The Gaza Gangsters
In other places people have suggested that I am anti-Palestinian. I am not. I am anti-Palestinian “leadership” and I am against the gunmen of all factions. So, it appears are many Palestinians.
Papers reported that some people in Gaza even want the Israelis to return to the Strip. Faiz Abbas and Muhammad Awwad, journalists for the Israeli-Arab weekly Al-Sinara, wrote: “People in Gaza are hoping that Israel will reenter the Gaza Strip, wipe out both Hamas and Fatah, and then withdraw again… They also say that, since the [start of the] massacres, they [have begun to] miss the Israelis, since Israel is more merciful than [the Palestinian gunmen] who do not even know why they are fighting and killing one another. It’s like organized crime, [they said]. Once, we resisted Israel together, but now we call for the return of the Israeli army to Gaza.” [20]
Al-Hayat Al-Jadida columnist Yahya Rabah wrote: “When the national unity government was formed, I thought, ‘This will be a government of national salvation.’ If a government that includes Fatah, Hamas, other factions and independents associated with [various] factions has not been able to save the day, it means that no one can, unless Israel decides that its army should intervene. Then it will invade [the Gaza Strip], kill and arrest [people] - but this time not as an occupying [force] but as an international peace-keeping force. Look what we have come to, how far we have deteriorated, and what we have done to ourselves.” [21]
Palestinian journalist Majed Azzam wrote: “We should have the courage to acknowledge the truth… The [only] thing that prevents the chaos and turmoil in Gaza from spreading to the West Bank is the presence of the Israeli occupation [in the West Bank]… [as opposed to] its absence from the Gaza Strip.” [22] memri
It is extremely likely that amidst the horror of Gaza there are literally hundreds of thousands of decent people whose lives are being destroyed by the bastards in Hamas and Fatah. But if they speak out the bastards - in the great tradition of the Troll of Ramallah tm - will shoot them. If the world had the wit it would cut off all support to Hamas and Fatah and figure out how to channel aid directly to the people of Palestine. Oddly, the people who probably know how to do this best are the Israelis.
