The Devastating Blow (continued)
The Devastating Blow (continued)
The devastating character of Hamas's numbing, crushing "victory" to the Palestinian propaganda apparatus is clear from perusing the Pals' chief Internet organ in this country, the Electronic Intifada. It ran two articles today that are illuminiating.
What you have to keep in mind is that the EI is supposed to show the "nice" face in this country and the West, the "we only want peace" part. It is very slick and very good, the very best the Pals have to offer. And what they offered up today is awfully nice to read, as it basically illustrates a return to the pre-1980s "crush Israel" propaganda model. To which I can only say, "Aw-right!"
The first was "The Hamas Victory: Green Dawn, Red Dusk?" Note this:
Hamas represents a definitive departure from the Oslo model and the humiliating false discourse it propagated. Palestinians rejected that they had to be a "partner to peace"; that they were the ones who had to prove that they were not the terrorists; and that "Israeli security and self-defense" was a legitimate premise in the peace process, necessitating all of Israel's subsequent actions. It is precisely this vocabulary which greased the wheels of the machines which actively sought to extinguish the Palestinian national movement for the past 5 years, and colonized Palestinian lands in the West Bank and Gaza for the past 38.
Well. What more can I add to that except "amen"? Note what I put in boldface. Attaboy, Toufic Haddad. Honesty is the best policy! Oh, and by the way, if I were you I'd be sure to keep up this line in the media. Good work!
We also have Palestine’s New Paradigm by Sam Bahour. After first expressing regret at seeing the Islamists' rise to power, and then whining on for several paragraphs about how miserably victimized the poor, innocent Pals have been over the years, Bahour goes on to express this refreshing sentiment: "If Palestinians must choose between their annihilation and their collective memory, their choice is most likely to be the latter and their time frame, the future."
Yes indeed! The future. Bahour also proclaims Oslo dead: "For the first time since the Oslo Peace Accords, Palestinian priorities are being set independent of foreign agendas." Toufic made much the same point about Oslo, you will note. So now it's unanimous. Oslo is dead. Whew! Now is that a relief or what?
What we see here, from the Pal's "best foot forward" Internet organ, is an end -- at least for the time being -- of all the hypocritical "we want peace" blather that has wowed the media. It's right there for everyone to read, in English.
I keep on saying "for the time being" because I don't know how long all this good fortune is going to last. Stay tuned.

All of this -- Arafat, the intifadas, and now Hamas -- are the result of the international community coercing Israel to surrender land and sue for peace after the 1967 and 1973 wars. The only time in history the victor in a defensive war has been so coerced. Can one imagine Czechoslovakia being required to return the Sudetenland to Germany after WWII or allowing its 3 million ethnic Germans to return to their homes?
The Arabs are entirely justified in their belief that through intransigence and deceit, they may succeed in completing their eradication project.

Oh, the intransigence part is a given. The deceit part is what is slipping away.

A tax lawyer or other tax professional should look at Electronic Intifada's 501(c)(3) tax exempt parent organization, the Middle East Cultural and Charitable Society. Here's some information about them: http://www.omdurman.org/intifada/

Let's stop talking about how a lawyer should see this, b/c no lawyer would do it w/o being hired and paid. Obviously, a collective action is needed.

No, I think you are only seeing one side of this issue. There is clarity and I agree with you in that that is good, the fascist nature of Palestinianism is more clear because Hamas is an IslamoFASCIST movement.
However having said that the fundamentals remain. The PLO you can say was created by Britain from away back in 1920 when it first began to flirt with Hajj Amin el Husseini (who was later to become a Nazi Holocaust criminal)
Then post war see how the US and EU developed the Palestinian movement and how at every point it has supported it.
Given all of that background, and given their equal role of duplicity in Yugoslavia, the US and EU MUST find a new way to present Hamas and Fatah.
There is a difference on tactics but there is no real fundamental difference between Hamas and Fatah. That is the bottom line!
