Difference between Lebanon and Palestine
Of course, the Hariri camp in Lebanon has also betrayed the victims of the Israeli war on Lebanon in 2006 and has acted in the service of the Israeli occupation. But the difference between Lebanon and Palestine is this: in Lebanon, the Hariri camp has succeeded in deflating and marginalizing any criticisms by basically playing the sectarian game. They simply say that they are attacking us because we are Sunnis, and they are Shi`ite agents of Iran. (This is how Sanyurah weathered the storm during the siege of Sareil in downtown Beirut). The fact that Hizbulallah is sectarian in ideology and composition, made the sectarian ploy of the Saudi camp in Lebanon easier. They can't play that in Palestine. In fact, when Dahlan was in Gaza (before he and his followers were kicked out in their underwear), his rallies would always feature chants of "Shi`ites" against Hamas, but...they are not Shi`ites so that did not stick. There is no method or ploy that is too dirty or too crude or too low for that Arab Saudi-led collaborationist camp.
