We are to give the efforts, exerted by the USA, the EU, The UN and the latest Barcelona declaration of the European council, a complete chance to succeed in achieving the long yearned settlement according to the international legitimacy and the UN and the Security Council’s resolutions.

After the welcoming of the Palestinian National Authority to the latest Security Council’s resolution, and to Gen. Zinni’s efforts, all Palestinians should abide with the Leadership’s related decisions, in order to protect the Palestinian national high interest. Breaking these decisions do not only harm the Palestinian national interests, but also considered as a violation to the Palestinian security and safety, which will lead to unnecessary violence that endangers the broad Palestinian public.

Every action carried out at this time, when hope is slowly returning to the citizens, would raise certain questions, like who is benefiting from such actions?. This question is essential and raises more questions, is the conflict between us and the Israelis on this Holy Land only a suicidal one? Or is it a struggle for independence and freedom in our own state? Or does anyone think that a confrontation can decide a war? Confrontations and armed struggle are merely a mean to move the political level towards negotiations, where wars can really be ended.

We do not seek to jump to hasty conclusions, but in every long war, a group or groups of war princes, brokers and others that we do not wish to name them immerge on the scene, that their interest is to recharge the flames of war, and every time the war dims, they refuel it, this is what we should be aware of, because we already know the Israelis and their ways of creating such action even if they hurt their citizens in order to use it against us, therefore the Palestinians should prevent such phenomenon, and inform the fraction that playing with the all’s destiny is forbidden regardless the reasons or the motives.

We are for pluralism and we have encouraged it, moreover we had practiced it and still do, because we understand what pluralism is all about, it is for the benefit of the whole community and for the prosperity of the nation. Pluralism never meant that a fraction of the nation can control the fate of the whole nation.

For the Zionist false allegation of “land without people for people without land” we have paid a dear price that no nation on earth has came close to our sacrifice, we have struggled firmly against the occupier, and we have lost thousands of martyrs and millions of refugees and victims, this price we have paid in order to redeem our identity and to claim back our rights, our blood have moved the international communities and established our image as people fighting for their sacred freedom and independence, thus we will not allow any person or group to distort our clean image. The act near Um Alfahm yesterday against civilians, was useless and does not serve the Palestinian interest especially after developing recently, attacks against Israeli officers and soldiers and their military camps, such actions were never condemned by the international communities, but killing civilians is something else, something that shouldn’t have taken place.

Yet we do not mean that every thing is back to normal, because the road is still long to the declaration of independence, and the vicious political struggle is still ahead of us, but the situation will be easier for both sides, as long it is peaceful negotiations based on the international legitimacy.

We hope that yesterday’s action was the last of its kind. The Palestinians will not allow such acts to take place, because they do not serve the Palestinian national interest and such acts are aimless, useless and lack the right timing conducted by politically naïve persons, such acts lack every national responsibility.
