Creating new perspectives since 2009

The occupation and the PA are confronting the resistance in the West Bank

November 13, 2014 at 3:50 pm

It is clear that what is happening now in the city of Jerusalem and the West Bank is the beginning of an explosion in the face of the Zionist enemy and the city of Jerusalem is the detonator. This is especially true in light of the organised terrorism carried out by the Israeli state against Jerusalem and the sanctities (including the people, land and holy sites).

There is now a declared war against any action to counter Jewish Zionist terrorism. It is a war between those who believe in their right to their land and sanctities and see the need to defend them with all their might and between those afraid that this confrontation will ignite the land under the occupation, even if after a while.

I believe that what is occurring at the moment in Jerusalem and the West Bank are real introductions for these expected confrontations in light of the individual resistance operations carried out by the mujahedeen including stabbing, running over and killing violators who are either Israeli soldiers or settlers. They are all soldiers of their forced resistance imposed on males and females indifferently.

I remember the female settler in Jerusalem who, in the wake of protests against the crime of burning the young boy Mohammed Abu Khdeir, got out of her car, raised her gun, and opened fire on the young protestors, resulting in one martyr, and therefore, I say they are all the same; terrorists and murderers.

The battle taking place now in the West Bank and Jerusalem is not only being confronted by the Zionist occupation, but also by the PA and its security forces. I am not spreading slander, incitement, accusations, or suspicions without the support of evidence or proof because I am basing my claims on statements such as the statement made by PA President Mahmoud Abbas who vowed there would not be a third Intifada in the West Bank. He also accused Hamas of being behind the events in Jerusalem and the West Bank, saying the events are interfering with internal security.

It is worth noting that there are other resistance forces, other than Hamas, such as Islamic Jihad who have claimed responsibility for some hit-and-run and stabbing incidents, while some parties such as Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, have given their blessings for such acts because they view them as necessary in order to activate their confrontation against the Zionist occupation and stop its attacks.

The response to the demonstrations in solidarity with Jerusalem that are taking place in West Bank cities and their prevention and prohibition are indications that this war is targeting any opposition to the occupation in defence of Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque. In addition to this, the arrest campaigns and summons of West Bank citizens are also being carried out by the security forces in the West Bank under the pretext of participating in such protests or calling for them. There is also security coordination between these forces and the occupation’s forces in order to pursue any activities that may lead to the outbreak of a confrontation or spark the third Intifada.

To our brethren in Jerusalem and the West Bank, we say go on with the blessing of God and spark a confrontation with the occupation. Fight for the sake of God and do not fear the rebuke of any reproachers or the threats of Abbas and his security services because they were incapable of even protecting one of the houses of God on Wednesday night from burning near Ramallah, the capital city of the PA. They cannot stand in the way of your strong will and determination to confront this enemy.

We tell our brethren in Jerusalem to reinforce their security because the plan today is for the Zionist occupation forces to allow intelligence and preventive security forces to work in Jerusalem and its surroundings in order to help the occupation confront any operation and in order to provide information regarding what is occurring in Jerusalem so as to nip any Intifada in the bud.
