كيف تحوّلت غزة ذلك الشريط الساحلي الضيّق لتكون مفتاح الحل ومفتاح الحروب والأزمات في المنطقة؟! سؤال، لا يجيب عنه إلا سؤال أسبق منه، كيف حوّل بعض المستفيدين، القضية الفلسطينية من قضية شعب، إلى أداة سياسية للتكسّب السياسي والمالي وبيع المواقف؟! فخلال أكثر من ثمانين عاماً، كانت قضية الفلسطينيين هي الأكثر تفضيلاً لدى المزايدين والمتكسّبين، وعند تصفية الحسابات، لقد كانت بندقية في أيدي بعض اللصوص أهدروا بها الدماء، وقوّضوا بها مستقبل العالم العربي دون أن يفيدوا الشعب الفلسطيني بشيء.
فإذا أردت استهداف دول الخليج -على سبيل المثال- ما عليك إلا أن تخرج في خطاب شعبوي تزعم فيه دعمك لفلسطين، ثم تتهم الخليجيين بالتخاذل على طريق تحرير فلسطين، يا لها من معادلة بسيطة وكثيرة التكسب، الخسارة فيها بضع بطاريات لإذاعتك، وحبر وأوراق يكتبها هيكل، أو عفلق، أو غسان كنفاني.
ما حصل أنه وخلال العقود الثمانية الماضية، تقلّصت فلسطين التي دافعوا عنها عبر الإذاعات حتى انتهت في غزة؛ بسبب سوق السياسة الذي باع واشترى فيه بعض العرب، سياسيين ومثقفين وحتى الشعوب التي صفت أحلامها وحسدها وبغضها وأمنياتها ومزايداتها في سوق فلسطين، بل حتى الغربيون استفادوا من تلك القضية وباعوا واشتروا فيها، حتى انتهت فلسطين إلى مربع أمنى في رفح.
مربع هو في حقيقته، مصنع للدماء في نهايته خط إنتاج للمال، وخط إنتاج للمزايدات، وآخر للمكاسب السياسية.
لكن ماذا إذا صحونا غداً على انتهاء معارك وغزوات، «قطاع غزة،» على أي مشهد سنصحو؟! على مشروع سلام؟ أم مشروع حرب أخرى؟ أم مشروع اقتصادي يهضم السياسة ويجمّدها لوقت لاحق؟
هل سيتخلى حينها المتكسبون والمزايدون ومصاصو الدماء عن «كنز غزة»؟؟
لا أظن ذاك فمن يستعيد ذاكرة بيروت التي قوّضت وانتهكت من الخمسينات حتى اليوم، يستطيع أن يرى غزة بوضوح.
ففي الستينات والسبعينات كانت بعض الأنظمة الثورية في العالم العربي في حاجة لعاصمة عربية تصفّي كل منها خلافاتها فيها، لتكون بيروت خياراً جيداً لهم، ففجروا قنابلهم في شوارعها، وتحاربوا في أحيائها مباشرة أو بالنيابة عبر المقاولين، بل حتى أجهزة المخابرات الغربية استفادت من تلك المدينة الواقعة في وسط خطوط التماس الدولية، واستخدمت بيروت مقراً لأعمالها وتبادل المعلومات واللقاءات وتجنيد العملاء، كانت مدينة بلا رقابة، وكأن الماغوط بلهجته السورية الجميلة يصفها: (مدينة كل من ايده إله).
اليوم تبدو غزة بديلاً مريحاً لورثة تلك القوى والتنظيمات والعصابات، لكن تحتاج غزة إلى خلطة مثيرة، من قوى متصارعة وخط أخضر يفصل بين المتقاتلين، ومقاهٍ جيدة يلتقي فيها الجواسيس، وترتب فيها العلاقات المعقدة، بمعنى آخر مدينة تعمّر من جديد وتفتح للجميع ليستفيد منها البعض من ورثة «نصرالله، جورج حبش، هنية، وعفلق، وهيكل، وكنفاني».

How did Gaza, that narrow coastal strip, become the key to solutions and the key to wars and crises in the region?! A question that can only be answered by a prior question: how did some beneficiaries turn the Palestinian cause from a people's issue into a political tool for political and financial gain and selling positions?! For more than eighty years, the Palestinian issue has been the most favored by opportunists and exploiters, and when it comes to settling accounts, it has been a weapon in the hands of some thieves who wasted blood and undermined the future of the Arab world without benefiting the Palestinian people at all.
If you want to target the Gulf states - for example - all you have to do is deliver a populist speech claiming your support for Palestine, then accuse the Gulf states of complacency on the road to liberating Palestine. What a simple equation that brings in so much profit, where the loss is just a few batteries for your broadcast, and ink and paper written by Haykal, or Aflaq, or Ghassan Kanafani.
What happened is that over the past eight decades, the Palestine they defended through broadcasts has shrunk until it ended in Gaza; due to the political market where some Arabs, politicians, intellectuals, and even the peoples who have aligned their dreams, envy, hatred, wishes, and opportunism in the Palestine market, have bought and sold. Even the Westerners benefited from that cause and traded in it, until Palestine ended up as a security square in Rafah.
This square is, in reality, a factory for blood, with an end line for money, a production line for bidding, and another for political gains.
But what if we wake up tomorrow to the end of battles and invasions in "Gaza Strip," what scene will we wake up to?! A peace project? Or another war project? Or an economic project that digests politics and freezes it for a later time?
Will the opportunists, bidders, and bloodsuckers then abandon the "treasure of Gaza"??
I don’t think so. Those who can recall the memory of Beirut, which has been undermined and violated from the fifties until today, can see Gaza clearly.
In the sixties and seventies, some revolutionary regimes in the Arab world needed an Arab capital to settle their disputes, making Beirut a good choice for them. They detonated their bombs in its streets and fought in its neighborhoods directly or through contractors. Even Western intelligence agencies benefited from that city located in the midst of international contact lines, using Beirut as a base for their operations, information exchange, meetings, and recruiting agents. It was a city without oversight, as if al-Maghout, in his beautiful Syrian dialect, described it: (a city where everyone has their own power).
Today, Gaza seems a comfortable alternative for the heirs of those powers, organizations, and gangs, but Gaza needs an exciting mix of conflicting forces and a green line separating the fighters, along with good cafes where spies meet and complex relationships are arranged, in other words, a city that is rebuilt anew and opened to everyone so that some of the heirs of "Nasrallah, George Habash, Haniya, Aflaq, Haykal, and Kanafani" can benefit from it.
