"Why doesn't Hamas examine itself and [learn] from experience? Why doesn't it reassess its resistance strategy from a political and military point of view? [The answer is] that Hamas, [like the rest of the Palestinians] is a victim of its catastrophic mistakes and a hostage of the culture of despair, addicted to helplessness...

"Hamas' helplessness exposes the truth about the plans of the Muslim Brotherhood in the Arab world. The old sheikhs of the Muslim Brotherhood never managed to reconcile their Islamism with democracy. Gaza is a concrete example of the Muslim Brotherhood's [brand of] democracy, which is incapable of coexisting with other independent organizations... The Muslim Brotherhood has become more important [to Hamas] than [the principles of] national unity, and takes precedence over joint resistance against the occupation...

"Who will tell the Arab societies that resistance has become a career rather than a mission, and a job rather than a means to achieve the noble goals of liberation and freedom?... The Arabs have [already] shattered [Israel's] dream for a 'Greater Israel.' Sooner or later, Israel will realize that it is impossible to go on living in a ghetto surrounded by a turbulent ocean of [Arabs]. [Then] this alien entity will dissolve in this ocean... It will either blend in and [learn] to coexist [with the Arabs], or else vanish [from the face of the earth]."(3)

Palestinian Journalist: Hamas Is Leading the Palestinians to Mass Suicide against Their Will

In an article posted on the reformist website www.metransparent.com, titled "How Long Will the Gazans Pay the Price of Hamas' Stupidity," Palestinian journalist Nadia 'Ilabouni, who resides in Vienna, accused Hamas of "trading in blood" and of carrying out the agendas of external forces:

"There is no argument... regarding the criminal and barbaric behavior of the [Israeli] occupation forces in the Palestinian territories... But that certainly does not [mean] that we should disregard [the fact] that it is Hamas that is politically responsible for causing Israel to torture the Palestinians and to make their lives unbearable in numerous ways... which is a crime no less grave than those perpetrated by the occupation.

"Hamas' ongoing rocket [attacks] on the [Israeli] settlement of Sderot... were and still are an irresponsible [tactic] that brings the [Palestinians] nothing but evil and bitter consequences... The Palestinians have paid for this [tactic] with thousands of [people] killed, wounded, crippled, and arrested – while the political gain has been negligible...

"To continue this impolitic strategy means to continue on a path that will lead, sooner or later, to collective suicide. It is Hamas that is leading the Palestinians to this suicide, against their will... Hamas has turned the Palestinians... in the eyes of the world, from a people with a just cause to a bunch of desperate paupers begging for help.

"What Hamas needs is a little dignity and a little shame. [It must] understand that its path is leading only to the humiliation of the Palestinians and to the [trampling] of their honor. What the Palestinians need is for Hamas to show some responsibility – even a little – and realize that the Palestinians are not mythological beings from outer space but human beings, who need what all other human beings need in order to stay alive...

"Before begging for compassion from the world, we had better have some compassion for ourselves, [and protect ourselves] from the tyranny and control of those who trade in blood – [those] who are not committed to the Palestinian cause, but are serving the agendas of external forces that have nothing to do with the Palestinian interests. That is the truth, and we must say it loud and clear – since it is the people of Gaza, and only they, who are now paying, with their blood and with the blood of their children, for the stupid policies of Hamas. It is high time to put a stop to this abuse of the Palestinian destiny."(4)
