The Palestinian Authority Follows in the Footsteps of the Jews, Imitating their Actions Step by Step
(Translated)

The Palestinian Authority committed a crime, rather, a series of crimes, on the night of Friday, February 14, 2025, in the town of Beit Fajjar, near Bethlehem. Its mercenaries stormed the house of Mohammad Yousef Taqatqa, launching a brutal and savage attack by violently pounding on his door. They spoke Hebrew to deceive the household into believing they were from the Jewish army. As soon as he opened the door, they sprayed gas in his face and beat him with rifle butts.

Dawood Al-Sha’er, the mastermind behind this crime, threatened Mohammad’s wife, warning her not to record their assault and abuse. When Mohammad’s brothers attempted to defend him, they too were severely beaten and prevented from approaching him. Everyone who witnessed the attack initially believed the assailants were from the Jewish forces. It was only when they recognized Dawood Al-Sha’er, a senior officer in the intelligence apparatus, that they realized the perpetrators were from the Palestinian Authority.

Additionally, the PA forces arrested Fadi and Mahmoud Thawabteh and attempted to detain others.

The Palestinian Authority and its men have fully adopted the language, methods, and even the hatred of the Jews toward the people of Palestine. The more the Jews humiliate them and trample on their dignity, the more the PA grows attached to them, distancing itself further from the Palestinian people. Allah Almighty accurately describes such individuals in the Quran:

[أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ تَوَلَّوْا قَوْماً غَضِبَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مَا هُمْ مِنْكُمْ وَلَا مِنْهُمْ وَيَحْلِفُونَ عَلَى الْكَذِبِ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ * أَعَدَّ اللهُ لَهُمْ عَذَاباً شَدِيداً إِنَّهُمْ سَاءَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ]

“Have you not considered those who make allies of a people with whom Allah has become angry? They are neither of you nor of them, and they swear to untruth while they know [they are lying]. Allah has prepared for them a severe punishment. Indeed, it was evil that they were doing.” [Surah Al-Mujadila: 14-15]

If there were even a shred of wisdom within the Palestinian Authority and its security forces, they would reflect on their situation over and over again. Jews kill them, humiliate them in their own offices, and label them terrorists despite their disgraceful services on their behalf. No matter how much they kill, arrest, and oppress the people of Palestine in place of the Jews, it neither benefits them nor earns them favor. Instead, it only deepens their humiliation and disgrace.

The so-called "Palestinian state project", for which they sold Palestine and its people, has already been scrapped by the enemy. Yet, rather than realizing their failure, they continue down the path of servitude by persecuting the righteous in Palestine. Do they not see that they will never gain the approval of their masters, while at the same time incurring the wrath of Allah and His servants? Will they not reason?

We call on the Palestinian Authority, its security forces, and the criminals among them: Keep your hands off the people of Palestine and the youth of Hizb utTahrir. Keep your hands off the pure and righteous. If you do not fear Allah and the Last Day, then at least take heed from the fate of the oppressive regimes before you. They were stronger and more brutal than you, yet Allah seized them for their sins, and they had no protector against Him.
