JERUSALEM – While Israel's ground operation in the Gaza Strip the past few days has been largely reported as a war against the Hamas terrorist group, members of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah organization boasted they also engaged in clashes against Israeli forces and fired rockets into Jewish population centers.
(...)
In interviews with WND, members of Abbas' declared military wing, the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, complained Hamas is taking all the credit for attacking Israel from Gaza.
"We engaged in clashes with Israeli forces and just yesterday fired four rockets into Sderot and one into Ashkelon," said Abu Ahmed, a Gaza-based leader of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades.
Former Israeli PM and current Defence Minister Ehud Barak reminds the world:
"We pulled out of Gaza, we tore Israelis from their homes, just for quiet in the communities in the Gaza envelope. These were painful concessions that we made for quiet, and Hamas has continued its fire without reason," said Barak.
"They are firing on innocent civilians and have left us no choice. We will operate with force to change the situation, and we will change it," Barak said.
Doesn't the world agree that Israel has an inalienable right to protect her citizens from attack by foreign enemies? Doesn't the world realize the great sacrifice Israel made in giving that land, Gaza, to her enemies in an attempt at a peace offering, and that the hateful, bloodthirsty Hamas/Fatah Muslims are using it as a launching pad for attacks on Israel? Or is the world in denial of the truth and preferring to believe the politically correct lies of the hateful, bloodthirsty Hamas/Fatah Muslims?
