Qatari tyrant gets red-carpet reception as Israel bombards Gaza

El tirano de Qatar recibido con alfombra roja en Gaza mientras Israel bombardea
22nd October, 2012
Los enemigos del pueblo árabe se han repartido armoniosamente los papeles. Mientras la aviación israelí asesina selectivamente a los dirigentes y patriotas recalcitrantes que no quieren reconocer la ocupación de la Palestina árabe por la entidad sionista con el aval del imperialismo occidental, el tirano emir qatarí Al Tani es recibido en la franja de Gaza por los dirigentes de la filial palestina de los Hermanos Musulmanes, el partido Hamas. Además los escuadrones de la muerte dirigidos por Turquía y la CIA asesinan a revolucionarios palestinos hermanados en el combate glorioso de Siria contra el imperialismo y el sionismo. El FPLP ha salvado su honor al declinar participar en la comedia de recibir con “honores” al tirano sangriento Al Tani al que le chorrean las manos de sangre del pueblo libio, sirio, bahreiní y yemenita. El imperialismo puede dominar y dividir a las masas árabes gracias a la intervención de petrotiranos como Al Tani que dirigen entidades tan artificiales y neocoloniales como Israel. Al Tani se presenta en Gaza con las maletas llenas de petrodólares con los que sobornar a los dirigentes de Hamas.

Lurking danger: PalestinianrRefugees in Syria
Posted by seumasach on July 26, 2012
This article is important for the following revelation:
A statement issued on July 16 by the Free Syria Army joint command, and cited by AFP, called “pro-regime Palestinian leaders on Syrian soil…‘legitimate targets.’” Considering that cooperation between various PLO factions and Syria goes back decades, the call resembles a death note to numerous Palestinians in Syria. The Palestine Liberation Army, for once, has more or less served a symbolic role. It was barely involved in any military action, whether in or outside Syria. The heinous butchering of these men points to a decided attempt at punishing innocent Palestinians.
As I understand it Hamas did take sides, that of the “rebels”

“The flames are quickly approaching Yarmouk (as) someone is trying to drag the Palestinians into the fire,” commented Palestinian observer Rashad Abu Shawar (as cited in Israeli Jerusalem Post, July 20).

Gaza to be connected to Egypt’s power grid: Egyptian envoy
Posted by seumasach on March 22, 2012
21st March, 2012
The Egyptian Ambassador to Occupied Palestinian Territories Yasser Othman has announced that the Israel-blockaded Gaza Strip will be connected to Egypt’s power grid within the next four to five months.
In a Wednesday interview with Saudi Arabian newspaper, Al-Sharq, Othman said that Egypt and Gaza would start work on connecting their power grids within a few weeks.
“This will lead to a real relief for the deepening crisis in the Gaza Strip,” he said.
He explained that the plan to end Gaza’s power crisis was a two-phased one.
During the first phase, Egypt will supply diesel to Gaza’s sole power plant and in the next one, which will take 18 months to complete, Gaza will be connected to a regional power grid in Egypt.
Gaza has been blockaded since 2007, causing a decline in the standard of living, unprecedented levels of unemployment, and unrelenting poverty.
The full-scale land, aerial, and naval siege has turned the enclave into the world’s largest open-air prison.
In mid-February, Egypt blocked the flow of diesel through the tunnels lying beneath its border with Gaza, which are used to transfer supplies into the impoverished coastal sliver amid the siege.
The stoppage forced the territory’s sole electricity power plant out of work, causing the enclave to start experiencing blackouts of up to 18 hours a day.

The thesis was just about gaining ground that the bitter legacy of the Arab spring is going to be the reawakening of the rough beast of sectarianism in the Muslim Middle East. Sectarian strife, it was prophesied, would lead to a Sunni-Shi’ite confrontation involving Saudi Arabia and Iran.
