Militants: U.S., Israel Want Palestinian Civil War
A Paleo Civil War is in fact inevitable, and desirable, if a real state called Palestine is ever to emergeIslamic militants accused the United States and Israel Wednesday of trying to spark a Palestinian civil war by building a new "Berlin Wall" in the West Bank and threatened to reassess a shaky truce. Nice analogy for the Jooooos, except they arenât German, and this wall is meant to keep krazed killer loser Paleos⢠out, not in Their anger highlighted Palestinian resentment that President Bush did not persuade Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon at talks Tuesday to stop building what Israel calls a security fence and demanded a crackdown on militants. "There is a conspiracy between the aggressive minds of Israel and the United States against Palestinian hopes and independence," said Rantissi, a leader of the militant Islamic movement Hamas in the Gaza Strip. ooo I love dark conspiracys! "The Americans need what the Israelis need — a civil war in the Palestinian territories." The militantsâ reaction, and the disappointment expressed by mainstream Palestinian leaders after the talks, pointed to trouble ahead for Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas, who had been hoping to show gains after his own White House meeting. at the Israelisâ expense since Abbas had shit to show for his promises Bush said after talks last Friday with Abbas, also known as Abu Mazen, that the barrier was a problem that would make it hard to develop confidence between Israel and the Palestinians. confidence? Bwahahahaha Bush did not publicly censure Sharon Tuesday although a White House spokesman said he had "concerns" about the barrier. "I must ask Abu Mazen what he thought when he saw the Americans talk to him about the wall and then saw them retract what they said when they talked to Sharon," Rantissi said. Islamic Jihad, another militant group that has carried out suicide bombings in the 34-month-old uprising for an independent state, said the United States was not serious about peace efforts. "This wall is like the Berlin Wall. They need civil war and donât want to give Abu Mazen anything," said Mohammed al-Hindi, an Islamic Jihad leader in Gaza. He said this stance threatened a three-month truce declared by militant groups a month ago, and added: "We think we should make a reassessment of the truce because the dangers are very close to harming our hopes and goals."
And was a cease-fire a part of the Road Map? no? So no credit for it The dispute over the West Bank barrier is a big obstacle to progress, although Sharon vowed Tuesday to do his utmost to ensure it had minimum impact on Palestinian daily life. Israel says a fence it built around Gaza halted attacks from the territory, and that one in the West Bank will have a similar effect. Palestinians say it amounts to a land grab because it cuts deep into territory they want for a Palestinian state. The Paleo terrorists have figured out that if there is a separation, and they canât get the U.S. or EU to beat Israel into removing the fence, that it becomes a de facto border, the Israel-Paleo problem will effectively be solved since they wonât be able to wander into a crowd of civilians and kill them, and everyone except them will end up happy Posted by: Frank G 2003-07-30 |
