Israel deliveres arms to Fatah

Today the NZZ had a very good article about the Gaza Strip and about its future. As you should know, Hamas won the election, Fatah lost, mostly due to its corruption and failure to aid the Palestinian cause. Israel boycotted Hamas, delivered and delivers weapons to Fatah, which of course only strengthens the voices, that Fatah is a kind of Kapo, who help Israel steal more land from the Palestinians. I think, as the acts of the Israelis have turned Gaza Strip and the West Bank in a big prison or Ghetto, Fatah should be renamed to something more suitable, showing their submissive attitude towards the Israeli occupiers.

Fatah might win the next elections, at least in the West Bank, possibly also in the Gaza Strip. But I do also think, that we have shown the Palestinian people, that Democracy is something we in the West talk about, but do not respect. The Palestinian people will find out, that Fatah has no interest in the wellbeing of the ordinary people, but only in its own survival.

And the Muslim world, one again, sees our double standard (which they have themselves too) regarding Democracy and recognition (we still talk, trade, etc. with the Jewish State, even though we know, they are one on the largest Human Rights Violators worldwide. Of course, the last point also goes with every other Muslim country, in which I wouldn’t want to live either.)
