Bad guy vs. bad guy...what could be better?
A chief of Fatah invites Hamas in the West Bank to disarm
JENIN (the West Bank) - One of the principal chiefs of an armed group resulting from Fatah invited Saturday the activists of Hamas in the West Bank to give their weapons to the Palestinian Authority, after the takeover of the Gaza Strip by the islamist movement.
“After what occurred to Gaza, Hamas becomes an organization banished in the West Bank and all its weapons must be given to the Palestinian Authority because these weapons are from now on illegitimate”, declared in AFP Zakaria Al-Zoubeidi, a leader of the Brigades of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs based in Jenin.
“Any prohibited activity of Hamas in the West Bank east from now on without a preliminary authorization” of the proper authorities, it added.
” Bad guy vs. bad guy...what could be better? “
Yeah — a unified and strengthened enemy is sure better than weakened and bickering factions....
3 cheers for the 3 state solution!
If we leave Iraq, this is what will happen on a very much larger scale.
Exactly. With more dire consequences. Gaza and Westbank are small blots on the map with no whatsoever economic value, unlike Iraq with her strategic position and vast oil ressources.
Was that a formally engraved invitation or a couple of dozen more casual RPG's?
Can any Freeper provide some insight into whether this is a power play by Syria? Even in “bad guy vs bad guy,” what are the distinction here?
Thanks in advance
Spot-on sarcasm...
Fatah is the same. They are fighting over who gets to keep the money that Europe and America foolishly gives them in the hope of appeasement. You cannot appease parasites.
Payback iz a bitch!
Assad doesn't take a dump without Iranian approval. The puppet masters for this little event are in Tehran.
L
I’d say this gives Iran a foothold next to Israel to attack it. Serious.
Hamas (Iran) now has a seaport contiguous to Israel.
Think about that for a minute.
L
How much of a port is there now? I thought they were talking about building one.
I'd bet not far.
But it doesn't have to be all that big to smuggle in some very nasty items from Iran.
I must admit I'm torn. On one hand my first instinct when I see these creatures killing each other is to log on to my usual ammo suppliers website and send a couple of cases to each side with my best wishes.
But then I think about Iran having easier access to Israeli citizens and I become far less sanquine about the situation.
L
So they aren't migratory or are they like the welfare royalty of Naw'leans who won't get off their fat butts to clean and repair their own homes?
The MSM usually leaves out the word hate between the words legitimate and group much the same way they forget the preceding word 'illegal' when they mention our immigrant problem.
Frankly, It is the Iran, Russia, China axis that worries me.
