Hamas didn't fail

Khalid Amayereh can't swallow Abbas's standards of success and failure.
"Hamas.....never pretended to be a super power that would liberate occupied Palestine from the Mediterranean Sea to the River Jordan." Said Khalid, "Indeed, those Palestinians who elected Hamas in 2006 did so not because they thought that Hamas would soon deliver Safad and Jaffa from the clutches of evil Zionism." he claimed, "They did so because they thought, rather correctly, that Hamas was a clean, honest and corruption-free movement, unlike the notoriously corrupt Palestinian Authority whose very name is synonymous with corruption, graft, nepotism, cronyism, misappropriation of wealth, embezzlement of public money and other forms of corruption and misgovernment." he added.

I, also can't swallow Khalid's above statements, because, though many Palestinians elected Hamas because they "Hamas was a clean, honest and corruption-free movement, unlike the notoriously corrupt Palestinian Authority", the majority of the Palestinians in Gaza and WB did so because they thought, rather correctly, that Hamas, with Resistance Axis, would on the long run deliver a free Palestine from river to sea.

I don't think "brother" Khalid can swallow his own claim, unless he really that the "real world war was declared" on Hamas because "Hamas was a clean, honest and corruption-free movement, unlike the notoriously corrupt Palestinian Authority",

I don't think Khalid Amayereh lost his memory and forget that Hamas emerged as a resistance movement many years before Oslo and the birth of the PA. I claim the death of Arafat followed by dropping the resistance option, and the total surrender of the PA forced Hamas to challange Fateh, to prevent selling out Palestine, Jerusalem and the right of return.

I am sure he know that the Global War launched on Hamas, the "clean, honest and corruption-free movement", The global war was launched on Hamas, the resistance movemet (based in Damuscus) allied with Hezbollah, the Lebanese Shea resistance movement, supported by Secular Syria and Shea's Iran, unless he forget. To be more pricise the Global war was launched on resistance Axis, after the fall of Baghdad. Sharm el Sheikh Summit could be considered as the official end of the second Intifada.

Brother Khalid, after the so-called Arab-Spring, lost the direction. He invented the Mass Axis (Muslim masses), tolerated the collaboration (calling it "de facto alliance") , decided that Syria should change (forget Arabism and Pledge allegiance to the Neo-Ottoman Sultan  and his Syrian" brothers") or get changed by Brother Barak Hussain Obame.

Hamas didn't fail

By Khalid Amayreh

In a recent interview with a Kuwaiti newspaper, Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas claimed that Hamas failed in its "experiment of governance."

Well, it is really hard to swallow Abbas's remarks. His standards of success and failure must be totally unrealistic and irrational.

We know that in life, achievements, whether by individuals or nations, are measured in proportion to the availability of means, circumstances, challenges as well as the nature of goals pursued.

Hamas, a resistance movement fighting the octopus of international Zionism which controls big governments, including the government of the United States, the world's only remaining though declining superpower and Israel's guardian-ally, never pretended to be a super power that would liberate occupied Palestine from the Mediterranean Sea to the River Jordan.
Indeed, those Palestinians who elected Hamas in 2006 did so not because they thought that Hamas would soon deliver Safad and Jaffa from the clutches of evil Zionism.
They did so because they thought, rather correctly, that Hamas was a clean, honest and corruption-free movement, unlike the notoriously corrupt Palestinian Authority whose very name is synonymous with corruption, graft, nepotism, cronyism, misappropriation of wealth, embezzlement of public money and other forms of corruption and misgovernment.

And from the very moment Hamas was elected, a real world war was declared on the small movement, including a hermetic global financial war, a harsh travel ban, and tight sea blockade on Gaza as well as the closure of all Islamic charities throughout the West Bank.

This is added the Nazi-like witch-hunting campaign targeting every elected or unelected Islamist official in the occupied territories, including virtually all Islamist MPs, most of whom were totally innocent people.

Indeed, five years after the elections, some of these MPs are still languishing in Jewish dungeons and bastilles on no other ground than to satiate the sadistic Zionist desire to see Palestinians suffer and wallow in pain.

But Israel was not the only villain in this orgy of oppression. Abbas's Palestinian Authority itself, which viewed security coordination with Israel as constituting political success, actively conspired and connived with Israel, secretly and publicly, in order to decapitate Hamas once and for all. The facts in this regard are too ignominious to recall.

Similarly, American puppet governments in the region did everything Israel asked for in order to throttle Hamas and its supporters. The ultimate goal was to force the Islamist movement to surrender and submit to Jewish Nazism.

And when Hamas proved too tenacious and virtually undefeatable, mainly because you can't defeat an idea by bullets and conspiracies, Israel launched an all-out war on the thoroughly blockaded and thoroughly starved Gaza Strip for the purpose of eradicating Hamas from the face of earth. The all-out onslaught resembled to a large degree the allies' bombing of Dresden during WWII.

This is while some PA people were looking on rather gleefully awaiting a declaration of surrender from Ismael Haniyya or Khalid Meshaal. Some PA operatives reportedly distributed sweets to celebrate the Israeli genocide in Gaza.
But Hamas was not a movement that would surrender, irrespective of the challenges, even if the Jews transformed the small coastal enclave of Gaza into a modern-day Auschwitz or Ghetto Warsaw, which they effectively did.

Under such circumstances, Hamas was not expected to be able to liberate Jerusalem from Zionist thugs, nor reinstitute an Islamic caliphate in the half-liberated parts of Palestine.

The mere survival was the maximum Hamas was expected to achieve, and it did achieve that, heroically, gloriously and with utmost dignity.
I don't understand what Abbas means by success? For example, does one have to become a traitor to his people and national cause in order to succeed? Don't we Arabs assert on every occasion the timeless saying "a noble woman starves rather than commits adultery?"
In truth, the PA did commit national adultery by collaborating with Israel against its own people, all under the rubric of "meeting our commitments toward the peace process."
To be sure, Hamas is not a perfect movement as it consists of normal people who can err like all other men. However, I don't think that one exaggerates much by saying that had the challenges, the conspiracies, the evil designs and murderous plots and exploits been directed against well-established states, let alone an organization like Abbas's PA, such entities would have capitulated to Zio-Nazism from the very beginning.

Moreover, a fleeting comparison between the PA and Hamas illustrates the pathetic, lamentable status of the former.

Hamas survives due to its resistance and steadfastness, while the PA exists thanks to its submissive collaboration with the Israeli occupation regime, very much like the Jewish Judenrates under the Nazis.
Hamas exists despite and in spite of Israel, while the PA exists thanks to an agreement with Israel. Hamas, to a large extent, is free from Israeli dictates, while every act or measure or movement by the PA is subject to Israeli permission.
Hamas has been able to impose security and the rule of law throughout Gaza, while the Israeli occupation army raids and plunders every nook and cranny in the West Bank, while some 60,000 PA soldiers are looking on passively as if they were watching a movie about the wide wild American West.

In Gaza, fire is met with fire whereas in the West Bank herds of Jewish settlers routinely attack Palestinians and vandalize their property, including burning their fields and olive groves, without the PA security forces even contemplating repulsing the racist terrorists, lest they be punished by their treacherous superiors.
So, who is really betraying the Palestinian people and their enduring just cause? And who is really impeding and preventing the liquidation of the Palestinian cause by Israel and her ultimate powerful whore, the United States government, in coordination of a Palestinian Authority that is easy to manipulate, easy to bully and easy to manipulate.
Maybe Mahmoud Abbas and some of the hypocrites and hangers-on around him think that having audience with Hillary Clinton or her boss, the powerless Barack Obama, is the ultimate criterion of success. But this would be tantamount to a total capitulation to Zio-Nazism, including giving up on al Masjidul Aqsa and the paramount right of return for millions of Palestinian refugees, uprooted from their ancestral homeland at the hands of terrorist gangs of violent East European Jewish invaders.

Nay, Mr. Abbass, the Palestinian people will not commit adultery with their inalienable, legitimate rights in order to find acceptance in America or Europe, or, indeed, in order to "succeed."

May the hand that forgets Palestine be cut off and thrown away for stray dogs.
