TEL AVIV, December 16, 2008 (WAFA)- Israeli Daily Yedioth Ahronoth said on its first page, Tuesday, that, “Israeli officials who endorsed Hamas’ creation should be held accountable.”
In an article written by Anat Saragosti, and published, Tuesday on the first page of Israeli Daily Yedioth Ahronoth, that Hamas’ rally in Gaza on Sunday December 14th, was the fault of the 1987 Israeli government and Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir and the fault of former Israeli Intelligence, Shin Bet, Director Yaakov Peri, as well as other anonymous figures who came up with the conception that, “we need to split the Palestinian nation, and in order to do that, Israel will secretly support and turn a blind eye to a new movement, an arm of the Islamic Brotherhood: Hamas.”
Israel did turn a blind eye to money transferred to the Gaza Strip; it turned a blind eye as Hamas was being established 21 years ago because what it called “the powerful Israel” was unable to cope with the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) and was unable to stand up to the Fatah movement or the first Palestinian Intifada in 1987, so Israel renewed, a conception that has never proved itself although it has existed for years, “we shall support Palestinian opposition organizations, thereby splitting the nation and weakening the strong parties.”
For this reason, the Hamas rally Sunday is, according to Yedioth Ahronoth is the responsibility of Israeli leaders, because they thought that if they eliminated Fatah leaders in
The Hamas rally, the Paper said, was also the fault of Benjamin Netanyahu, who chose not to adhere to the agreements with the Palestinians, opting to open the Wailing Wall of Jerusalem Tunnel and dragging Israelis into a big fire.
The article added that, “Ehud Barak, who was also elected as Israel’s prime minister, in a megalomaniacally thought that he would be able to end a 100-year national conflict within a few days, so he invented the conception that there is nobody to talk to, is also responsible for the rally.”
The Daily said that Ehud Olmert and Tzipi Livni, who were given the mandate to do everything in order to advance the process vis-à-vis the Palestinians, were “preoccupied with their own affairs, and money, and the perks of power, and did nothing to advance nothing.” Therefore, they too are at fault, the newspaper said, as well as Barak in his role as Israeli Army minister; upon taking up the post he did not waste a moment in pulverizing the Palestinians, showing them who’s the boss, threatening them, and making it hard for them; and all of it was done without any plan or vision.
The Paper stated that, “none of these people is paying a price or is required to provide explanations. And only the two peoples; Palestinian and Israeli, are paying a heavy price.” By now, the Paper pondered, perhaps there is indeed nobody to talk to because “the hatred is so great, the anger is so deep, the suffering is so vast, and the despair is so dark that there is nobody to talk to”.
Finally, Yedioth Ahronoth demanded, “let’s see all those wise people, who formulated the various conceptions, and still think that if only they eliminate all of Hamas’ leaders the entire Strip will join the Zionist movement. Let’s have them explain to us why they did what they did, and how come, despite the conception, things turned out the opposite of what they had hoped for. Yet they are not explaining. They merely want to gain our trust again. Yet we must not grant them this trust, because this rally is their fault.”
