SHOCKING PARALLELS.
There are a shocking parallels that we find in Gaza and North Wiziristan. Both Taliban and Hammas in North Wiziristan and Gaza respectively do not accept the writ of their respective states, have established states within their states from where they attack their own people and the neighboring states. We have seen videos depicting Taliban cutting throats and playing football with heads and the operatives of Hammas dragging the dead bodies alongside roads to exhibit a show of barbarism.
What our armed forces are doing against Taliban in our tribal areas need to undertaken by the West bank Palestinian authority against Hammas in Gaza. But unlike pakistani armed forces, this authority does not have power enough to suppress this insurgency and cleanse the area of terror outfits. This is why Israel has to undertake this unpleasant job of conducting an effective operation against the terror of Hammas in the absence of an effective force of Palestinian authority under Mahmoud unlike Pakistan in North Wiziristan.
Six days war proved catastrophe for the the Palestinian people and ended in the occupation and later annexation of territories like Golan Hights under Syria, Sinai peninsula and Gaza under Egypt and West bank and East Jerusalem under Jorden. Sinai peninsula was returned to Egypt under an agreement by the gracious act of Israel in a course of time.
Since 2006 we find no elections taking place in Gaza and the West bank. After being elected to the legislative council, the prime minister of Hammas refused to renounce violence, honor the past agreements and vowed to destroy Israel and did not accept it. As a result the chairman of the authority using his powers dismissed the government of Ismael Hanyea and appointed Salam fayyad a new prime minister in the aftermath of violent clashes occuring between the forces of authority and Hammas. Since then Hammas has illegally occupied Gaza and continues to challenge the writ of the Palestinian authority which enjoys sole recognition of the world and UNO. It is like Taliban gets control over a certain piece of land in our tribal areas for a time being without being recognized the world and some misguided elements start calling their illegal occupation as legitimate government. Shocking.
Over a period of time, after suffering more than 60000 casualties, Pakistan has learnt this bitter lesson that non state actors should never be used as an instrument of foreign policy to move forward the state agenda for it always backfires. When will the people of Palestine come to learn the same lesson?
