A Nablus family demonstrates to protest the killing of a young relative who was shot in the head while standing at home during a Fateh-Hamas fight last month. The family demands some justice from those responsible. (Arabic)They blame Abbas and Haniyeh, since both were the leaders at the time. Abbas and Hanieyh continue to lead; no one will be punished for what happened. No one will be tried. No one will lose his chair. Tabtabeh fe tabtabeh.After all, only 100 Palestinians were killed. Not a big deal. We are used to giving generously. The Mecca meeting was the Palestinian version of "truth and reconciliation" or rather "kiss, share spoils, and smile for the camera so the picture will look nice." All, I'm sorry to say, is part of the civil war rehearsal.
If Abbas and Haniyeh have one drop of blood in their faces, they at least should resign for failing to carry out their responsibilities to their own people. This is the meaning of accountability. Bass elli esta7o matu--or rather were all assassinated a long time ago!
