A critic of the PLO died when they arrested him
Here's a telling example of what the PLO's dictatorship in Judea/Samaria has led to:
An outspoken critic of the Palestinian Authority who had intended to run in parliamentary elections before they were cancelled earlier this year died during his arrest by PA forces early Thursday, officials said.There can be no doubt his death was caused by the PLO deliberately, which makes it murder. But it's uncertain the EU will ever cut off funding to such a monster of a movement.
Nizar Banat was a harsh critic of the PA, which governs parts of the West Bank, and had called on Western nations to cut off aid to it because of its growing authoritarianism and human rights violations.
In a brief statement, the Hebron governorate said his "health deteriorated" when Palestinian forces went to arrest him early Thursday. It said he was taken to a hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
In early May, gunmen fired bullets, stun grenades and tear gas at his home near the West Bank city of Hebron, where his wife was inside with their children.
He blamed the attack on President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party, which dominates the security forces, saying only they would have access to tear gas and stun grenades.
"The Europeans need to know that they are indirectly funding this organization," he told The Associated Press in May in an interview at a home where he was hiding out. "They fire their guns into the air at Fatah celebrations, they fire their guns in the air when Fatah leaders fight each other and they fire their guns at people who oppose Fatah."
