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…
