Democracy Hypocrisy, Part 17

U.S. The Big Loser In The Mecca Deal?

"Palestinians may still be celebrating the Mecca accord reached between rival factions of Hamas and Fatah to form a national unity government, but there is no such sentiment coming out of Washington. "Peace is not at hand," a senior U.S. official said today. But while the Bush Administration may view the deal as a setback for the prospects of Middle East peace, many observers think it is really a setback for U.S. influence in the region — especially its goal of isolating Hamas."

Yes, the Palestinians are celebrating the formation of a national unity government in their occupied country. They are hopeful that this will bring an end to the in-fighting that has been going on. But, the plan of bush and the Israeli government is to continue the “Let’s You and Him Fight” plan, and have the Palestinian people kill one another off as much as possible. So, a cessation of fighting will not be productive in bush’s eyes and the Israeli government’s eyes.

Hamas was the popularly elected government of Palestine. So far, the bush administration has denounced them for this free election result (and they were totally not expecting it), has cut of the limited supply of aid that they formally gave the Palestinians, has given aid to Fatah branch of the government (which is the minority part of that government) and has shipped truck loads of weapons to Fatah – that was intercepted and kept by the Hamas agents. I guess we can say that the “Let’s You and Him Fight” plan will still work, since the weapons got through, but they are going to strengthen the supposed wrong side of the fight.

And the government of Israel has cut off the money that they hold – WHICH IS THE PALESTINIAN’S MONEY IN THE FIRST PLACE – and refused to give it to them. The Israelis, as an occupation force, collects tax funds and re-distributes these funds. Except, once Hamas was elected, they somehow feel entitled to keep the money and punish the Palestinians.

WE MUST END THE OCCUPATION OF IRAQ AND PALESTINE.

(Cartoon above has signs on the countries of Venezuela, Palestine and Iran. The US government is also messing around with Somalia, Lebanon, and of course, Iraq. They are probably interfering in a few more countries but the evidence has not come out yet. And the "interference" can range from bombing runs to supplying arms to fighting groups to just doing an economic hit job on the country in question. Whatever it is, you can be sure innocent people will suffer and this shits will think that is a-okay, because the "ends justify the means." Their hypocrisy knows no bounds, which why I am up to Part 17 in this series.)
