Ramallah,
October 18, 2000 The brave Palestinian people
need a brave leadership,
Unfortunately, what was right all along, is
right again, the Palestinians have no leadership
to really represent their interests. They also
have no partner for peace for Israel is not ready
yet for a peace settlement.
As expected, the participants at Sharm al-Sheikh
summit, especially our own leadership, missed the
point again. In fact, there has been no agreement
on any of the major issues, they simply avoided
the real issues and concentrated on reliving the
burden of the intifada from their shoulders and
go back to their usual affairs with a relatively
clear conscience. How can they? How would it help
to go back to the pre Sept. 28th. 2000 situation.
Isn't that what the Palestinian people revolted
against in the first place.
The Israeli army and settlers continued their
attacks against the Palestinians before and after
Sharm al-Sheikh. Yesterday a Palestinian farmer
was killed while picking up his Olive trees. And
a few minutes ago, a Palestinian was killed in
Nablus. Demonstrations against Sharm
| al-Shaikh broke up in
all major Palestinian cities, including
Ramallah, after the summit commenced. And
as usual they ended with clashes with the
Israeli army at the same clashing points.
The Intifada will continue, because its
causes were never treated at all. |
