There is so much in our Palestinian reality that requires writing about, particularly the political behavior-which can only be understood through the science of psychology and not the science of politics-relating to the formation of the national unity government.

What we see with our own eyes and touch with our own fingers and hear with our ears about the dialogue and the rounds of dialogue and the art of dialogue, the maneuvers, games and the difficulty of dialogue, appears to be a semi-state of illness which is an addiction; addiction to dialogue and addiction to failure. We hear nothing but accusations. We clearly see how the interpretation is more important than text and how the smile covers up a dagger and how lies are covered up with pious.

Today, I want to write again about a brave woman who occupies an important international position. It is Karen Abu Zayd, the UNRWA commissioner general, who is currently under severe attack from the Israeli Foreign Ministry. The reason behind this attack is that Karen Abu Zayd, due to her position and the responsibility that she bears, pays attention to the minute details of the reality of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees in the Gaza Strip, which is a tragic reality as everyone agrees.

To show how tragic the situation is, those refugees were turned into refugees several times as a result of the Israeli military actions. She visits them in the schools in which they sought refuge in after their homes were demolished over their heads.

She, who knows the details of their suffering and needs, the misery of their days and the torture of their children and due to her position, her honesty and her live humane conscience, cannot turn her face away and act as if she cannot see a disaster.

But the stronger reason for the attack of the Israeli Foreign Ministry on Karen Abu Zayd, is that she vehemently rejects joining the miserable and lying choir that glorifies the Palestinian rockets that Karen Abu Zayd precisely describes as “homemade rockets.”

This is a true, realistic, scientific and unbiased description. The whole world says that the destructive Israeli response is disproportionate to these homemade rockets. Therefore, why this excessive Israeli attack on Karen Abu Zayd, who courageously bears her responsibility and goes about daily among the people she is assigned to care for, i.e. the Palestinian refugees, who knows about the death, misery and destruction they are subjected to?

The position of the Israeli foreign minister reminds us, the Palestinians, that Israel wants us to drown deeper in this dark game, the game of exaggerating the rockets. Israel, according to the Foreign Ministry spokesperson, wants to continue the exaggerated propaganda of the rockets and attacks anyone who describes these rockets in their true dimensions. Do we learn a lesson or do we continue in our game and in our addiction to our failed dialogues?

Once again, we thank Karen Abu Zayd for her honesty in carrying her responsibility and for her great courage.
