Arab Journalist To Palestinians- Recognize Israel

September 5, 2006

Ibrahim begins by saying that the Arab world can continue to stand by the Palestinians “until it is blue in the face,” but most “clever” Arabs have abandoned the notion of the Palestinian conflict and the eternal struggle against Israel.

In the letter, Ibrahim reminds the Palestinians that the state they could have had in 1948 was much larger than the one they could have established in 1967, which would have been larger than any future Palestinian state.  A struggle, according to Ibrahim, means less land and more sorrow and total isolation––and the situation is not going to improve. Ibrahim also told the Palestinians that the Israelis have no intention of leaving Jaffa, Haifa, Tel Aviv, or west Jerusalem.

The journalist slammed the Palestinians for allowing their children to grow up to be illiterate, sick, and suicidal, while they live by the kindness of the United States and the United Nations. “Every day your leadership begs for the daily bread allowance,” continued Ibrahim, “while the extreme, criminal Muslim government led by the Hamas continues to fan the flames of war, which it cannot fight and has no hope of winning.”

The Egyptian journalist went on to say that Arab nations bordering Israel, such as Egypt and Jordan, have signed a peace treaty with Israel and have no intention of fighting Israel for the Palestinian cause. Arab nations located far from Israel, such as Iraq, do not really care what becomes of the Palestinians, he said, adding that only Syria continues to feed the Palestinians’ “fantasies” that it will one day join the Palestine struggle.

Ibrahim concluded by saying that the “Palestinians are stuck with Hamas, another deceitful gang, like Yasser Arafat, who stole millions while Palestinian children played in the gutters of Gaza.”
