I've Been Thinking:
On Wednesday the Tanzim, the Palestinian Authority Fatah military wing, gathered together for a meeting. They called for armed conflict with Israel.
This is a huge divergence from the past. It is a game changer. This declaration outs the Tanzim and puts them squarely in the Hamas and Hezbollah camp.
How do we know that this call was authentic and real? Because the meeting took place in Ramallah and because Abbas’ deputy, Mahmoud al Aloul, was present at he meeting. Also present was Fatah Central Committee member Tawfik Tirawi. Even official Fatah Spokesman Osama Qawasmeh said that this call to arms was in line with established Fatah ideology to fight Israel.
The Tanzim called for violent confrontations and not just demonstration on Fridays.
It now seems clear that Palestinian leadership is intent on taking advantage of the momentum of violence and protest and push it forward,
The sad reality is that Palestinian leadership is not pursuing a path towards peace.
Instead, it is pushing for the destruction of Israel. They are in pursuit of an impossible and unattainable goal.
Israel is not going away.
