Mazin Qumsiyeh: Kudos Mr. Abbas‏, and the "But there are still thousands of Palestinian political prisoners".

I am reading between the lines:

Kudos Mr. Abbas‏, thus commented Dr. Mazin Qumsiyeh, on "Salahideen's" "brilliant speech at the United Nations, getting rounds of applause from most of the representatives"  Mazin predicted that Abbas would "now implement quickly the reconciliation agreement...would act quickly and decisively to really promote popular unarmed resistance throughout Palestine." 

"In other words, Hamas and resistance factions should willingly lay arms or othetwise" I commented.

"It is good news that over 1000 Palestinian political prisoners will be released in a prison swap deal." Thus commented Mazin, "But there are still thousands of Palestinian political prisoners....Marwan Barghouthi .....will apparently not be part of this prisoner exchange deal neither will Ahmed Saadat of PFLP nor other key leaders...." Mazin added degrading Hamas "political victory" ignoring that Shalit was taken as a prisoner of war in an Armed (Not unarmed) miltary operation, ignored that Israel with its Mosad, Shin Bet, its "Palestinian" security forces and its OMAR SILIMAN, and its Cast lead operation failed to liberate Shalit.  So Kudos Mr. Abbas‏, not to Hamas.

Abdulla Bagrhouti

Hamas failed to liberate his "Palestinian Mandella", Marwan of Fateh, and Ahmad Saadat of PFLP, but Mazin ignored to say that Abdulla Bagrhouti (66 life sentense, held responsible for the deaths of 66 Israelis. He has been in isolation since 2003) of Hamas, and many others such as, Hassan Salama, Jamal Abu Al-Haija, shall stay with more than 6000 prisoner behind the bars.


"Hopefully, Hamas (which did not get all it wanted but did score a political victory here) and Fatah (which scored a political victory by abandoning the futile US-led bilateral negotiations) could now implement their signed agreements especially on representation in the PNC." Mazen added.

In other words the real concern of Hamas is not the Palestinian prisoners, the rift with Fateh is about representation in the PNC, not about dividing and sharing the land.


Sham on you Mazin
