[IsraelTimes] Ramallah asks Egypt to intervene; Fatah official: ’This is not the occupation, it’s Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, gangs terrorizing Gazoo’; conflicting reports on alleged self-immolation by one man.A senior Paleostinian official said Saturday that the Ramallah-based leadership has asked Egypt to pressure Hamas over the violent suppression of protests during a third day of demonstrations in Gazoo against the terror group and the dire economic conditions in the enclave. PLO Executive Committee member Wasel Abu-Youssef told the Times of Israel that the Paleostinian representative to Egypt and the Arab League ...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing... , Diab al-Louh, has called for an emergency high-level meeting of the regional organization to discuss the situation in Gazoo. When asked if the meeting would discuss the violent suppression of protests, Abu Yusef said that it would. According to Paleostinian media reports, Qatar  ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...has also been asked to intervene in the escalating violence. Paleostinians in the Gazoo Strip erupted into the streets on Saturday for the third successive day. Unverified footage appeared to show a protester setting himself alight. According to Channel 12 news, Ahmed Abu Tahn self-immolated after he was unable to pay his rent and was evicted from his home. But after looking into the matter, the Al Mezan rights group in Gazoo told the Haaretz newspaper the film was not a new one, and that no such incident had occurred on Saturday. The veracity of the video could not be independently confirmed. In response to a video of Hamas forces suppressing demonstrations, a close confidant of Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas  ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial...tweeted his outrage. "This is not the Israeli occupation forces!!"Fatah Central Committee member Hussein al-Sheikh said. "It is the Hamas gangs that are terrorizing and suppressing the hungry in the Gazoo Strip." The Ynet news site reported that at least 80 demonstrators affiliated with the Fatah movement had been nabbed Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! over the past 24 hours. Paleostinian rights groups said Hamas briefly detained four of their researchers as it dispersed protests. On Friday, reports from the coastal enclave said Hamas used live fire to put down demonstrations. The center of Friday’s demonstrations was in Deir el-Balah, where Hebrew media reports said protesters burned tires and blocked one of the central Gazoo city’s main roads. Similar protests also took place in Khan Younis in the south of the Strip. In video from the demonstrations, protesters could be seen throwing rocks as the sound of apparent gunfire is heard in the background. Quoting the demonstrators, Ynet said they were beaten by security forces loyal to Hamas. There were no immediate reports on the number of injured.
