An Arab boycott of Palestine
The League’s boycott has facilitated the occupation’s task of prohibiting dealing with Palestinians. More Jews than Arabs have visited Jerusalem and its mosques and churches, as Arab governments prohibit their citizens from visiting them.
Palestinians no longer have any hope in a political or military solution. Time and Arabs’ attitudes toward the Palestinian cause have proven that it is merely a soccer ball they play to serve their own interests.
It is prohibited to buy from the Palestinians, to sell to them, to visit them, to host them, to pray in their mosques or to play football with them. The Arab League must be blind and deaf not to distinguish between the victim and the executioner, between the occupier and the occupied. It is time to reconsider the concept and policy on how to deal with Palestine and Israel.
This political absurdity established by naive Arab politicians — who half a century ago thought the Israelis would pack their bags and return to New York, Saint Petersburg and London — must end. Millions of Palestinians pay the price every day as they continue to be besieged by both Arabs and Israelis.
