Comrade Abu Wadih, spokesperson of the Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, armed wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, emphasized that our Palestinian people have the right to exercise all forms and means of struggle to gain their rights, emphasizing that all of our options must be kept open to people without restrictions in the face of the ongoing criminal occupation.
Abu Wadih, in a television interview on February 3, 2009, stressed that the barbaric aggression on the Gaza Strip was an attack by a brutal occupier on the entire Palestinian people, not an exchange of fire between two equal parties. He stated that the position of the Front and of AAMB was clear on the question of ceasefire - that resistance will continue so long as the occupation continues, including the siege of Gaza and closure of the crossings.
Comrade Abu Wadih stressed that the Palestinian resistance is central to people's lives, not isolated from the people, as is the case with all national liberation movements. The occupier, he noted, attempts to use this as a pretext to justify its massive bombing and massacres against our people, the attacks on civilians and the use of all forms of weaponry, including internationally banned weapons, including tanks, aircraft, warships bombs and missiles. The entire world, he said, is a witness to the crimes committed by the occupier in Gaza and exposes the utter falsity of claims to Zionist "ethical conduct." Internationally, the people of the world expressed massive popular support for our people under aggression and siege.
The occupier attempted to destroy the resistance, said Abu Wadih, however, as the Palestinian resistance is popular, it cannot be isolated or destroyed. The Palestinian resistance is struggling based on the popular masses, for the right of the Palestinian people to liberation and self-determination, and in order to attempt to destroy those fundamental rights, the occupier bombed children, the elderly, schools, homes and social institutions - yet nevertheless met only steadfastness and never defeated the resistance.
Comrade Abu Wadih stressed that the rockets of the occupation have continued despite all of the attacks of the occupier, noting that these are not made in traditional weapons factories but rather through a simple manufacturing process, and that the occupier has attempted to make up for this through fictitious victories and attempts to cover up their crimes in Gaza.
He emphasized that the U.S. and Britain have continued to support and strengthen the occupier through massacre after massacre, providing a sophisticated military arsenal, while the Palestinian people have had to develop all forms and means to resist occupation in the face of this war machine, through sixty years of occupation and displacement. He stated that there will be no need for resistance when our people are liberated and can return to our land and homes. Abu Wadih provided a summary of AAMB operations through the aggression, including launching 177 rockets, 115 mortar shells and more than 15 RPGs, in addition to much work in conjunction with other resistance groups. AAMB fighters also fought in many gun battles with occupation soldiers, sniped occupation soldiers, detonated car bombs and numerous roadside explosive devices targeting enemy military vehicles and tanks.
Comrade Abu Wadih paid tribute to the martyr Comrade Ashraf Banar, who fell in the battle against the occupier.
