Rantissi warns those trying to ignite civil war
Dr. Abdul Aziz Rantissi, political bureau member of the Hamas Movement, has said that the Palestinian Authorityâs formation of an emergency government meant that the PA had bowed to American and Zionist pressures.
| "Having a gummint is un-Paleostinian. We prefer our anarchy straight..." |
He charged that the governmentâs first and foremost mission would be declaring war on the Palestinian peopleâs legitimate resistance while ignoring occupation and the Sharon terrorist governmentâs daily humiliation and destruction of Palestinian life. He urged all national and Islamic forces to unite ranks in support of resistance and to protect national unity in face of those trying to tamper with it. âWe strongly reject any attempt to foil the Palestinian peopleâs legitimate resistance against occupation of the country and holy shrines and we warn of the seriousness of such a step,â the Hamas leader warned.
| "You go tryin' to ignite civil war with us, buddy, and we'll... ummm... have a civil war." |
Rantissi advised the PA not to bow to American and Zionist dictates, which only aimed at terminating Palestinian resistance in favor of Zionist occupation. âThe current crisis is not a Palestinian-Palestinian one but rather that of a conflict between an occupation usurping our lands, dignity and freedom and a Mujahid people that are fighting for freedom, dignity and liberation of lands,â he explained. Rantissi affirmed that with the grace of Allah what happened in 1996 (PA arrested and tortured Hamas official and cadres) would not recur. He said that those trying to drag the Palestinian people into a civil war would be completely and wholly responsible for any repercussions of any decision in the wrong direction.
| "We have a civil war, it's all your fault..." |
The Hamas leader emphasized that martyrdom operations were the only option before the Palestinian people in the light of the Zionist obstinacy and constant aggression on the Palestinian people and in the light of the European and American total bias in favor of Zionist terrorism, occupation and aggression. Armed operations especially martyrdom operations would remain the sole option before the Palestinian people until regaining national, legitimate goals, God willing, Rantissi concluded.
| "The only way things're ever gonna get different is if we keep doin' what we've been doin'..." |
