The Role of the U.S., Arab Regimes and the Palestinian Authority
As the Zionist colonial army continues unabated in its onslaught of murder against the besieged Gaza Strip, escalating the number of killed to 290 and rising, with over 800 injured and 200 in critical conditions, it is important to briefly evaluate the role of the United States, Arab regimes, and the Palestinian Authority in allowing these massacres to continue.
The United States:
Undoubtedly, these acts of colonial murders would not be possible without a diplomatic and political green light from the failed Bush Administration. This Administration, plagued with consecutive disastrous decisions, from the war on Iraq and Afghanistan to the collapse of the overall US economy, is further displaying its disregard to international law and moral obligations. The neo-cons of the Bush Administration believe that they can bomb the area into a new Middle East, where resistance to colonial power is non-existent. They seek to control land mass, waterways, air space, and oil resources that are concentrated in the Arab world, to rob resources just as they have robbed banks, investments, and homes in the US. These attempts are taking place directly by the US in Iraq and Afghanistan and indirectly through Zionist colonialism in Palestine and Lebanon. Many believe that the Obama presidency will cause a significant change in this policy. Yet to date, we have not heard a condemnation or a position from Barak Obama. This is a chance to set a new policy regarding Palestine, Iraq, and the Middle East as a whole. We call on the US peace and justice movement to continuously demand a clear position of justice and a change of US policy under the Obama tenure, which to date has not shown any movement in that direction. A honeymoon of continued failed policies is not an option, as it has a bitter taste to its recipients.
The Arab Regimes:
It is beyond shameful that Arab regimes have entered servitude to a point that the Israeli murders in Lebanon and Palestine no longer invoke any relevant reactions. There should be no illusion that a reaction will come. Those are client regimes in their entirety, imposed on the Arab masses by force and through dictatorships. These despotic regimes do not represent the aspiration and hopes of the Arab people and hence can't be expected to assume their expected role to protect sovereignty and dignity. A regime change throughout the Arab world is a must, without which the Arab people will continue to suffer from despotism and dictatorial rule. Arab wealth belongs to the Arab impoverished Arab masses, not to monarchs and dictators.
The Palestinian Authority under Mahmud Abbas:
The PA was ushered into reality by Oslo and Madrid. It is an authority brought to existence to carry out the policies of a Bantu government, much like the role played in South Africa under Apartheid. It has a functionary and complicit role. Only today, it stopped protests in Ramallah rather than join the people in protest. It plays the role of an overt policeman and security agent for the Zionist army. Politically, the Palestinian movement was never about securing servitude or a Bantustan, nor is it about truncated borders and partial rights. The PA is playing the role of misleading the Palestinian people to a path of neo-colonialism away from liberation, very much similar to what many decolonized nations went through during the decolonization era from the fifties to the seventies. The PA has evolved to be a real hurdle to liberation, not the needed catalyst for freedom.
In essence, the current onslaught has the complicity and explicit agreement of 4 players: Israel, the US, Egypt, and the PA. Only with such explicit complicity could such murder take place before the eyes of the world.
Call to Action:
The time is now to seek full change in policies in the United States and the Arab world. Peace and justice are inseparable, and real chance can only occur when the Palestinian people, particularly those starved and besieged in Gaza, achieve full freedom and independence. It is time for Zionist colonial actions and their complicit Arab despots to be exposed. The Lebanese people have proven that the Zionist army can and will be defeated. The Palestinian people in Gaza will do the same despite starvation and wholesale murder.
The FPA is issuing consecutive statements on the ongoing Gaza massacres to
call for action and to focus a light on some of the critical aspects of what is
occurring [see evidence link below for a full list of statements].

Various people do not trust that a thesis service can compose good phd thesis, but I purchase the computer thesis of great quality and I am happy.
The people of Gaza need to decide for themselves when their lives have had enough misery and hatred and want to live in peace and have prosperity. They need to express that desire by empowering leaders with one vision instead of the other.
Perhaps I am misinformed, but I doubt it. Israel is neither a puppet of US imperialism nor a wellspring of evil. I believe Israel is a democracy dedicated to providing the best possible quality of life for its citizens. If I had the power to change anything about Israel, it would only be to change it from being a “Jewish State” to a secular one; religion becomes a poison when it is part of government.
If I see an armed soldier that represents something I hate and I decide to express my feelings by throwing a rock at him, how should I expect him to respond? To nurse his wound and reflect upon my anger? To put down his gun and look for a rock to throw back? Or more realistically, that he will shot at me and depending upon his state of mind and the persistence of my behavior only be choosing between “warning,” “wound” or “kill” shot?
The missiles and suicide bombers present the same dilemma, but on a national scale. They are acts of war. The initiators of violence are not victims in my book. There are other methods of conflict resolution that are more effective, but we need to be realistic in our expectations.
To me, the people of Gaza are victims of Hamas. They must find a way to choose wiser or continue to pay the price. The people of the US were similarly victims of Bush, hopefully we have finally chosen wiser and will get better results, but we also need to be realistic in our expectations.
Do these titles sound familiar.."the U.S. thinks that they are the police of the world."
"The U.S. is the great satin"
Why demand the U.S. to be the police of the world now when they are called down and despised for being usually an involved and helping nation? Does it make sense to call upon the great satin for help?
The U.S. needs to worry about helping itself at home right now to get back in shape to hep anyone someone else. In helping, good friends usually come first.
I'm not sure how anyone could side with Israel in this matter. The death tolls alone, over a year or so, amounted to Israel losing 17 people, while Palestine lost over 3000. Israel has already gone before the UN, and admitted in an international forum that ISRAEL violated the cease-fire, stopping aid trucks from entering an already-besieged Gaza strip, making them desperate. Of course under such conditions you will see unbridled hate for Israel along with more missiles.
But if you fail to see where it comes from, if you fail to see that policies stemming from Israel and the US, particularly through institutions like the Bilderbergs, Trilateral Commission, and Council on Foreign Relations are effectively slaughtering an entire community while manipulating most major media outlets in the US, Britain, and Israel, then you are either naive, uninformed, or simply lying to yourself.
It seems that Gaza doesn't care, because the rockets are still coming out of Gaza into Israel.
Since 2001, Palestinians in Gaza have fired over 10,000 rockets and mortars into southern Israel. Now Israel is now exercising its basic right of self defense and has launched a military operation designed to end the rocket fire from Gaza. Israel has pinpointed its attacks on Hamas, a terrorist organization that does not recognize Israel’s right to exist and is backed by Iran. Israel has gone to great lengths to minimize civilian casualties and has many times dodged rocks instead of deploying fire arms and hurting someone for being silly. They put up walls to help prevent people from being hurt on either side such as someone or a vehicle being hit by a rock, or someone being shot for throwing the rock.
Strange as it sounds, Iran wishes to dominate the world of Islam and they aren't even Arabs. They are Persians who are not descendents from Ishmael. I hope that would then not make the Arab lesser.
If Israel and Gaza traded places and Israel was launching 10,000 rockets on on Gaza since 2001, I would expect Gaza to do what Israel is doing. Does not 10,000 rockets constitute war and self defense?
The sickening thing about any war is that the civilians are caught in it all. Gaza brought in Hamas. Hamas is sending rockets to Israel. That constitutes war between Gaza and Israel. When Gaza loves it's families and Children more than they hate Israel, there might be peace.
This one is clear to a child.
What most people don't realize is that the likelihood of a lasting peace is slim, because for Israel to occupy the land and Jerusalem in particular makes for the Quran to be in error.
For Islam to occupy the land and Jerusalem in particular makes for the Torah to be in error. Muslims are more aware of this aspect than are many Israeli's
Here in is the true problem that every one dances around without touching, and pretends that the problem is a bunch of other things....Bottom line...Islam wants Israel out of there at any cost.
I don't have the answer, but I do see the full extent of the dilemma. On both sides, this is not just two religions, but two cultures where in each, faith and state are integrated,with the Mosaic Law of Israel, and the Law of Sharria in Islam with Wahabism as the enforcer. The Bible warns that Jerusalem will become a cup of trembling and a burdensome. stone to the rest of the world.
