Don't curse the darkness, light a candle.

A unified Palestinian leadership

 is urgently needed

Iraelel's  plan is to turn the Gaza Strip into one big prison ...Israeli Premier Ariel Sharon's plan to continue to build the racist separation wall, which confiscates 58 percent of the West Bank's territory and destroys the prospects of an independent Palestinian state...

This comes along with political traps set in order to paint the Palestinians as being against international law and the United Nations, and to ease Israel's isolation in the wake of the ICJ verdict,...

The current security breakdown does not serve anyone except the enemies of the Palestinian people and those whose only concern is to compete for personal and sectarian gains. What happened in Gaza only expresses the narrowmindedness of those who are busy fighting over positions of power while power itself is in the hands of the Israelis.

The power struggle in Gaza during the current conditions is nothing but a fight for a policeman's role in a prison administered by the Israeli occupation, and this fight in Gaza is being used to distract the Palestinians from their core battle against the separation wall, criminal incursions into Beit Hanoun and the razing of houses in Rafah, Khan Younis and other parts of the Gaza Strip.
