In
addition, several Palestinian factions have urged the
Palestinian leadership to withdraw from the Arab League to protest the refusal
of the Arab countries to condemn normalization with Israel. Earlier this month,
the Arab League foreign ministers refused to endorse
a Palestinian draft resolution condemning the UAE for its decision to make
peace with Israel.
«The
resolutions of the Arab League are mortgaged to the Zionist American
administration,» the factions said in a statement.
«Normalization [with Israel] is a huge betrayal of the Palestinian issue and a
stab to the sacrifices and pain of the Palestinians and Arabs.»
The
threats to pull out from the Arab League and withdraw Palestinian ambassadors
from Arab countries that establish relations with Israel have sparked mockery
and a flurry of critical comments in the Arab world, particularly the Gulf
states. The main theme of the criticism: The Palestinian do not learn from
their mistakes.
The
Arab criticism, directed mostly against the leaders of the Palestinians, is yet
another indication of the growing antagonism between the Palestinians and the
Arab world. At this pace, Palestinians might wake up one morning to discover
that they no longer have any friends in the Arab countries at all.
Many
Arabs are outraged by the Palestinian threats, as well as the daily attacks on
the UAE and Bahrain. These include accusations that the two Gulf states have
«betrayed Al-Aqsa Mosque, Jerusalem and the Palestinian issue» by agreeing to
establish relations with Israel. The Arabs are also reminding the Palestinians
of the many opportunities they missed when they rejected a number of peace
initiatives and plans.
Lebanese
journalist Khairallah Khairallah expressed outrage
over the Palestinians’ labelling of the signing ceremony of the
Israel-UAE-Bahrain deals at the White House as a «black day.»
«The Palestinian leaders are refusing to learn from past experiences. The Palestinian armed organizations have repeated Jordan’s experience in Lebanon. They played a role in destroying Lebanon [during the civil war]. Would the Palestinian issue have benefited had the Palestinian organizations managed in 1970 to overthrow King Hussein?»
«It was expected that Abu Mazen [Mahmoud Abbas] would have learned from the mistakes of Yasser Arafat and from the mistakes of the experiences of Jordan and Lebanon, but he took the worst of Yasser Arafat. Half a century after what Palestinians call ‘Black September,’ nothing has changed. The Palestinians still have the ability to make the same mistakes.» (Al-Arab, September 20, 2020)
Saudi
political analyst Sami al-Morshid pointed out that the Palestinian leadership
has in the past rejected several peace initiatives and treaties. Each time the
Palestinians do this, al-Morshid said, «they lose.»
«Unfortunately, Palestinian leaders, repeat the same mistakes. They rejected the Egyptian and Jordan peace initiatives [with Israel], and they rejected US President Bill Clinton’s peace initiative [at the 2000 Camp David summit]. These days, they reject President Donald Trump’s peace initiative and, finally, they reject the peace initiatives of the UAE and Bahrain.»
Iraqi
writer Farouk Youssef said that the Palestinians’ problem is that their leaders
do not want a Palestinian state. «The Palestinians failed to establish their
state,» Youssef remarked.
‘They failed because they did not want to establish a state. Here I mean the political leaders, some of whom still insist on repeating revolutionary phrases. The establishment of a Palestinian state will be a burden on the Palestinian leaders and will prevent them from practicing corruption. The Palestinians need to realize that the others were tired. The Authority is no longer suitable to represent the Palestinian people.» (Al-Arabiya, September 19, 2020)
Saudi
writer Yusef al-Qabalan also accused Palestinian leaders of repeatedly
rejecting peace initiatives over the past few decades. Noting that the
Palestinians had failed to take advantage of the Arab Peace Initiative, adopted
in 2002 by the Arab leaders, al-Qabalan wrote:
«The realistic choice for the Palestinian leaders was to activate that Arab initiative in all political ways at the international level. What happened? The Palestinian leaders met the peace initiatives with rhetoric of betrayal and slogans that do not achieve anything on the ground. The Palestinian leaders turned to the traffickers of their issue, such as Iran, Turkey and Qatar and lost their strongest card, which is national unity. Palestinian leaders failed to invest in opportunities. They failed to take strategic decisions and chose [instead] to forge an alliance with Iran.» (Al-Riyadh, September 18, 2020)
UAE
Islamic cleric Wassem Yousef, addressing the Palestinians and other Arabs who
reject peace with Israel, wrote on Twitter:
«Israel did not destroy Syria; Israel did not burn Libya; Israel did not displace the people of Egypt; Israel did not destroy Libya, and Israel did not tear up Lebanon. Before you Arabs blame Israel, take a look at yourselves in the mirror. The problem is in you.»
Palestinian
leaders, meanwhile, are ignoring the messages and advice from their Arab
brothers. The Palestinian leaders in the West Bank and Hamas in the Gaza Strip
do not like to be reminded of their mistakes. Moreover, they are unwilling to
accept any advice, even when it comes from Arab states that used to pour
billions of dollars on them. The biggest losers, of course, are again the
Palestinians — who are quickly losing the sympathy of a growing number of Arabs.
