Palestine updates يسقط عملاء أمريكا

Posted on By 3arabawy

Thousands took to the streets of Gaza to denounce Abu Mazen’s speech in Ramallah yesterday.

Meanwhile financial and political support from the Arab regimes, Israel, US, Canada, EU is flocking in, to shower the Fatah traitors in the West Bank and strangle the Islamic resistance movement Hamas in Gaza.

America’s Mubarak ordered his ambassador to relocate from Gaza to Ramallah, and will be hosting a summit next week in Sharm, to be attended by both Olmert and Abu Mazen, to boost the latter’s coup against Hamas.

Mubarak’s regime (and AP?) to help fleeing Fatah loyalists reach West Bank

The AP editors still insist on inserting “moderate” whenever they refer to Abu Mazen or Fatah!

Egypt is trying to arrange passage to the West Bank for more than 300 Palestinians from the moderate Fatah group who fled the Hamas takeover in Gaza, Palestinian and Egyptian security officials said Monday.
Egyptians and Palestinians have agreed to “ease the trip back to the West Bank” for some 340 security officials close to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ moderate Fatah party, said a Palestinian official at the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

I have another suggestion, instead of “moderate” why don’t you write the “progressive” Abu Mazen? Or Fatah “which believes in women rights” or any similar lie to make Dahlan’s thugs more polished up in front of the Western readers?

SHAME ON AP! Their editors also took the same approach re Mubarak’s regime in the 1990s (and up till 2004; now they don’t do it as frequently, except when Condi is in town) by insisting to describe Mubarak as a “moderate” while his security was kidnapping demonstrators, and rounding suspects in the thousands together with their families and children, torturing and sexually abusing detainees, and shooting at strikers and student demos.. That did not matter for AP. All what mattered to its editors was how our president was in dealing with America, and how lovely he was by fighting those terrorists. Now AP is repeating the same approach re Abu Mazen.

What’s even more hilarious, are those (like the Christian Science Monitor), who like to present the current conflict as one between “Islamist” Hamas and “Secular” Fatah!

First, it is NOT true Fatah is a “secular nationalist” movement anymore unlike what the CSM editors might have learned from Wikipedia or Memri. Guys, that was in the past. Fatah’s thugs now are as “Islamized” I can assure, moreover the fight in Palestine is not over implementing Shariaa or veiling women, so why the fuck is this Islamist/Secular dichotomy. But hey, if there’s anything we can smear Hamas with, and polish up Abu Mazen, then do it, even if it’s a lie.

Around 100 Fatah officials flee to Egypt

From AP:

Close to 100 Palestinian officials from the moderate Fatah group of President Mahmoud Abbas crossed into Egypt from the Gaza Strip in the early hours Friday, Egyptian police said.
Hours later, the Egyptian security delegation in Gaza also returned to Egypt after failing in its mediation efforts between the warring Palestinian factions, said an official at the Rafah border crossing.
The Egyptian border official said the delegation chief, Col. Burhan Hamad, and five other members were heading to Cairo.
Fleeing aboard a fishing boat on the Mediterranean sea, 97 senior members of Fatah’s security and administrative apparatus arrived in the Egyptian port of Arish hours after fighters from the militant Hamas group took control of Gaza, an Egyptian security official in Arish said.
The retreating Fatah members were transferred to camps affiliated to Egypt’s security forces, a police official in Cairo confirmed.

Flee you fucking cowards! Run away to Egypt where Mubarak’s Gestapo, your disappointed mentors, are waiting… Down with Fatah! Down with Dahlah!

I love the way AP is covering the events. Abbas’s Fatah are “moderates”?!!! Moderates!!!?! This reminds me of how the wires just love referring to Mubarak and Abdullah of Jordan, both bloody criminal dictators, as “moderates.” But after all, we know the barometer of “moderation” for AP and the other western news outlets is always how brown-nosed the Arab ruler is when he deals with Washington.
