You are a political leader. Your country and
people have been subjected to long years of occupation and brutality by a
foreign power. Your people are suffering horribly, they are being summarily
executed, tortured and generally tormented by the forces of occupation who
enjoy complete control over your land. Despite this, you manage to hold things
together - just. You manage to buy some weapons to protect your people and
you, like your countrymen and women, still burn with the desire for freedom.
What's your strategy?
Appeal to the international community?
Raise awareness of the injustice of the occupation?
Defend your people and their livelihoods at every opportunity?
Take offensive action against the invaders?
All of these tactics and more have been used over the years by occupied
peoples. They are an obvious, logical and natural response by any group of
indigenous people to oppression at the hands of an foreign power. But not in
Palestine. Not if you are a member of Hamas or Fatah. Or so we are meant to
believe.
Now here is an odd strategy
No sir! If you are a Palestinian, your special tactic to rout the forces of
the enemy is to attack and kill your fellow Palestinians.
Makes complete sense, right?
Three days ago, more "infighting" broke out between Hamas and Fatah, or so the
mainstream media would have us believe. Those Palestinians you see, they
aren't like you or I. You or I would unite together and attack the enemy that
had invaded our country. The Palestinians? They attack each other.
No one knows why, they're just different. Stupid I suppose.
Maybe it's true what so many Zionist leaders have said, maybe the Palestinians
are more animal, more "cockroach", than human. What other reason can there be
for their apparent desire to attack each other than the obvious enemy - the
murderous IDF? If you still need convincing, just take a look at the news
reports from the last few days:

Mysterious light skinned gunmen
Sunday March 11, 2007
Associated Pres ..
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Palestinian gunmen from Hamas and Fatah exchanged
fire in the Gaza Strip early Sunday, killing a local militia leader and
wounding seven people in the most serious flareup of violence since a
power-sharing deal between the political rivals last month.
Both sides blamed each other for starting the battle in the northern town
of Beit Hanoun.
|
Hamas said a truckload of Fatah gunmen opened fire on the militant
group's forces near the town's sports club, killing a Hamas field
commander, Mohammed Kafarneh. Fatah said the shooting began when Hamas
attacked a compound of the security forces with rocket-propelled grenades.
Later, Hamas and Fatah gunmen also exchanged fire for a few minutes in
Gaza City.
Sunday's death was only the second since last month's Saudi Arbaia-backed
Hamas-Fatah cease-fire which cleared the way for talks on setting up a
Hamas-Fatah coalition government. [...]
With the Hamas-Fatah coalition not yet established, little progress was
expected at a meeting Sunday between Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud
Olmert. [...]
Abbas will ask Olmert to halt Israeli military operations in the West
Bank, as part of an effort to broaden an informal cease-fire, in place in
Gaza since November, Erekat said.

Israeli posing as Arabs |
Undercover Israeli force abducts a Palestinian child from Bethlehem
Undercover Israeli forces in Action - 2006
An Israeli army undercover force abducted a Palestinian child on Monday
midday from the southern West bank city of Bethlehem.
Eyewitnesses stated that undercover Israeli masked soldiers using a
civilian car sped to the entrance of Duhisha refugee camp located on the
eastern side of Bethlehem.
Hamza Hmamda, 16, was standing at the camp entrance when the force took
him by suprise then forced him into the car. He was taken to a nearby
Israeli military base just outside the city.
Then, Rima Merriman, a Palestinian American living in Ramallah, in her
series, 'Portraits of Palestinian Resistance', tells us:
|
Israel's control of and entrenchment in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, its
continual attempts to stamp out Palestinian resistance to the occupation
at any cost, relies heavily on intelligence gathered by Shabak, the
5,000-strong Internal General Security Service of Israel, whose motto is
"Defender who shall not be seen".
With a cadre of well-trained, Arabic-speaking Israeli informants who are
indistinguishable physically from the Palestinian population, Shabak has
little problem gathering intelligence on a people whose every movement is
regulated by hundreds of check points and by total Israeli control on
their borders. These infiltrators prey on Arab innate hospitality and
friendliness. The Palestinians call them "musta'ribeen", i.e., "those who
appear to be Arabs". Palestinians are not surprised when someone,
somewhere comes up to them and says: Got you!

Ayman al-Zawahiri Magoo ...Former cartoon character and now
"al-Qaeda number two"
Two days after these most recent "factional clashes" in Palestine, the
Mr Magoo of the "Islamic terror" world Ayman Al-Zawahiri popped his head
out of some Mossad-owned massage parlour in Tel Aviv to slam Hamas for not
being tough enough on Israel, and, who can blame him!
In an audio recording posted on the Internet on Sunday, al Qaeda's
Ayman al-Zawahri accused Hamas of serving U.S. interests by agreeing to
respect past Palestinian peace accords with Israel in a recent
Saudi-brokered unity government deal with moderate Palestinian President
Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah.
Zawahri said the Mecca accord, which calmed weeks of Hamas-Fatah
warfare in which more than 90 Palestinians were killed, was part of an
attempt by Washington to offset Muslim anger at what he described as its
bias toward Israel.
|
It is kind of strange though that the alleged "al-Qaeda number two"
condemned the Mecca accord which "calmed weeks of Hamas-Fatah warfare",
while at the same time some "suspicious group" is attacking members of
both Hamas and Fatah, which is helping to bring down a unity government
that was agreed as a result of the Mecca accord.
If I didn't know better - that the Palestinians, like all Arabs, are
simply unable govern themselves - we might even think that there was some
connection between these two events...that the "suspicious group"
attacking Hamas and Fatah officials and the people behind al-Zawahiri and
"al-Qaeda" were one and the same.
Then again, that would be one of those crazy conspiracy theories, now
wouldn't it.
