Fatah spurn aid for handicapped, a "despicable crime"
“The Fatah Movement said that Israel’s taking control of territories in the area of the Ibrahimi Mosque (i.e., Cave of the Patriarchs), paving the roads, and installing an elevator for settlers (i.e., for handicapped accessibility to the site) inside the Ibrahimi Mosque, which ispurely Islamic, constitutes a continuation of the Ibrahimi Mosque massacre that was committed by terrorist [Baruch] Goldstein in 1994 and left hundreds of Martyrs and wounded (29 dead; see note below –Ed.).
[Fatah] Revolutionary Council member and Fatah Spokesman Osama Al-Qawasmi said in a statement he issued today, Monday [May 4, 2020], that Israel’s crimes against the Palestinian people are the most despicable in history. He added that in this way it is attacking all of humanity and its cultural heritage, while attempting to break into the mosques and places of worship and turn them into centers of hatred and conflict instead of tolerance and love.
Fatah demanded that the international institutions make their voices heard in light of this criminal aggression.”
