GAZA,
June 8 (IslamOnline) - A senior West bank Fatah Official Hussein Al
Sheikh, asked Palestinian President Yasser Arafat to hold the sixth
conference for the movement to elect new leaderships saying that there
is no place except for a ‘fighting’ leadership.
Al
Sheikh accused Palestinian leaderships, which he did not name, of
putting the Intifada (uprising) on trial and described them as a
dissident faction that have quit resistance twenty months ago and that
they sought to manipulate the resistance movement.
Al
Sheikh was speaking during a festival that held in Gaza in solidarity
with West Bank Fatah leader Marwan Al Barghouthi, who is currently in
Israeli jails.
“Those
who fight and those who don’t can’t be on the same level in the
movement,” he said calling on President Arafat to elect new
leaderships within Fatah which are able to continue the resistance and
which are credible and have a clean hand.
“No
to Fatah leaderships that are outside the lines of resistance. This is
the voice of the poor, the tortured and the crushed in the Fatah
movement,” he added.
Al
Sheikh saluted Al Barghouthi whom he described as the companion of his
struggle and said that he was a field leader and not an administrative
one and he represents the new generations of Fatah.
“Today,
the Israeli occupation forces have attempted to assassinate our
struggling leader Yasser Arafat targeting his national project and the
symbol around which our people gather,” he said.
Sameer
Al Mashharawi, the member of the higher movement committee of Fatah in
Gaza strip said that the Al Aqsa Martyr brigades have restored the
dignity of Fatah and that the intifada has reformulated the national
concepts. “We have to be careful of the voices that try to belittle
the Intifada and our people’s sacrifices,” he said.
Al
Mashharawi, who is also the general supervisor of the preventive
security forces in Gaza, asked President Arafat to expel the corrupt,
the cowards and the thieves.
“We
ask Abu Ammar (President Arafat) for a dignified nation, which honors
those with integrity and disgraces the weak cowards,” he said.
