Abbas admits failure of the peace process


By Khalid Amayreh in Ramallah

"....But Abbas can still embark on some daring steps to salvage things before it is too late.

At the top of these steps should be the orderly dismantling of the Palestinian Authority under whose rubric the national Palestinian cause is being liquidated.


[COMMENT:

Dream on Khalid; this will never happen. A whole class of collaborators and "businessmen" have become rich due to the existence of the PA. Do you think that they would voluntarily give up all the wealth and privilege? When did such a thing happen in history? Do you expect the drug lord Karzai in Afghanistan to resign voluntarily?

Do you expect the Mafia to voluntarily dissolve itself ??

Let us mature as a people and stop making such simplistic and naive requests. After 90 years of struggle, you would think that the Palestinians can do better than this.

The PA will only be dismantled by Palestinians opposed to it (and that does not include Hamas). So, those truly opposed to the PA and the disaster of Oslo should start organizing to topple the PA by all means possible.]

Failure to do so, under whatever pretexts and excuses, would only mean legitimizing the colonial Israeli scheme and capitulating to the status quo.

Let us get rid of the big lie and confront ourselves with the all too-clear fact that the colonialist Zionist occupation of our country never really receded and that the Oslo Agreement was a deception from A to Z. We must tell our people that the PA is not a phase toward liberation from Zionist tyranny, as we have been told, but is rather an instrument for the liquidation of the Palestinian cause.

Is Abbas willing to face reality? Or does he need another15 years of deception and lies to realize what every Palestinian child knows thoroughly well."
