When Did Mahmoud Abbas Become Mother Teresa? by Jack Engelhard
In his meeting with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, President Bush cited Mahmoud Abbas as “a reasonable voice among the extremists.”
Speaking on Fox TV, even Charles Krauthammer labeled Abbas as a nice guy. (Or words along those lines.)
Therefore, Abbas is to receive all the money and weapons he needs to stay in business along the “West Bank” (before Hamas comes in to take that over as well, using all the American-provided firepower that it stole right under the nose of Fatah.This Hamas takeover of the "West Bank" is sure to happen any day, any week. You have my guarantee on this -- and you heard it here first.)
America is shipping over these gift packages as quickly as it can, and Israel is about to release millions in withheld tax revenues. (If it hasn’t done so already.)
Quickly, more Jewish guns and bullets are being rushed to Abbas and his Fatah “moderate” terrorists.
The European Union has already lifted its economic embargo against the PA – which never went into effect anyway.
At the same time, Gaza’s Palestinian Arabs who voted for Hamas are now surging into Israel for health and safety. Or, as someone has already written – You Wanted Hamas, You Got Hamas. (Why this change of heart?) Newly appointed defense minister Ehud Barak is showing the world that he is more merciful than God by allowing dozens, soon to be hundreds (perhaps thousands?) of these Hamas supporters to cross through and sometimes into Israel. (The safety of Arabs first, the safety of Jews last.)
Did someone say “reasonable voice?”
In his book, “The Other Side: The Secret Relationship Between Nazism and Zionism,” Abbas wrote that the figure SIX MILLION was “inflated” and designed to serve “the purpose of the Zionistic movement.” Abbas placed the number of Jews murdered in the Holocaust at “only” a few hundred thousand. (The title alone is a tip-off of where Abbas is going in this “book.”)
Abbas served as Yasser Arafat’s lieutenant during Arafat’s PLO reign of terror against Israel throughout the decades, beginning in the 1960s. Virtually every suicide bombing and terrorist attack against Jews, inside and outside of Israel, could be traced back to Arafat and tinged with Abbas’s fingerprints.
There is evidence (as noted in Wikipedia online) that Abbas funded the Munich Olympic Massacare of 1972. Eleven Israeli athletes were murdered in cold blood.
Hamas took responsibility for the March 27, 2002 Passover Massacre at the Park Hotel in Netanya, and here 30 Israelis, most of them elderly, were murdered. The PLO distanced itself from this slaughter and condemned it in the English-speaking press. But in the Arabic press, the same PLO, administered by Arafat and Abbas, praised the debauchery and glorified the murderers.
Some will say that everything is relative. Yes, this man Abbas may have weaknesses, but his Fatah is not as bad as Hamas.
If this is true and acceptable, it is like saying that Al-Qaeda is good and moderate because it is not as bad as the Taliban.
It is like saying that Adolf Eichmann was good and moderate because he was not as bad as Josef Mengele.
Bottom line – Mahmoud Abbas may be a terrorist, but he is OUR terrorist, so come let us adore him.
The Jews should have killed Abbas, along with Arafat and the rest of the PLO leadership in 1982. They were all conveniently sitting on a cruise ship, fleeing from Lebanon. Every one of them and their families, waiting for an Israeli torpedo to end it all once and for all. Israel bungled it, sad to say in large part because of Reagan’s ignorance of the issue, as he demonstrated by forcing Israel out of Lebanon and his weakness in confronting Hizbollah in 1983.
