Mudar Zahran: I think Egypt must take responsibility for Gaza.  Egypt must take responsibility for Gaza the same way Jordan must recognize its responsibilities towards the Palestinians.  And I do see Egypt intervening to booth protect and save Gazans as well as provide to them.

BackChannels: To protect them from Hamas or from Israel?  Our small world should not want to continue the Hamas-style Islamist enterprise and the anti-Semitic cant that forms a part of its character. That way of speaking — to demonize and slander the Jews (above all) — is in part everyone’s enemy.

From correspondence with Mudar Zahran, Jordanian Palestinian and peace activist, July 27, 2014

The HamaNazi part of the Islamic Botherhood goes.

Gazans — refugees proven unwanted by and not actively integrated into the rest of the Arab world — decidedly stay.

A new culture is born.

Occupation: yes — a real one, not a phony baloney political slogan.

Occupiers: Egyptian and Israeli military.

Transition: from God Mob mafia state to responsible and responsive local governance with foreign policy overseen by an Egyptian-Israeli-Gaza partnership.

Guaranteed: Gazan freedom and self-determination; real respect in the world.
