Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah brigade threatens the life of an Arab activist
Fadi Elsalameen, an activist in the US, says he fears Mahmoud Abbas and his army of darkness are plotting his death:
Prominent Palestinian American activist and political commentator Fadi Elsalameen on Monday expressed fear for his life after receiving a death threat from Fatah’s armed wing, Al-Aqsa Martrys Brigades.Well with Biden now in charge of the US government, there's no chance Abbas and his gang will stop. But a good way for this man to send a message would be to stop identifying as a "palestinian", because otherwise, he'll only be furthering the propaganda that came back and hurt him.
Elsalameen, who is a US citizen, told The Jerusalem Post he has contacted the US State Department, the US Embassy in Israel, the White House and members of Congress to notify them about the threat.
“It is a known secret that al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades is a front for the Palestinian Authority’s intelligence agencies, and therefore I see the threat coming directly from [PA] President Mahmoud Abbas and his intelligence services,” Elsalameen told the Post.
Elsalameen was born in Hebron. He is an adjunct senior fellow at the American Security Project, a Washington-based think tank.
His criticism of Abbas and of corruption in the PA has earned him many followers on various social-media platforms, including Facebook.
The threat was published in a March 20 leaflet issued by Fatah, one day after Elsalameen arrived to visit his family in the West Bank.
Denouncing Elsalameen as a “traitor, spy and one of the most prominent US and Israeli agents,” the leaflet said the rifles of al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades will be directed against him.
“I am very worried for my life,” Elsalameen said. “President Abbas has refused to condemn the death threat, essentially green-lighting it. This is not the first time that the PA uses violence or threatens to use violence against me.
“In October 2016, they shot live bullets at my family’s home in Samua village, near Hebron. We collected 60 cases of live ammunition. They almost killed my entire family. Even then, the Palestinian Authority refused to condemn the attack or launch an investigation. There is a pattern here of encouraging violence against me by the Palestinian Authority, and it should stop.”
