While the emerging Palestinian resistance has declared its opposition to Israel, the Palestinian Authority has unleashed its security services on the Palestinian people. On Wednesday, the PA security services violently dispersed the funeral procession of 49-year-old Abdelfattah Kharousheh in Nablus, who was affiliated to Hamas and killed by the Israeli military in Jenin on Tuesday. PA spokesperson Talal Dweikat said that the security services intervened only when Hamas supporters joined the mourning procession and “turned the funeral into a protest against the PA.” Palestinians were then prevented from raising Hamas flags, despite Kharousheh being a member of the movement.
