PA Trigger Fingers on American Rifles may kill IDF Soldiers!

I have waited for years for secret meetings to begin between the various terror group leaders and
the rulers of the countries that sponsor them. I believe it is essential for this to happen before terrorist activities will subside to a level such that Israel can be lulled into a false sense of peace as phony as a three dollar bill.
Haarutz and Reuters Article Number 2 talks about a series of current secret meetings going on in Syria
between Fatah and Hamas, which may cause them to kiss and make up temporarily, long enough to try and get some sort of extended hudna (truce) with Israel.
Arutz Sheva Article Number 1 discusses what I believe must eventually occur, which is the use of the weapons given by the U.S. to help Fatah defend itself against Hamas, ending up being used against the Israelis.

Abbas: “Raise Rifles Against the Israeli Occupation”
Arutz Sheva – Israel National News
Sunday, January 14, 2007 / 24 Tevet 5767
“Raise [your] rifles against the Israeli occupation,” Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas declared Thursday in Ramallah.
In a speech commemorating the 42nd anniversary of the founding of his Fatah party, the PA chief called on Arab factions to put an end to weeks of infighting and instead fight Israel.
“Shooting at your brother is forbidden. Raising rifles against the occupation is our legitimate right, but raising guns against each o
ther is forbidden. We should put our internal fighting aside and raise our rifles only against the Israeli occupation,” said Abbas in a speech in the Muqata compound in Ramallah attended by World Net Daily.
Abbas’ call to arms was not reported by most major media outlets featuring articles on the PA leader’s speech.
His statements about using rifles against Israel come after the United States, aided by Ehud Olmert, over the last few weeks provided 7,000 assault rifles and more than 1 million rounds of ammunition to militias associated with Abbas’ Fatah party, according to senior
Fatah militants.
In Thursday’ speech, Abbas went on to praise late Hamas spiritual leaderAhmed Yassin, who was assassinated by Israel in March 2004.
He also used Quranic verses to claim Jews are corrupting the world.
“The sons of Israel are mentioned as those who are corrupting humanity on earth,” Abbas said during a portion of his speech in which he criticized recent Israeli anti-terror raids in northern Samaria.
Abbas’ anti-Semitic remarks and his call to arms against the Jewish state were not quoted in hundreds of English-language articles reporting on Thursday’s speech or by most major Israeli dailies, which featured pieces on their websites about the Fatah commemoration ceremonies.
A widely-circulated Associated Press article, titled “Abbas calls for respect at Fatah rally,” states Abbas called for rival factions to respect each other.
The AP quotes Abbas stating, “Shooting at your brother is forbidden,” but the article stops short of quoting the rest of his sentence in which he recommends PA Arabs use their weapons against Israel.
The AP article was featured on such top websites as the WashingtonPost.com and CBSNews.com. Articles by other news agencies and local Israeli papers also failed to quote Abbas’ anti-Israel and anti-Semitic remarks.
WND reported that the recent U.S. shipments of rifles and ammunition were provided to bolster Fatah against rival Hamas factions, the Fatah militants said.
Fatah and Hamas have engaged in weeks of deadly firefights since Abbas last month called for new elections in a move widely seen as an attempt to dismantle the Hamas-led PA.
Abu Yousuf, a Fatah militant from Abbas’ Force 17 security forces, told WND while some of the weapons may be used in confrontations against Hamas, the bulk of the American arms would be utilized to “hit the Zionists.”

PA officials: Abbas envoys holding secret talks with Meshal in Syria

Envoys of Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas have been holding secret meetings with the top leader of the militant Hamas group exiled in Syria to end deadly Palestinian infighting and prepare new coalition talks, senior PA officials said Saturday.
Abbas will come to Damascus early next week to meet exiled Hamas chief Khaled Meshal and Syrian officials, said Moussa Abu Marzouk, the deputy head of Hamas’ political bureau in Syria.
“I hope his (Abbas’) meetings in Damascus will be constructive and lead to solving all outstanding problems that have broken the dialogue in the past,” Abu Marzouk said.
An Abbas aide confirmed that Abbas planned to meet with Meshal on Monday.
Officials from both Palestinian sides said significant progress has been made in the secret talks over the past two weeks between Meshal and two Abbas envoys, independent legislator Ziad Abu Amr and Mohammed Rashid – a former advisor to Abbas’ predecessor Yasser Arafat.
The envoys were heading to Damascus for another round of talks Saturday following a stop in Qatar, which has been mediating between Palestinian factions, officials said on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to talk to the media.
Abu Marzouk said mediations were geared at resuming negotiations between the Hamas-led government and Abbas’ more moderate Fatah party to form a national unity cabinet.
He predicted that dialogue would resume in the next few days.
The bitter Hamas and Fatah rivals have repeatedly failed in recent months to form a coalition because of disagreements over a political program and control over key Cabinet posts.
Hamas has also balked at international demands that any Palestinian government recognize Israel, renounce violence and accept existing peace deals.
Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas on Saturday urged an end to internal violence and called for fresh efforts to form a unity government. He l ater reiter
ated this sentiment to Abbas during a phone conversation the two held Saturday evening.
