The symbiotic relationship between Netanyahu and Hamas

(October 22, 2023)

With Hamas in power in Gaza, coupled with a deliberately emaciated PA in the West Bank, Netanyahu could claim there was no Palestinian partner for negotiation, and he could continue to crisscross the West Bank with settlements.

In the aftermath of the bloody Black Shabbat, as it is now called in Israel, and an extensive aerial bombing campaign, Israel is poised “go after Hamas leadership” — whatever that means — in a costly ground offensive.

The key question is what happens the “day after” — something Netanyahu has never been adept at answering. His concept appears to be apres moi, le deluge — after me, chaos.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to meet President Trump Monday

The deal resembles a similar one proposed by Israel and the U.S. earlier this year. Israel and Hamas had agreed on a ceasefire that took effect just as Trump came into office in January, and lasted until Israel renewed attacks in Gaza in March, and stopped all aid from entering the besieged coastal enclave. Food deliveries only resumed in late May under tight Israeli control in a system that the U.N. — which used to run aid deliveries — has called „death traps“ for Palestinians trying to access the handout sites.

Zur Verfassung von Palästina

(January 14, 2015)

Palästina kann seine Situation in Frieden und Unabhängigkeit nur verbessern, solange es zusammenhält und nicht den Fehler Indiens nach der Befreiung von der Gewaltherrschaft des Britischen Empire begeht. Heute stehen sich zwei Atommächte mehr oder weniger feindlich gegenüber, Indien und Pakistan, sowie das letztlich von Pakistan abgefallene Bangladesch.

Nicht ein multikulturelles, ein multiethnisches, ein multireligiöses Palästina, sondern ein interkulturelles, ein interethnisches, ein interreligiöses Palästina wird Bestand haben, welches Unterschiede nicht versucht wegzuassimilieren, zu ignorieren oder zu unterdrücken, sondern die eigenen Unterschiede stehen lässt, die eigene Vielfalt akzeptiert und einen Weg findet seine inneren Differenzen ohne Blutvergießen und nach allgemein akzeptierten Rechten und Regeln auszufechten, ohne das Recht des Stärkeren einreißen zu lassen.

Die Sympathie der Welt wird Palästina dabei sicher sein.
