Thousands of Jordanians took to the streets on Friday demanding an end
to the country's 18-year-old Wadi Araba peace treaty with Israel.In a series of
nationwide protests, leftist and Islamist activists urged Amman to cut ties
with Israel, burning Israeli flags and chanting "death, death to
Israel" and "the people want an end to Wadi Araba."Jordanians

Protesters rallied in seven cities across the country, urging
authorities to expel the Israeli ambassador from Amman, chanting "no to a
Zionist embassy on our land."Protest organizers, including
the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood and youth movements, said the demonstrations
came as a direct response to King Abdullah's recent nomination of Prime
Minister Fayez Tarawneh, who served as a key figure in the 1994 Jordan-Israel
peace process.Various
political and social groups have expressed outrage over comments recently made
by Tarawneh indicating that, if given a second chance, he would still support
the controversial peace treaty."This is a person who obviously
does not respect the people's will and his words are proof of how out of touch
he is with average citizens," Jamil Abu Baker, a spokesman for the Muslim
Brotherhood, told dpa.Popular opinion in Jordan is that the
1994 Wadi Araba treat is a failure, with politicians and officials accusing
Israel of not respecting its obligations under the pact, particularly regarding
water sharing, Amman's custodianship over holy sites in Jerusalem, and access
to the Palestinian territories.Friday marked a departure from
activists' demands for democratic reforms, the focus of the vast majority of
the some 1,000 protests that have hit Jordan since the start of the so-called
Arab Spring uprisings that were triggered in late 2010.

T.Nazmi Writes On
Gaza Massacre
Amman , Feb. 4th. 2009
Not shocked by the Israeli invasion to Gaza , though I got desperate of
the Israeli writers whom I read and expected them to act, respond, or write
something to stop the massacre. I remained, throughout the period of war,
semi-silent, since I dedicated my day and nights to read, hear, and publish
others' writings and views as if I were an archive employee whose job was
restricted only to document the massacre for another generation to come and
study the whole circumstances of the event, historically and politically.
I said I was not shocked because the invasion was expected with Gaza
controlled by Hamas ( a religious faction created by the same regimes who were
working against it with the Bush administration). Hamas was only Muslim
Brothers who served to help the former Soviet Union collapse. They were and
still against the P.L.O. They were not banned in Jordan since the foundation of
the Hashmite Kingdom . They were and still funded by Saudi Arabia serving to
attack all left factions and parties especially any communist party in the
world. Their acts and beliefs do revive right wings in Israel . Even liberal
factions are, and were, attacked by them in the region. They are the heaven's
present to the Israeli religious basis on which it was established.
Hamas became a Palestinian national movement only after the first
Intifada in 1987.Its members want to gain both paradise in heaven and on earth
whatever will come out of the Palestinian National Liberation Project which was
served with blood by other Palestinian movements like Fateh and other left wing
minor factions.
Israelis were and still aware of these facts, acted to let Hamas come to
the surface and control Gaza . On the eve of the Israeli invasion a Palestinian
writer argued that Israel revived Hamas. Corruption in the PA helped Hamas to
win the elections in 2005. The Palestinians, getting desperate of the Oslo
accords after 12 years of elaborated prolonged talks without a real Israeli
intention to make peace, searched the untried Hamas (to give it a try )* in
2005.
Morally speaking, Israel is condemned of the act. Not only by a world
witnessing the massacre on the modern media of the 21 century but by the new
Israeli historians like Illan Pape , and by a philosopher like Noam Chomsky, or
by the sincere writer like Israel Shahak. Such names, not to mention others,
were not mentioned in the Arab media or in the Islamic media. I know exactly
why ? The regimes who created Hamas as an alternative to the P.L.O. did not expect
it to behave the way they did not like. The political changes in the middle
east helped Hamas to go the wrong way. The way that serves a military
leadership in Israel to compete before their elections without considering the
blood of the Gazans victims, mostly children , civilians, young and women. And
now you can hear some Israelis calling in Ha'aretz for negotiating Hamas as a
Palestinian negotiator forgetting 15 years of negotiating with Yaser Arafat and
Mahmoud Abbas. Not only Noam Chomsky says that Israel is not willing to make
peace, but Gary Sussman wrote four years before about the Jordan Option. The
same article that I translated into Arabic and somebody dared publishing in a
weekly limited distributed Jordanian paper resulting in banning our website
where the article is published in full beside Chomsky's views on both Iraq and
Palestine . Nazmi.org was classified as a political activist and banned in all
governmental computers in the democratic Jordan . Even , pro-Hamas media
consider us danger to their ideology though we are concerned mostly in fiction,
theatre and literature beside arts. Other Palestinian institutions are not
willing to pay one dollar for our activities if they are not hostile to us as
if we were hidden jews.
I was not shocked, nor motivated by the invasion but really sickened by
the size of deception on both sides. This is not the same Israel that we
imagined to lead the region to a new era. On the other hand we are suffering
from the same regimes who use Islam as a device to mislead its peoples and
double trick for their own benefits and interests. These regimes had to be
stopped to function as Israel allies and negotiators. They are rarely suit to
be real peace makers nor do they suit to be given a multiple try.

Re: T.Nazmi Writes On Gaza Massacre
"يقوم على هذا التحليل على أخطاء منطقية أولها أن حماس هي التي أحيت ما
يسميه صاحب التحليل باليمين الاسرائيلي، وثانيها أنها حركة تنتمي للإخوان المسلمين
المعادين للشيوعية وثالثها أنها مدعومة من دول عربية .. إلخ . كل هذا لاصلة له بوقائع الصراع على أرض فلسطين، ولا في الصراعات
الداخلية العربية، يسعى في النهاية لتبرير جريمة استعمار فلسطين. الأكثر سخفا
في هذا التحليل أن كاتبه كان ينتظر من إسرائيل أن تقود المنطقة لاأن ترتكب هذه الجرائم
.تنتمي نغمة هذا التحليل إلى عصر المعارك الدموية بين الاتجاهات الاسلامية والقومية
واليسارية التي حطمت المنطقة العربية طيلة الخمسين عاما الماضية ، حين كانت هذه الحركات
تخوض حرب إبادة وإفناء ضد بعضها البعض. إلى عقلية الإقصاء والإبعاد للآخر في الحلبة
السياسية والاستبداد بذرائع الإختلاف. أما آن لاصحاب هذه التحليلات أن يؤمنوا أن الإختلاف
بين الاتجاهات الاسلامية والقومية واليسارية لايجب أن يصل إلى حروب الإفناء؟ أن يعرفوا
أن جوهر الصراع هو ضد احتلال استعماري بدأ في العام 1917 وليس بهذه الأرقام السحرية
ن 30 سنة أو 40 سنة أو 15 سنة؟ وإن ما يتواجه في هذا الصراع تحالف غربي استعماري حطم
امكانيات الوطن العربي على الرد على الغزو والتتبيع والإضعاف والقوى المحلية بمختلف
ألوانها؟ لهذا الصراع تاريخ طويل ، ولكن أدواته ما زالت هي ذاتها : الحصار والغزو والتجزئة والتتبيع أي ( التطبيع) بلغة الصحافة، والرد الاستراتيجي
هو بالضبط في كسر الحصار والمقاومة والتحرير. في هذا الصراع ليس المهم لون ودين واتجاه
من يقاوم ، بل موقفه من هذا الغرب المتوحش ، الغرب المتمدد ، هل يقاوم أم يستسلم.يعنيني
موقف الحركة والأفراد ولا تهمني الأقوال . فماذا يعني أن يكون الأنسان شيوعيا أو يساريا
وأنا أراه يبصبص وراء أموال السفارات الغربية؟ وماذا يعني أن أراه يمد لحيته ويتمسح
بأذيال المستعمرين الصهاينة؟ أو يمنح نفسه صفة القومي وهو يتمرغ في وحل التبعية لعصابات
المخابرات االأمريكية؟ المعيار هو من يعي طبيعة الصراع ويحتل مكانه في مواجهة هذا الاستعمار
الغربي بوجوه ممثليه من صهاينة وأتباع صغار اختلفت الوانهم ولكنهم جوقة كلاب في عربات
واحدة هي عربة المستعمرين الغربيين."

You will not care if another writer
differs with your point of view, objectively, and honestly. He would have got a
point and that is it. We do not write in order to dictate our points, but to
communicate and argue. So when any honest writer writes, his point leads his
language if not his culture or even multiculture. But to meet an old friend,
whose language is still leading his ideas and points, if really there is a
point, is a hurting issue to both your culture and your friendship.
Mr. Writer of the first comment on our
essay " T. Nazmi Writes On Gaza Massacre" had already chosen Arabic
to write his comment on an essay written in English. This choice by him leads
to a Palestinian scandal this time and not a Jordanian one as I had been used
to face. Our mentioned article was addressing a great majority of Arabs and
none Arabs, since it was dealing with multicultural topic, like Gaza Massacre,
on which many writers wrote all over the world including Thomas Friedman. Mr.
Writer did not give an honest background to the reader of his comment in Arabic
and ignored names like Noam Chomsky, Illan Pape, Israel Shahak, and Gary
Sussman. On whose efforts our article is based, or interacting and co-operating
with the results they had reached. One may ask WHY this happens? The answer
will be very shameful to an old friend and to us, since we are both
Palestinians.
To let the reader be aware, Mr. Writer
did not name the author by name, though he knows that he is me ( An old friend
) then went on classifying me as an anti-Hamas while I was defending the
Palestinian National Liberation Project and the history of the sole legitimate
representative of the Palestinians (P.L.O.(.
Moreover ha did not mention any Arab
regime I dared to name from Amman . Mr. Writer lives in Kuwait and he has the
full time and the luxurious means of underlining the so called mistakes of
logic in our article. He resorted to rhetoric but with a sense of impolite
words that no stupid writer uses in a public website like Facebook.
Mr. Writer thinks that he is the only writer that reads in English, but
well qualified to respond in Arabic.
Mr. Mohammed forgot that his friend belongs to another way of thinking
and another political and cultural trend. He distorted our article and his
image by himself in his first participation in our community of friends who
some of them had not the time to be online nor can afford that 21st. century
means of struggle. I hope he is not sick to write what he had committed, and
commented.
Get well soon Mr. Writer since we have lots of Walter Mitty's papers and
big mouthed speakers in Arabia .
