Official PA daily condemns Hamas attacks on Fatah members
Op-ed by Mahmoud Abu Al-Haija, Editor-in-Chief of official PA daily
“Some ‘members of the resistance’ are currently expelling their brothers in blood, religion, homeland, struggle and fate, under fire, only because they belong to Fatah. One of them is now lying in a hospital in the Jordanian capital Amman with eight bullets in his body from the rifle of a ‘member of the resistance.’
Will these violent acts, which we do not care to describe at this time, contribute to defeating the Israeli aggression? How will the resistance be steadfast or become stronger while the home front is beaten so severely? Why is there unity in the negotiations delegation while on the ground, one faction pursues its comrades in the trench?”
Note: This article was published during the 2014 Gaza war as Hamas was firing thousands of rockets at Israel and as Israel was responding with Operation Protective Edge, which aimed at destroying Hamas' terror infrastructure and ability to launch rockets at Israel.
