The world's hypocrisy, especially the hypocrisy of the Jewish and Israeli Left, is best borne out by the Palestinians themselves. No, I'm not referring to the well-dressed, well-fed self-appointed representatives of the PA, the PLO, and Hamas. I'm referring to the simple, working class Palestinian Arab.
You see, as opposed to the Left, I live among Palestinians. Right now, I hired an Aran named Ghattib and his son Ayman, to help us move to a temporary apartment while we renovate our house. The tale he tells us is horrific. They have no medical insurance. They have no medications. They have only fifth class hospitals (as in Bethlehem and Hebron). They used to get a minimum ration of oil and flour. Once the PA goons found out that Ghattib does occasional work for Jews, they cut him off because he must rich. His daughter-in-law has rheumatism and had to travel to Amman for treatment. Ghattib is working overtime to fund her treatment. Why don't you have medical insurance, I asked?
The fatcats in the PA take all the money and build themselves mansions, buy clothes and fancy cars. They leave nothing for us.
This is the state the same fatcats are crying for. I guess it's good for them. For Ghattib, it's an ongoing nightmare.
Yasher koiach, well said.
ReplyDeleteThe world refuses to believe that the suffering of the Palestinians is because of the Palestinian leaders, not because of the so-called occupation. That the western world, which is supposed to champion human rights and progress, wants to turn the PA into a state is the ultimate hypocrisy.
