Palestinian Freedom Conference (Pt 10): BDS, A Strategy To Help Free Palestine #3 - Omar Barghouti
(COMMENT)What are you trying to say?
RE: Palestine Today
⁜→ P F Tinmore, et al,
The question becomes: What makes you think that the Arab Palestinians of the West Bank and Jerusalem would be any freer → if the Israelis unilaterally withdrew → than the Arab Palestinians are today???
(COMMENT)What are you trying to say?
The game in the Middle East is about gaining governmental control such that the corrupt officials could skim monies off the top of the operating budget, to award contracts to companies that they own a significant interest in → profiting from their position, buying land and rezoning for resale at inflated prices, etc, etc.
It is not at all about democracy or freedom. Just look at the development of the Gaza Strip under HAMAS...
◈ Khaled Mashaal, former Political Leader of Hamas, is worth an estimated $2.6 billion
◈ Dr. Musa Abu Marzook, Deputy Political Bureau Chief of HAMAS, estimated net worth at $2-3 billion.
Political control is about power and influence. Power and influence are about the accumulation of wealth. The Arab Palestinians of the West Bank, Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip, are "inherently corrupt just like their rights. But in order to maintain their power and influence, they must actually maintain a certain level of tension between the three.
Most Respectfully,
