturday’s fighting were under the age of 15…

What is that unfamiliar sound emanating from all those who routinely scream that Israel kills Palestinian children? It is called silence.

The ultimate shame of Palestinian/Arab/Muslim culture, and the ultimate revelation of their addiction to demopathy can be found in the following appalling verity: Muslim Arabs have more rights in Israel than not the Jews have, but than their fellow Arabs have in any Arab or Muslim state in the world. For Israel to go would be a catastrophe of untold proportions for human rights.

For all those progressives who love phrases like “speaking truth to power” and “the only thing necessary for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing” — where is your voice?

Jewicidal Jews support terrorists: ‘returning Fatah ‘refugees’ to Gaza violates their human rights’

Watchdog petitions Israeli court against return of Fatah refugees to Gaza per instructions of Abbas

KHALED ABU TOAMEH and YAAKOV KATZ , THE JERUSALEM POST

The Association for Civil Right in Israel petitioned the High Court of
Justice on Sunday to prevent the state from returning Fatah refugees to Gaza
after they fled the territory on Saturday.

The petitioners stated that forcing the Fatah loyalists to return to the
Strip could endanger their lives and called it a serious violation of human
rights and of Israeli law.

The court ordered the state to respond to the petition by Monday.

Abu Maazen rejects his own people:

Earlier on Sunday, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas refused to grant West
Bank asylum to dozens of supporters who fled Hamas-ruled Gaza to Israel
under fire, during fierce factional fighting.

Soldier escorts Fatah supporters near the Gaza border

* Ironic, isn’t it? The evil Jooozzz, the victims of Islamic terror and annihilation, provide shelter and refuge for their Pali-killers.

Abbas stood his ground, with aides explaining that he felt his embattled
Fatah group must maintain a presence in Gaza. The escape posed a dilemma for
Abbas. After the Hamas takeover of Gaza last summer, he had agreed to
resettle some 250 of his Gaza loyalists in the West Bank.

The “Palestinian” Authority has asked Israel, which gave refuge to nearly 200, and gave free medical care to two dozen wounded, members or supporters of Fatah who had fled Gaza, not to keep them, nor to transfer them to the Arab-occupied “West Bank,” but to send them back to Gaza.

The reason, as given by a “Palestinian” member of the Slow Jihad (Fatah) quoted in a Jerusalem Post article, is this: “Everyone knows that if we allow people to leave the Gaza Strip, almost all the residents living there would try to cross the border into Israel,” said a senior PA official. “We don’t want to leave the Gaza Strip to Hamas.”

They would — “almost all” of them, “try to cross the border into Israel.”

You know — into Israel, to which every Arab who can, whenever faced with Arab enemies — as the members of Black September were by Jordanian King Hussein’s men (they waded crossed the Jordan, their hands raised, knowing that the Israelis would not harm them but would take them in) or the Fatah supporters now fleeing into Israel — that country, the country routinely denounced as “Nazi-like” or even “worse than the Nazis” (we all remember how the Nazis offered free medical care to Jews and other benefits, so that they would always flee to Nazi-held territory whenever they could). That country.

Don’t forget this kind of telling display, and the even more telling comment by a Fatah official. Don’t forget it, and don’t forget to remind others, when they go into their Guardian-or-BBC or World-Council-of-Churches or Amnesty-International or Human-Rights-Watch or United-Nations slander-and-rant against Israel. Remember not to forget.

Analysis: Why Abbas doesn’t want Fatah ‘refugees’ in West Bank

By KHALED ABU TOAMEH

The Palestinian Authority’s refusal to receive members of the Hilles clan who fled the Gaza Strip Saturday did not come as a surprise to many Palestinians.

SLIDESHOW: Pictures of the week

Although the Hilles clan has long been known for its loyalty to Fatah, the PA leadership in Ramallah asked Israel Sunday to send almost all those who fled the Gaza Strip back home.

For many of the Hilles clan members, returning to the Gaza Strip is tantamount to a death sentence. However, this did not stop the PA from asking the men to return home.

PA officials explained that the reason behind their refusal to absorb the new “refugees” was their desire not to encourage other residents of the Gaza Strip to leave.

“Everyone knows that if we allow people to leave the Gaza Strip, almost all the residents living there would try to cross the border into Israel,” said a senior PA official. “We don’t want to leave the Gaza Strip to Hamas.”

Yet there are also other reasons why PA President Mahmoud Abbas doesn’t want the new refugees in the West Bank.

One is related to Abbas’s fear that the presence of the Hilles “refugees” in Ramallah and other West Bank cities would damage his efforts to impose law and order there.

The powerful Hilles clan had established their own “mini-state” in the Gaza Strip, where they had their own extraterritorial “security zone” and militia.

The clan, which has long been affiliated with Fatah, had a military training base and a number of small factories for manufacturing various types of weapons.

Several members of the clan were also involved in various types of criminal activities, including murder, rape, kidnappings and extortion, according to sources in the Gaza Strip.

Bringing dozens of these clan members into the West Bank would have caused a big headache for Abbas, who is still facing difficulties in reining in numerous Fatah gangs that are continuing to roam the streets of West Bank cities and villages.

The last thing Abbas needs is another 180 bitter Fatah thugs from the Gaza Strip patrolling the streets of Ramallah, Bethlehem and Nablus and imposing a reign of terror on the local population.

Past experience has shown that the Palestinians in the West Bank have never been enthusiastic about the presence of their brethren from the Gaza Strip among them.

Shortly after the establishment of the PA in 1994, former PA Chairman Yasser Arafat deployed dozens of policemen from the Gaza Strip in a number of West Bank cities. This resulted in an “intifada” by the residents of these cities, many of whom openly rejected the presence of the Gazans in their communities. In many cases, West Bank families refused to rent out apartments to the “undesirables” from the Gaza Strip.

The experience was repeated in June 2007 when hundreds of Fatah members fled the Gaza Strip following Hamas’s violent takeover of the area. Most of those who arrived in Ramallah are still finding it impossible to rent apartments in the city.

Many others continue to be shunned by local residents who treat them with great suspicion and often mock them for escaping from Hamas. A former Fatah security commander who was among the June 2007 “refugees” said recently that he had stopped going to public places in Ramallah because he felt that he was “unwanted” and because of the “ridiculing” looks he got from people.

Even the 150 Fatah men who fled to Egypt following the Hamas takeover have not been welcome there or in any other Arab country. In a recent letter to Abbas, the Fatah men, all former residents of the Gaza Strip, complained that they were being held in “military bases” belonging to the Egyptian army and were being treated as criminals rather than political refugees.

* Those evil Jooozzz won’t give Fatah thugs medical care unless they spy on other Pals!

JERUSALEM (CNN) – Israeli agents have been pressuring sick Palestinians to become informants in exchange for permission to leave Gaza for medical care, a human rights group said Monday.

Palestinian families leave Gaza through the Erez Crossing in 2007.

Agents interrogate Gazans who want to enter Israel for medical care about their relatives, neighbors and friends — and those who don’t cooperate often don’t get travel clearance, said the group, Physicians for Human Rights-Israel.

But David Baker, spokesman for the Israeli government, said any allegation that receiving medical treatment is contingent on providing intelligence information is “ludicrous.”

Since Hamas militants seized control of Gaza last year, Israel has limited the shipment of fuel and electricity into Gaza in an attempt to weaken the militants.

That move — along with the closure of a border crossing from Gaza into Egypt — has further limited the quality of health care in Gaza and increased the number of Palestinians seeking permission to cross into Israel to receive treatment there or in the West Bank or other places, a report from the group said.

Physicians for Human Rights-Israel said it has received reports from 32 patients in Gaza who say they were denied permission to leave for refusing to cooperate with Israeli questioners at the Erez Crossing between Gaza and Israel. The group’s 80-page report documents the Palestinians’ allegations.

The group alleges that Israel’s actions violate the Geneva Conventions and the U.N. Convention Against Torture. Israel is wrong to use “the helplessness of the Palestinian patients in Gaza” to try to “pressure them to be collaborators,” the founder of Physicians for Human Rights-Israel, Dr. Ruchama Marton, said at a news conference Monday.

Don’t Miss

“They are trying to put the patient into a position to lose his or her life or to collaborate and we cannot agree to it,” Marton said.

The Israeli Ministry of Defense said Israel must scrutinize people who want to travel from Gaza into Israel for possible security threats, particularly in light of rocket and mortar attacks from Gaza and the attempts of terrorists to infiltrate Israel, sometimes by “making cynical use of humanitarian intermediation.”

Israel’s internal security service and army “are not experts on medical issues; therefore, they are required to take only security precautions into account” when weighing whether to allow a resident of Gaza to enter Israel, the defense ministry said, according to a letter from the ministry that the human rights group included in its report.

At least two would-be suicide bombings were planned by women who entered or tried to enter Israel on the grounds that they needed medical care, the Israeli prime minister’s office said.

Physicians for Human Rights-Israel handles appeals from Gazans who are denied permission to cross into Israel to receive medical treatment.

Despite the security threats, the number of people leaving Gaza for treatment in Israel has climbed steadily in recent years, from 8,325 in 2005 to 15,148 last year, the defense ministry said.

In its report, the human rights group said that Palestinians who are referred to medical treatment outside Gaza typically arrive at the Erez Crossing at an appointed time. Israeli authorities typically strip-search patients and sometimes confiscate their cell phones, recording numbers from a phone’s memory, the report said.

“Interrogators then question the patient and demand information in return for permission to access care,” the group said in a statement. “In some cases, patients are asked to collaborate … on a regular basis.”

One man quoted in the report — a Palestinian father of two and colonel in the Palestinian National Guard — said Israeli agents strip-searched him and asked about his friends when he sought to leave Gaza for heart surgery.

“I remember that the questions were about my connection with Hamas. I said that I had no connection with them,” the man said, according to the human rights report.

“He asked me about my friends, and I collected my papers in order to leave. I told him, ‘If you want to decide on my entry for passage through Israel to the hospital or prevent it on the basis of collaboration with you, I will not collaborate.’ ”

The man said Israel did not allow him to enter.
