Dissolve The PA Today, Not Tomorrow:
Palestinian Authority Is Liability, Not Asset
31 December 2012
By Khalid Amayreh
Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas is
repeating earlier threats to dissolve the Ramallah
regime. In a recent interview with the Haaretz
newspaper, Abbas warned that he would "throw the keys"
of the authority to the Israelis if Israel didn't stop
building settlements and if no progress in the already
moribund peace process was reached by the time a new
Israeli government is formed.
Israel is scheduled to hold general elections on 22
January and right wing parties, both religious and
secular, are forecast to win a landslide victory. This
means that the next Israeli government is likely to be
the most extremist and recalcitrant ever.
"If no progress is achieved after the upcoming Israeli
elections, I will call the Israeli Prime Minister
Binyamin Netanyahu and tell him: 'Sit down in my
place, from now on you will be in charge of the
Palestinian Authority.' "
Abass added that "Netanyahu would then have to choose
between sayings yes or no."
The PA was hoping to transform its diplomatic
achievement at the United Nations last month into
tangible political accomplishments on the ground.
However, thanks to Israeli recalcitrance and arrogance
of power, the Zionist entity adopted further
provocative measures against the Palestinians, pushing
the PA into a corner.
These measures included decisions to build thousands
of settler units in the West Bank, especially East
Jerusalem, and withholding the transfer of tax and
customs revenue levied by Israel on behalf of the PA
in accordance with the hapless Paris economic
protocol.
Consequently, the PA has been hit with the severest
financial crisis ever since its establishment in
1993-94. Some of the harsh manifestations of the
current crisis include the inability of the Ramallah
regime to pay salaries to its estimated 160,000
employees and civil servants, amongst them a 70,000-
member security force whose main function is the
suppression of any active resistance to the Israeli
occupation and Jewish settlers.
The Arab world promised last month to secure a
financial net amounting to $100 million per month to
keep the PA afloat. However, as of today (30 December,
2012), not a penny has been transferred to PA coffers.
In fact, it has been reported that a number of Arab
states decided to renege on pledges made Earlier.
This is certainly very bad news for the PA, to put it
rather mildly.
One Palestinian official accused the United States of
bullying certain Arab capitals to refrain from
extending a life raft to the PA. In other words, the
US wants the PA to grovel at Israel's feet and
surrender to Zionist designs before ordering corrupt
oil sheikhs to throw unto the PA some of the crunch
leftover from their fancy meals.
Well, if true, the Arab wealth is being manipulated to
undermine the Palestinian cause. But never mind, for
this is not the first time these stupid sheikhs and
emirs are bullied to follow directions and
instructions from Washington where the Jewish lobby
has the final say in matters pertaining to the Middle
East, especially the Arab Israeli conflict.
PA is liability, not asset
There is no doubt that the dissolution of the PA would
be good news for most Palestinians. Yes, some people
would lose their jobs and some corrupt robber barons
in Ramallah would suffer mostly temporarily. However,
the overall Palestinian cause would gain.
First of all, the problem of Palestine would revert to
square one, whereby Palestine is viewed as an occupied
country and the Palestinian people is languishing
under a foreign military occupation. Zionist
propagandists and liars wouldn't be able to claim that
99% of Palestinians are under the jurisdiction of the
PA, an obscene mendacity long regurgitated by the
likes of Shimon Peres.
Needless to say, the Palestinians wouldn't just
recline on their sofas and watch television. They
would rather resume their resistance against the last
colonialist rule on earth. The Palestinian struggle,
Which is likely to see the spilling of much new blood,
would expose Israel as it is, a brutal Nazi-like
criminal power indulging in ethnic cleansing against a
native people struggling for freedom and dignity. It
would also force those Arab states that reached peace
treaties with Israel to sever or freeze these treaties
and return to the mode of confrontation with Israel.
Indeed, with Arab peoples visibly empowered,
especially, vis-à-vis the regimes, the regimes would
be forced to meet, though begrudgingly, the
expectations and demands of the masses, or else face
the consequences.
In the final analysis, ordinary citizens in Cairo and
Amman wouldn't be able to remain passive while
watching their brethren in Gaza, Hebron and Jerusalem
being murdered in droves by Zio-Nazi soldiers and
Talmudic-minded Jewish maniacs who are convinced that
the more Arab and Muslim children they murder, the
speedier will be the appearance of the redeemer!!
Second, the dissolution of the PA would represent a
good riddance for many patriotic Palestinians. It
would revive the Palestinian resistance in the West
Bank and Palestinian soldiers tasked with protecting
Israeli settlers against resistance attacks would
train their rifles not against the resistance fighters
but the occupation soldiers and settlers.
This would be the most effective and authentic
solution for the rift between Fatah and Hamas. Fatah
people, who had been made to believe that, Hamas, not
Israel, was impeding liberation and preventing the
establishment of a true Palestinian state with
Jerusalem as its capital, would discover, though
belatedly, that Israel is the head of the snake that
must be crushed.
Third, the dissolution of the PA would also mean that
the Palestinians would free themselves from the
illusion of counting on the U.S. , Israel's
guardian-ally, to pressure Israel and convince its
manifestly criminal leadership to walk in the path of
peace.
Needless to say, the raison Detre of the PA, as far as
Israel is concerned, is to serve Israeli security and
political interests. This is done under the so-called
"security coordination" between the sizeable
Palestinian security force and the Israeli occupation
army. Putting diplomatic jargon aside, this security
coordination is no less than grand treason. How else
can one describe the repression and murder of
Palestinian activists and resistance fighters at the
hands of their countrymen in the service of Israel?
I hope and pray Abbas will make good on his threat. In
the past, he warned ad nauseam that he would dissolve
the PA if Israel didn't stop stealing Palestinian
land. This really made friends and foes alike not take
him seriously.
That is why; Abbas would lose whatever credibility he
still has if he once again failed to act. The
Palestinian people wouldn't forgive him.
