Undermining the Palestinian Movement
July 21st, 2008 by Adam
Omran Risheq at the Daily Star writes an interesting piece about how disillusionment with the Palestinian national movement and chances for a peaceful resolution to the Israel-Palestine conflict have bolstered the political fortunes of Hizb al-Tahrir al-Islami, a Salafist movement seeking restoration of the Caliphate. The party rejects modern conceptions of human rights and democracy, and has gained credibility with Palestinians as the lack progress on peace has undermined other groups’ ability to claim they can end the occupation.
