et al,
You are asking if anyone on the Palestinian side condemns this?
I am sure there are. As you know, I make a distinction between the Arab Palestinian (AP) and the Hostile Arab Palestinian (HoAP).
But one must also remember that, in general, activities such as HAMAS and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, follow the Covenant; and the remainder of the Palestinians tolerate that philosophy. So while a few might condemn such violent notions, a vast majority will silently standby and allow such threatened events to unfold.
It is for this reason that the overall Palestinian Population needs to be contained. While they are not all active participants, the overwhelming majority passively support the violence that HAMAS and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad advocate and pursue.
Understanding the operational environment is fundamental to grafting the necessary protection from hostile or potentially hostile forces of elements HAMAS and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, in areas of actual or potential operations. One of the key elements essential to understand is that HAMAS and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad do not operate in a vacuum. They derive their support for continued operations from the general population. Without it, they would wither and die on the vine. The fact that they still pose a threat is demonstrated evidence that those Palestinians that appear to be nonviolent actually provide tangible support to these more violent elements. This is further reenforced by the lack of Palestinian self containment. What nonviolent elements there are, are not willing to police themselves and restrain the violent components.
Most Respectfully,
R

- ARTICLE 13: There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors.
- ARTICLE 15: The day that enemies usurp part of Moslem land, Jihad becomes the individual duty of every Moslem. In face of the Jews' usurpation of Palestine, it is compulsory that the banner of Jihad be raised.
- Arab Higher Committee Delegation: “The only way to establish partition is first to wipe them out – man women and child."
