 Ousted Palestinian prime minister Ismail Haniya asserted on Saturday that the annoyance inflicted on the Palestinian people including water and electricity outage, and closure of crossways by Israel was aimed at distracting them from primary causes including their right for home return, pow's, Jerusalem and refugees.
In a statement, Haniya said the Israeli enemy does not want an Islamic model that had been substantiated by Hamas in its rule and policy, fearing its effect might be transformed to the Arab and regional milieu.
| Figured that one out, didya? All in favor of having a next-door neighbor composed of psychotic Islamists raised on hatred from a tender age say 'aye'. |
"Israel wants to make success a model that has no correlation with ethics", he added. Haniya said the other consideration was to distant Hamas from the decision-making arena after it had stood defiant in its political, security and economic stances. He pointed out that the political and economic pressures imposed on the Palestinians were an attempt to weaken the political stances of his government and compulse it to accept conditions set by the quartet committee for peace in the Middle East.| Izzy's got a point; and sadly, he seems to have a clearer grasp of the various strategeries than anybody in opposition to the Islamists. Sigh. |
He wondered about the reason behind closure of the Rafah border crossing as more than 400 Palestinians were still being stranded there.| Could be all the boom belts, could be plain Israeli cussedness. Only Allan knows for sure. |
