Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Lebanon's Hizbollah said that negotiations with Israel had achieved nothing for the Palestinians and they now had no alternative but violence to regain their lands. He said that after 10 years of negotiations and making major concessions, the most the Palestinians could obtain was the deal offered by Israeli Labour Prime Minister Ehud Barak at negotiations brokered by former President Bill Clinton at Camp David in 2000. "The best the Palestinians could get was a fragmented state with no geographic unity, without any border except with Israel, with the sky and the sea for Israel. The Israeli settlements would stay and there was no Jerusalem," Nasrallah said.
"Hey, let's you and him fight!"
This is the "You ain't a man, without a gun in yore hand" school of thought. It could end up with most of the Palestinians, good and bad and indifferent, sitting in Tunisia and talking about the good old days and planning a comeback. To Palestinians, it seems like "planning" consists of ordering more ammunition. |
