I think Palestinians want to be more active politically, but, as you know, Mr. Hart, the media has poisoned the well against them. To this, add the outright harassment, blacklisting, and sabotage of diaspora Palestinian organizations. If there is some kind of short and sweet solution, it has not become apparent yet.

It is apparent to me that the real goal of Israel ultimately is rule of the entire world from Israel under its New World Order aristocracy, and not just a greater Israel. Zionists believe they can rule better than anyone. I much appreciate Alan’s proof that it is Israel that has resisted peace when the Palestinians have been amenable via Arafat’s efforts. Generally, the world is blind to this truth. I believe Israel’s lack of desire for peace is rooted in its quest to rule the world from a third temple in Jerusalem.

Zionism controls world politics not just a small country in the Middle East.

It is So Clear That Imprisoned, Starved down And Beat down..Shot at.. Palestinians Can do Very Little BUT TRY TO Survive such Horrific Actions against Them . The Truth and THE Problem there has been ongoing for years…Is being FED and Kept Alive Against These Palestinians who have Been Ousted From their Lands And Made Prisoners on that sliver of their own land that is called Gaza, by these Usurpers. How is This Made Possible..For All of These YEARS ?? The Citizens Of This USA Knows This IS A Horrible Wrong that is being “”Kept Going’ Because our GUVMT ? IS>>Using OUR TAX Money To Support The Zionist Madmen in This Horrendous-on-going Action against a Helpless Population . IT Has to be STOPPED. Get these Zionist Dual Citizenship Mongrels OUT of OUR Congress..And Run Out of This Country All of hem , and Their Mongrel Puppies Who are Also Paid Well TO Keep This Wrong Going. People ! Haven`t you noticed..yet..That our daily newspapers are All taken over by these Zionist ( soulless Creatures and are filled with Nothing of Any Real substance for The People Is Ever Present.. And The paper Gets Thinner Every month ! and soon even It will Soon be Totally Missing For are All owned By these Zionist jews who Print The ..News..Lies.. but too many people are now beginning to Wise up. When It Is the Democratic Thing to do.. [OUR 'Peaceful Path'] ..is to VOTE these “”Members OUT of Congress and OUR ? White House…while expecting the system not to be Rigged Against them !] they have to be dumb as a rock. Change Does not Come To those IN Power.. Not unless THEY are the ONES Opting for That Change. Does Anyone Honestly Think for One Second That the Change that HAS TO Occur.. in our favor… Is going to Happen At THE Polling Booths ? You`d Have to be More naive than A Two year old Child .
A round-a-bout Way To say… This USA has Got to Get these Traitors OUT of Our Politics, Completely..THEN It Will be Possible TO Do What Needs to be Done..FOR these Helpless Palestinians. It has to Begin AT THE Source. The USA is Guilty of Assisting and Abetting These Cruelties That ARE Being Carried OUT..There..And All Over. It HAS TO Be Stopped. WAKE UP..Find your Conscience.. People !

It will require a superhuman effort of restraint for young Palestinians to be all totally non-violent. Colonial powers always subvert the “elders”, sometimes crudely, with bribes (no names given !) sometimes a bit more subtly. Younger people can fall into the pattern set by their elders, or, as I think many young men in Palestine do, try to work out how they can be different from the corrupted, a process that takes time. With a heavy proportion of young men unemployed and possibly with little prospect even of finding a wife, frustrations must overwhelm many. Then, as we all know, the occupiers can use agents, including agents provocateurs.
I hope that Alan Hart’s solution will occur, but the difficulties are huge, partly because of demography.

You advocate the Palestinians to protest on a daily basis in a non violent way? They already protest on a weekly basis non violently – and their people are shot, tear gassed, imprisined and killed indiscriminately. I appreciate some points in your approach to finding the solution, but I am sure that Palestinian residents are dying at a quick enough rate as it is in their quest at dying for freedom!

The real reason behind Palestinians’ failure to recover their stolen land was described decades ago by the famous Orientalist, professor Edward Said.

“Palestinians will get their freedom only when American receive their freedom (from Jewish Lobby),” he said.

One cannot expect the western powers to destroy the sanctuary they created to solve their centuries-old “Jewish Problem”. The PLO, Fatah and other secular resistance groups are controlled by the US and EU, which themselves are controlled by the Organized Jewry. Islamic groups like Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Hizbullah are the only ones some successes against Israel on battle grounds and in PR. That’s why these Islamist are declared “terrorist organizations” by the US, UK, Germany, France, Australia, Israel, etc. while western puppet Arab regimes have declared Palestinian cause as “Iranian problem”.

PA president Mahmoud Abbas is known USraeli poodle. His mandate expired in January 2009, but is kept in power by the US, EU Israel, and Vatican as counter-balance to Hamas.

To be SURE>..Sammi And Also, Ontogram.. Both Brought up Many Points I was Going to Bring up. One Comment Caught my Attention ( Loud and Clear ) That The “”western media ” .. [In fact..The Whole Universe] should stop making false assumptions and misleading statements. that are meant for but one Purpose…To Keep Right on Stirring Up As much Angst As Possible. Don`t ever think..for one second…That THE “”Whole World Might NOT ? Know What is Really going on In that Confiscated piece of Territory ! WE Do KNOW. And yes.. agreed, it would be the Best Move This USA Could Make.. TO Dump Isitreal >>And Stop Coddling That Money-grubbing ,war-mongering Bunch right now, and FOREVER.
As for The Poor Palestinians Being Able to Do Anything To “Help improve Their Circumstance..The DAY will Never Arrive When They will ‘roll over And Play dead ‘.. to please These “”Usurpers of their homes And ‘Guardhouse Criminals ? ‘ YES ! Wouldn`t that Please This Bunch of Zionists who Must be Thinking.. that enough TIME Under Captivity Will Force them to ‘Give Over .’ IT will Not happen. AS For Thinking This sort of “”GIVE’ Would be Beneficial to The Gazans`./// How Foolish Can ONE Get ?? Alan,,Surely YOU do not Believe That would Ever Work..much less, come to Pass .

If not for U.S. arms and funding, Israel would not exist. The Amerikkkan government is responsible for the continued oppression of the Palestinians.
Unfortunately our political “leaders” are all bought and owned by the zionazis. BDS is having an effect and this is of concern to the zionists and their apologists!

I agree with almost everything Alan writes here. Dissolving the PA and thus putting the whole administration of the West Bank back into Israel’s lap would make Israeli apartheid visible to the last person on earth, and human beings know how to fight a clear fight against apartheid. The international community would be faced with a clear situation and would repeat what happened against South Africa.
Replacing the PA with a newly-elected PNC is a must, and this can only be done by Palestinians. Many want this, but nobody is doing the nuts-and-bolts work to get it to happen. We in solidarity cannot do this.
What little thing can we in solidarity do? Alan correctly calls twice for ‘isolating and sanctioning’ Israel. This is indeed what we can do, in addition to the boycott and divestment already happening under the BDS Call.
Some of us have brought a motion for the UK Palestine Solidarity Campaign’s Annual General Meeting of 23 January in London calling for the PSC to lobby the British Government to use its position on the Security Council to move for Israel’s expulsion from the UN under UN Charter Article 6.
I hope Alan and others will support this during the next 10 days before the vote and thereafter, as a long-term project, from the solidarity grassroots, in hopes that leading BDS people will also support it. This is a measure of ‘isolating and sanctioning’ that would really hurt Israel’s elite.
