Here We Dug, Here We Buried
A satirical opinion article criticizes the postponement of Palestinian legislative elections, accusing the leadership of ignoring the will of the people and using dialogue as a cover for predetermined decisions. It notes that President Mahmoud Abbas set November as the election date, then moved it to September 2027 without consultation, and that the people are the source of authority but do not hold the key.
A satirical opinion article criticizes the postponement of Palestinian legislative elections, accusing the leadership of ignoring the will of the people and using dialogue as a cover for predetermined decisions. It notes that President Mahmoud Abbas set November as the election date, then moved it to September 2027 without consultation, and that the people are the source of authority but do not hold the key. The article criticizes the repeated postponement tactics, describing them as a faded trick that the public now sees through. It raises questions about the absence of real obstacles (occupation, division, destruction) when the first date was set, and what guarantees their removal by September. The article concludes with a sarcastic phrase: "Here we dug, here we buried. And if the citizen asks what was buried, he is told: your vote."
