To renounce violence !
The IRA has had to renounce
it, the ETA as well,
Nelson Mandela did
it....but he got, at least, his country
back
the PLO did
it , but got nothing in return.....
Now comes Hamas , the
democratically elected Hamas
and even before Hamas reaches its throne-ceremony
Western-voices are raised :
" Renounce violence !!!"
"accept and recognise your
oppressors"
" renounce your national rights"
" renounce your human rights"
"renounce your own homeland
"
which amounts to :
"get yourself
castrated first , and then come in my bed "
How often did we hear our
friends the pacifists , the humanists,
the anti-war-camp , the
anti-militarists....and the what-have-you
all of then converging on us with
the advise of "non violence"
or to renounce to the destruction
of our robbers,occupiers and oppressors.
While we were always on the
receiving end of that same violence......
Yasser Arafat fell into that trap,
and ended up locked in a cellar for
three years, before being finally poisoned.
OK !!
Arafat got himself a terrific and
spectacular funeral
but where did his "non violence"
lead us to ?
In Amman (1970) Arafat was a
Terrorist
in Beirut (1975) he became a
revolutionary
in Tunis (1983) he became an exile
in Gaza (1992) he became an
opportunist
and
in Ramalla(2002) , finally , he
became simply a hostage
The only time Arafat (and Fateh)
achieved any progress,
how little it may were , was in the
time when they
have had a gun in their
hands.....and have used it......
Comes Hamas........today .....
will they soon ride in the
Aircondioned Mercedes of the PA ?
or shall walk on foot that
"long march"....and
finish it ?!
The Imperial-West has planned
and helped the corruption of the PLO
exactly for the purpose of
bringing Hamas to what it became today.
Would Hamas repeat the same
mistakes as the PLO ?
would it ride the same Aircondioned
Mercedes ?
would it castrate itself ?
would we loose yet another decade ?
Raja Chemayel
still remembering
when violence ......was not a bad-word !
