Readers are eagerly looking forward to see what Uri Avnery's analysis on the outcome of the UN voting on Nov. 29 is going to be. The instant jubilation, which followed the Palestinians' massive victory in the world body celebrated world over. Only the US and Israel with USA's seven satellite countries voted against the motion to grant recognition to Palestinian state.
In an article prior to the voting, I read in the British daily The Independent, by the renowned journalist, Robert Fisk, about the legendary Uri Avnery, where he says that the famed writer Avnery is one of the great old warriors of Israel, still demanding peace with the Palestinians, peace with Hamas and a Palestinian state on the old 1967 borders — give or take a few square miles. According to Fisk, he still believes Israel could have peace tomorrow or next week if Netanyahu wanted it. “The misfortune of being an incorrigible optimist,” is how he describes his predicament. Or perhaps an illusionist?
Let us wait and see what Uri got to say about Nov. 29, one of the historic days for the oppressed Palestinians who are fighting for a state of their own, in their own land! — S.H. Moulana, Riyadh
