Alan Hart – Israel's right or not to exist – The facts and truth


On Monday 12 October, Prime Minister Netanyahu opened the Knesset's winter session by blasting the Goldstone Report that accuses Israel of committing war crimes and vowing that he would never allow Israelis be tried for them. But that was not his main message. It was an appeal, delivered I thought with a measure of desperation, to the "Palestinian leadership", presumably the leadership of "President" Abbas and his Fatah cronies, leaders who are regarded by very many if not most Palestinians as American-and-Israeli stooges at best and traitors at worst.

  1. TGIA, why did Palestinians in the August, 2009, poll support Fatah against Hamas by 44% to 28%? Has Fatah popularity fallen since August? Why are so many Palestinians supporting what many of them regard as "American-and-Israeli stooges at best and traitors at worst?"

    I don't know this for sure, but could Fayyad believe that the Hong Kong method of working on economic development and then using economic power to struggle for freedom the best way to resist occupaton?
