Chapter 5: Two calendars (Gregorian & Hijri) (17)
131 Tragedy of blowing steam off and tit for tat (3/4)
It was the Palestinians in the occupied territory of
Israel or refugees living in Jordan that welcomed Iraqi missile attacks against
Israel. Whenever leaders in Arab countries addressed to the people, they used
to say that Israel should be exerted into the Mediterranean. But there was no
leader who took real action except Hussein of Iraq. It was natural for
Palestinians to be obsessed by the illusion that Hussein might truly realize
their dreams. They shouted their support for Hussein loudly and blew steam off.
Palestinians abroad shouted pleasantly in their
hearts even though they could not vocalize. It was the Palestinians who came to
Kuwait looking for jobs. They obeyed to Kuwaitis like slaves. Kuwaitis were
just lazy and arrogant. When the Iraqi army invaded to Kuwait, Kuwaitis escaped
into Saudi Arabia in flurry, Palestinians mocked them and felt
self-satisfaction. And when Iraq attacked Israel by missile but Israel could
not fight back by the objection of the United States, Palestinians expected
that Hussein would regain their homeland.
