| Al Aqsa rejects agreement... |
| 2002-08-20 |
| The military wing of Fatah movement announced Monday that it rejects the Gaza - Bethlehem plan. The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, said in a leaflet the plan "would only bring the Palestinian people more humiliation, insult and surrender" and the agreement was made "to save Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon from failing." "Stop killing people? What would that accomplish? Nuttin', I tell ya! Nuttin'! We're on a roll, an' we ain't stoppin' for nobody..." "Because of the Intifada and our attacks, the Israeli government has been witnessing a crisis. This deal saves Sharon's government and helps the U.S, the head of terrorism to strike on Iraq," said the leaflet. "So we'll keep killin' people, and that way Iraq won't be attacked. But there ain't no coordination with Iraq on this thing, see?" It noted that the agreement "shows that the Zionist army exhausted and its aggression had failed despite of the tightened and tough measures imposed on the Palestinian people." That makes the rejection unanimous by the main gunny groups. I haven't seen anything from PFLP and DFLP, but they're becoming more minor as players with each passing month. Yasser's been avoiding a confrontation with the homicidal maniacs because he thinks he'll lose it, which he's probably right about. So they'll either have to crack down and lose — plump chance of that! — or they'll either ignore the "agreement" or blame Israel for something or other and announce that it's null and void... |
