Hypocrisy behind Gaza’s tragic situation

Political hypocrisy and double standards have been at the origin of Palestinians’ tragic state of affairs in the blockaded Gaza Strip, senior Hamas leader Mousa Abu Marzouk said on Facebook.

“What has such a silence over the implementation of the reconciliation accord been maintained for?”, Abu Marzouk wondered.

“To whoever remains mum over the security coordination and attempts to infanticide democracy . . . you know very well the entire truth; you know very well who truly wants to heal the rift and who doesn’t, who implements the bonds and who doesn’t. But you prefer silence for fear of being castigated,” he said.

“Why on earth don’t you strike a comparison between the situation in blockaded Gaza and that in the West Bank? Has the situation been the same?” Abu Marzouk added.

He attributed the tragedy in the besieged coastal enclave to “political hypocrisy” and the “greed to survive” at the expense of Gazans.

“You don’t want to be part of any solution to Gaza. It is much easier for you to accuse other parties and whitewash yourselves. Such has been your policy of double standards,” the Hamas leader stated.

“How easily can you forget the efforts made by Hamas to work out the crises . . . . You know very well that had not Hamas been there in Gaza, survival would have been almost impossible,” he said.

Abu Marzouk added that Gaza has been paying a steep price for clinging to its tenets and right to resistance and liberation.
