Gambia: A Changing World Is the Gambian Leadership Taking Note?

editorial

The era of the cold war is about to come to an end. The era based on a global consensus is about to begin. The Palestinians initiative to create a united front and pursue their struggle for nationhood on the basis of popular democratic resistance rather than an armed insurrection is achieving dividend as the Parliament of many countries give their recognition of Palestinian nationhood, including a continental parliament like the European Parliament. The Pan African Parliament should not be left behind. The attempt to remove Hamas from the list of terrorist organisations should motivate the organisation to adopt democratic and Republican values which makes every Palestinian a sovereign citizen of Palestine who could assume any office regardless of gender, religion or other identities. The Palestinian struggle for nationhood would gain an accelerated power of motion if the united front learns from the most democratic constitutions of the world and promulgate a Republican constitution which would make Palestine the most democratic country in the Middle East.

This is the only way Palestine would win the heart of the world and embolden the democratic forces in Israel which are now dormant because of not knowing what to expect from the forces of resistance in Palestine. Consequently, the forces of national and racial chauvinism in Israel are posing to be the real protectors of the Israeli people from a potential holocaust of Arab origin. They have gone to the point of cultivating narrow nationalism by declaring Israel a Jewish state. Hence it has joined the rank of those states where one's identity determines one's status. It is this type of ideology which leads to hatred of others and ethnic cleansing.
