| Killer factions starting to coordinate? |
| 2002-11-14 |
| Zionist military sources have viewed with concern a recent joint communiqué issued by four Palestinian armed factions that cooperate in launching resistance attacks against Zionist targets. The sources said that those armed factions assist each other in a bid to launch stronger operations against selective Zionist targets, noting that a number of such joint operations were carried out during the Aqsa intifada. The Zionist concern followed a military communiqué issued by the Qassam Brigades, military wing of the Hamas Movement, Quds Brigades, military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement and each of Nasser Salahuddin Brigades and Martyr Ahmed Abul Reesh Brigades, two military groups close to the Fatah Movement. When they're not killing kiddies in their beds, they're writing communiques. Don't these people have anything else to do? The communiqué, which was issued last Sunday, underlined that the Palestinian people's willpower was more solid than ever especially with the advent of the holy month of Ramadan. It noted that one Zionist government after the other were collapsing in face of the resistance's painful strikes in a clear indication of the Hebrew state's ordeal. "On the other hand we witness our people nearing victory more than ever before", the statement said, pointing to the continued sacrifice of blood, demolished houses, siege, displacement and starvation over the past two years. One Zionist government after another collapses, to be replaced by one that's more willing to thump the Paleos... The statement warned of any attempt to block resistance elements from reaching their targets and launching their legitimate right in resisting occupation under unrealistic justifications or slogans. It affirmed the Palestinians' right to fight occupation, noting that the intifada had led to a an unprecedented balance with the Zionist enemy that was never reached before in history of the Arab-Zionist conflict. Presumably this communique is directed at the PA. "Nearing victory" means standing in the midst of rubble and poverty and making faces. When they talk about "unprecedented balance" with the Zionists, they're not talking about the number of Nobel prizes Paleos have received... The statement advocated organized resistance and demanded an end to random and ineffective firing at tanks and fortified positions or shooting in funerals and marches. It also demanded an end to hurling the locally made small explosive devices at tanks and fortified positions and to retain them for use in confronting Zionist incursions. Conserve ammunition? Why? There's a shortage? Just ask Arabia, and they'll send more... The statement also asked all fighters to confront Zionist incursions and attempts to demolish houses with all available means. Firing of missiles and mortar shells should be organized as a deterrence benefiting from the experience of the Lebanese Hizbullah party in South Lebanon when Katyusha rockets served as a deterrent weapon against Zionist shelling of civilians. |
