Palestinians said they sympathized with the victims of the attack in the United States despite their criticism of U.S. support for Israel during the Palestinian uprising. Muslim Leaders in Palestine condemn WTC disaster, pay condolences to victims' families Occupied Jerusalem: 12 September, 2001 (IAP News) - Muslim leaders all over Palestine have condemned the two terrorist attacks in New York and Washington but called on the US to refrain from backing Israeli oppression of the Palestinian people. "We condemn these terrible attacks and offer our condolences to the inflicted, any attacks on innocent people is unacceptable," said Hamas leader Sheikh Ahmed Yasin. He described Israeli efforts at implicating some Islamic movements in what happened as "expected disinformation." "We are accustomed to this Zionist behavior, they did it at the time of the Oklahoma City bombing and they are doing it now." Sheikh Yasin said Hamas doesn't carry out operation outside Palestine. "Our struggle is against Israeli occupation, oppression and apartheid. We don't view the American people as our enemy." Yasin though urged the American government not to allow Israel to trigger anti-American sentiments around the world through Israeli dirty actions against the Palestinians." Other Muslim leaders in Palestine condemned the attacks in New York on the grounds that it caused many deaths among innocent civilians. "We don't know who did it, but irrespective of that, we condemn the attacks and believe they are inhumane and morally unacceptable," said Nayef Rajoub, an Islamist leader in Dura. Rajoub said it was unlikely that an Islamic organization was behind the attacks, arguing that the United States has many enemies around the world as well as some within the United States itself.
