“The Palestinian national movement has remained unchanged, throughout the different periods of the struggle, whether under the leadership of Hajj Amin al-Husayni or his successor, Yasser Arafat,” says Benny Morris with near-palpable disgust.
“It did not even change during the years of the Oslo process.
In the end, both sides of the Palestinian movement—the fundamentalists led by Hamas and the secular bloc led by Fatah—are interested in Muslim rule over all of Palestine, with no Jewish state and no partition.”
