Road to civil war
The Middle East Road Map
May 27, 2003
The Iranian
Hallelujah! Praise the Almighty and merciful Lord,
Maker and King of the universe, to whom all honor, glory, praise,
and worship are due; that the Quartet (read U.S) finally has decided
to publish the performance-based road map to a permanent two-state
solution for the Palestinian war of independence.
For the past year the Palestinians have been wrapping
most of their war-dead not in their traditional national flag, but
in a green motif embedded with Arabic calligraphy proclaiming that
"There is no God but God, and Mohammad is the messenger of
God". It appears the Palestinians no longer view their own
suffering as a national struggle for self-determination rather a
wider context of a religious war.
To tap this rapid radicalization and the swift ascendance
of Hamas as the sole representative of the popular Palestinian aspirations,
here comes the Road Map. A post-quel to the miserable Oslo, Mitchell
and Tenant Trilogy in which Darth Vader (a.k.a Ariel Sharon) is
preordained to win, while the shrewd Jabba the Hutt (a.k.a Arafat)
is to run the Gaza strip and a few plots in the West Bank.
This production, unlike the original George Lucas's
trilogy has no Knight in Shining Armor, indeed, no Luke Skywalker.
Yet this chunky plot provides plenty of victims, the Palestinian
and Israeli civilians whom are condemned to hate each other for
the missteps and ambitions of few reckless individuals and lobbyists.
The plan is simple ladies and gentlemen, mark this
URL since you heard it here first: The Palestinians are asked to
start a civil war. In Paragraph two of Phase 1 of the Road Map it
is stated that the Palestinian Authority should "Confront all
those engaged in terror and dismantle their capabilities and infrastructure."
To balance this, the Israeli’s are asked merely to "stop
attacks on civilians, and end settlement activities".
Since the Israeli occupation army never attacks civilians
anyway (wink wink) and the settlements are only the wish of the
Lord All Mighty, they have already met their side of the bargain.
So brace yourselves for some fireworks in Gaza and the West Bank.
If Arafat and his buddies decide to go ahead with this mislabeled
Road Map, which I have a feeling, unlike Camp David, this time around
they will. Yes, there will be Palestinian civil war.
In return Sharon will agree to a quasi-Bantustan style
Palestinian state. Fragmented by Israeli settlements, deprived of
their own groundwater or airspace, and fenced-in by the Israeli
army. Precisely what the Camp David negotiations were all about.
Arafat will then lose all credibility among his people
and will rule with a corrupt iron fist. Abu Mazen will be the cover
boy for White House meetings and other Photo Ops. Fifty or so years
after the creation of the Iraq by the British; another pitiful Arab
nation ruled by a sparkling dictator is to be born with the assistance
and generosity of the West. Raise your hand if you're experiencing
a sudden bout of déjà vu.
