While, literally across the street, the Israelis have free debate in newspapers, quarrelsome programs on television and protests, the Palestinians continue to find themselves arrested, silenced and terrorized.
As has now become clear for all to see, Israel has become the only hope for the hungry workers in the Gaza Strip -- who have been abandoned not only by their leaders, but by the rest of their Arab brothers as well.
Those who continue to talk about a 'two-state solution' are not only deluding themselves, but also endangering the security of the Middle East by seeking to establish yet another terrorist state.
The meeting is 'a signal to Hamas that Israel might weigh up a future option, under which it could go back to the idea of seeing PA elements return to Gaza, with international backing,' said Maj. Gen. (res.) Eitan Dangot.
Blinken needs to go out and talk to ordinary Palestinians. There, he will get a good grasp of the profound anti-Israel sentiments and deep support for Iran's proxies and others who wish to wipe Israel off the map.
With polls showing a lack of faith by Palestinians in their leaders, PA leader Mahmoud Abbas is expected to use Jerusalem as the excuse to cancel the long-awaited elections.
There is one reasononly, why Abbas is talking about holding general elections: to continue mlking the cash cow he has in the form of US and European governments.
Why should they hate the Palestinian Arabs? After all, the Arab narrative says the Palestinian Arabs’ land was stolen and they were forced to become refugees.
The Hamas-Houthi alliance shows that Iran is seeking to expand its terrorist activities in the Gaza Strip, Yemen and Lebanon against Arab and Islamic states as well.
The Palestinian leadership's ongoing efforts to muzzle its critics not only deprives Palestinians of their salaries and pensions, it also involves intimidation and arrests.
The PA has done virtually nothing to help the Gaza Strip confront the coronavirus pandemic. Ironically, the only country that has been helping Gaza is Israel.
Hamas can now claim another 'achievement' in their jihad against Israel by transforming a clear-headed and courageous young man into a blind and disabled one.
While the PA and Hamas are beating up each other's supporters, "pro-Palestinian" activists on US and Canadian campuses are blaming Israel for Palestinian woes.
So far, Israel’s objectives in armed conflicts with Hamas have been limited to avoid the reoccupying Gaza or to send it down the “Somalia model” path of chaos.
It has been another tragic year for Palestinians living in Syria, but pro-Palestinian advocacy groups and mainstream media seem to have missed the misery.
