Palestinian unity forged in resistance

The 50 day war in Gaza has restored the concept of military resistance as a route to Palestinian unity as Hamas have fought their way back into relevance
Compare the statements Netanyahu and the IDF made at the start of his war on Gaza to the silence, thus far, about what they have achieved. The tunnels still exist. Hamas has not been demilitarised or defanged. Their rockets kept firing up to the last moment. There is not one word in the agreement about Israel’s security needs. Indeed according to Moussa Abu Marzouk, the deputy chairman of Hamas’ political bureau, Israel committed itself to stop assassinating resistance leaders. All border crossings between Israel and Gaza are to be opened.http://www.middleeasteye.net/columns/palestinian-unity-forged-resistance-45928366
