Kassam Rocket

The Arab League and the Quartet - America, Russia, the European Union and United Nations - have become totally paralyzed the Hamas and Fatah was in the other in Gaza with a ferocity that makes the endless procession of pious resolutions adopted at the United Nations condemning Israel's "brutality and violations of international humanitarian law" what they have always been - totally hypocritical and quite grotesque.

Laying people off tall buildings, murdering patients in hospital and fire the heads of people now join the list of bizarre practices Gaza inhuman and barbarous.

culture of violence in Gaza has soared to new limits of horror and disgust even the Arab League and the Quartet are not lifting a finger actively stop it.

The chickens are now coming home to roost with a vengeance of the Arab League and the Quartet.

The Arab League peace plan (2002) and the Quartet's Road (2003) is sponsoring an independent state in the West Bank and Gaza - only 6% of historic Palestine - have been disastrous decisions back any hope for peace in the region During the last five years.

The expectations of the Palestinian Authority now had the public and political support in the world firmly behind the creation of an independent state in the West Bank and Gaza, encouraged to continue to make three demands that Israel does not could not possibly accept:

1. The withdrawal of every inch of the Gaza Strip and West Bank

2. The right to return to Israel for millions of former Arab residents and their descendants who wished to do

3. The removal of 450,000 Jews from Gaza and the West Bank where they lived until age 40 and their forced repatriation to Israel if they do not want to leave voluntarily.

precipitate action in Israel unilaterally evacuate all Jewish settlers in the 7000 Gaza in 2005 has helped fuel these expectations and even more - the belief that it was the first step in the eventual destruction of Israel.

Instead of dancing and singing in the streets and engage in nation building, Gaza reverberated to the sounds of hundreds of Kassam rockets fired at Israel, suicide missions were carried out in Israel, a total collapse Agenda occurred and increased smuggling of weapons, Egypt has been achieved - at the same time as a population increasingly hostile and belligerent voted Hamas into power.

Whatever you think of Hamas - they mean what they say and do not mince their words. The goal of Hamas is the destruction of Israel - neither more nor less.

The Arab League and the Quartet have not been listened to and continued to pursue their misguided policies and flawed by the support of the Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in his supposed quest to reach a state in the Gaza Strip and West Bank - even though Hamas has begun to consolidate its position as the government in the Gaza Strip.

Attempts by the Arab League to negotiate a unity Hamas-Fatah government has failed miserably.

Abbas became President without a tuft of real power or authority. Now disappearance of Mr Abbas in Gaza is very close to its forces to wilt under the onslaught of Hamas.

The current carnage has ensured once and for all the loss of any project to establish an independent state in the West Bank and Gaza.

Perhaps the Arab League and the Quartet must now consider the expression used by Plato in his Republic, written in 369BC:

"Then I said, we begin and create in idea a State and yet the true creator is necessity, who is the mother of our invention"

The idea of creating a state in Gaza and the West.
