The Great Hamas & Fatah Enigma!
The Great Hamas & Fatah Enigma!
Historically The Hamas organization of Palestine was active in violent responses to Israel's incursions into Palestinian territories. They are alleged to have encouraged suicide bombers to invade the territories of Israel, in reaction to Israel domination, and usurpation of Palestinian lands.
Their is an alleged clause in Hamas's Party Constitution, that stipulates for the destruction of Israel. And the possibility of Israel & Palestine living alongside each other as soverign states, was never accepted by Hamas.
So this new victory at the polls which gives them a majority in parliament, has frightend many western leaders, and amazed middle eastern leadership also.
Hamas is a beginner at playing politics. This will be a new reality for them as a political and religious movement to reconcile. Statesmanship will be expected of them by the world at large. Financial aid from donor countries, Easterrn and Western alike, is absolutely necessary for the Palestinian people to survive.
The former oppostion to Israel as a legitimate neighbor, and a soverign state will have to be accepted, and their ambassadors must prepare to negotiate and hold discussions with Israel. Reorientating themselves to this reality is vital for the peace process, and the maintenance of peace within the region.
The possibility of a Palestinian State in the near future hinges upon what policies and actions are taken now in this regard. And the former aggresive tactics towards Israel will have to cease immediately.
The Palestinian people have spoken democratically for the first time, their disgust for currupt government. They have chosen Hamas as their Political administrators, based on their track record of positive, honest, and meaningful assistance hitherto, in times of need.
And I hope that the Palestinian people will never have to regret taking this decision.
Om Shanti.
