Paradigm shift in Palestine, by Thierry Meyssan –
When it was created, Hamas was financed by the United Kingdom(#UK). It was supported by the Israeli secret services to weaken Yasser Arafat’s #Fatah. Israel then fought it and assassinated its religious leader, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin. Then, once again, Israel used Hamas to eliminate the leaders of the Marxist Palestinian Resistance.
Hamas fighters accompanied by Mossad agents and #AlQaeda jihadists attacked the Palestinian #Yarmouk camp at the start of the war against #Syria [1]. But today, once again, Hamas is fighting its erstwhile ally, #Israel.
As President Mahmoud #Abbas’s health weakens, Fatah is divided into three military factions:
- that of Fathi Abou al-Ardate, the national security chief
- Mohammad Abdel Hamid Issa (alias "Lino"), commander of the Kifah al-Moussallah (armed struggle). It follows in the footsteps of Mohamed Dallan, the former head of Palestinian intelligence who assassinated Yasser #Arafat. Today, it is supported by the United Arab Emirates.
- that of Mounir Maqdah, former military chief of Fatah, who is closer to Hamas, #Qatar, #Turkey and #Iran.
Last month, clashes pitted these three factions against those of #Hamas Islamists, as well as Jund el-Cham and al-Chabab al-Moslem, two jihadist groups that fought alongside #NATO and #Israel against the Syrian Arab Republic. Violent fighting took place at the Aïn el-Héloué camp (Sidon, South Lebanon). At the time, I interpreted them in the light of those at Nahr el-Bared (North #Lebanon) in 2007, before realizing that they were linked to the agony of Mahmoud Abbas

Paradigm shift in Palestine, by Thierry Meyssan
The bloody conflict in geographic Palestine comes after 75 years of equally murderous injustice. Under international law, Palestinians have the right and duty to resist Israeli occupation, just as Israelis have the right and duty to respond to the attack…

🇸🇾 🇵🇸 How Syria's HTS is quietly dismantling the Palestinian cause | The Cradle
The day after #HTS forces entered #Damascus, they launched a wave of closures targeting Palestinian faction offices. Those belonging to #Fatah al-Intifada, the #Baath-aligned Al-Sa'iqa movement, and the #PFLP-GC were shuttered, with their weapons, vehicles, and real estate seized.
The #DFLP, which had maintained a lower profile during the Syrian war, was allowed to continue operating though under observation.
in December, several faction leaders convened at the Palestinian embassy ,they attempted to arrange a formal meeting with Sharaa via Syria’s FM. Instead, a messenger from HTS arrived and demanded full disclosure of all faction-owned assets, including real estate, bank deposits, vehicles, and weapons. No political engagement would be possible until a comprehensive inventory had been submitted.
HTS officials order Palestinian resistance factions to disarm, close bases in Syria -

🇵🇸🇸🇾 Stealing Palestine: Who dragged Palestinians into Syria’s conflict? ~ Sharmine Narwani for RT | The Wall Will Fall – 2014
This is an article I started researching when I first visited #Yarmouk camp outside #Damascus in 2012 – back when it was an ‘oasis of calm.’ Much has changed since then, but today, this much is clear :
Palestinians didn’t jump into the fray in #Syria. They were dragged into it – violently and reluctantly. Here is the story of how and why Palestinians and their 14 refugee camps became strategic targets in the Battle for Syria – and who stood to gain politically and militarily from all the destruction. Moreover, this is a story told from inside the camps, in the words of Palestinian factions, NGOs, refugees and fighters alike.”
