I I Were Palestinian Leaders

King Abdallah of Jordan calls it a shame. We cannot describe it any less: The Shame of Palestine! Their revered martyr, Yasser Arafat, must be aghast in his grave this day!! Why? Because both Fatah and Hamas are now locked in a civil war of sorts. Can you beat that!

Thanks to Egypt we have had some lid on the inexorable tumbling into full-scale war in their Territories. President Hosni Mubarak should please not give up or relent in his heroic efforts. May the peace we so wish Israel and Palestine not remain elusive forever! Let sanity prevail now.

A helping hand must come from the United Nations which conducted the Hamas-won elections. The international blockade of the Hamas government is as unsustainable as Hamas' refusal to recognise the two-states solution and as Israel's confiscation of legitimate Palestinian resources. Let sanity and pragmatism prevail now.

We look forward to the upcoming royal intervention scheduled for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with hope and prayers. If I were Palestinian leaders, I will act responsibly, respectably, justly, patriotically and with utmost honour. The masses deserve nothing less.

With the show of shame among brothers right now, who will Israel negotiate with? How does a civil war benefit the people, and the Palestinian cause? Never ever.

If I were these warring leaders, I will call off this shame TODAY!
