Lebanese journalist Nadim Koteich mocked a statement by Palestinian ambassador to France. The ambassador had said that the Palestinian resistance has gone on for 100 years, and it will go on for 100 years more.
Koteich said that the ambassador is free to pledge another 100 years of resistance because he doesn't actually have to live in Palestine.
Koteich added that the Palestinians received an opportunity to establish a prosperous state in Gaza, after Israel withdrew from the Strip in 2005, however, they destroyed it.
Koteich said that the UAE succeeded in turning warring tribes and chiefdoms into a prosperous union, while the Palestinians have done the exact opposite, creating warring factions upon factions. He said that the Palestinians could stand to learn from the UAE, and should not criticize it.
