Assassinating the Mujahideen is Aligning with the Enemy and Betrayal

The forces of the Palestinian Authority (PA) assassinated one of the mujahideen of the Tulkarm Camp brigade, Ahmed Abu Al-Foul, may Allah have mercy on him, yesterday by opening fire on his car in Tulkarm, resulting in his martyrdom.

The PA refuses to acknowledge this heinous crime except that the saying of the Prophet, (saw), applies to it: «مَنْ حَمَلَ عَلَيْنَا السِّلَاحَ فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا» “He who points a weapon at us does not belong to us.” And it reaffirms, as it continues to fall and betray, that it was never among the people or the people of Palestine, neither in its existence nor in its upbringing from the womb of the shameful Oslo Accords, nor in its positions, nor in its actions over the decades.

The Palestinian Authority, with this crime, is only answering the question that people have been asking every day for months, even years, about its position and stance in the war being waged against them. Where is the PA's weapon, rifles, and forces amid the killing and extermination of the people of Palestine for months?! And amid the aggression of the barbaric settlers' mobs on the people in their villages and homes?! To tell them that it is on the side of their enemy, and it is at a gap from their gaps, not among them!

The Palestinian Authority, unable to protect the people, under the pretext of its incapacity, as it was designed to be helpless, had the capacity to at least refrain from harming them, but it refused. It, the helpless and humiliated, chose to demonstrate its power against the people of Palestine and their sons, the mujahideen, who are under war and aggression. It chose to play the complementary role to the crimes of the entity by pursuing, chasing, imprisoning, and even killing the mujahideen, in hopes of extinguishing the spark of jihad and resistance among the youth of the blessed land and weakening the steadfastness of its people.

This oppressive Palestinian Authority over the people of Palestine, and oppressive to itself, fails to realize that it has incurred the wrath of Allah and the resentment of the people. It will never appease the Jewish entity, no matter how disgraceful its actions, no matter how deep it delves into betraying Allah, His Messenger, and the people of Palestine. Its dirty security role in protecting them will not save it. Netanyahu and the leaders of the Jewish entity continually threaten to undermine this Authority so that it does not become the nucleus of the purported state, which has exhausted itself in their service. Yet, the authority still clings to the hope of survival through this dirty role! They also fail to realize that this function, and the role they play as a pillar and protector of the Jewish entity, is actually one of the reasons for its destruction, not its survival. Even if America keeps them for its interest, or if the Jewish entity keeps them for the role of protection, the entity itself is heading towards downfall, just like all injustices and oppressors. Everything that supports it will perish, and everyone who supports it will fall with it.

[يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى أَوْلِيَاءَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِّنكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْهُمْ إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ * فَتَرَى الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ يُسَارِعُونَ فِيهِمْ يَقُولُونَ نَخْشَى أَن تُصِيبَنَا دَائِرَةٌ فَعَسَى اللهُ أَن يَأْتِيَ بِالْفَتْحِ أَوْ أَمْرٍ مِّنْ عِندِهِ فَيُصْبِحُوا عَلَى مَا أَسَرُّوا فِي أَنفُسِهِمْ نَادِمِينَ]

“O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people. * So you see those in whose hearts is disease hastening into [association with] them, saying, "We are afraid a misfortune may strike us." But perhaps Allah will bring conquest or a decision from Him, and they will become, over what they have been concealing within themselves, regretful.” [Al-Ma'ida:51-52].
