Americans can't be trusted!

The summary of the title, which was reached by the late Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, after a thirty-year rule, and which was mentioned by the late writer Mohamed Hassanein Heikal in his book, “Mubarak and His Era... From the Platform to the Field,” is the summary of someone who lived through the fluctuations of American politics and was one of its victims.


This conclusion has clear evidence in different eras of ancient and modern history. In short memory, the incident of the white coup in the White House against Ukraine appears, which was interspersed with words that resembled punches, and was tainted with roughness that almost reached the point of raising a hand to the Ukrainian leader.


In the average memory, what Iraq witnessed of destruction, in the name of freedom, democracy, reconstruction and stability, the dismantling of the Iraqi army was a recipe for the cultivation of militias, and bringing them from their distant dens, to work on dividing the country and its people, by inciting strife between races and ethnicities, just as it is trying to replicate in Syria these days.


In Beirut in 1982, after eighty days of resistance, Philip Habib intervened to negotiate with Abu Ammar to leave or be destroyed, while Sharon was standing with his tank columns on the outskirts of the destroyed capital.


Philip Habib returns today in the form of "Adam Boehler", to bargain with "Hamas" to leave and surrender the weapon or go to hell, but the difference today is that Gaza is not Beirut, in which the immortal martyr said his immortal words: "If Beirut were a Palestinian city, I would not have left it."

Hamas's loss is not only a loss for it, but it is a loss for the entire cause, and no one should take the issue as a matter of political spite or factional bickering. What happened in Sabra and Shatila after the resistance withdrew, something similar and more could happen if the experience is repeated, God forbid.


The great sacrifices should not go unaccounted for in the general national account, and it is still possible to compensate for the deficiency and make up for the missed opportunity to thwart the plans drawn up for the issue, from which no one will be safe after Trump’s appetite for swallowing the land and displacing its owners has opened.


The question of the fate of the cause and its people is what should be at the forefront of the dialogue that has been interrupted between the parties. Hesitation is of no use, nor is managing politics piecemeal or with crosswords. Absorbing Hamas within the framework of the organization and immediately going to elections is the safest option capable of providing a lifeline, so that history does not repeat itself, this time as a farce, as Karl Marx said.


There is something in history called the critical moment; yesterday is early, tomorrow is late.
