Palestinian Nationalism

We all know the Palestinians had such high hopes for Nationalism that they were fighting for it even before the Israeli take over of their land in the 60s

oh wait... that statement would be a lie.

well, surely they are all about self determination now right........

Nope

"There's an understanding between President Mubarak and President Abbas to jointly operate the international airport," PA Information Minister Nabil Shaath said.

Cairo has also sent government personnel to man critical facilities in the Gaza Strip. Egyptian officers have been directing PA security operations.

"Abbas cannot use the security forces against Hamas or Jihad without Egyptian permission," another source said. "He could threaten, but everybody knows that the authority remains with Egypt."


Yes folks it looks like the Cairo Plan ( establishing a palestinian state to lead to a new form of war against the Israelis) is in full swing. But the thing that really warmed the depths of my heart was in the closing section of the article.

The sources said Egypt has used a carrot-and-stick approach to maintain the submission of Palestinian insurgency groups. They said the regime of President Hosni Mubarak has allowed Hamas and Jihad leaders to travel freely to Cairo. Hamas was also permitted to establish an unofficial presence in the Egyptian capital.


With this we see the Egyptian elections ( such as they are) in a new light.

The Egyptian government tossed the West a bone to allow them the free reign to occupy Gaza again.

And you won't see the Arab States or Anti-Israel moonbats and wingnuts saying a thing about it.

Why because they know what is going on is all about attacking Israel, not affirming a Palestinian nation.

People who speak to the fiction of a historical Palestinian nation, or a Palestinian national identity get talked down as nut jobs. But here once again those "nut jobs" are shown to be right.

And this is part of President Bush's moral duty....

I wonder if we will see Jordanian occupation of the West Bank again now
