Failures of the Road Map
The Quest for Peace in the Middle East Another Peace Process has failed in the endless conquest to find a way to bring peace to the Palestinians and Israelis. It is not surprising. Anyone who read the Road Map proposed by the Bush administration understood that it was not forthcoming, nor was unbiased, and inclusive enough to bring peace to the region. The Road Map, as any other past ventures into peace, has failed to bring all parties involved in the conflict to negotiating table. They have been one sided and uncompromising. Apparently, the Bush administration and the Israeli government thought that removing Arafat, declaring him irrelevant, would somehow produce a prime minister ready to crack down on Palestinians guerrillas and practically become the security force for the Israelis without any concessions that directly and promptly improved the daily lives of Palestinians. As expected, Abbas has not been what the Administration and the Israeli hoped for. The truth is that no prime minister or authority will risk as civil war trying to demilitarize Hamas or any other military faction conducting violent operations against the Israeli. This is the only leverage they have and even with this l
Hamas might attack innocent Israelis, this is a horrible tragedy, but one must take into account that this is the only way and means they have against a powerful force as the Israelis are. This is a tragic precedent and situation. If not, they will continue being what they are, a wild card with the power to obstruct the peace anytime it wants. Like at boxing fight on which we speculate and make bets from outside the ring. Israel does not want to stop the occupation of Palestine and Hamas wants the destructions of Israel. Hamas and the rest of the military factions involved in the conflict have been given the power to manipulate the peace negotiations. The lack of this hope and inclusiveness is the third mistake of the Road Map. Hamas is the military wing of the political organization that bears the same name in Palestine. They must bring Hamas and the rest of militants factions to the negotiating table side-by-side Arafat, Abbas, and the Israelis. Certainly, from whatever point of view the issues are contemplated, this is not a cease-fire. Labeling Hamas a terrorist organization because is more advantageous to the Israelis will not solve the problem. This logic has dismissed them for the worst. This suggests that the Palestinian Israelis war should be resolved globally within all of us. The Israeli government should be more forthcoming, limiting their operations that inflict all kinds of huddles and pain in Palestinian daily lives and perhaps immediately in good faith start to rebuild it through relief organizations. The time has come for the faithfully restructuring of the Road Map.
