dir=\"LTR\">By Sam Bahour<\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\">The barbaric Israeli aggression on our people, land and economy has been<br \/>\nclearly met by the same historic steadfastness that has come to identify our<br \/>\nplight during the last 50+ years.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp;<br \/>\n<\/span>However, our determination today must be more sophisticated than that of<br \/>\nAl-Karameh in 1968, Beirut in 1982, or the 1987 Intifada.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>Today, our efforts must consider the broader<br \/>\npicture and should not only confront Israeli tanks, gunships, assassinations,<br \/>\nclosures, etc.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>With the same fervor,<br \/>\nthese same efforts must also view the latest Israeli aggression as a hiccup in<br \/>\nour national development.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>It is<br \/>\nimperative to our national survival that we learn the lessons from the interim<br \/>\nphase of Oslo and readdress the weaknesses of our state building experience of<br \/>\nthe past 8 years.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>If the Oslo Peace<br \/>\nAccords have given us anything, it is a taste of the paramount task ahead of us<br \/>\nin rebuilding Palestine from the ruins of Israeli Occupation.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\">Constructive state-building in the midst of an Intifada is no trivial<br \/>\nfeat.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>The mindset and focus to look<br \/>\nbeyond the catastrophic damage being done to every aspect of our society should<br \/>\nnot only be an option, but also a duty that each citizen, official and leader<br \/>\nshould assume.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>In this spirit, I would<br \/>\nlike to challenge a prevalent theme being repeated in every sector of our<br \/>\nsociety.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\">&#8220;Better than Nothing&#8221;, is a seemingly innocent phrase that is<br \/>\nbeing repeated over and over again in an effort to excuse what would be<br \/>\nconsidered by any other means sub-standard output to the utilization of scarce<br \/>\nresources including finances, time and human resources.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>A case in point is our national development<br \/>\ndialogue.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>Today, the issue of our mere<br \/>\nsurvival is being accepted as our sole guiding light.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>In other words, what little strategic<br \/>\nnational infrastructure and institutional development that has crystallized to<br \/>\ndate is &#8220;Better than Nothing,&#8221; or so we are told.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>If one ventures to question specific cases,<br \/>\nwhether the inquiry is about the same street being dug for the third time or<br \/>\nquestions the repeated strategic mistakes in dealing with building viable<br \/>\neconomic sectors, the answer, time and again, is, what you see is &#8220;Better<br \/>\nthan Nothing.&#8221;<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>Are we incapable of<br \/>\ndoing what we are doing right the first time so it will not need to be redone<br \/>\nin the near future?<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>Is it acceptable<br \/>\nthat we face our shortcomings with the calm, even culturally sounding,<br \/>\n&#8220;Better than Nothing?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\">&nbsp;I despise the &#8220;Better than Nothing&#8221; slogan!<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>Our acceptance of this &#8220;Better than<br \/>\nNothing&#8221; attitude conveys the false belief that as long as we are<br \/>\nbreathing we are on the path to statehood.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp;<br \/>\n<\/span>Worse yet, at the same time we are accepting this weak argument,<em><\/em><span color=\"windowtext\">we are also<br \/>\ndemanding our natural<\/span> right among the nations of the world.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>We want our plight as a country and a people<br \/>\nto be articulated to the world in the most effective way.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>Among other things, we yearn for a free<br \/>\nmarket economy, world-class health care, modern infrastructure, and we expect<br \/>\nthe best education for our children.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp;<br \/>\n<\/span>Despite all of our efforts, our demands continue to be thwarted.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; <\/span>The rule of law, a sound judiciary, institution<br \/>\nbuilding, democracy, transparency, accountability, regulation, and other<br \/>\nrelated principles, continue to find new and creative excuses for not truly<br \/>\nbeing at the forefront of our social, political and economic agendas.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\">If we are serious about living a better tomorrow and witnessing a more<br \/>\nproductive today, even under the current situation, then we must approach each<br \/>\nand every one of our efforts with an urgency that will not allow us to settle<br \/>\nfor less than the greatest possible outcome.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp;<br \/>\n<\/span>If an undertaking does <span color=\"windowtext\">not produce its<br \/>\nexpected value, then, it is money, time, thought, and today even human life<br \/>\nwasted and, most often, best not spent.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp;<br \/>\n<\/span>Acting, for the mere sake of going through the motions, is a<br \/>\nprescription for Palestine to remain locked in a fatal domain of apathy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\"><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\">Israeli public opinion, fueled by a war mongering Israeli government,<br \/>\nare rushing to join the &#8220;Better than Nothing&#8221; chorus in depicting<br \/>\nwhat our 50+ years of national sacrifice and struggle has achieved, thus far,<br \/>\nas a sufficient reward for our efforts.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp;<br \/>\n<\/span>Let&#8217;s not give them the option.<\/p>\n<p
