Who Are The Palestinians? Part 2

[Sixties Fan]

• For the past two decades, the anti-Israel rhetoric of Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinian leadership has radicalized many Palestinians, to a point where they are no longer willing to accept any form of compromise or peace with Israel.
  
  
• By accusing the Trump administration of hostility to the Palestinians, the Palestinian leadership has delegitimized the US to a degree where many Palestinians now feel that Americans are legitimate targets for violence and terror attacks.
  
  
• How, exactly, do these condemnations conform with Abbas's other claims that he seeks to resume peace talks with Israel? The mask on Abbas's face has fallen once again. That mask has, in fact, been falling for many years. Perhaps one day the world will even see that.

Palestinians: Abbas's Lies and Falling Mask

Gaza’s Hamas rulers use the money and materials they receive to build terrorist tunnels that infiltrate into Israel – a fact which was pointed out two weeks ago by Jason Greenblatt, U.S. President Donald Trump's Special Representative for International Negotiations.

Israel's UN ambassador, Danny Danon, told AP on Wednesday that the responsibility for the situation in Gaza lies with Hamas.

Hamas "has been holding the people of Gaza hostage in pursuit of its own nefarious goals, ignoring their most basic needs. Hundreds of millions of dollars in international aid that should go directly towards humanitarian purposes have been misappropriated towards terror," Danon said.

"Instead of coming to the Security Council with the intent to incite against Israel, [Palestinian Authority] chairman Abbas should instead focus on disarming Hamas and putting an end to its regime of terror," he added.

During an interview on official PA TV in 2013, Mahmoud Abbas was asked about his family history and how they became refugees. In his spontaneous answer documented by Palestinian Media Watch, he did not say that Israel expelled the Arabs of Safed, but, just the opposite. He admitted that the Arab residents of Safed left of their own accord "in a disorderly way."

The reason Abbas cites for the Arab unprompted exodus is also significant. He admitted that the Arabs of Hebron and Safad committed massacres (pronunciation in Arabic: Madhbaha) against their Jewish neighbors in 1929. The Arabs of Safed, Abbas explained, "were afraid that the Jews would take revenge for the massacre [of Jews] in 1929."

Yes (and I agree), I've seen many many such reports, seldom are they balanced, and yet → they contain some very useful information.

(COMMENT)

The Association of International Development Agencies (AIDA) through, what they call the "collective voice" of its members, is a political advocacy group (by their own admission) in the occupied Palestinian territories (oPt). They are, unquestionably, a pro-Palestinian political group which has the object of creating a Mother Teresa like campaign of pressure on the Regional Communities to:

• End the Gaza Blockade and open the Gaza Ports to potential weapons suppliers.
• Open an unencumbered free route between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.​

The "Geneva Initiative" an unconventional (an out-of-the-box political alternative) was basically a MacGyver'dized assembly of the various failed political problem-solving option that took (what was considered) the best of each option for consensus consideration in the Permanent Status of Negotiations. Excluding the Elephant in the Room (Jerusalem - which both sides declared as its capital) the Israelis would essentially:

• Lift the coastal Blockade,
• Giver a 100% sovereignty and autonomy to the West Bank and Gaza Strip as one nation,
• Establish an unconditional "Route of Safe Passage between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank; and between the Gaza Strip and Jerusalem,

This an attempt to meet the objectives of the Quartet (end of the conflict), meet the Saudi Peace Plan objectives (everyone saves face with the Israelis at a defensive disadvantage given the new advances in technology), and to give the United Nations, the United States, the European Union, and the Russia Federation, a new level of credibility and influence. It simply did not work. While there were some that were convinced that the Israelis would never accept it, in the end, it was the Arab Palestinians that rejected the Geneva Initiates.

No question, that it would have been a very hard sale in Israel, Mahmoud Abbas saved the Israelis an agonizing decision making process. Abbas set the conditions for a permanent agreement:

• Pre-1967 lines (undefined but assumed to be the 4 June 67 perimeter) with its capital in East Jerusalem,
• A special resolution to the issue of the refugees (right of return).​

That was pretty much the position taken in 1988 - and - (although reworded, with the insertion of settlements) has not moved since 1988. We will never know if the Israelis would have agreed (the unknown quantity presented by the alterations made in the final negotiation phases). And maybe the Arab Palestinians negative role played an important part in the evolution of the set condition in the last two decades since there was any serious consideration.

Most Respectfully,

"The opening of the Intifada exhibition, which is organized at the University Call House in Bethlehem, stems from the importance attached by the Yasser Arafat Museum to strengthening the partnership with the Palestinian cultural and educational institutions to achieve integration among them to promote Palestinian culture and national identity."

It's funny that for a people who claim to have a 5000 year old history, they consider so much of their culture to be how they celebrate violence against Israel.

Here's Palestinian culture and national identity, from that photographer.

Do I have to mention that the Jews in Talmudic times didn't wear anything that looked like this?

The Palestinian Arabs know that saying that they are against "Jews" contradicts their message of tolerance that they want to tell the world, and themselves. But being against Jews who perform "Talmudic rituals" in "Talmudic clothes" - meaning, any Jew who does anything Jewish -is OK.

Hamas may wish to emulate Hezbollah, but Gaza is no Lebanon

 

[Sixties Fan]

With half the population density of Singapore, and given its geographical location, Gaza over the years could have become a major manufacturing hub for European markets. However, not only was the political incentive for such a development absent but the economic incentive was also lacking because of UNRWA’s ongoing assistance. The same, to a large extent, applies to Lebanon, where the authorities are content to see the Palestinians kept in shantytowns decade after decade rather than envisaging more sophisticated solutions.

We already knew that the PA hasn't been paying custodial workers for hospitals. And they have been limiting medicines to Gaza. And that while they cut payments for electricity to Gaza last year, they didn't resume it because of an agreement with Hamas but because Israel threatened them.

The story of how the Palestinian Authority has been systematically blocking basic services to Gaza - even after supposed reconciliation with Hamas last year - has not been reported by anyone.

Compare the huge worldwide outcry to the US reducing aid to UNRWA with the complete silence to the Palestinian Authority cutting medical and educational services to the exact same population in Gaza.
