Titolo: PA Could be Too Late for Two States

Un articolo che prende in esame la probabile evoluzione di Israele verso 
la forma di stato binazionale.
Era tutto prevedibile ed ampiamente previsto, a dispetto degli forzi 
disperati dei cosiddetti "sostenitori di Israele" di far credere che non 
fosse questo l'esito inevitabile della strategia della elite "sionista".
A rendere ancora più fosco l'orizzonte si profila un ampio movimento del 
mondo arabo/islamico verso un assetto meno amichevole nei confronti 
dell'Occidente e, in particolare, nei confronti di quello che ad esso 
appare il suo tallone in M.O.: Israele.
E anche questo movimento era prevedibile, e previsto.
Ora dovrebbe essere diventato chiaro chi sono i difensori di Israele e 
chi i suoi peggiori nemici.

PA Could be Too Late for Two States
Analysis by Mel Frykberg
RAMALLAH, Jan 26, 2011 (IPS) - The credibility of the Palestinian 
Authority (PA) on the Arab street has been further weakened by the 
release of the ‘Palestine Papers’, but ironically the release of the 
explosive documents by Al Jazeera could bolster support for the 
Palestinian cause internationally.
The Palestine Papers describe the compromises the Palestinian Authority 
(PA) was prepared to make on key issues such as illegal Jewish 
settlements, the status of Haram al-Sharif (Temple Mount), refugees and 
the right of return, in addition to security co-operation with Israel.
The release of these papers has now been followed by data through 
Wikileaks that suggest that the PA has been engaged in extensive 
cooperation with the Israelis.
But while the release of documents that point to a strong Palestinian 
push to make compromises in negotiations could garner global support for 
the theoretical establishment of a Palestinian state, it appears that 
practical facts on the ground by way of settlement building have 
rendered a two-state solution to the protracted Palestinian-Israeli 
conflict null and void.
The only viable option, many analysts agree, is ultimately an 
egalitarian, non- racist one-state solution for Palestinians and 
Israelis living together.
"Despite the crowing of the PA’s critics in light of the enormous damage 
and embarrassment the documents’ release has caused the PA, stronger 
international support could be another outcome," Dr Samir Awad from 
Birzeit University near Ramallah told IPS.
"As international sympathy for the Palestinian cause continues to grow, 
against a background of Israel’s most right-wing, and some argue, most 
racist government to date, Israeli intransigence in the negotiations, 
and its repeated claims that it has no peace partner in the 
Palestinians, have been fully exposed as bald-faced lies."
Israeli analyst Aluff Benn concurred when he commented in the Israeli 
daily ‘Haaretz’, "The documents show that contrary to the ‘no-partner’ 
image perpetuated by Israelis, the Palestinians were holding serious 
negotiations on the borders of their future state and produced a 
detailed map of territorial exchanges in the West Bank and neighbourhood 
partitions in East Jerusalem."
"It is entirely possible that the dramatic leak may have a boomerang 
effect that will see increased support for Palestinian President Mahmoud 
Abbas, who is being portrayed as wrongfully persecuted," said Israeli 
commentator Avi Issacharoff.
"Despite initial fears, it's likely that the release of the Palestine 
papers by Al- Jazeera and The Guardian will not bring about a political 
earthquake in the Palestinian Authority - or even a power struggle 
within Fatah," added Issacharoff.
These fears, and more, were voiced by PA officials who responded with 
fury in the media, slamming Al Jazeera in long monologues and accusing 
the Qatar- based station of having an agenda re the timing of the 
documents’ release.
A group of young men – believed to be Fatah activists and possibly PA 
security force members - tried to break into Al Jazeera’s Ramallah 
office, causing some damage before Palestinian police intervened. This 
is a tactic Fatah supporters have used before to attempt to create the 
impression that they were regular citizens angered by the PA’s critics.
However, despite experts across the divide agreeing that, although 
weakened, the PA will ultimately survive the explosive disclosures, 
Israel’s deliberate strategy of settlement building in the occupied West 
Bank seriously threatens the practicality of a Palestinian state.
"There was a brief window of opportunity for the successful 
implementation of a two-state solution several years ago. But Israel’s 
continued settlement building in and around East Jerusalem and in the 
West Bank have made the possibility of the establishment of a contiguous 
Palestinian state impossible," says Awad.
Facts on the ground have changed dramatically since the Palestinian 
negotiators presented the "most generous offer ever" in regard to the 
borders of their future state.
Currently the West Bank is divided into three cantons and represents a 
Bantustan with bits and pieces of Palestinian areas surrounded by 
illegal Israeli settlements, while parts of East Jerusalem are isolated 
from the rest of the city by settlements.
The maps presented by the Palestinian negotiators, which were based on 
the Clinton peace plan and the Geneva Initiative, are no longer a 
geographic reality.
The Geneva Initiative map for example left one large illegal Israeli 
settlement of Har Homa in East Jerusalem in Israeli territory but the 
Palestinian maps marked the settlement on the Palestinian side of the 
border. Due to continued settlement construction Har Homa has grown and 
in future the Israelis want it included inside the borders of the Jewish 
state.
Another illegal settlement bloc Etzion, which is adjacent to Jerusalem, 
has also grown substantially and eats further away into Palestinian 
territory. This, analysts argue, was always the Israeli plan - to build 
extensively and strategically to establish facts on the ground and make 
a viable Palestinian state harder while peace talks dragged on.
The ultimate test will come in September this year, the date the PA has 
set for unilaterally declaring a Palestinian state.
"This declaration will have more to do with garnering global backing for 
the Palestinian cause even if it is not practical on the ground. The 
only alternative is eventually a one state solution where Jews and Arabs 
enjoy equality. But this will be preceded by a long and bloody struggle 
similar to South Africa," Awad told IPS.
John Mearsheimer, co-author with Stephen Walt of the widely acclaimed 
book ‘The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy’, stated that he believed 
the two- state solution was no longer possible.
"The next phase will be struggle for Palestinian rights within a 
‘greater Israel’" he says. A key element of that struggle will be inside 
the Jewish Diaspora, between those he terms "Righteous Jews", that is, 
those who favour universal human rights, and "the New Afrikaners" – 
those who will defend "greater Israel" no matter how it treats its 
Palestinian subjects. (END)

 Era tutto prevedibile ed ampiamente previsto,

credete che per questi quattro soldi,
questa gloria da stronzi,
avrei scritto pirlizioni?
poi sono nato fesso
quindi tiro avanti e non mi svesto
dei panni che sono solito portare
ho tante cose ancor da raccontare
per chi vuole ascoltare
e in culo a tutto il resto.
