Despite the
manufactured "humanitarian crisis" in Gaza and (
perhaps because of) extensive al-Jazeera coverage, Arab countries have been muted in their support for Gazan Arabs - and
Hamas is frustrated, as Iranian al-Aram reports:
A senior member of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas has criticized Arab and Islamic states' stance towards Gaza blockade by the Israeli occupying regime.
Speaking to Alalam TV Tuesday, Hamas representative at the Palestinian Legislative Assembly, Ahmed Abu Halbiyeh lashed out at Arab countries, asking them to rise and save the Palestinian people as soon and effectively as possible.
"Hamas movement calls on the leaders of all Arab and Islamic countries, parliaments, political parties, and people to help save the Palestinian nation," Hamas official said.
"Unfortunately, Arab and Islamic countries have not so far given a positive response to our calls, and there has been only little talk for putting pressure on the Zionist regime or for encouraging the Palestinian groups to resume internal negotiations and find a resolution to the Zionists' blockade", Abu Halbiyeh said.
He further noted that "it seems the Palestinian blood is not important for the Arab and Islamic countries".
Hamas legislator said that the Palestinian nation would fulfill their duties concering resistance against occupation by every possible means, and "criticism goes to those countries which make no effort to help the Palestinian people".
Sounds like a spoiled teenager screaming to his parents "You don't love me!"
