"RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- Prof. Abdul Sattar Qassem, political science professor and former PA presidential candidate, has said that all detainees affiliated with Hamas in the West Bank were political detainees.
Qassem in an article published on Saturday said that not all politicians are nationalists for "there are politicians who sell the country for a few dollars, coordinate with the enemy against the country, acquire arms from the enemy and work as spies and agents for the enemy".
He said, on the other hand, Hamas is not a terrorist group but rather is a group that has offered many sacrifices and used its weapons only against occupation. Hamas remained patient for a long time despite repeated PA security apparatuses assaults and persecution of its cadres and even leaders, the professor pointed out.
Qassem described Hamas's weapons as legitimate unlike those of the PA, which only obtained weapons with Israeli approval."
