Israeli forces resorts to tear gas and use of force to disperse scores of Palestinians gathered in Jerusalem Al-Quds in defense of their holy Al-Aqsa mosque.
Palestinian worshippers, who were denied access to Al-Aqsa mosque, thronged in the Ras al-Amud neighborhood just outside the gates of the Old City after the weekly Friday prayers, in protest at threats posed to the Muslims’ third holy site by right-wing Israelis.
The demonstration came amid tightened security and deployment of thousands of Israeli security forces to the city to prevent Muslims from entering to the holy site.
Israeli forces clashed with the protesters, as stone-hurling Palestinian youths responded to the soldiers who fired tear gas to disperse the crowd and arrested two Palestinians.
Chasing the masked youths deeper into the neighborhood, Israeli forces found themselves beset from all sides by residents who threw stones, water and even chairs at them.
In the Gaza Strip, thousands of people on Friday took part in demonstrations called by leaders of the Islamic Hamas and the Islamic Jihad movements who had called for “a day of rage in Gaza and the West Bank”.
The call was echoed in the West Bank by the central committee of the Palestinian Fatah movement, urging Palestinians to stage a peaceful protest to proclaim their “attachment to their holy places and to Jerusalem Al-Quds as the eternal capital of the independent Palestinian state.”
The Fatah-run Palestinian Authority accused Tel Aviv of allowing ultra right Jewish extremists to enter the mosque compound, while denying access to Muslims, calling on the United Nation to intervene and prevent Israel from imposing provocative measures.
Tens of thousands in Gaza demonstrate in support of the Aqsa Mosque [ 09/10/2009 - 09:17 PM ]
GAZA, (PIC)-- Tens of thousands of Palestinian citizens in the Gaza Strip heeded the call of Hamas Movement to demonstrate in support of the Aqsa Mosque that had been under Israeli siege for more than a week now.
In a massive rally held in Khan Younis city in southern Gaza Strip, Hamas's political leader MP Yahya Mousa urged foundations of the civil society to free themselves from the chain of foreign financial support, and to expose the big conspiracy concocted against the Aqsa Mosque.
"The Aqsa isn't only in danger, but it is about to be destroyed… the Aqsa is part of our faith, and it is the center point of the struggle between truth and falsehood, and it is about time for the Arabs and the Muslim Ummah to wake up and defend it", asserted Mousa as he addressed the masses.
"We are prepared for the final battle with the Israelis, and the Arabs should unite, and we say to them: you have no excuse if the Aqsa is destroyed… the Muslim peoples should go to and demonstrate in the streets, and to the Arab rulers we say: are you not ashamed of being a toy in the hands of the Zionists?", he added.
Mousa also called on the "honorable" persons in Fatah faction to correct their faction's path, and to get rid of the disgrace brought to them and to their movement by Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas and his retinue because, he added, the history of Fatah now was at the brink of collapse, otherwise Fatah would become worse than the defunct Lahd Army in southern Lebanon.
In this regard, Mousa invited the Palestinian people to continue demonstrating and to revolt against the leadership in Ramallah till Abbas resigns or is ousted by force, and if this crime [Abbas's decision to delay a UN vote on the Goldstone report] passed unpunished, Abbas would next sell the entire Palestinian cause.
"No one is allowed to remain neutral in this matter because the Palestinian people wouldn’t forgive any one betraying them or trading with their blood", he underscored, accusing the Ramallah leadership of becoming a burden on the Palestinian national action, and of mortgaging itself to the international conditions, which is a lost project.
Furthermore, Mousa reiterated his Movement's concern to end the Palestinian political rift and to achieve the national reconciliation, but he called on Cairo to adjourn the signing of the reconciliation agreement till the shame brought by Abbas on the Palestinian issue is removed.
For his part, Hamas's legislator Abdul Rahman Al-Jamal called on the Ramallah-based PA to release all Palestinian resistance fighters detained in the West Bank jails, strongly criticizing Abbas for ordering a delay on a crucial UN vote on the Goldstone report.
"The fanatic Jewish groups and the IOF troops were encouraged and stormed the Aqsa Mosque and arrested Muslim worshippers inside it after Abbas's harmful decision, and the Israeli aggression on the Aqsa Mosque was coordinated with a team of traitors inside the Muqata'a in Ramallah", Jamal charged.
Massive rally in Damascus in support of the Aqsa and condemnation of Abbas
[ 09/10/2009 - 08:48 PM ]
DAMASCUS, (PIC)-- Mahir Al-Tahir, the representative of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine PFLP in the exile, has strongly criticized on Friday Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas for aborting a scheduled UNHRC vote on the Goldstone report, stressing that Palestinian blood is precious.
Tahir's remarks came during a massive rally organized by the supreme follow-up committee of the Palestinian national conference in the Palestinian refugee camp of Al-Yarmook in the Syrian capital Damascus Friday against the Zionist policies towards the occupied city of Jerusalem and the Aqsa Mosque as well as Abbas's withdrawal of support for the Goldstone report.
'The Palestinian blood isn't cheap for the PA leadership to ask for adjourning the vote on the Goldstone report…. This is a clear undermining of the blood of the Palestinian martyrs," underlined Tahir.
He added, "For the past 60 years, our Palestinian people have offered martyrs, and when the chance loomed to bring murderers of the Palestinian people before international justice, the PA adjourned the UN meeting".
He described Abbas's decision as "political and ethical crime that shouldn’t be allowed to pass unpunished", calling to hold accountable every person involved in the adjournment decision starting from Abbas down to the smallest official involved in that crime.
However, he blamed the "destructive" path of the Oslo agreement that, he explained, divided the Palestinian people and compromised Palestinian legal rights, urging the Palestinian people shun that path, and to build new Palestinian strategy based on national unity and resistance, and not to compromise a grain of the occupied Palestinian soil.
He also invited the Palestinian people to revolt against and to kick out US General Keith Dayton who is the virtual military governor of the West Bank
