From 'Local Independent Decision' To Internationalist Struggle Bush's Visit: ‘Piles of Meat and River of Blood in Gaza’

By Dr. Adel Samara

In Occupied Ramallah

" The year 2006 was the year of resistance's victory, a victory that deserves deeper analysis of its lessons in fields of political, social, and guerilla and people's war.  Most of Lebanon Arabs participated in that war, and not only the brave fighters of Hezbollah. The position of the imperialist agents in that country against the fighters, in the final analysis, gave the victory even a better taste. It was the first challenge of its kind to the Zionist army and the US weapons and politics. The irony is that this victory has been a target of many attacks by defeated camp of Arab comprador regimes that also reduced that victory as they realized that this battle might be the beginning of people's victory.

It is true that this war did not lead to the final defeat of the ‘wild animal’, but it has seriously wounded it and there is no doubt that the ‘wild animal’ will revenge harshly. This settler colonial and capitalist imperialist aggressive base was built for permanent war against Arab Homeland even if the Arabs “donate” to it all Palestine and more. The people's enemies spent the year 2007 preparing for their counter attack to uproot the resistance and to terminate the Palestinian cause.

                Consistent with this approach, I believe that the New Year, 2008 is going to be a dark and dangerous one. Otherwise, why would sixteen Arab rulers attend the Annapolis Conference (November 2007) without a clear agenda or a true commitment? The Zionist regime had never stopped its daily killing of Palestinians even during the sessions of Annapolis and Paris conferences.  Despite that, the PA leader Abbas called the Zionists who occupy Palestine "our neighbors". It is ironic, that the same words were used by the former fascist Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir 'binano we bain shkinano’ (between us and our neighbors).

                But, the participation of Arab ruler in that conference was not just a protocol. It is more dangerous than that of the Madrid Conference (October 1990) which bred the Oslo Accords. It was the Madrid Conference which laid the foundation to the subsequent catastrophic Oslo Accords. Sadly enough, many Palestinians still believe that Dr. Haider Abdulshafi and Arafat had made a contribution and a tangible achievement in these two problematic negotiations, Madrid and Oslo. While in essence both conferences were internally connected and their result was the recognition of the Zionist Ashkenazi Regime (ZAR), i.e. the pure Jewish state which practically means the termination of the Right of Return (ROR) for the Palestinians......"
