In the West and in Israel they do not listen to the Arabs!

Why do we always think we know better than the Palestinians? What do they really mean?

We and the rest of the West like to tell ourselves stories about what the Palestinians really mean. An excellent example of this is the statement: "Hamas does not represent the Palestinians", which was often said by Israel even though the Palestinians know very well who represents them.

Westplannig is when Western journalists and diplomats explain what the Palestinians really mean, even though they said it well. In a video released by the coordinator of the government's operations in the Territories, Major General Rasan Aliyan, called Ismail Haniyeh a "liar" for saying that the organization "Hamas is the people." So who is right?

Fighters who were in Gaza saw with their own eyes what Ismail Haniyeh was talking about. "You come to the family, the terrorists are inside the house - and they are not related to the family," said Lt. Col. Omer Cohen, commander of the commando brigade. In practice, Gazans, even after 120 days of fighting, are still in favor of Niyya. "My house and my children are gone - so that in the end I will oppose Hamas?" said a resident of Gaza this month
