PALESTINE! O PALESTINE!
"ELECTIONS" UNDER OCCUPATION ARE A FARCE
New Trend contacted Badi Ali, our expert on Palestine and well known peace activist in North Carolina, and questioned him about the elections held on January 9, 2005. Here are the points he made which can help our readers understand what has happened.
Abbas [Abu Mazen] who has been declared elected to replace Arafat is backed by both the U.S. and Israel.
Close friends of Abbas are King Abdullah, Hosni Mubarak of Egypt and Sharon.
Abbas has accumulated huge wealth while the Palestinian people underwent dire suffering. He can best be described as "filthy rich."
Included in his wealth are houses worth $30 million, one each in Gaza, Morocco, Amman and Damascus. He has investments in Sky Com and First Option. Even Saudi Prince Bandar is impressed by his wealth and jokingly calls him the "Palestinian Shaikh,"
Ideologically Abbas is bankrupt. He believes that the Intifada was useless and hurt the Palestinian people.
He was seen as a demoralizing element even by Yasir Arafat who caused him to resign.
The ELECTIONS of JANUARY 9 are a JOKE on the Palestinian people. They were held after the leadership of the Palestinians was wiped out by the Israelis. Yasir Arafat was poisoned. Shaikh Yasin and Rantissi were assassinated by the Israeli air force.
The elections were boycotted by the Islamic groups and the majority of Palestinians did not vote.
Anyone with political understanding knows that elections held under military occupation lack legitimacy and are tantamount to rubbing salt into the wounds of the Palestinian people.
Palestinians have no rights. They cannot go to work. In many cases they have no electricity. Every day the Israelis come and murder whom they will under the label of "terrorists." In that context, elections are a cruel fraud being imposed on the Palestinian people.
Abbas represents the new wave of American agents, like Karzai in Kabul, Allawi in Baghdad, Musharraf in Islamabad, who are quite willing to stoke the fires of civil war to advance the U.S.-Israeli agenda.
Abbas is the kind of person who will be willing to start civil war among Palestinians which Arafat had so carefully avoided.
An attempt will be made to destroy the culture of resistance and the way of life of the Palestinian people to make them available for "re-shaping" by their enemies.
