The official ceremony of taking the oath of the new Palestinian government is too majestic and too pompous, especially when Palestine remain under occupation. And the speech by Isma`il Haniyyah was more foolish than usual. He called on the US to "reconsider" its policy of double standards, as if US policy in the Middle East is a lapse, or a mere error in judgment. I call on Mustafa Barthuti to leave that cabinet NOW.
