The reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, devastated by last summer’s Israeli invasion, continues to go poorly, with continued disputes between Fatah and Hamas over the unity government keeping construction materials from entering in an efficient manner.
Fatah and Hamas have so far failed to reach a deal on the unity government, with the post-war agreement to let the Fatah-run Palestinian Authority handle imports leading to them demanding full control over the strip as a condition for letting the gear in.
At this point, Fatah and Hamas are both operating rival checkpoints at the border crossings with Israel, through which all material has to go, and Palestinians have to cope with both of them. In practice, this is stalling a lot of traffic, as few have the connections with both factions to facilitate travel.
Gaza residents are used to living in war-torn circumstances, but it’s particularly bad this year, as the region is experiencing one of the harshest winters in recent memory in the ruins of a recently finished war.
Abbas, Fatah and the PA — A dictator class that loves Israel occupation.
For if freedom and self-rule should ever come to Palestine, surely the above scumbags would loose their power, glory and most of their wealth.
But be that as it may, never has there been a government that was not ruled by the organized will of the upper half of society. Surely the root cause of all that ails Palestine, a self-absorbed and selfish culture that lacks the caring and giving mindset needed to get organized, get defiant and get so dedicated to civil disobedience that Israel is driven square out of Palestine.
For there should not be one refugee camp inside Palestine, as every home should be a safe haven with not one homeless person in all the land. Instead, the Israel kill squads and Fatah kill squads pay their almost nightly visits to the refugee camps — must keep the homeless in fearful submission to authority.
As always, we have millions marching for dead racists, and silence for suffering Palestinians.
