The recent recognitions of a Palestinian state and the October 10 ceasefire have been followed by a flurry of calls to “deradicalize” Palestinian society. The New York Times editorial board went so far as to compare this deradicalization project to the denazification of Germany after the Second World War. These calls have the situation backwards to the point of farce.

    Marwan Barghouti is a member of Fatah.

    The JCPA that you cite is a conservative Israeli think tank…

    Edit: You changed the citation.

    Sure Abbas doesn’t want him out, but Fatah is not Abbas and Abbas is not Fatah. Fatah is a mass organization.

      Barghouti is one of the few good people left in Fatah and the PA refuse to release him. Fatah abandoned him . I also updated my link with a pro Palestine source instead. The JCPA still a proof that Israel use the PA while insulting it at the same time . Collaborators like Abass are not respected neither by Palestinians and neither by Israeli

        I think we are not too divergent in our preferences here. We both support Barghouti. Abbas is a 90 year old mummy, one foot in the grave. Not that relevant much longer.

          We both support Barghouti

          And Fatah do not support his release while Hamas does

          Abbas is a 90 year old mummy, one foot in the grave. Not that relevant much longer.

          He is going to be either replaced by another Puppet or Israel may decide to officially annexing the West Bank and dissolving the Palestinian Authority altogether
