we don't need no education

Hamas cuts a deal with the Egyptian government and they put up the barrier again dividing the Gaza Strip.That’s positive in the sense that a compromise had to be worked out with Hamas,in defiance of Israel and the US,but it cuts against the autonomous mass movement of the Palestinian people.I doubt whether the majority of the Palestinians want that wall back up again.I also doubt whether they’ll put up with the Hamas decision although that remains to be seen.
The way forward for the Palestinians is to link up with the mass movement in Egypt that came out in support of the Palestinians when the Gaza Strip wall was punched through.
It was the mass demonstrations of workers and students organized by a coalition of the Muslim Brotherhood and Socialist Alliance that that stopped the Egyptian dictator Mubarak from calling out the army.
This form of mass movement is the social force that has the potential to overthrow the present corrupt regimes in the middle East and create a humane alternative.
While saying this I understand that this sounds abstract or naïve or like antiquated rhetoric to most of my correspondents.
But I’ve experienced and remember well the last time the masses rose up world wide and shocked the shit out of all the experts and pundits who based their analysis on the assumption that change only comes from the top.
And the punching through of the Gaza Strip wall into Egypt by the Palestinian people,starved out of food and fuel,has the feeling of those first inarticulated riots of the early 60’s here in Quebec.
Soon we could be seeing the organized expression of that inarticulated rage and it’ll be far to the left of Hamas
