Hamas Maintains Abbas's Crimes Would Only Boost Resistance Strength
5 August 2009
GAZA, (PIC)-- Hamas on Wednesday affirmed that the crimes committed against its cadres and supporters in the West Bank at the hands of militias loyal to Mahmoud Abbas, the former PA chief, would only boost its strength. The Movement in a statement said that the brutal killing of Hamas leader Kamal Abu Taima under torture fell in line with the Ramallah authority's commitment to eliminate Hamas in the West Bank as planned by Israel in cooperation with the American security coordinator Keith Dayton. The blood of the martyr Abu Taima will remain a shameful spot on the hands of those "gangs", it charged, and called on all honorable people of the world to immediately act to end the killing spree waged by Abbas's militias within and outside their dungeons. For his part, Hamas MP Mushir Al-Masri described the killing of Abu Taima under torture as another "bloodbath" committed by the Ramallah authority against Hamas and the Palestinian resistance. Masri, addressing a massive march in Jabalia, northern Gaza, on Tuesday evening, said that the torture methods pursued by Ramallah militias were in service of their "Zionist and American masters". Shifting to another issue, the MP described Abbas's speech at the inauguration of the Fatah general conference in Bethlehem as tension-oriented. He said that the speech was full of fabrications against Hamas, and added that Abbas played the role of a "clown" when he bragged about building a cinema in Nablus and described it as a great achievement for the Palestinian people. Hamas: Abbas's speech full of lies, undermines reconciliation The Hamas Movement has said on Tuesday that the speech of Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas in Bethlehem was full of lies, fabrications, and doesn’t help achieve the aspired national reconciliation on the Palestinian arena. "His speech was full of offensive terms and descriptions of Hamas, in addition to such as Abbas's claim that he was the subject of an assassination attempt by Hamas activists while in fact it was Fatah activists who tried to assassinate him when he visited the Arafat's mourning tent," said Dr. Sami Abu Zuhri, the spokesman of Hamas in Gaza Strip. Abu Zuhri also shrugged off Abbas's claims that he mediated to convince a certain European country to receive [PA premier] Ismael Haneyya, explaining that it what Hamas leaders heard from Europeans was different and that when a number of European countries were about to lift the siege of Gaza, Abbas intervened personally to convince them to keep the siege in place. He also accused Abbas of deceiving the Palestinian people when he claims that Gaza Strip receives more than half of the PA budget, underlining that Abbas's authority stopped paying the salaries of 20,000 employees because they report to work and he only pays those employees (mostly affiliated with Fatah) who refused to report to work. Furthermore, Abu Zuhri reiterated Hamas's readiness to go to elections, stressing that the national reconciliation and resolving a number of crucial issues must be resolved before any election process could take place. "How could we go to election while 1,000 of Hamas's cadres and supporters incarcerated in Abbas's jails in very bad condition/ how could we go to elections while our humanitarian institutions are sealed off?", Zuhri pointed out. As far as the issue of Fatah members in Gaza Strip was concerned, Abu Zuhri underscored that Hamas had requested one simple request that is to release all political detainees in the PA jails in the West Bank in exchange to let Fatah members go to the faction's sixth congress but Fatah refused. Moreover, Abu Zuhri emphasized that it was the right of the Palestinian people to know who killed Yasser Arafat, the late Fatah leader and PA chief, charging that Abbas attempted to dodge the issue by using sweet words about Arafat, but the people still want to know who killed him. In addition, Abu Zuhri explained that the speech of Abbas confirmed that Fatah had indeed recognized the Hebrew state after it ratified the Oslo Agreement, charging Abbas of "gasping" behind futile negotiations with the Israeli occupation authorities. Finally he said that Fatah was at a cross-roads, it can either preserve its history or collapse and lose all its credit.
