Official Palestine News Agency: Israel worse than Nazis, Arafat could
control situation if wanted to

Tuesday, April 2, 2002

[IMRA: Take a look at even the exaggerated Palestinian casualty figures and
the absurdity of the Nazi comparison (below) is clear. Then failure of
leftist supporters of Arafat to openly denounce such comparisons speaks
volumes about just how vile these supporters themselves are. The WAFA
assertion that Arafat could issue orders and enjoy complete compliance is
the most powerful indictment of Arafat - making him directly responsible for
each and every terror attack regardless of source.]

Quotes:

+"the Jews...the victims of the Nazis have impersonalized their executioner
and exceeded their executioner in practicing racism and war crimes."

+"Arafat...possesses undetected powers to unite the whole Palestinian people
in one line like trained soldiers, but does not say the magic word because
there is no light in the end of the tunnel."]

Gaza April 2nd 2002 Wafa(Official Palestine News Agency), the political
editor,

Why the foreign media is focusing on the Palestinian arena and not on the
Israeli arena?

The answer to this question is simple and easy; it is Sharon's
underestimating the situation. When the entire world, not only the media,
began to realize the size of the Israeli crimes, upon seeing the scenes of
the massacres and other atrocities, and violations committed by the Israeli
occupation soldiers, including tying the Palestinian civilian youngsters'
hands behind their backs, stamping them like livestock, and blindfolding
their eyes, whose only guilt is being young Palestinians, and the
assassinations in the streets of Ramallah, all these scenes call for
international rage including the usually one-sided pro-Israel media,
furthermore many are asking why do we blame the Palestinians? Didn't this
war waged against them exceed all limits of the human endurance?

One day the Jews will judge Sharon, not only for his crimes, but also
because he has subjected them to another wave of international hatred, this
is the first time since WWII when Europe awakens from its feeling of guilt
towards the Jews, because the victims of the Nazis have impersonalized their
executioner and exceeded their executioner in practicing racism and war
crimes.

Sharon's practices have changed the European role from protecting the Jews
into condemning them, aside from piling up European rage that might lead to
taking severe actions against his government, because of Israel's organized
state terror, many countries are joining Europe in taking measures against
it.

Some public rage is growing also in Israel, but their actions are dull and
their free writers are hiding, because Sharon threatens them with the
accusation of breaking the Israeli national consensus, yet they are not
asking themselves, where does Sharon leads them? Especially when he is
waging a criminal unconventional war that could never be conclusive?

After all this is not a war at all, it is merely a wide military operation,
against civilians that possess some rifles at the most and much rocks,
civilians that are determent to struggle at all costs for their freedom,
some aspects of the struggle methods consist of violence, and some of
terror, but only to match and respond to the state organized terror.

When such a war can end and how?

We can imagine few options while we face this criminal attack wave:

First: according to Sharon's publicly declared presumption, finishing the
Intifada within 90 to 100 days, which means that he will practice horrible
massacres frightening the Palestinians forcing them to collectively flee
from the country, thinking that by uprooting trees, destroying houses and
burning pre-harvested crops might increase the odds of massive Palestinians
migration out of Palestine.

This did not happen, no mass Palestinian migration was detected, yet another
wave of migration was detected, it is the Israelis migration that recorded a
new record of fleeing from the country, meaning that what Sharon has
anticipated has boomeranged to his people, this is an indication that this
option is doomed to fail.

Second: This option is a Palestinian one, because they have decided to
struggle and stand up for their rights, they believe that this is their last
resort that should be defended until the last drop of their blood, because
they know it is a matter of life or death, some Palestinians went further on
to suicidal acts against the Israelis, sacrificing their lives for their
believes.

Deep in the Palestinian collective memory lays the first and the second
compulsory expulsion, and the pain, agony, and suffering that goes with it,
memory that have charged them with super powers to stand against any other
attempt of a third one, even demolishing 70 houses in Rafah failed to weaken
them instead it raised their moral and charged them with more determination
to achieve their internationally recognized rights.

This is the option that the Palestinians gambled on: when the holocaust
reaches its climax proving the military option's failure, the political
option will replace it, this option has turned facts upside down
establishing that the military superiority is never decisive, but when the
organized state terror with all its capacities is confronted with a small
hidden power with all its unexpected surprises, equation could be
established and goals could be achieved.

At this point, where after every Palestinian suicidal operation against the
Israelis, calls of George W. Bush the USA President to the Palestinians
President Yasser Arafat to stop the terror become shallow and silly calls
unable to understand the Palestinian transforming that influences the whole
region.

The saying "They want me prisoner or fugitive or dead . but I tell them a
martyr. martyr. martyr" has raised President Arafat, the symbol, very high
to become a Milestone a Light House, not only in his people's eyes but in
the whole world's, from his confinement where the Israeli soldiers are
entering his bedroom with their tanks He has no power except what it takes,
of determination, to defeat those armed invaders and intruders, where his
image reinforces the Palestinians to carry on, where some even offer their
bodies as a sacrifice to the Palestine national goals.

The USA Administration has put President Arafat in a position where he has
nothing, yet he possesses undetected powers to unite the whole Palestinian
people in one line like trained soldiers, but does not say the magic word
because there is no light in the end of the tunnel.

This is what the Americans should understand, but Sharon, will not, because
his future is behind him, while Abu Ammar (Arafat) has won gratitude and all
the decorations, he is no prisoner no fugitive and no dead he is the alive
inspiring his beloved people, or a martyr.

This Palestinian option is the most probable to materialize because it is
based on the right of two nations to live in peace, security and
independence side by side each in its borders, as equal partners, over this
Holy Land, nothing less.

And Sharon shouldn't bather anymore because he will only harvest more
failures, gaining only a growing public opinion against him, in Europe, in
international communities and eventually in the USA.
