op-ed: In defense of the Palestinian Authority: only because nobody has done so

Endless criticism can be said, and rightfully so, against the West bank government. Most prominently, “security coordination” through which the PA is obliged to chase, arrest and hand over Palestinian resistors. Endless corruption by the PA bourgeoisie through market monopoly, sky-high taxation, nepotism, submission to neo-colonial “development projects” and the NATO NGO superstructure, sky-rocketing Zionist colonial expansion, and so on

How did this all begin?

Some favor to trace it back to the infamous Oslo Accords of 1993. Is that really the case then? Before Oslo, all of Palestine was under direct military control, including Gaza and the West Bank. The leadership of all parties had been in exile, operating from abroad, losing multiple wars, such as the devastating 1982 defeat in Lebanon, and facing endless oppression and expulsion by Arab regimes.

Oslo brought the leadership in, gave the land its first international recognition, and included many rights for Palestinians, such as military withdrawal from Gaza and the West Bank, its own foundations, ministries, passport, etc.

The accords were a contract, and Israel violated that contract. Why do we as Palestinians still consider ourselves still obliged, enslaved to that paper?

The agreement was signed in the same year the Soviet Union collapsed, and the world headed for 30 catastrophic years of unipolar American hegemony. Arafat knew that many resistance movements were about to collapse, and Netanyahu still calls Oslo “Israel’s biggest mistake”

Arafat’s plan was to guarantee the existence of Palestine until the global status changed, until a time would come when there would be no America to support Israel, and liberation could happen in a matter of days

This plan worked for years, until the fatal Palestinian mistake: The Second Intifada. It was no accident; they had been planning it for a decade. Sharon invaded Al-Aqsa to spark national religious outrage, and responded with violence to incite more violence. The Wall: the plan to surround the West Bank and Gaza with a separation barrier, was officially proposed by Yitzhak Rabin in 1992, ten years before its construction began. Israel needed an excuse, just like (the fake?) October 7, to lock Palestinians into a cage, slowly eat at them with settler-colonial cancer until there’s nothing left, then they’d have to comply and become brainwashed (like many Palestinians in the occupied 1948 lands now)

Arafat was against the Intifada! This is stated in a book by a closest of companions. He only joined forces when there was no stopping it, and his assassination was part of the plan. The destruction of Fatah, the newly emergent Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, was necessary; by 2006, the West Bank resistance was finished. Israeli tanks and Apaches went into Ramallah’s center and made sure that happened, and the Muqata'a was bombed on top of Arafat’s head. Nobody listened to the old man…

Enter president Abbas, to a country without an army, leader, power, international support, and with a checkpoint on every street. The country was destroyed, no infrastructure, economy, jobs, facilities, or any form of life. Give my people food, electricity, medicine, education, life, stop bombing them, and do whatever you want in exchange, said the new defeated president

The rules were clear: the new government is to be obedient, corrupt, neo-liberal, subservient, and secure. There was no other option. Any honorable man is to be killed, or join the ranks of thousands of life-serving prisoners. Classism is key, European money is abundant, and anyone who stands in the way shall disappear

Far out in the west coast, the intentionally radicalized green brigades wouldn’t take it. A coup against the PA, a takeover of Gaza, and fundamentalism funded by Israel and the US. The last nail in the coffin: splitting the Palestinian people in half, and two decades of civil war to come… the plan was complete.

(or... this could all be just my illusion)

◽️ Turkey lied about halting trade with Israel 🤥

As Erdoclown tries hard to contain the crisis of public opinion after his decades-long hypocrisy was exposed, Turkish businessmen inform the Middle East Eye that since early May, Turkish goods have been re-routed through Greece and other nearby countries to reach Israel


"Figures from Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) reveal that Israel imported $116m worth of goods from Turkey in May,

In contrast, the Turkish Exporters’ Assembly (TIM) recorded only $4m worth of goods exported to Israel in May"

👔 Boycott: Lebanese style

Young men in Hermel, northeast Lebanon stop a Pepsi truck coming into the country. One of them climbs on top, waving a Hezbollah flag

This past week, many regions in Lebanon declared they will forcefully ban major American products like Coca Cola and Pepsi from passing through

I didn't really think the hate had reached this level among Israeli's !

The population has largely been turned into Arab hating Zionists !

The SAME people did it in NAZI Germany - NAZI Ukraine and NAZI Israel !

This is how they do it - by applying a NAZI ideology in the education system and endless media propaganda !

Just mass brainwashing !

Starting to think that the people of Israel can never readjust !

Maybe it is a hopeless cause !

Here it is in action !

🇮🇱🇵🇸In this apartheid state (Israel) called the last democracy in the Middle East by the West - crimes against Palestinians is the fundamental basis of this society.

▫️Senior US official resigns over Gaza war

Andrew Miller, the deputy assistant secretary for Israeli-Palestinian affairs, announces his resignation from office

The Washington Post describes him as the "most senior" US official on Israeli-Palestinian affairs to ever resign:

"Miller’s resignation, which has not been previously reported, comes amid growing frustration inside and outside government over the war’s steep civilian death toll and concerns among some that influence over policy matters has been dominated by a narrow coterie of President Biden’s closest advisers. Miller is the most senior U.S. official to resign to date whose portfolio focuses on Israeli-Palestinian issues"

Columbia - now leading by example !

Colombian Foreign Minister Luis Gilberto Murillo announced that his government will welcome up to 50 Palestinian children who lost limbs in Israel's genocide in Gaza and they will be admitted to the Military Hospital of Bogota - a top institute for physical rehabilitation treatments.

He mentioned that the children are currently in Egypt and will arrive in the coming days accompanied by a family member for a six-month period.

Murillo noted that the children are aged between 12 and 15 years old.

🔹Former Mossad chief: "I believe Nasrallah more than Netanyahu"

Tamir Pardo, former director of the the world's biggest terror organisation, criticized his baby-killer prime minister - but for the wrong reasons

"Netanyahu has no strategy or vision for anything, he is driving Israel into chaos", said Pardo to Israeli Channel 12, adding:

"Netanyahu is deaf and blind, and only acts for himself. He doesn't think about the country, and is leading us towards a distaster. To some extent, I believe Nasrallah more than him!"
