Hamas warns of regional forces involvement

Osama Hamdan, Hamas Movement representative in Lebanon, has warned that the Palestinians' main objective at present was searching for means of protecting the Palestine cause in face of Zionist premier Ariel Sharon's liquidation schemes. Hamdan warned against the involvement of regional forces (apparently referring to Egypt) in helping Sharon to carry out his goals and to take his place in quelling resistance. "Hamas has previously welcomed the Zionist withdrawal from Gaza as a coronation of the heroic Palestinian resistance's sacrifices," he pointed out. Hamdan, however, noted that the situation was currently different as Sharon changed his plan completely "and we did not hear any significant answer from Egypt so far". Hamas representative stressed that his Movement was keen on holding a dialogue with the brothers in Egypt to explain its viewpoint towards the new conditions.

#1 I don't think Hamas wants to get into a fight with Egypt's forces. Egypt won't have the restraint shown by the "Zionists"

#2 I think I'm figuring this out: Israel has made a deal with the Egyptians and Jordanians to take over, respectively, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank as "Protectorates." But when the E's and the J's move in, they will kick seven bells out of Hamas and Fatah, and set up their own puppet Palestinian regimes.
Then they will probably start "re-patriating" Palestinians to their new "countries" whether they like it or not. And they won't. And any Palestinian who cuts up rough will find himself on the end of a bayonet.

Ironically, this solves a myriad of problems all at once, and might be the best thing that has ever happened to the Palestinians.

#3 Anonymoose, your assessment works on so many levels! I can only hope you're right.

"Hamas has previously welcomed the Zionist withdrawal from Gaza as a coronation of the heroic Palestinian resistance's sacrifices," he pointed out.

As usual, this "coronation" is accompanied by increased misery for the Palestinians as the Erez industrial zone closes down, thus eliminating some 5,000 Palestinian jobs. Way to go, you "heroic freedom fighters."

Arabic thought processes are obviously not Western. This is gobbledygook devoid of information. It is totally nonreferential, as if it were commentary on a non-existent text. However, I think that, in the main, Anonymoose has broken the code. Thanks.
