Palestinian Issue Solved at the Expense of Arab Nationalism
Connections ^ | Warren Pollock

Posted on 04/14/2003 12:27:22 PM PDT by wepollock

Preface

No doubt the Palestinians have been brutally victimized. World emotion, opinion and sympathy has naturally stemmed from that oppression. However, it has hardly been mentioned that Arab Fascism may be the greatest contributor to that suffering. The strategy of Arab fascism has been extremely effective in isolating the United States in the court of world political opinion.

Analysis

Today the White House made it clear that the next stop on the roadmap to addressing the Palestinian issue will be Syria. Long sought US involvement to reconcile the Palestinian issue will have the unintended result of undermining those Arabian regimes that do not self-sponsor reform. Like Iraq, Syrian leadership seeks to build a pan-Arabian state on the philosophical foundations of the late Egyptian President Gamal Nassar.

In a bid towards Arab Nationalism Syria has annexed and occupied Lebanon for more than ten years. It has also worked towards its fascist agenda of a greater Arab nation through the Palestinian interest. Arab Nationalism was the major Ba'ath party imperative for both Iraq and Syria.

The Syrians have victimized the Palestinians because they have used that group as an asymmetric terror weapon. Syrian policy blocks the establishment of a Palestinian State because it advocates for an endless self-defeating struggle and regional destabilization to a political objective. The greater purpose was always towards the fascist ideal called Arab Nationalism and never towards the Palestinian interest.

The "Palestinian Street" may think they are the beneficiaries of terror but in fact they have been totally victimized by a shrewd and calculating policy towards Arab Nationalism on the part of Syria.

The strategy of Arab fascism has been extremely effective in isolating the United States in the court of world political opinion. The Arab Street reflects the perception that the United States has been a party to victimization. In reality those providing funds for terror are the true sponsors of perpetual suffering.

This misdirection of culpability towards the United States has been intentional and it has tremendous staying power and momentum.

France and Russia also stand out as the beneficiaries of Arab Nationalism because the very structure of dictatorship itself facilitates client state sponsorship. As the sponsor of a dictatorship business dealings can be struck not to efficiency but to politic.

Syrian adventurism with "weapons of mass destruction," support of terror groups, occupation of Lebanon, and support for Iraq will work against that regime if it seeks to preserve the present course. Without Iraq as a trading partner Syria can be economically isolated to economic implosion.

Ever since I was 13 years old and watched a group of masked Palestinian terrorists make hostage taking and murder an Olympic demonstration sport, there has been no natural sympathy from my end of the world.

1) There are NO palestinians. There are Egyptions (Gaza) and Jordanians (West Bank)

If any victimization has occured here it is their OWN government's unwillingness to sign a peace treaty with Israel - period.

This was the first time I have actually broached the Israeli/Palestinian issue because the US Administration intimated influences outside that bilateral problem (Syria) are participating in self-interest, to a fascist agenda. Having a destructive force feeding the fire of conflict does not serve either primary party.

In acknowledging suffering of the Palestinians to exclusion I am not intimating that other innocents are not victimized. I am only framing the issue in an unusually narrow and overlooked context.

People in Europe do not perceive the destructive force of Fascist-Arab Nationalism even though an alternate example can be found by studying Iraqi genocide of Kurds.

Taking Syrian terror out of the equation represents a major step forward in breaking a cycle of violence.
