The petrodollar-Arab-League!

 The Israeli occupation aggressions against Gaza are underway to the silence of the Arab league! Or to be objective, to the flagrant, shameful stances of some Arab countries, not to mention the international hypocrisy of justifying the ongoing aggression. The meeting of Arabs’ foreign ministerial meeting in Cairo, in the absence of Syria, did look like a bath with no water.

Some issued statements by petrodollar states did reflect but the political, moral, and human bankruptcy. The lost can’t save the lost, nor can the blind lead the blind. The direct reason for such a meeting was to ‘end the Israeli aggressions against Gaza’; the many indirect reasons, however, were but to save Netanyahu’s political future before the forthcoming elections  from a further humiliation. It is another sinister bid by anti-Syrians to divert attention from the Israeli occupation and brutal aggressive practices to Syria, which has been waging a defensive strategy in protection of its citizens, institutions, security and stability.

Many sharp contradictions emerge from such a meeting: those who around the clock have been issuing verdicts for the killing of Syrians, and calling for the protection of the Syrians from their own legitimate government, seemed paralyzed when it came to the protection of the Palestinian civilians from their occupiers! The Syrians who have been fighting the foreign-backed armed and al-Qaeda –affiliated terrorist organizations should stop their defense of their country, and those who once suggested the dispatching of troops to Syria did stop short of even citing such a possibility to protect the Palestinians from the butchers.

In less than 24 hours of the Palestinians’ surprises to the occupation, the petro-dollar Arabs and the almost the world at large did move as to save Israel from a further 2006 defeat. Petro-dollar Arabs are on the move under the dictations of their patrons in the Oval House, not to mention their friends in Tel-Aviv! The objective is clear, the Palestinians should surrender to the arbitrary assassination and mass killing by the Israelis; the Palestinians should stop the launching of missiles, and even withdraw from Gaza and the West Bank to leave their land of ancestors to the ‘Chosen People’! Is it a prelude for mass expulsion of the Palestinians to a substitute homeland NEARBY!

A friend in need is a friend indeed! What about the friendship of petrodollars? Isn’t it a curse? The place of freedom fighters and resistance men is in the lap of the remaining honest, brave, and dignified, and never ever is to be where even demonstrations in support of the Palestinians are prohibited.
