Last week
at the United Nations sponsored NGO Network for a Palestinian-Israeli Peace,
the key word was definitely “unity.” That call for unity is coming from the very
core of Palestinian society and its national institutions, as an answer to the
US-Israeli attempts to provoke splits and divisions. Keeping unity is not only
a demand to be addressed to the national leadership and the various political
parties, but also a call to preserve the political platform around which a
broad Palestinian consensus has been defined throughout the years.

With the
events that have been taking place in the Gaza Strip and the depths to which
they reached, the Palestinian tragedy has moved to the level of farce.
True, some may laugh at our
situation now—the Palestinians have two states:
Gazastan or Hamasistan and
Westbankstan or Fatahstan. Some are now talking about a solution of two states
for one people or three states for two people!
These people have every right to poke fun at our tragedy-turned-farce, with bloodshed on the streets of Gaza following infighting between brothers turned foes. Still, despite the bloody outcome, the resulting violent tear in the Palestinian political fabric and the ramifications these have on the social and moral levels, there are still major questions that require answers.

From November 2006, Palestinian society has been pushed to
the brink of civil war by immense pressures of the international community and Israel. These
pressures, both economic and political, succeeded in dividing Palestinian society,
generating bloody civil confrontations and now creating two governments but no
state.

Forty years ago, I was 14 years old.
I was an eyewitness to the war, the defeat and the continuing tragedy of the
Palestinian people that has lasted until this day. I was witness to how the
dreams of the Palestinians came crashing down after they placed their bets on
the Arab regimes to regain their land, their homeland and their rights. Hence,
the Palestinians faced a new Nakba [catastrophe] of no less magnitude than
their first. To the millions of refugees from the first Nakba, hundreds of
thousands of additional displaced were added. My memory is forever etched with
the scene of flocks of refugees heading east into nothing save an unknown
destiny and future.

Every colonial power takes for
granted, consciously or not, that what cannot be achieved with a limited level
of force can be achieved with more force. However, this presumption expands the
cycle of violence and attracts new forces to the conflict, including some that
were not part of the conflict. This expansion of the conflict between the
colonial powers and the resistance, pushes the already existing contradictions
to a new level of violence. In the end, the situation always reverts to square
one.
Enlarging oppression and injustice
does not make peace; it only opens the gates to an
endless war.
