What is going on in the Israel’s occupied Palestine, no doubt shame all Palestinians. The on going fight between Fatah and Hamas and their respective militias and thugs and the ongoing killing and counter killing and murder of Palestinians by Palestinian hands does not make any Palestinian whether living under Israeli Occupation or living in the Diaspora any proud let alone hopeful that one day, the Israeli Occupation will end and the Palestinian people will be the LAST free people on this planet.
While some people did not expect the Palestinians would shed their own blood with their own hands, this was expected, ever since Arafat returned to the Occupied Territories with thousands of armed men, and of course with the build up of the many different and competing security agencies authorized and funded. It was bound to happen.
Arafat promoting competing services sawed the seed for such a civil conflict, and with his preventive securities abusing so many people sawed the seed for the present armed conflict. The issue is no longer one of liberation and independence from Israel and is no longer one of securing funding for the many unpaid employees, but to prevent expansion of the armed fight between Hamas and Fatah and of course their respective militias and thugs.
Hamas and Fatah have turned Palestine into a pool of blood, not one for liberation but one of competing selfish interests. Who said the Palestinians need over some 70,000-armed militias and need so many different security organizations. Beside Israel, these competing militias are the biggest source of threat for Palestinians, they are now the main source of insecurity the Palestinians feel these days. The respective leadership of both Fatah and Hamas do not see that the people have other worries and they are acting as if the people do not have worry with the daily raids and daily killings committed by Israeli soldiers? What is the hell wrong with these people and what is the hell wrong with the leadership of both Fatah and Hamas? What is the hell wrong with the Palestinian street for accepting such reckless behavior?
The leadership of both Hamas and Fatah are acting with reckless disregard for the welfare of the people they pretend to represent; they are acting with so much maleous toward each other and toward the general public at large, that they lost any legitimacy to represent the people. Hamas and Fatah and their leadership are nothing more than armed militias and are not political parties with constituencies at large, with agendas for liberations and independence. They are getting even with each other and the people are paying the price. Fatah want to get back in power to sit at the cash register.
Instead of working together in ending one of the longest occupations in the 20th century, they are fighting each other for “crump of the occupations” for money and dollars. Fatah and Hamas are nothing more than mafias now and are acting like mafias putting the people at risk and cooperating if not darn helping and assisting the Israeli Occupation.
At one time, some times ago, before Arafat and his thugs returned to Palestine, and before Hamas wanted to populate heaven, the Palestinians used to be very proud of their education. The ambition of young students where admission to some of the best schools and universities. Now the ambitions of young men is to join the different armed militias and carry a loaded gun, putting their lives at risk and putting the lives of the people at risk. Never one imagined that the Palestinians people will one-day reach this low. However, for those who forgot, thousands of Palestinians died in internal fighting even during the heydays of the PLO in Beirut. Fatah have engaged in internal fights before and have engaged in armed fights with other “militias” members of the PLO. What is happening now is an extension of the lawless mentality that the PLO and Fatah have instilled in the people. Hamas within a short time, have proven it is no better than Fatah, perhaps less corrupt, but equally guilty of reckless disregard for the national interest and has proven that its priorities are not liberation but power and whatever comes with power.
I only have these words to both Hamas and Fatah and their respective leadership, you shame all Palestinians. Work together to end the Occupation, stupid!
