A Hamas-affiliated Palestinian engineer from the Gaza Strip was shot dead on Saturday near the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur in an assassination blamed on the Mossad. Malaysian police confirmed these report and claim that an investigation is still underway. Al-Batash was assassinated when two unidentified individuals fired more than ten bullets at him. its a certainty that Israel are able to use Hamas as a justification for failing to negotiate with the Palestinian Authority. On a number of occasions, when peace talks have been instigated by Egypt and the United states, no progress has been made, due to Israel not wanting to give an inch to Hamas, who the Israeli's claim, are a terrorist organisation.
Ever since YouTube and Google announced the plan to censor material coming out of Palestine, More killing of unarmed Palestinians have taken place, more illegal settlement expansions have been announced and no remorse at all has been shown by the Israelis who overwhelmingly support the idea of a complete annexation of the remaining palestinian regions, at any cost, including ethnicly cleansing the lands. A notion notoriously supported by Naftali bennet, the man many Israelis are claiming is set to replace Netanyahu in the upcoming Israeli elections. Naftali bennet would be the new face to push the brand of Zionism and he very much has the full support of rabbinical world also. With Neocons in power in both Israel and the USA, its very unlikely to see any improvments in the Palestinians plight of seeking self determination in their native homelands and it also looks like israel will continue to use Hamas and Palestinian protests as an excuse, for not wanting to negotiate peace terms with the Palestinians. More killings like the one seen in Malaysia yesterday, could be very likely. Hamas dispatched a senior delegation to meet with Malaysian officials and follow up on the investigation of the shooting. This also really puts Malaysia in a sticky position as they are not known for being very friendly with Israel and their foreign policy. It also seems very unlikely that anything will come of this investigation, even if the Mossad are blamed for the murder.
