Hamas and Fatah

Fatah and hamas are fighting it out for the control of Gaza strip. Years ago, when Hamas was just a very small and marginal group, Israel helped it to grow in the vain hope that it will destroy Fatah. Now it is happening. Apparently the Israelis brought a dragon into the wolf’s den(wolf from their viewpoint, not mine) to get rid of it, without thinking twice what will they do when the dragon has won and killed the wolf.

Now what they wished for is happening. But will it help the Israeli occupation? I doubt it. This dragon is 10 times more dangerous than the wolf it has replaced. Living side by side with a dragon is ten times more difficult than living near a wolf’s den. Hamas will win this battle if Fatah is not helped out by the reactionary Arab governments and the Saudi money. Americans and Israelis for the time being will watch the battle from the sides, not taking part, hoping on hope that both organizations will demise. It is a vain hope. Hamas will most probably win in the long term, and that will bring Palestinians one more step closer to freedom from the yoke of the Israeli oppression.
