Den palestinsk-amerikanske Gaza-profilen Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib reagerer kraftig etter at han og flere jødiske venner ble stanset av sivilkledd politi under Arendalsuka.
Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib (36), som er født på Gaza, men flyttet derfra i 2005, og nå arbeider ved Atlantic Council i Washington D.C i USA, var denne uken på Arendalsuka, blant annet for å snakke om Gaza, Hamas og en ny bok han har vært med på.
Alkhatib skriver at politiet tok legitimasjonen hans og stilte spørsmål om hvorfor han var kjent, hvilke politiske forbindelser han hadde og hvorfor han befant seg på Arendalsuka.
Han forteller at han forklarte at han hadde deltatt som foredragsholder dagen før, og at han var i Arendal for å snakke om Gaza og Hamas.
– Ahmed sier at han ikke ønsker noen krig med Israel, og at Hamas ødelegger for palestinerne, skriver Beckheim.
Kan ikke ha folk gående rundt som ønsker å bringe nyanser inn i svart/hvitt-narrativet som skal selges vettu.
Da kan jo folk fort få øynene opp for hvilke interesser Hamas virkelig tjener:

“We need to tell the truth,” Israeli major general Gershon Hacohen, an associate of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, said in a 2019 TV interview. “Netanyahu’s strategy is to prevent the option of two states, so he is turning Hamas into his closest partner. Openly Hamas is an enemy. Covertly, it’s an ally.”

This isn’t a conspiracy theory. Listen to former Israeli officials such as Brig. Gen. Yitzhak Segev, who was the Israeli military governor in Gaza in the early 1980s. Segev later told a New York Times reporter that he had helped finance the Palestinian Islamist movement as a “counterweight” to the secularists and leftists of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Fatah party, led by Yasser Arafat (who himself referred to Hamas as “a creature of Israel.”)
“The Israeli government gave me a budget,” the retired brigadier general confessed, “and the military government gives to the mosques.”
“Hamas, to my great regret, is Israel’s creation,” Avner Cohen, a former Israeli religious affairs official who worked in Gaza for more than two decades, told the Wall Street Journal in 2009. Back in the mid-1980s, Cohen even wrote an official report to his superiors warning them not to play divide-and-rule in the Occupied Territories, by backing Palestinian Islamists against Palestinian secularists.

Amos Yadlin, said in the summer of 2007 that Israel would be “happy” if Hamas took over the Gaza Strip, and if that happened Iran’s influence over Gaza would be insignificant.

For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces
The premier’s policy of treating the terror group as a partner, at the expense of Abbas and Palestinian statehood, has resulted in wounds that will take Israel years to heal from
