Rafah, November 23 - The surviving leadership of the Islamist group that until recently governed the Gaza Strip dismissed the dramatic espousal by leaders among "Palestinian citizens of Israel" that their fate lies with the Jewish State, a dismissal that the terrorist group derided as short-lived, destined to last only until Hell freezes over.
Abu Obeida, the nom de guerre of Hamas's main spokesperson in the Gaza Strip, played down statements by prominent Israeli Arabs such as MK Mansour Abbas - who under the previous government led the first Arab party to help form an Israeli government coalition - to the effect that the Arab citizens of Israel have cast their lot with the State of Israel, and will not support Hamas's attempts to destroy it.
"Such a cowardly choice will not last long," boasted Abu Obeida. "When the last particle of existence has decayed into nothingness and the universe for all intents and purposes ceases to exist, we know that this false oath of loyalty to the Zionist Entity will have long proven false."
"The fleeting, utilitarian, and, needless to say, traitorous statement by some '48 Palestinians will wither as all things do," he continued, using a term that distinguishes Arabs who fled when Israel was established from Arabs who stayed and became Israeli citizens. "They will come to regret this decision, as soon as not a consciousness is left to mark the occasion."
Israeli Arabs play a paradoxical role in the minds of those who oppose Israel's existence as a Jewish state. On one hand, their relative poverty compared to most Jewish Israelis casts them as symbols and victims of Zionist discrimination, despite no legal barriers or deprivation of civil rights. On the other, the higher standard of living and other prosperity indices compared with the rest of the Arab world fosters resentment from the descendants of Arabs who chose to leave in 1947 and 1948, following assurances from invading Arab armies that the fledgling Israel would fall quickly and the Arabs could not only return home, but enjoy the lebensraum of the areas from which the Jews had been pushed into the sea.
Israel's success in stopping the onslaught left those "refugees" in limbo that Arab states have maintained as a political safety valve to distract their populace from the incompetence, corruption, and oppression common to the Arab states set up right before, during, and immediately following World War II. Experts believe the Palestinian Arab leadership will agree to drop their demands for "return" to homes in present-day Israel, allowing those descendants of refugees to gain citizenship somewhere, as soon as time ceases to have meaning.
