Sick and Tired of Fatah and Hamas
By Sami Jamil Jadallah
I do not know about you, but I am very sick and tired of hearing, reading, listening and talking about Fatah and Hamas. I am sick and tired of hearing, reading, listening and talking about Mishaal, Haniyah, Syiam, Abbas, Qurai, Saeb, Abed-Rabu, Azzam, Qadoomi and all [...]
This is unbelievable and really shows how absolutely clueless American politicians are:
A push by right-wing American Jewish activists to change the constitution of the governing Palestinian party is gaining momentum in Congress, even as Israelis are dismissing the document as “irrelevant,” and the umbrella body of American Jewish organizations has voted against taking up the [...]
"I will suggest that the secretary general withdraw the UN from the Quartet, if the Quartet fails to have regard to the human rights situation in the Palestinian Territories." John Dugard, UN special rapporteur
John Dugard, the UN human rights envoy for the Palestinian Territories, told the BBC the US, EU, UN and Russia were failing [...]
Via Haaretz:
…"Britain talked directly with Hamas leader Khaled Meshal and Syria to facilitate Johnston's release, violating the global boycott of the movement…"
"How can Israel and Abbas continue to ignore the only force capable of managing the Gaza Strip?….And no less important: Is there still any point in boycotting Hamas or the Israel Defense Forces' operations [...]

Ironically, Israel and US gave Fatah arms, then Israel "discover" them in raids and kills Fatah's fighters!

A building formerly occupied by Fatah's intelligence service in Gaza was long notorious for torture and execution. Now Hamas is in control — and is letting former inmates visit the chamber of horrors. The cells are small, perhaps six feet by six feet, with only an overhead lamp to provide light. The toilet is [...]

This is nothing but the first drop from the "aid flood" from Israel, U.S. and international community. But for what? For Palestinians to kill Palestinians:
Bethlehem - Ma'an – The Israeli authorities have announced that Israel intends to transfer [...]
They prefer Hamas, which represents an alternative to Fatah's acceptance of the Israeli occupation.

There is, no doubt, a whole lot of celebrating going on today. For those more afraid of negotiations than of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, or any of that violent crew, a collapsing Palestinian Authority with Gaza in absolute chaos and with Mahmoud Abbas weakened almost to irrelevancy is a dream [...]

أمر مخجل ما حدث ويحدث في الأراضي الفلسطينية المحتلة. ليس أن يقتل الأخ أخاه فقط، بل أن يستعين بعض الفلسطينيين بأعدائهم للإنتصار (ولو بالظاهر) على أخوتهم - بمعنى أخر، الأنتصار على أنفسهم، مع أن هذا "الإنتصار" هو ليس اكثر من هزيمة للذات. ففي حين أن الطائرات والدبابات والصواريخ لم تهزمهم، هزمتهم ذاتهم [...]

Rockets are falling from everywhere on innocent civilians, destroying their houses over their heads. During the last few weeks over 200 Palestinians were killed, and over 400 were injured, many are in critical conditions. Dozens of Hamas and Fatah members [...]
