A Message To HAMAS And FATAH:

January 28-2009:

A Message To H.A.M.A.S. And F.A.T.A.H.!

It is now high time for both of these political camps to unite for the common good, progress, and survival of all Palestinians. The continuous infighting, murder, and disunity between you, will not serve any of your separate interests in the long term.

As you continue to divide and rule your supporters or sympathizers, and continues to fight among yourselves. Israel will continue doing or acting arbitrarily, without any regard for how the international community views them.

And they will always say to the international community, that they are fighting terror!

So here are a few suggestions that I believe will pave the way towards Palestinian unity, and finally sovereignty.

* HAMAS MUST declare publicly that they accept Israel as a sovereign nation, and has no designs to obliterate them.

* FATAH MUST seek to incorporate HAMAS in the political processes, in order for any unity to take place.

* There must be consorted efforts on both sides, to seek unity, in order to govern Palestinians from both regions, under a political system that recognizes both political camps, and respects each other's right to seek converts or supporters voluntarily, and without threats or coercion.

* HAMAS MUST seek to repair the breech with FATAH as quickly as possible, and declare it's intention to join FATAH in a united political administration, which would strive to ensure that the democratic process is maintained, and that political checks are put in place for a peaceful transition of governance, after any democratic election is held.

FINALLY:

Until there is unity between HAMAS and FATHA, the international community will be unable to work effectively, or support both camps effectively, in times of crisis, and military aggression.

Until as I said before, HAMAS declare and incorporate in it's constitution a clause, that declares they have no designs to eradicate the state of Israel. Then and only then, will the international community of nations know, they are truly serious about a Palestinian state. And would be more willing to assist in every way to bring this about!.
