ONE EYE FOR MANY EYES

One does not need to be an expert in geopolitics to know better… better than many experts. I saw it coming, though had to show some hope, as the mortal tide and destruction reaches, already, beyond any reasoning.

Israeli governments, for a long time, have been playing hide and seek with the statehood of Palestine with one aim in mind: undermine any chance, at any cost, of the Palestinians getting their deserved state. And they’ve been playing it with their worst enemy, Hamas, to get to the other lesser enemy, Fatah. The facts are known and do not need more explaining.

What I was expecting, in the aftermath of the heinous terrorist attack by Hamas, was for Biden to see, clearly, the chance of his long lifetime and, wisely, say it out loud:

‘Mr. Abbas, it is your duty to hunt down this terrorists and unify, for good, Palestine under one government. You’ll have our help, and the help from the Israeli government I will make sure of that. The time has come for righting the many wrongs. The Palestinian people should gather around you and show the world they, too, have had enough of this cruelty and insanity. Please, do it!’

Instead, they are back to the same old rhetoric of ‘You can count us in. Big bloody messes it’s what we love. You are right even when you do wrong.’ 

And what are we witnessing? A lot of innocent children, women, people, suffering, dead, in despair, chased away into oblivion… I rest my case!
