The Limitless Tyranny
Official Fatah Release
http://www.fateh.net/e_editor/01/150901.htm
The human feelings we felt towards the catastrophe that
befell US citizens
were clearly stronger than those we may have against the
US as a result of its biased policies. This attitude does
not include hypocritical statements made by those who feared
the 'wounded lion', 'master of the jungle'. We,the Palestinian
people, managed to balance our feelings towards the
catastrophe whose perpetrators are unknown but whose reasons
are clear,with those feelings we have towards the US that
fully supports Israel's aggression against us.
Sharon's attempt to abuse the ensuing situation for his own
wicked and embarrassing ends, failed when the US recognized
its need to form a strong alliance that includes many of the
countries that Sharon would accuse of being terrorist.
Not only did the attack against the US lead to the death of
thousands of people, but it also undermined the political
power of a super power whose symbols of economic and military
strength, the Pentagon and the World Trade Center, were
destroyed.
The massive operation showed the failure of the US to
protect itself when those it oppressed reacted to the
policies of hegemony and discrimination it has been practicing
throughout the world. Technology and all methods of combating
terrorism failed to help the US avoid the inevitable explosion.
Some of the sensible people in the US realized the need to
reflect on what caused the tragedy. Mr. Norman Finklestein of
the University of De Paul talked of the misery and intimidation
the US government has sown in many countries such as Lebanon
(1982), Iraq (1991) and recently in Serbia. In his view, the US
is now reaping what it has sown, especially the mass killings
it committed for no reason.
Finklestein added that the US as the only super power felt that
it would pay no price for all the acts of arrogance acts it
has committed. The list includes among other things its
withdrawal from Durban conference,withdrawal from the Kyoto
agreement, and its attempt to nullify the anti-Ballistic
Missiles Pact. According to Finklestein, the US should reconsider
its position since no party is immune to retribution.
The US Administration turned a deaf ear to this type of thinking
and acted arrogantly when the Council of Foreign Relations
convened in an emergency session. The meeting drew a comparison
between what happened in Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, and
the tragedy of September 2001, as an indication of their
intention to go to war. The excessive use of power replaced the
security failure. Forty billion dollars were devoted to the
coming war and thousands of reservists were called up. And the
idea of an international alliance against terrorism started
to take shape. The alliance is supposed to include the NATO
countries in addition to some moderate ones in Asia and the
Middle East.
The US adopted a new policy according to which countries that
do not support the US are against it. The undersecretary of
the Defense Department, Paul Wolfowitz, insisted that the US
would wage a lasting and broad campaign against terror. As a
member of the Zionist lobby, he is of the opinion that the US
should attack Syria, Iran and the Palestinian people - the
enemies of Israel and the US. Collin Powel, however, prefers a
surgical military operation.
Amid this international idiocy that is being directed against an
unspecified enemy, Israel continues its occupation as the
clearest form of terrorism. Ethnic cleansing, confiscation of
land, killing people, imposing closure and assassinating
activists and political leaders are examples of the policies
Israel adopted during the last year. The US Administration
that provided the necessary diplomatic protection especially
at the UN Security Council supported these acts.
In its attempt to forge the new alliance, the US wants to keep
Sharon's violence to a minimum to make it less embarrassing
for that alliance.
However, Arab and Muslim countries should know how to use the
current developments for their own advantage. To do so, they
need to work out a definition that does not serve the
interests of the US Administration and the Zionist lobby.
Both seek to put an end to the Intifada and impose Israel's
hegemony on our area.
The Palestinian people warn against the Zionist plot that
aims to liquidate the Intifada as a legitimate form of
resistance against the Israeli occupation and the construction
of settlements. The continuation of the Intifada does not
contradict the principle of going back to the negotiating
table. Negotiations should be based on clear terms of reference
including basically the UN resolutions relevant to the
Palestinian issue. Sponsorship should not be confined to
the US; the UN and the Security Council should play an effective
role. The Intifada and the support of the Arab and Muslim
nation should continue to accompany any future negotiations.
Arabs and Muslims have only two options: either to have the
power of unity and the justice of their cause to maintain
their dignity and protect their civilization, or to have the
weakness of disunity and therefore cause their civilization
to collapse.
Therefore, any country that approaches the US without
coordinating its position with the rest of the Arab and
Muslim world will weaken our stance for the sake of its own
interests. A unified Arab and Muslim position on what
constitutes world terrorism will make the US realize that
it cannot mobilize all countries against ghosts or individuals
it cannot indict. The US should not be allowed to ignore the
assassinations and daily killings in Palestine being carried
out by a real murderer, Sharon, who is still at large.
Imposing our priorities on the new alliance will help protect
the Palestinian people who are being targeted by the US and
the Zionist entity.
Both parties should understand that calling for quiet and
stability cannot veil their true intentions. Such a tactic
may become a strategy unless the US and Israel are pressured
into acting upon international resolutions pertaining to the
Palestinian issue.
The Intifada as a legitimate form of resistance should make
clear the distinction between two things: the right of any
people to fight against occupation, on the one hand, and
atrocities against civilians as what happened in the US on
September 11, 2001, on the other hand.
Similar atrocities were committed in Palestine during the
last fifty years.
The following locations bear evidence of the atrocities
that were carried out by Sharon: Qibya, Nahalin, and Qalqilya
in the 1950's; al-Samou' in the 1960's; Gaza in the 1970's;
and Sabra and Shatila in the 1980's. Sharon never let a decade
go by without committing an atrocity. But the master of
terror in the third millennium is still at large in the
company of Liberman and Ze'evi who call for the transfer of
Arabs to build the 'Greater Israel'.
Arab and Muslim countries should not allow themselves to be
blackmailed by the US Administration that categorizes countries
that stand against its biased policies as terrorist ones.
The new definition of terrorism should explicitly force Israel
as a strong ally of the US to acknowledge its responsibility
for the injustices it has inflicted on the Palestinian people.
Otherwise, the tyranny based on the US definition of terrorism
will grow limitless.
Until Sharon's terror fades away and justice prevails, and
until our goals are achieved, the Palestinian people will
continue to solidify their internal unity.
Revolution until victory.>>
