US/Israel is preparing a military coup to overthrow the democratically elected government of Palestine: <<< On October 5, Reuters reported that militias loyal to Abbas are receiving arms and training from the United States. "Expanding the size of the presidential guard," Abbas' personal militia, "by up to 70 percent under a U.S. plan," the report stated, "has become a central part of American policy since [Hamas] beat Abbas's Fatah in elections and took over the government." >>> A re-run of the Lebanon war in Palestine? by Hasan Abu Nimah and Ali Abunimah electronicintifada.net Excellent conclusion to the article: <<< Hamas has done the right thing by abandoning its campaign of suicide attacks on Israeli civilians, observing an ongoing voluntary truce and embracing politics. It should now abandon the effort to hold on to the wreckage of the powerless and discredited Oslo institutions. Instead, it should turn its considerable popularity, organizational skills and increased legitimacy into a full fledged campaign of civil resistance, mobilizing together with other sectors of Palestinian and global civil society against every aspect of Israeli colonialism and racism. This is the only thing it has not yet tried, and it holds out the best hope for a way out of the dark tunnel. >>> Tom
