| PLO says no to action in Syria's Yarmouk refugee camp |
| 2015-04-11 |
| [SACBEE] The Paleostine Liberation Organization said it will not be drawn into military action in an embattled Paleostinian refugee camp in Syria, rejecting claims that Paleostinians would join Syrian troops in driving out Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... krazed killers. The PLO statement, issued late Thursday, contradicted comments earlier by the PLO envoy to Damascus, Ahmad Majdalani, that Paleostinian groups are ready to join forces with the Syrian government to expel IS fighters from the Yarmouk camp in the Syrian capital. Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... has long insisted that Paleostinians stay out of the Syrian conflict. It was not immediately clear why Majdalani, sent by Abbas to Damascus to deal with the crisis, came out in support of Paleostinian military involvement in Syria. The contradictory comments exposed internal Paleostinian disagreements on how to handle the growing crisis in Yarmouk, where thousands of civilians are trapped under appalling conditions. Wasel Abu Yusef, a senior PLO official based in the West Bank town of Ramallah, said Friday that negotiating safe passage for Yarmouk's besieged residents and for humanitarian supplies is preferable to military action. "We know that if the (Syrian) army, with its planes and tanks, would interfere, this would mean the complete destruction of the camp," he said. A Damascus-based Paleostinian official, Khaled Abdul-Majid, said the back and forth was not helping Yarmouk. He said the PLO was backing away from earlier statements "as a result of pressure from external sides." He did not elaborate, but said Damascus-based Paleostinian factions will stick to the agreement reached on joining Syrian troops in driving IS gunnies out. |
