The unity government cover story

The UN is so concerned over the fate of the palestinians:

The United Nations’ trade and development agency warned Tuesday that the Palestinian economy was declining dramatically, leading to a worsening this year of already high unemployment and poverty levels in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

“The economy of the occupied Palestinian territory is on the verge of collapse,” the U.N. Conference on Trade and Development said, adding that “projections indicate economic decline to levels not seen for a generation.”

We’ve been hearing this same projection year-in, year-out, from this same body, from the EU, from the pro-palestinian groups and the media.

And yet, palestinian civilization (such that it is) has not collapsed. People are not starving. Mothers are not eating their children. The world is not readying great rock concerts to halt the famine in the palestinian territories, because there is no famine, no starvation, and no crisis. The situation is pretty much as it was last year, except the PA isn’t paying salaries—officially. Those people are getting money from somewhere, somehow. They are eating, aren’t they?

So what’s this all about?

Simple. It’s another step towards legitimizing the terrorists government of the palestinian territories. The move to a “unity government” is the sop that the world has needed to justify openly supporting the murderers of Jews and Israelis worldwide. The fiction is now becoming the official cover story: Since Fatah will once more be in control, terrorists are no longer running the PA.

The real fiction, of course, is that the world pretends Fatah is not full of terrorists, or that Fatah does not also want the destruction of Israel. Mahmoud Abbas is not as powerful as his predecessor, nor as well-known or popular, but he learned at the feet of his master how to manipulate the gullible fools of the EU, the UN, and the U.S.: Just say all the right words, in English, to the world media, and people will ignore the fact that your organization funds the terrorists who murder innocents.

The new deal between Fatah and Hamas has nothing to do with recognizing Israel, and nothing to do with stopping terror attacks. It has everything to do with getting the world to turn on the money spigot, because the pals have had to dig into their reserves lately, and they must be getting drained.

Funny, for a people whose economy is in ruin and about to collapse, they’re in awfully good shape, especially compared to, say, the Sudanese.

Don’t believe a word you read about Hamas recognizing Israel “implicitly,” or Fatah being a “moderating influence” on the PA. Hamas is still going to control the ministries of education and interior, both ministries that deal directly with the people. Hamas will continue the anti-Israel indoctrination of palestinian youth, and the brainwashing of the general population, into thinking that jihad is the answer.

The sad thing is, the world has been ready and waiting for a cover story they can run with, and it’s possible that this may finally be the one. I’m hoping for the usual palestinian intramural fighting to cause the usual meltdown. Word on the street is that the natives are getting restless: Hamas is finally polling poorly.

Of course, in office or out, they’re still murdering bastards.
