Good luck on those Palestinian Authority reforms. I hope Salaam Fayyad has his life insurance paid up: Al Aqsa Brigades demands Abbas to remove Fayyad from his post
Fayyad, who is heading the “Emergency Government†in the West Bank, said that he will not allow the existence of what he described “armed militias†in the Palestinian territories.
The brigades said in its statement that Fayyad is providing Hamas with a free service and giving it an alibi to attack the emergency government and its policies, since such statements indicate that this government is against the resistance.
The brigades also stated that Fayyad said in an interview with the CNN that the resistance brought miseries to the Palestinian people, and added that “now the truth is clear to us, Fayyad is America’s man in Palestine, he is the first Palestinian Prime Minister who carries an American citizenshipâ€.
Moreover, the brigades demanded president Abbas to remove Fayyad from his post and appoint a national figure, and demanded Fayyad to apologize to the Palestinian people, the martyrs, the wounded and the detainees.
The brigades said that it will not stand idle while the Israeli occupation continues its invasions and violations, and called for the unity of all Palestinian factions and armed groups.
If the PA won't pay them, I bet someone else will:: Many Al Aqsa Brigades members resign from the security force
There's a greater chance of you or I being elected P.A. chairman than there is of that organization ever reforming itself.
And, is anyone else amused (or appalled) by the fact that the MSM is acting as though the al Aqsa Martyr's Brigade has NOTHING to do with Fatah's political wing? To use a historical comparison, it wuold have been like saying the Sturmabteilung (SA) had nothing to do with the Nazi Party in the 1930s............
