What Europe and Kufi Anan are not saying to PWednesday 10 Apr 2002
author: Abu Abudlsamee'a
Europe has not encourged the Palistinians to resist violence of occupation by non-violent means.No Palistinians have been trianed in the last years by European UNIVERSITIES to lead a peacful revolution.The result is that uninteionly and undirectly the Europeans are saying do nothing or give up your arms.The child who sleep near the doorway needs to hear that someday he will be able like the Israeli child to have his toys in his room or atleast a decent sleep,if he resist peacfuly.Nonviolence is not only convient for the vast majority but also practical.A peacful movement has been uprooted and unfortuntly the Europeans remained silent.I do not understand it.Nonviolence as Martin King stated is active,not passive.It is not for Cowards as many belive.It builds rather than destroy and why the Europeans who are helping the Palistinians have not sponsored it yet.Israelis should recieve nonviolence with encouragement simply a nonviolent approach is inherently not to conquer and dominat.None of the European nonviolent programs exist for the Palistinians.6,000,000whys.When wards for Palistinian support come from the European people Palistinians get vey happy.But when European leaders talk and talk and talk with no action they disappiont the people.European leaders must be honest with them selves.They have done nothing.The European leaders should criticize both parties constuctively.They have not done so for most times.The Europeans urged for the protection of Mr Yasser Arafat but done nothing in assisting for a peacful leadership.European leaders can influence some the press that talk to Palistinians.They have done nothing.They can have Arab and Hebrew press and talk to both Israeli and Palistinians.They have done nothing and the BBC some programs in Arabic are inciting just like some Arab press.Interpersonal communiction is lacking.No contacts with Palistinian leaders.Evey day the press report about several contacts between Araft and European leaders.None with regular leaders.The Euriopeans are not talking on the distruction of Palistinian society and institutions in a language scientific.Thier statements are political narrow focues and serve little toward peace if not opposite.If the Europeans cannot do the right thing who will do it?Again the porpose here is not to defeat the so called Israeli propaganda lead today by geneous and experienced people like Mr Netanyahu but to be constuctive critisism.This is in line with European civilization and not imosible mission.And by Europeans I mean official leaders.
