Surprise, surprise! Mahmoud Abbas, aka Abu Mazen, aka two-faced Palestinian who received his PHD on his thesis declaring the Holocaust to be a hoax, won the Palestinian election even before the first vote was cast.
Abbas won the Presidential election of the Palestinian people who want it all. They want a Yasser Arafat and a negotiator. So Abbas gave them both.
To his Arab constituents, Abbas campaigned as the HARDLINER. He made it clear as to what he thinks of the "Zionist Entity".
He's already demanded the unconditional release of all Palestinians who are imprisoned by Israel, regardless of their crime. Even murder.
Abbas will accept nothing less than to have the millions of so-called Palestinian "refugees" given the right to return to their homes, or the homes in Israel, of their parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, or cousins.
Even if a home in Israel never existed for them. In that case, they would just claim ownership of the land that was supposedly theirs or their families' prior to 1948.
Abbas then goes on to tell the Israelis, that they don't have the right to go after TERRORISTS, all of whom he refers to as freedom fighters. And he promises the Palestinian murderers and murderer wannabes that he will protect them.
Abbas has said that violence was not, and is not a good strategy against the Israelis. But he never said that killing Jews was somehow morally wrong.
And to remedy his problem with Palestinian killers and thugs, Abbas has invited them to serve in his new security apparatus.
And most of all, in his opinion: Jerusalem is the eternal capital of the Palestinian people.
That's how he speaks to the Palestinians.
To the West, Abbas simply says that he is a man of peace willing to negotiate with Israel.
If Abbas really does try to negotiate with Israel in good faith, he is a dead-man. You can't promise "Philistines" the sun and the moon, and then tell them to settle for a few pebbles. Especially these "Philistines".
And if he tries to pull an Arafat by playing word-games, the Israelis will simply give him the cold shoulder and continue building the security barrier, while they do their level best to bring TERRORIST Palestinian Arabs to justice or their graves.
Mahmoud Abbas is just one more Palestinian who will disappoint everyone and make things worse, not better.
Of that I'm certain. So for me, I hold no anticipation for peace coming from the Palestinians.
The brief history of the Palestinian people is replete with lies, delusion, corruption, and extreme violence.
You simply cannot make peace with people who are not in the peace-making business, and have no concept whatsoever of the most basic of Democratic principles.

Ping!
I don't trust him anymore than I trusted Arafat---I hope when he meets with Bush, Bush looks into HIS eyes and sees the terrorist that he is---just like Arafat.
The whole world is cheering this election, bah, just like Saddam's elections, these people have no clue what a real election is---and the world just wants to not have to deal with this problem right now, while they are busy trying to get Bush out of power, so they will pat him on the back and give him their tacit approval to keep on with the intifada.
Me either. Abbas seems like Arafat in an expensive Italian suit. I sure hope that if Bush does meet this character that he does indeed see him for the terrorist he is and stops all the talk of a Philistine state and pressuring Israel and sends Abbas back to Gaza on the next plane.
Abbas is just the Arafat Mark-II.
Arafat is not the first and not the last who tries to destroy us (check our 4000 years old history).
If its needed to overcome Abbas, we will do so. We had much worser enemies than Arafat or Abbas thats for sure.
BTTT
I have no doubt that Israel can overcome Abbas if the need arises. But I hate to think what price you all may have to pay if Bush and Company keep pressuring Sharon to give away "land for peace." Yeah, you all have had enemies much worse than Abbas in your history. It would just be nice if for once everyone would stop making it harder for you all to deal with those who are your enemies and ours.
"He declared Jihad tonight..."
Yeh, I know, the lot of them over there declare Jihad everytime a butterfly sneezes! I swear they all must play the same subliminal tapes under their pillows a night. Every time you see the news, some yahoo over there is screaming Jihad at somebody or another.
Hopefully Israel won't be that stupid to think Abu Mazn is a voice of moderation
Thanks C from E. Pingin' a few also.
"Israel has shown incredible restraint"
Well said.
No problem, glad to oblige!

Thanks for the link. I hope he's just trying to appease the more radical element of his people. If not, Israel is fully capable of crushing them.
My comments earlier today at the link you indicated:
"Appearing before cheering crowds last night, Abu Mazen said that the period of the "little Jihad [holy war] had ended, and now the big Jihad is beginning."
My comment number 1: Same ole, same ole, same ole. The PA bunch must listen to the same subliminal BS tapes each night.
"Yisacharov gave a nervous chuckle and said, "I don't think he means a real Jihad, he just means the challenges ahead of reforms in the PA and the release of Palestinian prisoners by Israel...""
My comment number 2: Uh-huh. Yeah. And Santa flies through the air in a sleigh pulled by 10 purple flying hippos.
Only time will tell if he's another Arafat. I genuinely hope it's all hype. If not, well, we all no that throughout history, enemies of Israel have suffered God's wrath. Wouldn't want to be them. Look at Egypt. They've been impoverished since the plagues.
Wasn't this guy behind the olympic massacre?
