HAMAS AND FATAH.. FAIL AGAIN... BIG SURPRISE!!!

Well, or at least the eighth time that I can remember, the so-called reconciliation of Hamas and Fatah is come to a grinding halt!

Now, quite frankly, is anyone really surprised?

I wouldn't go as far as saying these reconciliation talks are a joke, but I would say they're getting close.

A year ago, the potential glue to make this bond take place was the new government in Egypt.

It's very apparent now the new government in Egypt has far greater issues at hand!

Obviously the "grand plan of the Muslim brotherhood" is in serious trouble, at least in side of the mothership........... Egypt!

As I stated before, some of us realize what the real issue is between Hamas and Fatah; power and prestige.

From the standpoint of Hamas, giving up the lucrative business of the tunnel operations in Gaza is simply a bridge too far, even in the name of "reunification".

So what now?

How long before the next great announcement of a significant meeting between the two parties once again forecasting the great merger?

One thing is for sure, the Muslim brotherhood in Egypt is far too occupied to continue any further proactive planning for the Palestinian movement.

On the surface, a lack of unification could be interpreted is music to the ears of the Israelis and others.

As I stated two nights ago, I'm not sure the consistent failure of Hamas and Fatah is going to lead to "business as usual"!

The radical elements within the Gaza Strip and now even parts of the West Bank could easily see this failure of unification as their Golden opportunity to try and further the Palestinian cause their way!

So before everyone begins to cheer become optimistic over this stalemate between the two Palestinian movements, we need to consider what the alternative might be.

If the egos that run these two groups actually seem to be the stumbling points, and the Palestinian people may need to take action against both leaders.

Perhaps the Palestinian people should call for an election soon were both these parties and their leaders are cast aside.

If that sounds unrealistic, I would caution you not to underestimate the frustration and the determination of many young Palestinians.

What we are witnessing today in Cairo is the youth movement of Egypt, who were overrun by the Muslim brotherhood, beginning to get their feet underneath them and place true demands on their current government.

Don't believe for a minute that this mindset cannot become contagious to those in the Palestinian community who are tired of the interactions of Hamas and Fatah.
