Afrasianet - Ibrahim Abrach - The worst thing that affects a nation at the level of political awareness is that the awareness of its intellectuals and politicians is diminished and the secondary and the temporary dominate the main, and they miss the strategic vision of things or deliberately absent them to serve special purposes and to shake the feelings of ordinary people. This is the case of the Palestinian political class in dealing with major national issues, Where partisan alignment to achieve party interests and personal priority on the national front to face the external threat.
History and political sociology, as well as reason and logic, have created what can be considered a political and social law. When a society is exposed to an external threat to its existence, all elements of society unite and stand up to face danger. Parties forget their internal differences or postpone them until the external threat has passed. The existential threat does not threaten a class without a party or party without the rest of the parties, but threatens everyone.
This is the case of the Palestinian people, which is at risk of its existence. The Zionist occupation is the beginning and then the deal of the century and the division that becomes the separation between Gaza and the West Bank while the political parties are issued in Ghaia director of the supreme national interest.
The problem does not lie in the people themselves, but in the elites or the political class that now commands the people, whether in the West Bank or Gaza, and we will not go back to history. We will limit ourselves to what has been going on in the last few years of dealing with the political class in Gaza or the West. The century, where we note instead of the pursuit of the political class to unite the people and mobilize and mobilize all the strengths and overcome their differences, evade the face of reality and hide its inability and failure to maximize internal differences and make up within them and among them enemies bear responsibility for what is going from retreat and surrender to the external enemy, Absurd to Other.
The Fatah movement is responsible for the division and separation of Hamas, accusing it that since its appearance on the political stage as an Islamic project directed from abroad, its goal was to confront the PLO and the national project. It also accused it of being the maker of division and in keeping with the deal of the century. Hamas responded by accusing the Fatah movement of being responsible for Israel The Oslo Accords and Israel and Israel have a security coordination and their recent authority over the Gaza Strip has strengthened the divide and helped pass the century's deal. The parties of the left absolve themselves of responsibility and regard the Fatah and Hamas movements as "the parties to the division" and hold them responsible for the division and their direct or indirect complicity with the deal of the century.
Despite the fact that the political cause of the Palestinian cause of destruction and destruction and the people of impoverishment and unemployment and frustration and despair, but the political class or elites dominate the limited autonomy granted by Israel in Gaza and some of the West continues to move the Palestinian people from one crisis to another and absurd to another, In the creation and synthesis of crises to distract the people to hide their deficit and failure.
From the crisis of power and the PLO to the crisis of division and salaries, crossings and electricity, and the absurdity of the negotiations settlement to the absurdity of betting on the United Nations and the International Criminal Court and the absurdity of dialogues of reconciliation, and the futility of party resistance improvised missiles and tunnels to the absurdity of the march to lift the siege.
All this goes on with these failed and failed elites continuing to magnify and amplify their discourse on preserving national constants and resistance, refusing to compromise and rejecting the deal of the century etc., believing that this demagogic discourse will be applied to the people indefinitely, while the people know that the discourse of rejection and condemnation alone is not always a national position And does not change anything in fact, and the increasing number of martyrs and wounded, suffering and poverty without real achievement on the ground does not count a victory or a place of pride, but calculated on them.
Thus, we observe the silence applied to the issue of national reconciliation, as if the political class, whether in Gaza or the West, surrendered to the reality of separation and each party wants to distance itself from it and disavow what happened, even though the series of division and separation has been ongoing since 2004 and everyone knows that the split is an Israeli project in collusion with Washington And some Arab countries, employed internal Palestinian differences.
What is happening about the existential danger represented by the division and how the political class deals with it is repeated with the existential danger coming from the deal of the century, which is already applied on the ground and threatens the national whole. At a time when everyone is talking about the seriousness of the deal which requires logically and nationally overcome internal differences note things Are moving in the opposite direction, where internal differences are growing and every Palestinian party conceals its inability to fire at the other party without seeing from any party how to deal with the risk of the deal century, but some parties are consciously or unconsciously withdrawn with this transaction.
All this happens without appearing on the horizon to indicate the possibility of reviewing the political elites of their accounts and correcting their practices or their recognition of the mistake, and even worse, that these elites are dealing with the separation of Gaza and the deal of the century as if they were a given or impossible and can not be met.
There is no doubt that there is a difference between the components of the political class, both in terms of the struggle history of the party and its network of foreign alliances or its final goals or degree of sensitivity to the real national situation and the extent of its public presence etc. However, in the end all goes through a state of confusion and confusion and absent in all national strategy to face the existential threat it represents The occupation is beginning, then the division and the deal of the century is now, and the strategy is not national if it does not reflect the Palestinian people.
