Palestine Unity Government

When the unity deal was signed in Mecca between Hamas and Fatah, I was happy. But, I was still doubtful. No, I didn't doubt the sincerity of Khaleed, Mahmood, or Ismail. I was in particular very doubtful with Fatah's ability to streamline their ranks to come up with an agreed platform for the new unity government.

Unlike Hamas which is very well organized and discipline, Fatah is merely like an affiliation made-up of various clans which place the interest of their own clans above national interest.

Fatah's various units of arm forces are clan-affiliated, decentralized, and tough to control.With security issues become the sticking point in the unity deal, the ability to streamline this arm forces is crucial.

Today the cabinet of the Unity Government is finally formed and announced. I am more than happy. The fact that Israel refuses to recognize this government is not significant. If all Palestinians could unite and work together, they would achieve their goal, regardless of the obstacles facing them.

Palestinians' courage and endurance in resisting brutal occupation win our sympathy and admiration.

Go...Go..Palestine. World without zionism is surely a better world.
