The Party Line From Egypt: The Gaza March continues
|
| It’s Al Ahram, so the text is guaranteed to be government approved. |
[AlAhram] Israeli confidence may be cracking as the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip continue their March of Return
| Or not, as the case may be. |
Israel is continuing to look for ways to end the March of Return in Gazoo because it fears that this could drag it into a war that will deplete its energy and attract international opprobrium.
Thirty thousand, twenty thousand, ten thousand, five three thousand... It’s not Israeli fears but Gazan disinterest that should concern you, O Haitham Ahmed, Al Ahram’s correspondent in the beleaguered Gaza Strip. |
Despite the military balance of power in its favour, Israel fears peaceful Paleostinian actions that could uncover Tel Aviv’s actions to the world.
It fears that this civilian struggle, like the First Intifada in the 1980s, will revive the Paleostinian cause and highlight the siege imposed on Gazoo over the past 11 years that has turned it into the largest prison in the world.

| Nobody seems to be paying much attention, especially in the other of the Palestinian territories, where they just want to get jobs, especially in Israel. |
According to Atef Abu Zeid, a front man for the Fatah faction of the Paleostine Liberation Organisation (PLO) in Gazoo, Israel has been using excessive force to deter peaceful protesters from moving towards the border during the March of Return.
| What march? A few people running toward the fence while others pointlessly hurl rocks and still others send off kites dragging tin cans full of burning fuel seems a bit embarrassing, to tell you the truth. |
Targeting journalists was meant to prevent them broadcasting the truth, he said, though this would not deter the Paleostinian people who are sure of the justice of their cause.
| Targetting the special forces of Hamas and Islamic Jihad pretending to be journalists is quite another thing, dude. |
Abu Zeid said that while the fathers may die, their children do not forget, and this strikes fear into the hearts of Israeli soldiers. There is a psychological war afoot on both sides, he said, which is why Israeli public figures have gone to the border to boost morale.
| It’s not the Israeli soldiers who just aren’t showing up. which says something about Hamas’s ability to inspire its subjects. |
The Paleostinians are marching to press their demands, and the Israelis’ confidence has reached historic lows, with 50 per cent of Israeli recruits considering leaving the army.
Retired Paleostinian general Wassef Erekat said that occupation soldiers had told the Israeli media that they "preferred months in northern Paleostine to two weeks on the border with the Gazoo Strip".
"This is nothing new, as it signals the resilience of the Gazoo Strip," Erekat said. He said that some Israelis had tried to dodge military service, meaning confidence in the army is declining along with its compliance with international law.
Farhan Alqam, an expert on Israeli affairs, said that Israel’s wars against the Gazoo Strip had shown the serious failures in its army, despite its advanced weapons, in the face of locally made Paleostinian weapons in the hands of resistance groups.
| ...which is why Israel lies in rubble while Gaza was totally rebuilt after Hamas’s 2014 attempt. |
"The Israeli soldiers do not believe in the feasibility of the battles they are fighting or in their objectives," he said. There have been reports of suicide and the need for psychiatric help among Israeli soldiers.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has asked the UN Security Council to "conduct an independent and transparent investigation" of Israeli crimes against the March of Return.
"The recent violence in Gazoo killed and injured many people for no reason. I urge all the parties to avoid any action that could result in more victims and any action that could endanger civilians.
These tragedies confirm the urgency of relaunching the grinding of the peace processor in parallel with peace and security within recognised borders," Guterres said.
Discussing the 29th Arab Summit held on Sunday in Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
, analyst Talal Okal said that the designation of the summit as the "Jerusalem Summit" and Saudi Arabia’s new financial commitments to Paleostine did not match the sums Israel spends on the Judaification of Jerusalem.
| The kind of thing that would make the observant ponder and the intelligent quake. |
The Arab world faces new challenges with US President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
in the White House because he is blindly biased towards Israel and against the rights of Paleostinians, Okal said.
| That certainly is one perspective... |
Meanwhile,
...back at the argument, Jane reached into her purse for her .38...
the Paleostinian factions Fatah and Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", are continuing their quarrel as the Paleostinian National Council (PNC) prepares to meet on 30 April in an attempt to unify the parties.
| Good luck, guys. Seriously. Because without unity you’ve got nothing. (With unity you've also got nothing, but at least it would look better.) |
Hani Masri, director of the Masarat Centre, a think tank, said that for Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
 ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial...
all that is preventing Hamas from participating is its control of the Gazoo Strip.
| Such a tiny thing is that all, and yet it is everything. |
Intense efforts must be made to prioritise an end to divisions and find agreements to compromise on all sides.
Masri added that there were other reasons preventing Hamas and Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
from joining the PNC, since they would need to agree to the PLO’s platform that includes the establishment of a Paleostinian state within the 1967 borders with Jerusalem as its capital.
| ...as a first step, at any rate. |
The requirement by the International Quartet group to recognise Israel and accept the Oslo Accords also prevents Hamas and Islamic Jihad from participating, he said.
| So true, so true. Not even the slightest it of taqiyyah there. |
Masri said that the collapse of the so-called "grinding of the peace processor" and the Trump administration’s throwing its weight behind Israel’s agenda by removing Jerusalem, the Paleostinian refugees, settlements, borders and illusory sovereignty from the negotiating table all undermine the conditions needed for Hamas and Islamic Jihad to join the PNC.
This was also true because of plans to sanction the Paleostinian Authority, reduce US aid to the UN agency UNWRA working in the Paleostinian territories, downgrade the PLO office in Washington, and relocate the US embassy to Jerusalem.
These developments made it more important than ever for Paleostinian differences to be overcome, he said.
Meanwhile,
...back at the argument, Jane reached into her purse for her .38...
the Gazoo March will continue, perhaps moving towards a new Intifada in the territories due to the deplorable economic conditions in the Gazoo Strip and the explosive social conditions within it, Masri said.
