Palestinians factions to Blair: The resistance is a red line no one can overstep

[ 18/05/2008 - 01:51 PM ]

GAZA, (PIC)--

Palestinian resistance factions strongly denounced Friday the recent statements of Tony Blair, the envoy of the quartet committee to the middle east, in which he stressed that the PA security apparatuses in the West Bank were designed for protecting and guarding the Israeli occupation, highlighting that the resistance is a red line that no one could overstep. 

"The Palestinian security personnel currently being trained in Jordan are being prepared far more effectively than those that  failed to resist Hamas's takeover of the Gaza Strip last June," Blair said on Thursday.

Abu Obaida, the spokesman for Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, underlined that the PA leadership and its unconstitutional government in Ramallah is not loyal to Palestine and their people and works on relieving the Israeli occupation of a heavy burden represented in the Palestinian resistance.

Abu Obaida affirmed that Al-Qassam Brigades would not allow the West Bank to turn into an Israeli county and would eliminate whoever dares to stand in the face of resistance.

The spokesman called on the PA security elements to pay attention to the next stage and determine what ground they would stand on, adding that this stage would differentiate between subordination and nationalism and everyone who  joins the PA security, puts himself at the disposal of the Israeli occupation. 

For his part, Abu Hamza, the spokesman for Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, said that the PA leadership in Ramallah made a lot of concessions to the occupation through negotiations, warning that such military trainings could be aimed to eliminate the resistance as had happened in Jenin and Nablus.

For his part, Abu Mujahed, the spokesman for the Salahuddin Brigades, the armed wing of the popular resistance committees, stated that Israel's announcement that its troops would be active in Nablus again after it handed the power over to the PA means that the PA is fragile and that the occupation does not rely on the military trainings provided by Jordan for PA security elements.

Abu Mujahed underscored that despite the fierce attacks inflicted on the Palestinian resistance in the West Bank, it always managed to heal its wounds and stand again to confront the Israeli occupation, pointing out that the Palestinian people is saturated with the culture of resistance and no one can succeed in removing their option.
