Imprisoned Followers of Frankenstein, the Wolf Man, and Count Dracula, do not Break Ranks with their Individual Leader’s Particular Brand of Terror!

Once the Hamas and Islamic Jihad leaders not in Israeli prisons turned down the Prisoners Peace Plan put forward by Fatah, the imprisoned Hamas and Islamic Jihad followers removed their names from the plan they put forward as a Fatah-Hamas-Islamic Jihad Prisoner Peace Plan, leaving only the Fatah prisoners in favor of it. Their “party whips” remind me of our own congressional parties willingness to stick to a party line they don’t like, rather than vote their own conscience.
Two Authors of the Prisoners’ Document Pull Out

Arutz Sheva – IsraelNationalNews.com
Two members of the team who wrote the much-touted Prisoners’ Document plan for peace between Israel and the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority on Sunday withdrew
their signatures from the document.
Abdel Khaled Natche, a top Hamas member incarcerated in Israel, has withdrawn his name from the document, as has fellow prisoner, Bassem al-Saadi, a top Islamic Jihad member.
Both men said in a statement read by Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri
that Fatah Chairman and PA President Mahmoud Abbas had used the document for political gain, rather than the solution to a deadlock that it was meant to be.
The statement by Natche read in Gaza by a spokesman said he had withdrawn his signature on behalf of all Hamas prisoners, accord
ing to media sources.
Natche and al-Saadi accused Abbas of “unacceptable abuse” in their statement. “
The document is now a completely Fatah document,” announced Abu Zuhri. The two were angered by Abbas’ call for a referendum on the document should Hamas refuse to accept the plan.
Abbas was the first to embrace the plan, which was authored by prisoners from the Hamas, Fatah and Islamic Jihad parties and called for a two-state solution with a PA state drawn on the pre-1967 boundaries, as well as a total right of return to Israel for Arabs who left Israel following the modern Jewish state’ s founding in 1948.
In addition, it calls for PA Arabs to “focus their resistance on the lands occupied in 1967.”
The plan does not call for formal recognition of Israel, nor does it call upon terror group Hamas to renounce violence or disarm, all of which are the preconditions set by the Quartet of Nations (United States, United Nations, European Union and Russia) for restoring international funding for the PA government.
Natche, a leader of the local Hamas militia in Hebron, helped formulate the document last month together with Marwan Barghouti, a senior leader of the Fatah party and Bassem al-Saadi of Islamic Jihad. Hamas and Fatah were engaged in a bloody power struggle in the streets of Gaza at
the time, one which has continued despite a number of ceasefires which did not hold.
The two parties continued their battles on Sunday while leaders from both parties were scheduled to meet again in another effort to work out their differences.
Abbas has pushed for acceptance of the document by Hamas as a way of softening the terrorist organization’s stance on peace talks with Israel. Hamas has steadfastly refused to budge on the issue, prompting Abbas to issue an ultimatum to Hamas: approve the plan or face a general referendum on the document.
