Killing the Dream of a Secular, Democratic Palestinian State
[Ynet News ] Zohir Andreus - It is difficult for me to be a Palestinian-Arab these days, because I'm simply ashamed. The schism between Hamas and Fatah has become a done deal, and all the talk about attempts to mend the rift is nothing but empty words. The conduct of my people in the "liberated" Gaza Strip and in the West Bank does not leave room for any doubt: The dream of establishing a democratic and secular Palestinian state alongside the State of Israel is dissipating. My people is the only one in the world that has no state and two governments. World public opinion is justifiably asking: How can such a split nation establish a state if they behave this way towards each other? The writer is CEO of the Israeli Arab newspaper Ma-Alhadath.
