Hamas cambia fronte, e ora supporta i ribelli siriani

Leaders of the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas turned publicly
against their long-time ally President Bashar al-Assad of Syria on
Friday, endorsing the revolt aimed at overthrowing his dynastic rule.
 
The policy shift deprives Assad of one of his few remaining Sunni
Muslim supporters in the Arab world and deepens his international
isolation. It was announced in Hamas speeches at Friday prayers in
Cairo and a rally in the Gaza Strip.
 
Hamas went public after nearly a year of equivocating as Assad’s army,
largely led by fellow members of the president’s Alawite sect, has
crushed mainly Sunni protesters and rebels.
 
In a Middle East split along sectarian lines between Shi’ite and Sunni
Islam, the public abandonment of Assad casts immediate questions over
Hamas’s future ties with its principal backer Iran, which has stuck by
its ally Assad, as well as with Iran’s fellow Shi’ite allies in
Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement.
 
“I salute all the nations of the Arab Spring and I salute the heroic
people of Syria who are striving for freedom, democracy and reform,”
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, visiting Egypt from the Gaza Strip, told
thousands of Friday worshippers at Cairo’s al-Azhar mosque.
 
“We are marching towards Syria, with millions of martyrs,” chanted
worshippers at al-Azhar, home to one of the Sunni world’s highest
seats of learning. “No Hezbollah and no Iran.
 
“The Syrian revolution is an Arab revolution.”
 
Contemporary political rivalries have exacerbated tensions that date
back centuries between Sunnis - the vast majority of Arabs - and
Shi’ites, who form substantial Arab populations, notably in Lebanon
and Iraq, and who dominate in non-Arab Iran.
 
Hamas and Hezbollah, confronting Israel on its southwestern and
northern borders, have long had a strategic alliance against the
Jewish state, despite opposing positions on the sectarian divide. Both
have fought wars with Israel in the past six years.
 
But as the Sunni-Shi’ite split in the Middle East deepens, Hamas
appears to have cast its lot with the powerful, Egypt-based Sunni
Islamists of the Muslim Brotherhood, whose star has been in the
ascendant since the Arab Spring revolts last year.

 Hamas cambia fronte, e ora supporta i ribelli siriani
 
lo specchietto preventivo non fa apparire i sostenitori dell'asse
Siria-Hamas-Iran meno pirla di quanto siano.

 L'Iran ha preso un'altra mazzata in faccia
 
A me invece la cosa preoccupa: data la consolidata abilità palestinese
di compiere la scelta sbagliata, non vorrei che tale endorsement fosse
un sintomo del prossimo collasso dei ribelli...

 in testa.
 
Il fatto che il vaso fosse pieno significa qualcosa?

Sbaglierò, ma non mi sembra una strategia vincente.
